It’s Autumn. Is there a better time to fall in love?

Imari Haines has had it with the gossip. The whole town is acting like she’s their very own Runaway Bride. A plus-size, black version of Julia Roberts that left a perfectly nice boy at the altar. Her family is no exception. Her mother won’t stop making passive-aggressive comments.

Exhausted by this charged atmosphere, a boss that doesn’t appreciate her, and the never-ending town rumors, Imari makes a bold decision. Come autumn, she moves to Appeley (a small town in Hill Country) and never looks back. In Appeley, for the first time ever, Imari feels welcome, happy, and unapologetically herself. She tries new things, makes brand-new friends and, while attending the fall apple festival, she accidentally bumps into a very familiar face…

Cassidy Martinez was her childhood best friend and partner in crime. Now, she has grown into a stunning, confident woman, and Imari can’t help noticing.

Should she take a risk? Can the two of them pick up where they left off, or is being friends not going to be enough this time around?

An F/F Black BBW Sapphic Romance featuring plus-size main characters, a small town, autumn themes, butches and studs, motorcycle rides, coffeeshops, childhood friends-to-lovers romance, and tons of found family feels.

The truth about secrets? They always unravel.

I’m Beau Bodine, and someone’s been keeping one hell of a secret from me.

Mira Sen shows up out of nowhere and drops a bombshell: she’s been raising my daughter—her niece—for the past two and a half years. A daughter I didn’t even know existed. I should be furious, and I am, but Mira’s sister—who recently passed away—had convinced her I didn’t want to have anything to do with my kid.

Mira and my daughter move in with me, and before I know it, we become a family. I fall hard for my little girl. Her aunt has gotten under my skin, too. Our age gap, my history with her sister…none of that seems to matter. I’m in deep and for the first time in my reprobate life, starting to dream of white picket fences.

But when Mira’s conservative and influential parents tell me why they’ve been fighting for custody of their granddaughter, everything falls apart. They show me proof that Mira physically hurt my baby. I don’t hesitate. I tell Mira to get the hell out of my house and my life.

Then the truth comes out, and I know I’ve screwed up. Big time.

By the time I find Mira, she’s broken in ways I couldn’t foresee or even imagine. I know it’s my fault. I’ve got to fix this. But she’s shut down and become someone I barely recognize. Now I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to put her back together again.

If It Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia

Keywords: divorced, next door neighbor, 1990s, autumn, fall, baker, small town, single parent, opposites attract, friends-to-lovers, slow burn, cozy

A love letter to both the autumn months and the late ‘90s. Grab a cozy blanket, light your favorite fall candle, and revisit the autumn of 1997 where there are small town harvest festivals, crunchy leaves, Halloween celebrations, and Thanksgiving pies!

My new next-door neighbor seems to have everything figured out. Small town golden boy? Check. Single dad extraordinaire? Check. Hot baker forearms? I didn’t notice them, I swear.

I, on the other hand, don’t–at all–have anything figured out.

Trust me, I didn’t think taking over my mom’s dream bed and breakfast in Copper Run Vermont was going to be easy. It should be a good place to heal after my divorce. But apparently my scones belong in the garbage with my small talk skills. As pointed out by none other than Cliff.

Cliff is inescapable. He knows exactly what people need–always. His charm, the way he wears flannel, and even his pastries, make not wanting to be friends with Cliff and his daughters pretty hard.

Friends? I can make friends. That’s safe.

Except I’m leaving in three months to pass the inn off to my little sister and get the promotion in Seattle I’ve been working towards.

So ask me why I’m thinking about kissing my hot neighbor.

IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY is a single dad, friends to lovers, small town romance set in autumn 1997. This is a complete stand-alone romance with a happily ever after.
