Blurb:

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a slow-burn, mistaken-identity romance about hidden fame, second chances at life, and the woman who accidentally falls for a rockstar in disguise.

I plan other people’s love stories for a living. Perfect nights. Perfect moments. Perfect control.

So when my guitarist cancels an hour before a high-profile event, I do what any professional would do—panic quietly and pray for a miracle.

Then he walks in.

Late. Soaked from the rain. Incredibly handsome. Unapologetically charming.

A man I absolutely shouldn’t notice.

He plays music like the storm outside taught him how to feel.

He saves the night. And without meaning to, he starts unraveling mine.

I don’t know that he’s a world-famous musician in hiding.

I only know that when he looks at me, the world stops spinning.

I build love stories for other people. It’s chaotic, but it’s always strategic, straight-forward.

But this time, the one falling—hard, fast, and completely unplanned—is me.

There’s no seating chart that can contain, or explain, the storm that is Dexter Vaughn. But maybe his humor, guitars, and big heart are exactly what I need to build my own breathtaking love story.

This was an enjoyable, heartfelt, and emotional read. It explores vulnerabilities, the downside of fame, love, beautiful friendships, coping with addiction, and staying sober in difficult times. The chemistry between Alyssa and Dexter is palpable and beautiful, and Alyssa is a breath of fresh air. Unexpected changes in life and love that bring the best of both worlds are portrayed in a way that feels real and relatable. Although we are not usually fans of Rockstar romance, this author has become one of our favorites, and we read everything she writes. She did not disappoint with this book, as she skillfully immerses us in the world of the characters and makes us fall in love with them.

Meet Renee Harless:

Renee Harless is a USA TODAY bestselling author with an affinity for wine and a passion for telling a good story. 

Renee Harless, her husband, and children live in Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. She studied Communication, specifically Public Relations, at Radford University.

Growing up, Renee always found a way to pursue her creativity. It began by watching endless runs of White Christmas - yes, even in the summer – and learning every word and dance from the movie.

After marrying the man of her dreams and moving from her hometown, she sought out a different artistic outlet – writing.

To say that Renee is a romance addict would be an understatement. When she isn’t chasing her kids around the house, working her day job, or writing, she jumps headfirst into a romance novel.

Lark Carrington came to Coral Bell Cove for a fresh start. A fading inn, a quiet life, and a chance to rebuild something steady after everything she’s lost. She didn’t expect her first real connection to come in the middle of chaos.

Holt Wright is used to being underestimated—long before he ever put on a uniform. The easygoing one. The goofball. The brother no one expected much from. Until he became a firefighter. Now, when the alarm sounds, he’s the one people trust when it matters most.

The one who shows up.

The one who stays.

Even for her.

What begins as a single moment—smoke, heat, and the steady presence of the man who pulled her back from the edge—turns into something neither of them can ignore. Long days restoring the Carrington Inn. Late nights that feel a little too honest. A connection that builds slowly… and burns deeper than either of them expected.

Because Lark doesn’t trust easily. And Holt is still learning what it means to be the man people finally believe in.

And when the past Lark tried to outrun starts to catch up with her… they’ll have to decide if this is just a spark—or something worth risking everything for.

At First Spark is a tender, slow-burning small-town romance about healing, showing up, and discovering that sometimes the person who saves you… is the one you choose to stay for.

I thoroughly enjoyed the slow-burning romance between Lark and Holt. The characters were well-developed, and the added suspense to the plot kept me engaged. From the moment I met Holt, I was immediately drawn to his genuine, kind, loving, and flirtatious. nature. His protective and helpful demeanour, along with the unwavering support and love from his family, made him a truly endearing character. His willingness to show vulnerability only made me admire him more. Lark, on the other hand, took some time to warm up to. Her guarded nature was understandable once her backstory was revealed, and her journey to opening up to others, especially with the help of a small and fuzzy companion, was heartwarming. The dynamic between Holt and Lark, with the push and pull in their relationship, added depth to the story. Holt knew when to gently push Lark out of her comfort zone and when to give her space. The progression of the romance between the couple was sweet and heartwarming, showcasing growth, healing, trust-building, and the formation of a found family. The supporting characters, especially Holt's family, provided a comforting presence for Lark and added a sense of warmth to the story. Lark's friend Nolan remained a mysterious figure, keeping me intrigued with his motives. The suspense and mystery elements in the plot kept me guessing and added an exciting twist to the story. Overall, I found the plot engaging, hopeful, and delightful. I am eagerly anticipating the next release in this series.

Blurb:

She’s here to expose hockey’s biggest flaws. He’s the complication she never planned on. Neither one is prepared for the sparks that fly every time they collide.

Juno Paxton has built her award-winning documentary career dismantling institutions people blindly worship. Her latest assignment is her most high-profile yet: immerse herself in the league’s newest hockey expansion team—the Portland Wildfire—for an entire season and create a behind-the-scenes film the league can parade around as “authentic.”

Juno doesn’t buy it. Not the hype, not the hero worship, and definitely not the polished personas of pro athletes. She expects egos, theatrics, and plenty of manufactured grit.

What she doesn’t expect is Crosby Hale.

The Wildfire’s starting goalie is stoic, meticulously focused, and infuriatingly camera-shy. He wants nothing to do with her film, her questions, or her insistence that he “show some personality.” Unfortunately for him, the league wants Juno’s documentary to center on the enigmatic goaltender who refuses to cooperate.

But the more time Juno spends with Crosby, the more she glimpses the steady, thoughtful man beneath his guarded exterior. He isn’t the stereotype she’s built her name exposing—he’s better. The more she learns about him, the harder it becomes to keep her documentary, and her heart, objective. And for Crosby, letting Juno in feels less like a mistake and more like the beginning of something worth fighting for.

Warm, witty, and unexpectedly emotional, CROSBY launches the Portland Wildfire series with a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance between a skeptical filmmaker and the goalie determined to stay out of her spotlight… until she becomes the one thing he can’t turn away from.

He broke her heart to save her future. Ten years later, she's the one who saves his son.

Austin "Sprog" Mitchell made the hardest choice of his life at seventeen. He staged the worst moment Savannah could imagine, put her on the road to medical school, and told himself it was the right thing to do. He's spent a decade trying to believe it.

Now Savannah's back in town, back in her own surgery, and Austin's eight-year-old son EJ has just been brought through her door with a bullet in him.
