Pocket Full of Posies
Daisy Rosenfeld isn't like all the other non-humans in town, she's a half-breed. Half nymph, half human. Which means her magic doesn't work as well as the others, leaving her true form exposed for everyone to see. She's become a bit of a loner and introvert, rarely venturing into town unless absolutely necessary. She likes her quiet life tending to her flowers and greenhouse, providing the town of Snowberry with its flora and fauna needs. Everything in her life is quiet and predictable. That is until the autumn equinox celebration when a surprise visitor throws her routine into playful chaos.Kai Kingsley has zero to little expectations for the autumn equinox celebration his mother is forcing him to attend in a small town that doesn't even have a five-star hotel for him to stay at, and absolutely nothing fun to do. He's even less happy about the event when he discovers his mother's hidden agenda to force him into a mate bond with some unknown female.Determined not to allow his family's outdated beliefs on keeping their nymph bloodline "pure" to guide his life, Kai seeks out a way to avoid a forced bonding, only to stumble upon the answer in the woods talking to a sprite. Daisy is not what he expected nor planned on but she's the answer to his prayers. The fact that she's beautiful, sweet, and unintentionally funny doesn't hurt either.Falling for the devilishly handsome and smart mouthed nymph wasn't how Daisy thought she would be spending the equinox, but when Kai makes his way under her skin and into her heart she can't resist. But can Kai avoid his meddling family while feeling something more than friendly attraction for Daisy or will his carefully crafted plan come crashing down on him?

Payal Mehta's Romance Revenge Plot
This laugh-out-loud debut romance introduces perfectly imperfect Payal Mehta, whose plan to get her longtime crush to finally notice her is destined for success, but only if she ignores her budding feelings for her archnemesis... Payal Mehta has had a crush on popular, athletic, all-around perfect Jonathan Slate ever since he smiled at her in freshman-year Spanish class. At a party during spring break of her junior year, Payal finally works up the courage to ask Jon to hang out. However, her romantic plans are derailed when he vomits on her Keds. Twice. But when Jon offers to take her out to lunch as an apology, Payal is convinced this is the start of their love story. Over chalupas and burritos at Taco Bell, Payal's best jokes are landing as planned. Jon is basically choking on his Coke--and then it happens. "Do you have a boyfriend?" Payal is (finally) about to get the guy. And then he tries to set her up with his Indian friend. Payal's best friends, Neil Patel and Divya Bhatt, are just as mad about the microagression as Payal is, but they think she's a little too hung up on him. Determined to teach Jon a lesson by making him fall for her, Payal ropes in her archnemesis, Philip Kim, to help. It's the perfect plan. Minus Philip's snarky, annoying quips and lack of faith in its success. But as Payal lies to the people she loves, hides the too-Indian parts of herself in front of her crush, and learns that maybe Philip isn't the worst, she starts to wonder if what she's been looking for has been scowling at her all along...
