The Devil Wears Tartan

Dane Marner's aunt is obsessed with soul mates. As a self-proclaimed 'cosmically guided matchmaker, ' she's played every card in the deck trying to set Dane up with the perfect match she's found. The problem? The 'perfect' match is Evangeline Hudson. Dane and Evangeline rent rooms in Dane's eccentric aunt's house, but that's where their similarities end. Dane is a drifter who freewheels from one odd job to the next, and Evangeline is an overachieving undergrad with a ten year plan so detailed it reads like an autobiography. The two can't even agree on a laundry schedule without feuding, but when Dane's aunt reveals new tenants ready to take over the lease, they realize they'll need to play some cards of their own to keep the beautiful old house they both love. Their plan is simple: fake falling for each other long enough to get some soul mate sympathy-and a lease renewal. A few lingering glances, some 'accidental' touches, maybe some well-timed tiptoeing into each other's rooms late at night... It's a stretch, but it just might work. Only said tiptoeing starts to heat the house up faster than they can stop it. As their plan begins peeling back the layers between them to reveal more similarities and way more feelings than either expected to find, Dane and Evangeline are forced to toe the line between real and fake-and decide which side they're brave enough to stand on. Just Might Work is a New Adult NBLW lesbian romantic comedy featuring a non-binary lead and a cis heroine faking their way into real love.

Stop and Stare

Sometimes you take the shot, and sometimes the shot takes you. As the manager of Montreal's most infamous dive bar, Monroe-and it's just Monroe, thank you very much-is used to serving up her signature pearls of wisdom alongside an array of shots, pints, and pitchers. In fact, she thrives on it. Taverne Toulouse is a mighty ship, and she its fearless captain, trusted by patrons and bar staff alike to steer them through choppy waters. If only she'd been given a little warning before a full-on tsunami swept in next door. Julien Valois' wining and dining empire is making waves. The next item on his agenda is opening a trendy lounge right next to Monroe's beloved Taverne Toulouse-one that's meant to run the dive bar out of business so he can buy up that property too. His plans did not include falling for a five-foot-nothing brunette with an impressive vocabulary and an even more impressive ability to manhandle drunk frat boys twice her size. They're rivals in every sense of the word, but when Monroe and Julien are in a room together, the battle lines fade away. Their defences lower, their hearts get louder than their heads, and the burn between them goes down like just the right shot-intense, intoxicating, and able to sweep their priorities away with a single taste. Until reality decides to slap up a big 'For Sale' sign and force them remember those priorities all too clearly.

She expects suggestive comments and smarmy-eyed stares, but when Aaron gets behind the camera he treats her body like a work of art. Even though all she's got on is a scrap of satin, the room suddenly feels way too hot. As the tension between them builds to expensive-panty-melting-levels, Christina finds herself caught between falling for the complicated artist who knows just what poses to put her in, and wondering why he acts like such an irritating hotshot around everyone else.
