The last Christmas cowboy / by Yates, Maisey.;
Will this brooding Gold Valley cowboy find redemption this Christmas? Cowgirl Rose Daniels is determined to play matchmaker to ensure her beloved sister will meet someone under the mistletoe. She enlists the reluctant help of family friend Logan Heath, but his insistence that she doesn't understand chemistry is exasperating. Until they share one electrifying moment that shows her exactly what chemistry is all about, and it becomes outrageously, irresistibly intriguing...Logan hates the holidays. They are a painful reminder of the family he lost and a time of year he always wants to spend on his own. But Rose refuses to let him. Logan's worked for years to keep his attraction to her under wraps--she's his best friend's youngest sister and she couldn't be more off-limits. He's the last cowboy that innocent Rose should ever kiss, but this Christmas, maybe Logan will become the only cowboy she'll ever want.

Dating you / hating you / by Lauren, Christina,author.;
"All's fair in love and work. The first standalone romance by New York Times and #1 international bestselling author Christina Lauren (Beautiful Bastard) is a sexy, compulsively readable romantic comedy that dives headlong into the thrill and doubt of modern love. Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing meet-awkward at a mutual friend's Halloween party, Carter and Evie immediately hit it off. Even the realization that they're both high-powered agents at competing firms in Hollywood isn't enough to squash the fire. But when their two agencies merge--causing the pair to vie for the same position--all bets are off. What could have been a beautiful, blossoming romance turns into an all-out war of sabotage. Carter and Evie are both thirtysomething professionals--so why can't they act like it? Can Carter stop trying to please everyone and see how their mutual boss is really playing the game? Can Evie put aside her competitive nature long enough to figure out what she really wants in life? Can their actor clients just be something close to human? Whether these two Hollywood love/hatebirds get the storybook Hollywood ending or just a dramedy of epic proportions, you will get to enjoy Christina Lauren's heartfelt, raucous, and hilarious romance style at its finest"--

A victory garden for trying times : a memoir / by Goodwin, Debi,author.;
"A woman's journey through a year of love, loss, and despair. Debi's husband, Peter, was diagnosed with cancer in November 2015, too late in the season to seek solace in gardening. Ever since her childhood on a Niagara farm, Debi has dug in the dirt to find resilience. With idle hands and a mind filled with fear, she now sought something to sustain her through the months ahead. She soon came across victory gardens-- the vegetable gardens cultivated during the world wars to fight hunger and hold on to hope. During an anxious winter, she researched, drew plans, and ordered seeds. In spring, with Peter in remission, her garden thrived and life got back on track. But when Peter's cancer returned like a killing frost and he died suddenly of a heart attack, the garden was a reminder that everything ends. For weeks, she hated the garden until she could finally return to tending it, allowing her grief to crack open while preparing the garden for another year of growth. A Victory Garden for Trying Times is a journey through a year of love and despair, and a testament to healing in the natural cycles of the earth."--

Six scorched roses / by Broadbent, Carissa,author.;
"Six roses. Six vials of blood. Six visits to a vampire who could be her salvation ... or her damnation. Lilith has been dying since the day she was born.

As her town slowly withers in the clutches of a mysterious god-cursed illness, she takes matters into her own hands. Desperate to find a cure, Lilith strikes a bargain with the only thing the gods hate even more than her village: a vampire, Vale. She offers him six roses in exchange for six vials of vampire blood-- the one hope for her town's salvation. But when what begins as a simple transaction gradually becomes something more, Lilith is faced with a terrifying realization: It's dangerous to wander into the clutches of a vampire ... and in a place already suffering a god's wrath, more dangerous still to fall in love with one"--Dust jacket flap.
