We are excited to share that we are participating in the indie bookstore pre-order for Amy Briggs special edition of Offside!

Each Pre-Order comes with a signed bookplate, bookmark, and sticker sheet (shown above). The special edition has full color interior and edges!

Book Description:

Ryan Lindqvist was supposed to lead the team

Not fall for his best friend’s sister

After years as one of the NHL’s most dependable players, he’s drafted to the Phoenix Sidewinders-an expansion team in a city that wants hockey back... but isn’t convinced it won’t get burned again. Now he’s wearing the C, leading a locker room half full of strangers, and carrying the weight of a second chance no one believes will last.

The one thing keeping him motivated?

Griffin Callahan. Best friend. Teammate. Goalie. The only guy who actually wanted to be here.

Which is exactly why Ryan should stay far away from Griffin’s little sister.

Maren Callahan is a physical therapist, a Scottsdale native, and completely off-limits. She’s sharp, grounded, and sees through Ryan’s captain façade like it’s nothing. Worse, she’s everywhere-and every moment with her chips away at the control he’s built his life on.

It starts small.

A look.

A touch.

Something neither of them can ignore.

Ryan knows what this could cost him-his best friend, his team, the fragile trust of a city already waiting for them to fail.

Maren knows what it feels like to be someone’s secret-and she won’t do it again.

But the closer they get, the harder it is to walk away.

And when the truth comes out, Ryan won’t just lose Griffin.

He might lose everything.

Offside is a spicy contemporary hockey romance featuring a Swedish-American captain with a filthy mouth, a heroine who refuses to be anyone’s secret, and a protective older brother who sees everything.

MWB Book Pick of the Week is from Tiffany Burns and is The Kings of Kearny by Navessa Allen

“A dark motorcycle romance that is high stakes, steamy, and has a little suspense. I was hooked by the end of the first chapter. Krista is a military veteran and just moved into this small town with her grandmother. Her grandmother’s nursing home has had some illegal activity in their mist. Krista gets involved with Jakob, a dangerous brooding man, who is a member of the Kings motorcycle club, and decides to help Krista investigate and get to the bottom of the town’s secrets.”

It’s the MWB Book of the Week and this week’s pick comes from Jacob and is In Stormy Weather by Chelsea Curto!

“This was my first read by Chelsea Curto and omg where has she been all my life??? Quincy and Sebastian might be one of my favorite couples of all time! The rivals to lovers’ aspect in this was done perfectly and oh my god THE YEARNING?? Sebastian and that slutty chain, I’m dead. This was the first book in a while where when I wasn’t reading all I thought about was the next time I can pick it back up. If I could put a song to this book I would put
“Thunderstruck” by AC/DC. You may think this is just a basic song choice but there’s a certain scene where it makes perfect sense ;D From my understanding this is a standalone but God I hope not I need more of these characters.”

“It seems unbelievable that an entire year has passed since I opened the doors of Miss Willa’s Bookshop and made a dream of owning a bookstore become a reality.

Miss Willa’s marks our first year with not just celebration but also expansion and we cannot wait for you all to find your next favorite romance book in our Queen’s Garden section of the bookstore, coming this September for our inaugural Willa Ever After festival.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible people who believed in this dream alongside me. To Malissa and the amazing in-store staff—Jacob, Caroline, Luisa, and Tiffany and offline support Jen and Vonetta, and all the volunteers— thank you for the passion, kindness, and care you bring every single day. To the team at Constructive Solutions, in particular Matt Prints and Tyler Dehaven, thank you for bringing (and continuing to bring) my vision to life. To the City of Charles Town and Jefferson County, thank you for your support and for helping make this little bookstore a part of our community. And to every reader, who has walked through our doors—thank you for choosing us and sharing your love of books with us.“ -JLA

Staff Picks: Book of the Week

We’re starting a new series where each week a staff member picks their book of the week and gives a little review/recommendation!

This week is Caroline’s pick, Dearly Departed by Chip Pons!

“This book absolutely captured my heart. I am a fan of any retelling, and this one felt so fresh!
Hades...I mean Hayden is in “retirement” from being a god and instead runs a funeral home.
He is grumpy and standoff-ish. His exact opposite, Levi, runs the local flower shop.
After an encounter following Levi’s adjustment of a flower order, these two end up in the most perfect enemies to lovers situation. This story was peak grumpy/ sunshine, balancing themes of love, loss, and grief with IMMACULATE spice. Let me tell you, Hayden has shadows and knows how to use them. This book is perfect for people who love snark, spice, and a whole lot of heart.”
