“Notes About Vodka” by Tandy Lauralin
LAURA never thought she’d break free from the trailer park she grew up in, let alone survive two spine surgeries and a failing marriage by the age of 23. Now, juggling a second shot at college and playing piano at a bar by night, she dreams of becoming a doctor—if life will finally let her breathe. VALEЯEY—or Val—is a 26-year-old Russian mixologist with an expired visa, a talent for crafting the perfect cocktail, and a heart that longs for home. Stuck between his past and an uncertain future, he dreams of opening his own restaurant while figuring out how to reunite with his family. When Laura and Val meet at Pianissimo, their connection is instant—sharp-witted banter, stolen glances, and late-night napkin notes ignite something neither expected.

Laura’s acceptance into a prestigious medical internship in another state and Val’s battle to legalize his immigration status threaten to tear them apart. In a desperate gamble, they marry, believing love will be enough to conquer the odds. But love, no matter how fierce, is never easy. Will Laura and Val defy the forces pulling them apart, or will their love story end before it’s truly had a chance to begin? ***WARNING*** This love story comes with a HEA Hangover that begins and ends with a cliffhanger!

“The Last Time" by Heather Kirchhoff
We were happy and in love–or so I thought. I never knew he was struggling. We had a good relationship--we were planning on getting married and starting a family after high school. We were supposed to go to college together. But Ryan had other plans, apparently. The shock of his death haunts me. Memories threaten to suffocate me every time I turn around as our future disappears. I found comfort in someone I never expected to. He sees I'm struggling. He knows how much Ryan meant to me, which is why I can't allow him too close. Yet, the more time we spend together, the more I yearn for his company. This loss is as big for him as it is for me, yet he doesn’t hesitate to put me first. His support is what gets me through the day. I don’t know when the lines blurred. I should be pushing him away, right? Instead, I want to pull him closer.
I'm hiding a secret, though. One that may change everything between us…
