Billionaire Grump
Misha Bell
Juno When I'm late for a job interview and get stuck on an elevator with an annoyingly sexy, Ancient Rome-obsessed grump, the last thing I expect is for him to be the billionaire owner of the building. I also don't expect to almost kill him... accidentally, of course. Sure, I don't get the plant care position I applied for, but I do receive an interesting offer. Lucius needs to trick the public (and his grandma) into thinking he's in a relationship, and I need tuition money to get my botany degree. Our arrangement is mutually beneficial—that is, until I start catching feelings. If being a cactus lover has taught me anything, it's that if you get too close, there's a good chance you'll end up hurt. Lucius Post-elevator incident, I'm left with three things: my favorite water bottle full of pee, a life threatening allergic reaction, and paparazzi photos of my "girlfriend" and I that make my Gram the...

Sure, Cali Sinclair is a famous resort vlogger, and Julianna just won't stop talking about apps, influencers, and social media, but would it hurt her to find another influencer to intern for?

Grump of Cole
Sabrina Stark
If he's such a monster, why can't I stop thinking about him?
Cole Henster – he was my secret shame – the guy I loved to hate and would hate to love, because like everyone else, I knew the cold, hard truth. The guy's heart was frozen solid, like a snowball left for too long in the freezer. Cole Henster wasn't just my boss. He was the new owner of Winterville Chocolates, a gourmet candy company that specialized in holiday treats. He was a grump. A monster. A stone-cold corporate raider who'd rolled into the company like a giant ball of ice, leaving a trail of wintery destruction in his wake. Who else but *him* would give our company's Santa the ol' holiday heave-ho? The guy *should* look like a goblin. But did he? *Of course not.* He had thick chestnut-colored hair, killer abs, and dark brooding eyes – the kind of eyes that might've put me on Santa's naughty list if only they didn't belong to him.But forget the pretty packaging. On the inside, he'd been a huge disappointment, like a dog turd wrapped in a fancy gift box. Sure, you could open the thing, but would you really want to? There was just one tiny problem. I sort of wanted to.And just when I think I'm out of danger, I discover the monster living directly across the street from my swanky new Christmas cat-sitting gig. On the upside, the monster wouldn't be discovering me. Not if I could help it.

Grump & Rose
Aaron Burdett
Fantasy / Ebooks
Trolls kill. Violence is as much a part of them as their arms, legs, and tusks. Everyone knows the troll Hunger, from drunk elves to righteous humans to greedy dwarves. Even the trolls of Blackwood Swamp embrace their Hunger, save the secondborn of the Bulderbags, Grump, who thinks of nothing of Hunger and everything of his goat and the sunny lands beyond their borders.
Grump never feeds his Hunger. He would rather feed his goat even if doing so brings shame to his proud family. As his murderous brother sets a brutal plan in motion, fate plucks Grump from his solitary life and plunges him into the middle of wizards, wars, and an old woman’s garden. Thrown into strange lands with even stranger people, Grump finds himself caretaker of a curious infant and companion to a goblin who promises Grump a wizard’s wish if he’ll carry the infant across the world to his mysterious master.
Reluctantly, Grump agrees. But when a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is, and this deal could destroy the world.
