Heart Eyes Press

The newest barista at the Busy Bean is about to steam the place up... Former Marine Mason Rye can make a cappuccino with military precision, but he finds it much harder to serve up a smile. It’s not that he doesn’t like people. But he knows from experience that once you let someone in, it hurts like hell when you lose them. And Mason’s lost too many people already. So it’s pretty damn inconvenient when his old Marine buddy shows up on Mason’s goat farm with his younger sister in tow. Heather’s work in Washington D.C. has turned dangerous, and she needs a safe place out of town. Mason doesn’t need a new roommate, especially not a pretty, single one who insists on rearranging his spice rack and giving his chickens cute names. Although there’s no denying the haunted look in her blue eyes. Every time her fear shows its face, he wants to reach for her. The problem is that she wants him, too. And when Mason breaks all his rules, they practically burn down his bed together. But her life is in D.C. And the threat against her is over. Unfortunately, neither of their hearts is fireproof...

The World of True North

Fireproof

He’s tortured and dark, angsty and arrogant. You want the truth? He’s kind of an A-hole. He’s also the CEO. Everything in my life goes according to plan, and that’s the way I like it. I got the degree. I got the job. Now I just need to prove that I have what it takes to succeed in the real world. If there’s one thing that’s not in my plans, it’s falling in love with my boss. Most relationships don’t start with one person calling the other out in public for being an arrogant jerk. Then again, most CEOs don’t cut their own employees in line at the coffeehouse and bark orders at people like they own the place. Maybe pissing Oliver Cody off isn’t the right move. And now that he’s part of my world, all my plans go straight to hell. This sexy standalone novel includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title. Praise for Mr. Big “This is a masterful piece of writing. I could not, and did not, put it down until I finished the book.

Hot chemistry, sizzling sex, and a hero you can’t wait to get what’s coming to him, Mr. Big will keep you turning pages.”—USA Today bestselling author Jamie K. Schmidt, “Mr. Big is the kind of smart, sexy delight that every woman deserves to read!

A Novel

Mr. Big

The first book in a sweet, funny series with movie stars, fake relationships, and the funniest grandmother ever to turn 90!

Happily Ever His

PR rep Erica tries out the respected Mr. Match service to find the one ... but what happens when "the one" turns out to be the one guy she absolutely can't stand? Fernando Fuerte is a total player. In every sense of the word. He’s star forward for the Sharks, the pro soccer team where I handle PR. And I loathe him. So when Mr. Match matches us, I know there's a mistake. The guys is my biggest PR nightmare and nemesis. Fernando “the Fire” Fuerte has more dates than a calendar, and his tabloid shenanigans turn my stomach and regularly challenge my ability to keep the Sharks organization looking respectable in the public eye. My brother Trace—Fuerte’s best friend and keeper for the Sharks—laughed at me when I told him who I’d been matched with. He laughed. (I might take myself a bit seriously, but I don't like being laughed at. Especially not by a guy who got arrested once for getting stuck in a fast food drive through window.) Fernando Fuerte will go out with me if I decide that’s what I want. And when Trace makes me a bet that I can’t get Fuerte to ask me out even if he IS supposed to be my match? Well. I mean, I can't lose a bet. The problem is that the closer I get to Fuerte, the more I start to see that he’s actually a good guy. And the closer I'm afraid I am to becoming just another girl in his long line of dates. If I fall for him, can I win more than just the ridiculous cheese bet I made with my brother? Can I actually win Fuerte’s love? Scoring with the Keeper’s Sister is a hilariously fun romantic comedy featuring an annoyingly hot pro soccer player, a gloriously silly goalie as his best friend, a bet about Wensleydale cheese, and the matchmaking site everyone is talking about. It’s part of a lighthearted and fun series, but it stands alone with no cheating or cliffhangers. "Fun, flirty, and laugh-out-loud funny!" -- Bestselling Author Pippa Grant Five Star Review from Readers' Favorite: "Scoring the Keeper's Sister by Delancey Stewart was flirty, hilarious, and too entertaining to put down."

Shaking the Sleigh

From USA Today bestseller, Delancey Stewart, comes a brand new standalone romantic comedy perfect for fall. I had it all. Killer job, to-die-for apartment overlooking the Hudson, and the successful, doting boyfriend. Well, he was successful, at least. Guys who dote don’t break up with you via Post-It. After that, I did the one thing I swore I’d never do. I went home to the smallest small town there is—a place so backward my family was still engaging in a hundreds-of-years-old feud with the Tuckers. Maybe it had evolved from the days of shooting one another to slightly more benign things, like filling family stores with crickets and moving a two-ton moose around town. But still. This was not NYC. It was meant to be a stop-over. But when a little old lady died suddenly and left her dilapidated haunted house to me, things got complicated. Because she didn’t just leave the house to me. She left it to me and Michael Tucker jointly. Because who doesn’t want to live in a haunted house with their sworn enemy? Only I’m not sure Michael Tucker is my enemy. In fact, he’s turning out to be kind of… hot. In a strong single dad kind of way. And I’m not sure how much I really want to get back to New York City, anyway. Falling into Forever is the fifth book in Delancey Stewart’s Singletree – a series of interconnected stand-alone romcoms that will charm you and make you swoon. It’s a book about haunted houses, making choices, and re-thinking the things we’ve been told about other people all our lives.

Falling Into Forever

Sometimes finding the future you want means embracing the past... This smart, funny small-town romance is the second book in Delancey Stewart's Kings Grove Series.

Love Reimagined

Mr. Match has the formula for love. So why is he still single? MAX: Being Mr. Match has been fun. And while it’s nice that thousands of couples have found love thanks to me, that was never really the point. The one guy I most wanted to match? Doesn’t have one. Now the vultures are circling, and it won’t be long before all of San Diego finds out exactly who I am. And then the questions will begin. Why hasn’t Mr. Match found his match? If I answer that one, it’ll discredit everything Mr. Match is, and call into question all the matches I’ve made so far. It’s time to step away. But when the venture capital analyst arrives to help divest me of the business, I’m starting to wonder if love really is as easy as a mathematical formula. Because Tatum Archer does something to me that defies logic and confounds reason. I feel feelings for her, even though the algorithm says I shouldn’t. Have I been wrong all along? TATUM: My life was set. Divorce, check. Kickass job, check. Enormous dog… well, okay, that wasn’t part of the plan, but Charlie is my sidekick now and I’m okay with that. A weeklong trip to San Diego to help set up the sale of a matchmaking business sounds like just the kind of challenge I thrive on. I just didn’t expect Mr. Match himself to be quite so… Arrogant. Frustrating. or HOT. When my manager suggests I take over the company and stay in San Diego temporarily, it makes perfect sense from a business perspective. But getting involved with a client would be the end of everything I’d spent years building. We have to keep things professional. Max assures me we’re not a match anyway. So why can’t we keep our hands off each other? * * * Tatum Archer doesn't date clients, and Max isn't signing up for a romantic liaison that hasn't been mathematically guaranteed. So why can't he stop thinking about Tatum? Or about her ridiculously enormous dog, Charlie? Not that he's thinking about Charlie romantically, of course. But the dog is part of a package deal. And maybe he's thinking about Tatum a little bit romantically... The final book in the Mr. Match series sees Mr. Match finally find his own match! Don’t miss the laughs in this hilarious series finale!

A pro soccer, workplace romantic comedy

Scoring with the Boss

She followed him around the world, only to find he wasn’t waiting for her. Can he convince her to give him a second chance? HAMISH: I’ll be honest—I hadn’t been thinking much about love or marriage. I’d met the girl for me and let her go years ago. And until I could make that right? I wasn’t looking. Until my Durnish family reminded me that to keep my place in line for the Durnish throne (and my only real link to my homeland) I needed to tie the knot before I hit thirty. The issue? There’s only one girl I’m willing to marry and I haven’t seen or heard from her in six years. I’ll have to find her fast and hope she won’t be bothered by my lack of… experience. She’s the one. And until I find her again, I haven’t wanted to share my royal scepter with just anyone, if ya get my drift. SOPHIE: I followed Hamish MacEvoy to America six years ago, but what I found there told me right away he wasn’t waiting around for me. Since then, I’ve built my own life—free of kilt-wearing football players, thank you very much. I have a successful business baking wedding cakes for the elite of the San Diego wedding scene. But when Erica Johnson and Fernando Fuerte—who plays for Hamish’s team—came walking through my door, I should have hidden. Well, actually I did hide, but it all fell apart anyway. I’m just not sure I’m ready to give Hamish a second chance. * * * Hamish "The Hammer" MacEvoy is every Sharks player's favorite kilt-wearing drinking buddy. But he's also a prince. And to keep his place in line for the throne of his tiny island country, he has to be married before the age of thirty. Can Hamish find Sophie? And if he does, can he convince her to give him another chance after all this time? And if he can do that, will they survive the Feats of Matrimonial Might? And what about all the sheep? The third hilarious book in the Mr. Match series will take you for a laugh-out-loud ride you won’t forget!

Through a Dusty Window

Tell me I can't do something because I'm a girl. Go ahead. Can't go to MIT? Can't be a chemical engineering major? Guess what? And when my family finally accepted I wasn't going to follow my mother and sisters and become a kindergarten teacher slash housewife with a house full of kids, I decided to throw one more wild card their way. I joined the Navy and became a fighter pilot. I don't like being put in a box, which is why I was excited to accept an old friend's offer to head to Colorado to help him get a new resort up and running. Problem: My conscience is telling me I can't mess with Mateo Bandini, the ridiculously hot contractor working on the renovation. (Remember what I said about telling me not to do stuff?) This man is absolutely, undeniably, 100% smoking hot. He has this whole single dad, grumpy responsible thing going on, and my kind of trouble is the last thing a guy like Mateo needs. He's got enough on his plate, so I vow to stay away. So when he corners me one night at the resort and lets me know he's noticed me too? Well, when opportunity knocks... But things get deep fast. With him, with his adorable daughter. That's when I realize that running from the expectations that I'll settle down and have a family only brought them right to my door. That's not me. This is only a crush.

How to Lose a Girl in 10 Texts

Save the Last Text

A new standalone romcom from USA Today Bestselling author Delancey Stewart brings the heat in the form of a steamy former Marine bodyguard! Juliet Manchester is America's best-loved movie starlet. But when a nasty divorce and a sex-tape scandal threaten to tarnish her spotless good-girl reputation, she turns to co-star Ryan McDonnell to help distract the media with a passionate (and completely fake) new romance. The only problem? They're both in love with other people. Going home for Gran's 90th in Maryland was something I normally would've been looking forward to. But the timing is terrible. My ex is dragging me through a media scandal (even though he's the one who cheated. Spectacularly. On the kitchen island. With my personal chef), and if I had my way, I'd stay out of the spotlight entirely. But America's Sweetheart has to be okay, and my agent is positive the best way to convince America that I'm not in the midst of a breakdown is to date my latest co-star. He's hot. He's sweet. And he's willing. But he's not the man I'm in love with. The former Marine bodyguard who's been stationed inside my house by the private security firm I employ is nothing like a movie star. He's rough around the edges, from the wrong side of the tracks… and one-hundred percent exactly my type. But the two of us together? Could cost us both our jobs. I just need to remember that Jace Morgan is here to protect me. Not to love me. But when he comes along to Maryland? Lines get crossed, and I'm not talking about the Mason-Dixon, y'all. Happily Ever Hers is a full-length laugh-out-loud romcom with narcoleptic pugs, cursing Grans who drink too many Manhattans, and a stoic ex-military hero who just might break your heart. (Standalone and no cliffhanger!)
