The Pumpkin Spice Café – Book 1 in the viral Dream Harbor series by #1 NYT & Sunday Times bestselling author Laurie Gilmore.

Jeanie didn’t just leave her desk job—she yeeted it into oblivion when her aunt handed her the keys to the most Instagrammable café in the small town of Dream Harbor.

Enter Logan. Local farmer. Tall, scowly, probably smells like fresh-cut hay and bad decisions. He wants nothing to do with the bubbly new girl… which is awkward, because his eyes keep saying otherwise.

Cue the pumpkin spice lattes, accidental touches, late-night banter, and one very slow burn that’ll have you screaming “JUST KISS ALREADY” into your mug.

HEA guaranteed. All books in the series are standalones, but good luck stopping at just one.

🌶️ Spice Level: 2.5/5 — enough heat to fog up the café windows, but you can still read it in public without blushing toohard.
💌Tropes: Grumpy x Sunshine, Small Town Gossip, Found Family, Coffee Shop Romance, “Oh no there’s only one cinnamon roll left” energy.
📚For fans of: Emily Henry’s Book Lovers, Abby Jimenez’s Part of Your World, and that one barista who flirts just enough to ruin your whole week.

Audacity — Book 1 of the Seraph series by Elodie Hart.

Athena didn’t just aim for the moon—she landed there with seven-figure bank balance and zero regrets… until she signed on with Seraph, the elite agency placing the most accomplished women as “full‑service” executive assistants. Boardroom by day, bedroom by night? Check. Discipline, open mind, unbreakable boundaries? Also, check—until Gabriel Sullivan walks in.

Gabriel is no ordinary billionaire CEO. He’s a former Catholic priest whose appetites are as deep as his guilt. And he’s about to find out his new assistant is his most formidable temptation yet. Because Athena’s calm composure is the only thing keeping his demons at bay—and she’s about to set them all ablaze.

This is a scorching twin-POV, morally grey workplace romance spun off from the Alchemy universe. Expect steamy group dynamics, emotional grime, and a monogamous, turbulent HEA that'll leave you breathless.

🌶️ Spice Level: 5/5 — full throttle, no safe words left in the drawer.

🌟 Tropes: Billionaire CEO & Former Priest, Age Gap, Workplace Romance, Power Dynamics, Role Play & Light Bondage, Morality vs. Desire

The Naughty List — by Jade West

Santa checked it twice. She’s been very naughty.

When good girl Hallie writes her wildest fantasies on a private “Naughty List,” she never expects her best friend’s older brother—and his equally dominant friend—to find it.

Now Hallie’s about to discover what happens when two alpha men take her at her word… and make every filthy wish come true. From Christmas lights used in ways they were never intended, to the kind of “double” holiday cheer that can’t be wrapped, this is a holiday romance turned NSFW fever dream.

No rules, no limits, and definitely no mistletoe required.

🌶️ Spice Level: 5/5 — every kink in Santa’s sack, and then some.

🌟Tropes: MFM, Friends-to-Lovers, BDSM, Impact Play, Age Gap, Daddy Kink, Bondage . . .
