10 Romance Books coming out in 2025

I never imagined that small-town charm and big business could be a stage for love to bloom.
As CEO of a billion-dollar business, I’m used to being in control.
But when my jet emergency lands in Sunset Cove, I find myself drenched in curry and face-to-face with Skye, a fiery food truck owner who doesn’t care about my power or status.
We may seem like polar opposites, but as I get to know her, our differences fade.
When her house floods and she moves across the hall from me at the inn, I run into her often. As I see her kindness and compassion for others, my feelings intensify.
Late-night walks on the beach evolve into deep conversations and passionate kisses, telling me she feels the same.
I’m captivated by her beauty, but it’s her fierce loyalty to this little town that really pulls me in.
Yeah, that’s the very town I’m here to buy up and dismantle piece by piece … and likely break her heart in the process. Couldn’t be worse.
Now I’m beginning to question what really matters.
The more my feelings for Skye grow, I can’t ignore the pull of this place where I just might find the life – and love – I’ve been missing.

A shy motel owner, a pun-loving barista, and one wildly funny plan collide in this heartwarming rom-com. Sometimes the best love stories are brewed, not planned.

Desperate to save face, Molly crafts a bold plan: a fake boyfriend, brewed with just the right amount of jealousy and a dash of local charm.

Her top choice? Jeremy Wentworth.

The shy motel owner who never misses his morning coffee, Jeremy reluctantly agrees, and their staged romance quickly heats up with crossword puzzles, a laugh-out-loud cosplay trivia night, and an unexpected trip to the ER. But as Molly finds herself savoring his quiet humour and tender smiles, she starts to wonder: is this still pretend, or is her heart percolating for real?

When an unexpected twist threatens to spill the beans on Molly’s quiet life, she faces a choice: run again or brew a cup of faith in having found what truly perks her up.

How did I end up living with my ex?

Imagine: I’m at the altar, about to marry Lucas, my parents’ “perfect” choice, when I see Matteo, my first love. Cue the runaway bride scene!

Desperate for a new start in New York, I learn my father has arranged housing – with Matteo! He’d completely forgotten he’d pressured me to dump Matteo five years ago.

Rebuilding our relationship is difficult. He’s hurt and resentful. It’s understandable because I let my parents control my life.
Living in his penthouse for four months is a constant reminder of our past. The buried feelings resurface.

Beneath his cool exterior, I see the kind man I fell for and realize the feelings are mutual.

Falling for him again is amazing, but terrifying. If my father finds out, I could be disowned, or worse, forced back to the altar with Lucas, who’s still lurking.

She’s focused on her career, not on the sweet coworker chipping away at the industrial-strength walls around her heart.
Nicole Delaney is eager to make her mark as a librarian at a charming Florida college, but an ambitious, and potentially controversial, project leads her straight into the one thing she’s set on avoiding—romance.

When her boss pairs her with the endearingly awkward Adam, a fellow librarian, she’s caught off guard. Adam is thoughtful, steady, and patient; he might be just what Nicole doesn’t know she needs. Though Adam’s heart has been set on Nicole from the beginning, it’s her anxious mind that he needs to win over.

As they navigate their growing connection and step outside their comfort zones, both at work and in their relationship, they discover that facing life’s challenges is much easier when you have someone by your side.

Marry a stranger, adopt my nephew. Sounds easy enough…right?
Roxy:
After my brother’s untimely death, I’m left brokenhearted and fighting for a teenage nephew who doesn’t seem to care whether he’s out on the streets or tucked into bed at night.
Maybe I’m not the most responsible person to raise Axel, but I’m the only family he has left. I would do anything, even sacrifice my future, in order to gain permanent custody of him. Which is why I take Christian Price up on his crazy offer.
But I never could have known that agreeing to a marriage of convenience with my hot billionaire boss would also satisfy my year-long crush on the biker boy of my dreams.
Christian:
Aside from my online alter ego, all I’ve ever wanted to do was take over the family business. So why, when that goal is finally within reach, does my dad slap me with some manipulative bogus contract?
No loving father in his right mind would tell his overqualified son that he can’t inherit their family’s legacy until he’s settled down with a wife and gives proof that he’s committed to providing an heir to pass the company on to someday.
Then I find the solution herself crying in the supply room at work, and everything falls into place. There’s just one complication: my contractual marriage to Roxy quickly turns into way more than I bargained for…and something I don’t think I can give up.
