Dating (Murphy)

Caroline Abbott loves her job-helping engaged couples pick out the perfect save-the-date cards and invitations for their dream wedding. Working at Noteworthy means she has to deal with the occasional bridezilla, but Caroline's always up for the challenge. Until one particular bridezilla walks into the stationery store whose fiancé happens to be the boy Caroline shared her first kiss with. Alexander Wilder is all grown up now, helping run his family's successful luxury hotel chain, and is somehow even better looking than she remembers. When Caroline just happens to catch Alex's fiancée half naked with another man, well, of course she has to tell Alex. Of course, he breaks off his engagement. And of course, the ex-bridezilla has gone completely bonkers. At least Caroline has her friends to save her from crazy ex-fiancées. But she also has the sudden interest of ... Alex? Caroline knows they share a connection, but is he on the rebound? Or after seeing her all these years later, does he really want something more? Pure fun-A romantic comedy that's perfect for a day at the beach!

Working at Bliss, Sarah Harrison deals with all sorts of ... interesting clientele. Yet no one sparks her interest more than Jared Gaines, the ultra-rich, ultra-sexy businessman who frequents her shop, buying delicate little "gifts" for the women in his life. But one day, Jared sends Sarah a gift from Bliss. Then another-and another. So when Sarah walks into his office demanding to know why, he makes her an offer she somehow can't refuse: be his fake girlfriend for the weekend while attending his brother's engagement party. The next thing Sarah knows, she's in San Francisco pretending to be in love with Jared. Not that it's a hardship. Once you get the man away from the office, he's much more relaxed. Sweet. Funny. Even ... thoughtful? Oh, and sexier than ever, of course. Their pretend relationship feels very real, very quickly. Soon Sarah's in over her head. Could what she and Jared share turn into something real? Or is it all actually ... fake?

Candice Gaines loves Christmas. Not only does she bask in the twinkling lights, sing Christmas carols, and go crazy with the decorations, she's also in the giving spirit-donating much of her time and wealth to various charities in the local area. Charlie Sullivan despises Christmas. Though it keeps his family afloat, considering they own Sullivan Family Christmas Tree Farm, the main provider for Christmas trees on the Monterey Peninsula. He'd much rather work among the trees than have to deal with people. But Charlie's parents are taking on more philanthropic projects-and as their oldest child, they want him to be their official public representative. He just has to play nice, and convince everyone he's not a total holiday hater. When Charlie's mom asks Candice to accompany him to a variety of holiday parties and events, she reluctantly agrees. She thinks Charlie is a big ol' Grinch, but is determined to change his mindset and help him spread Christmas cheer. Charlie finds Candice is too chatty, too sweet, too much. Do people like her really exist? Why yes, yes they do. The more time they spend together-along with a few kisses under the mistletoe-the more they start to like each other. Hopefully Charlie can convince Candice he doesn't have a heart that's two sizes too small before the ball drops on New Year's Eve.

Stella Ricci is bored. Her overprotective family barely let her out of their sight, despite the fact she's a grown woman. Yes, she loves her job at her family's café and she's the best barista in the entire Monterey Peninsula, but is that enough? She's thinking no. But what else can she do? Enter Carter Abbott. Burnt out after the never-ending grind of selling high-end real estate in Los Angeles, he's returned home, unsure of what to do next. He needs someplace to crash temporarily until he gets back on his feet. It's easy for Stella to suggest Carter move in. Temporarily of course. It'll give her someone to talk to. The only problem? That one night stand Stella and Carter had about a year ago. They never talked about it. They still don't really talk about it. Despite the fact that the old chemistry has come back full force. Living together has made that obvious. Should they admit that one night wasn't enough? Or will dating each other turn into an epic fail? Only one way to find out...

Eleanor Murray is tired. Tired of going on awkward dates. Tired of meeting men who just aren't that into her. Tired of being set up on blind dates by her well-meaning friends. She is a believer of true love, of finding that happily ever after, and she wants it. She deserves it. But at the rate she's going, she's pretty sure it's never going to happen. Until a friend creates a profile for Eleanor on a new dating app. At first, she's reluctant. Dating apps aren't the way to finding true love, are they? But then she makes a connection on Rate a Date, and this gorgeous, confident guy almost seems too good to be true... Mitch Anderson has a secret. He's just moved to Las Vegas for his high-profile job and after years of playing the field, he's looking for a serious relationship. He wants to find a woman who likes him for who he is, not what he does. Meeting Eleanor on the dating app, he's intrigued. Meeting her in real life while she's in town for a bachelorette weekend, he completely falls for her. Now he's in way over his head. Their chemistry is combustible. They can't keep their hands off each other. But will Eleanor forgive him when she finds out who he really is?

Kelsey Phillips is over the dating scene. All that time and energy perfecting your profile and taking just the right picture and articulating exactly what you're looking for, only to get the same sleazy propositions? No thanks. She's doing just fine on her own, so there's no point in a fruitless hunt for "the one" that doesn't exist. Besides, she already has the perfect man in her life. Theo is the type of friend who's always there for a laugh, a hug, or a drink-and no propositions. So when he somehow manages to agree to be a groomsman in his ex-fiancée's wedding to his cousin, the least Kelsey can do is be his date. But why stop at doing the least? Pretending to be in a relationship is easy. They already know everything about each other. And it sure isn't hard to fake attraction to a guy as gorgeous as Theo. Soon enough, the only pretense left is that they haven't fallen for each other for real... and the very small matter of the secret Kelsey's been keeping. Can a fake relationship survive this real revelation?

Amelia Lee is in desperate need of a change. Finally free from her controlling ex-boyfriend, she's not looking to date someone new, even though all of her friends are encouraging her to do exactly that. One in particular believes she's found the perfect guy for Amelia. So she sets her up on a blind date. At a wedding. Amelia has no idea the guy she bumped into at her friend's Christmas tree farm is the same one she's been set up with at a wedding reception. Isaac Jones is a nice guy. A good looking guy. A much younger guy. No way could they be compatible-they have nothing in common. The more time Amelia spends with Isaac though, the more she realizes he just might be perfect for her. He makes her laugh. He's a complete gentleman. And they're definitely compatible between the sheets... But is he only the rebound guy? Or can they actually make this newfound romance work?
