A Signed Paperback Copy of Hockey & Heartstrings, by Louise Emmerson

He left without a word... now he wants a second chance. Norah Maddon never thought she would see Caleb Sparks again, especially not on their hometown rink after he left to chase his ice hockey dreams, shattering her heart in the process. Thirteen years later, she’s built a quiet life for herself and her daughter, Lena. A life that never involved telling Caleb he’s Lena's father. Caleb’s arrival threatens everything Norah has kept hidden, especially as he has the power, fame, and money to make things difficult for her. As Caleb and Norah navigate old wounds, unfinished business, and the spark that never died, one truth could change everything. Can they rewrite their ending—or is the ice between them too thick to break? Told in dual POV, Hockey and Heartstrings is a secret child, small-town hockey romance full of emotion, redemption, and the kind of love that deserves a second shot.

Signed Paperback Copies of the Rare Breeds Series (3 books), by M.B. Feeney

Ash Kane knows he’s a disappointment to his parents for not going to college. Instead, he splits his time between his band and busking outside a coffee house in Los Angeles. The cute part-time barista is just an added bonus. When he finds out she hates the 90s alt rock he plays on the street, he makes a point of playing even more to get a reaction out of her, and relishes in her distaste. When his band needs a new rehearsal space, they take over Camille Rogers' dad’s disused garage which she isn’t completely unhappy about, even if it means she needs to make more excuses to visit her dad and younger brother. The cute lead singer of the band in the garage is just an added bonus.
