It's been five years since Charlotte Donovan was ditched at the altar by her ex-fiancée, and she's doing more than okay. Sure, her single mother never checks in, but she has her strings ensemble, the Rosalind Quartet, and her life in New York is a dream come true.As the holidays draw near, her ensemble mate Sloane persuades Charlotte and the rest of the quartet to spend Christmas with her family in Colorado - it is much cozier and quieter than Manhattan, and it would guarantee more practice time for the quartet's upcoming tour. But when Charlotte arrives, she discovers that Sloane's sister Adele also brought a friend home - and that friend is none other than her ex, Brighton. All Brighton Fairbrook wanted was to have the holliest, jolliest Christmas - and try to forget that her band kicked her out.But instead, she's stuck pretending like she and her ex are strangers - which proves to be difficult when Sloane and Adele's mom signs them all up for a series of Christmas dating events.

Delila Greenová přísahala, že už se nikdy do Bright Falls nevrátí - nečeká ji tam nic než vzpomínky na osamělé dětství. Žije teď v New Yorku, její kariéra fotografky se konečně začíná slibně rozvíjet a postel nemá nikdy prázdnou. Jasně, každou noc je v ní jiná žena, ale s tím nemá Delila problém. Když podlehne citovému vydírání nevlastní sestry, s níž se dávno odcizily, aby za lákavý obnos nafotila její svatbu, ocitá se Delila zpátky v Bright Falls. Původně si tam sice jen chtěla odbýt své a zase se vypařit, ale potom potká Claire Sutherlandovou, jednu z Astridiných nejlepších kamarádek, a rozhodne se, že si ten pobyt nakonec přece jen užije - a přitom se tak trochu pomstí. Claire, která vychovávala svou dceru většinou sama, se potýká s nespolehlivým bývalým, vlastní knihkupectví a vede dost jednotvárný život. Delila Greenová do něj vstoupí jako nevítané překvapení… Alespoň zezačátku. Ač o sobě vědí léta, ve skutečnosti se vůbec neznají - a tak Claire znepokojí, že Delila ví, co na ni platí. Když je okolnosti během mnoha předsvatebních akcí svedou dohromady, Claire si už není jistá, zda má sílu odolat Delilinu kouzlu. A co hůř, začíná si myslet, že ani odolat nechce…

From the author of Delilah Green Doesn't Care comes a new queer romcom in which a woman who refuses to date after her latest devastating breakup ends up fake-dating a woman with whom she had a horrible one-night stand while they both participate in a local theatre production. Perfect for fans of Alexandria Bellefleur, Casey McQuiston and Rosie Danan.

Všichni okolo Iris Kellyové jsou zamilovaní. Její nejlepší kamarádky jsou spárované, její sourozenci mají dokonalé partnery, její rodiče si pořád užívají manželského štěstí. A ona jim to přeje, fakticky. No a co že cestu domů v Lyftu obvykle probrečí. No a co že jí chybí kámošky, které jsou tak zaměstnané svým báječným milostným životem, že si vůbec neuvědomují, že se Iris propadá do propasti. Aspoň že má zbrusu novou kariéru spisovatelky romancí (jo, vnímá tu ironii). Zrovna pracuje na druhé knize, má ovšem jistý problém: nemá jediný nápad, všechnu svoji romantickou energii totiž vyždímala na svůj debut. Iris jako obvykle své problémy bez nejmenších výčitek ignoruje a vyrazí do baru v Portlandu, kde potká sexy ne­známou jménem Stefania, z noci plné tance a špásování se ovšem stane nejhorší známost na jednu noc v jejím životě (bohužel dojde i na zvratky a slzy). Aby všecko dostala z hlavy a překonala spisovatelský blok, zkusí Iris komunitní divadlo, kde se však ocitne tváří v tvář se Stefanií – nebo se Stevie, jak se ve skutečnosti jmenuje. Když ji Stevie v zoufalství požádá, aby předstírala, že spolu randí, Iris to šokuje, ale rozhodne se jí vyhovět, falešný vztah by totiž mohl rozproudit její kreativní šťávy a umožnit jí napsat knihu. Jenomže zatímco si hrají na zamilovaný pár, jejich vztah se tak nažhaví, že jedinou otázkou brzy zůstane, která z nich nakonec do­opravdy udělá první krok…

A clever and steamy queer romantic comedy about taking chances and accepting love - with all its complications. Perfect for fans of Alexandria Bellefleur, Casey McQuiston and Rosie Danan. Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls - nothing is there for her except memories of a lonely childhood. Her life now is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it's a different woman every night, but that's just fine with her. When Delilah's estranged stepsister pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a large check, Delilah finds herself back in Bright Falls once more. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid's stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there's some fun (and a little retribution) to be had, after all. Having raised her daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise . . . at first. Though they've known each other for years, they don't really know each other - so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. And when they're forced together during the many wedding preparations, Claire isn't sure she has the strength to resist Delilah's charms. Even worse, she's starting to think she doesn't want to . . .
