Narrated by: Alex Knox and Samantha Brentmoor
Releasing: December 16, 2025
A Small Town, Cowboy, Friends-to-Enemies-to-Lovers, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.
Wren Waterstone isn’t just one of the most decorated equestrians in the world―she was also my best friend for as long as I can remember. Until she wasn’t.
Now she’s back in Rosewood River, and thanks to a temp agency, Wren has been placed at my ranch. I have no intention of allowing my ex-best-friend to work for me, but when I see the desperation in her eyes, I can’t turn her away, even though I know I should.
Old habits die hard.
Seeing her every day is more challenging than I expected. She’s guarded. Wounded. And she looks at me like I’m the enemy. I need to know why. The more time we spend together, the more the lines between past and present blur―and we find our way back to one another. The only problem is, she’s got big dreams to chase.
And I only want to chase her.
I’ve loved this girl my entire life, and our time apart didn’t change that. I let Wren Waterstone get away once. Am I really going to make that mistake again?

Love You, Mean It is LIVE!
From USA Today bestselling author Laura Pavlov comes a story about found family and the power of acceptance, all wrapped up in a sizzling romance set in the frozen north.
My new landlord’s a real hard-ass. And I can’t keep my hands off him.
Charlie Huxley’s the best—and grumpiest—general contractor in Blushing, Alaska. He built the venue for the wedding-planning business my bestie and I share. After I accidentally flood my home, he offers me his guesthouse while he handles the repairs. But when he starts to take charge, I feel myself losing control.
Unable to resist, we casually hook up. We both know once will never be enough.
Between us, we carry plenty of baggage. I’ve got the absent father, drunk mother, and estranged sister. He grew up in foster care and is single-handedly raising a daughter whose mom visits just once a year.
But Charlie makes me feel like I belong. And for the first time ever, I picture myself with a real family.
Before I go all in, I need to learn to set some boundaries. Question is: Am I strong enough?

Love You, Mean It Excerpt
Coming November 4th!
He stood up and turned to face me. The man had to be a good foot taller than me. “I’m guessing it’s just old. I was planning to renovate this place after she moved out, but then you went and flooded your house, so I don’t see that happening anytime soon.”
“Are you insinuating that I flooded my house on purpose?”
“You didn’t turn your water main off when you went out of town.”
This freaking guy.
“I don’t know anyone who turns off their water supply when they go out of town,” I said, my voice coming out much louder than I’d expected it to.
“Everyone I know turns off their water when they travel.” His lips remained in a flat line, as if he was the one who was irritated with me.
“Well, you’re from small-town Alaska, where a local resident is a moose with a giant set of cojones.”
“You got a real thing for dicks and balls, don’t you? Every time I see you, you’re referencing one or the other.” He walked toward the door.
“Calling someone a dick is not really referencing an actual penis. You know that, right?”
He paid me no attention and ignored the comment. “Your tile came in, if you want to stop by your house and check it before they start your primary bathroom renovation tomorrow.”
“Oh. Isn’t it gorgeous?” I’d chosen a beautiful blue Italian tile for the bathroom. Now that I’d been forced to renovate the house, I was going to make it my own.
“I mean, it’s tile.” He made no attempt to hide his sarcasm.
“Spoken like a Neanderthal.” I reached for another pizza roll.
These really are the breakfast of champions.
“I’ll order a new oven. If you need to cook, just come over to the house and use the oven until the new one gets here.”
“Fine.”
“Fine,” he said as he stepped outside. “And let’s not throw things at the ceiling or smash things with a hammer.”
I moved closer, grabbing the door handle and forcing a smile that was obviously not genuine. “Thanks for the helpful tips. See you around, Charles.”
I slammed the door as he turned to walk toward the main house, and I heard him chuckling.
I popped the pizza roll in my mouth and glanced out the window to see him walk across the yard.
He was tall and ridiculously good looking in that rugged, muscly, manly sort of way.
Which irritates me.

Crazy in Love is LIVE!
A Small Town, Billionaire, Enemies to Lovers, Grumpy/Sunshine, Standalone Romance from USA Today and Amazon #1 Bestselling Author, Laura Pavlov.
Emilia Taylor hates me, which is absolutely fine by me, because I don’t particularly care much for her either.
Maybe I took things too far, but I decided she was the enemy a long time ago, and she gave me no reason to think differently.
At least not until recently.
And when she sets her mind to prove me wrong, she goes all in.
I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong—because it sure as hell doesn’t happen very often.
But being vulnerable with a woman who I was convinced was out for my family was a big pill to swallow.
So, I’d rather send her a fancy gift and call this vendetta done.
However, she is anything but predictable.
She doesn’t want a fancy gift from a man who she’s declared a broody, heartless billionaire.
Her words not mine.
And it’s not like you can send flowers to a woman who owns a floral shop.
She wants a sincere apology instead but that may be more than I can give.
She’s sunshine and rainbows, and I’m… well not.
But when the first tear rolls down her cheek, I swear something inside me cracks.
Turns out, my cold jaded heart still works.
Apparently, it beats for the one woman I never saw coming.
**This is book 4 in the Rosewood River Series. Each one can be read as a complete standalone. A HEA is guaranteed!**

Henley Holloway is my boss’s daughter and I’ve been assigned to mentor her.
The problem is, I’m not looking to babysit anyone.
But I’m determined to make partner at the firm, and this is the final obstacle in my way.
So, I agree to take the little princess under my wing.
I’ll work her so hard, she’ll beg me to leave her alone.
But from the first day she walks into the office and spills scalding hot coffee on my chest—I’m
intrigued.
She’s a Harvard grad.
Her work ethic rivals mine.
She’s witty and funny and beautiful all at the same time.
I don’t want to like her.
I have a hard and fast rule about relationships, and I will not break it with my boss’s daughter.
That’s a hard no.
But she’s everywhere I turn, and I can’t seem to get enough.
Weren’t rules meant to be broken anyway?
From the moment we cross the line—I’m done for.
Henley Holloway has seeped her way into my heart, one that I didn’t even know still worked.
But sometimes loving someone isn’t enough.
I’m living proof of that.

Blurb:
My new assistant is all smiles and sunshine—and she’s about to set fire to my cold, grumpy heart.
I've moved to this god-forsaken small town to run the family business.
I need to hire a new PA and the pickings are slim.
Some say my irrational expectations are the reason I've gone through assistants quicker than most people refill their coffee.
Incompetence is my pet peeve.
If that makes me irrational, so be it.
Then Georgia Reynolds walks into my office.
Blonde hair.
Sapphire eyes.
And a smart mouth that irritates me as much as it turns me on.
On top of being a rockstar at her job, she is a ray of freaking sunshine on steroids.
I have no patience for it.
Nor for the way she flutters around the office like a modern-day Tinkerbell.
She has ridiculous taste in music.
Drives an unreasonable form of transportation.
And did I mention that I caught her dancing in my closet when I sent her on a simple errand?
My new assistant has somehow become my kryptonite.
But I am her boss, and I am not going to be a pathetic cliché.
It doesn’t matter that my cold, jaded heart has started beating again.
In my world, a beating heart makes you weak.
And I do not tolerate weaknesses.
