Abby Spencer knows she can come across as an airhead – she talks too much and is a bit of a klutz. Though she sacrificed her career to help raise her sisters, a job interview at biscuit company Crumbs could finally be her chance to shine. Managing director Douglas Faulkner isn't sure what to make of Abby with her Bambi eyes, tousled hair and ability to say more in the half-hour interview than he manages in a day. All he knows is she's a breath of fresh air and could bring a new lease of life to the corporate world of Crumbs. To his life too, if he'd let her…

Oh Crumbs

Ben Jacobs flunked spectacularly out of school, so he knows his new client Dr Kelly Bridge spells trouble for him. But on a conference trip to Rome he finds things are worse than he thought. Not only is he falling for the brilliant scientist, he's also become horribly aware she's in grave danger. As they go on the run, dodging bullets and kidnappers, can he resist his feelings and keep her safe?

Now, as Harry and Sally bring major romcom moments to new life – including recreating that classic diner scene – their faking it turns to making…out and suddenly they’re living a real life romcom of their own!

Booked for Summer

Faith Watkins loves Christmas, which is why she's thrilled that her new hotel in the Lake District will be open in time for the festive season. But what she didn't bank on was her first paying customer being someone like Adam Hunter.

As the countdown to the big day begins, Faith can't seem to keep away from her mysterious guest: just what happened to Adam Hunter? And why does he hate Christmas?

But this Christmas could be different, because this time she might not be spending it alone. Can Owen Cooper charm Gabby into loving Christmas in the same way he's charmed his way into her life, or is he just another person who'll end up disappointing her?

But, no matter how successful he is, it seems he always falls short of his championship-winning father's legacy.

But when a troubled young boy goes missing, everything is thrown into turmoil, including Aiden's championship dream.

Before You

Whilst most little boys wait with excitement for the big day, William finds it difficult to believe that Father Christmas even exists. But then Daniel McCormick comes into their lives. And with his help, Melissa and William might just be able to find their festive spirit…

Jessie's partner is none other than Michael Tennant! As she becomes better acquainted with the man behind the voice, will Jessie find out the hard way that you should never meet your idols?

Booked for the Summer

A Nantucket Fling

A casual summer fling between a businesswoman on vacation in Nantucket and a young single dad turns into something more in this delightful rom-com from the author of Booked for the Summer. Olivia is a fiercely independent woman climbing the ladder of corporate finance. But when her family demands she take time off to go to her niece’s bachelorette and wedding in Nantucket, she reluctantly agrees. On the island, she catches the eye of Connor: a handsome, cocky, playboy type—also ten years her junior. Olivia’s sisters egg her on, encouraging a summer fling, but she’s more interested in catching up on her finance reading. Except…he’s funny and sexy, and doing her ego a world of good. Connor might come across as a playboy because he was one, eight years ago. That all stopped when he became a dad and found himself raising his daughter single-handedly. But this summer, she’s with her grandparents for a month while he’s in Nantucket, working in a restaurant with the hopes of opening his own one day. His time on the island also provides a rare opportunity: to forget the struggles of being a single dad and become the carefree guy he used to be, who very much enjoyed flirting with the opposite sex. Especially when they’re cool, classy, probably older than him, and most definitely out of his league. As their attraction steadily grows, Connor gets Olivia to relax her tightly held control and indulge in the fling she won’t admit she needs. But too soon, the holiday is over and they’re back home, living two very different lives. When Connor’s presented with an opportunity to see Olivia again, he leaps at it, but this time it’s different. He’s no longer a charming young playboy but a struggling single dad. A relationship, a family, is not what Olivia wants. And yet, neither can ignore the intense chemistry that didn’t go away after the summer. Are they just a Nantucket fling... or something much more?
