Physical Education
Physical Education
by Juniper Hardy
by Juniper Hardy
Nora Marsh is failing anatomy.
It isn't for lack of trying, but four hundred pages of Latin names for things she can't touch might as well be written in smoke. Three weeks to the midterm, her roommate hands her a phone number and a plan: Jennie Calloway. Kinesiology major. Two floors down.
Jennie turns out to be a six-foot-one rugby forward, with copper hair, ruined knuckles, and a sourdough starter she talks to like a pet. She's also the first person who's ever looked at Nora like she was more than just her body.
Nora insists she isn't interested in women that way, but as her anatomy lessons get more intimate, she finds it harder to convince herself of that.

meet the author
Juniper Hardy is a Midwestern romance author who writes the sapphic and transgender love stories she sought but couldn't always find. Big feelings, real heat, hard-won happy endings. She keeps a tropical drink within reach that the weather rarely justifies, an ever-growing pile of half-finished projects, and a to-be-read stack she's made her peace with never reaching the bottom of.

One Bed, All Summer
by Sasha Mercer
Claire
My aunt Dot left me half her lake house and left the other half to Ben Foster. That's fine. I close deals for a living. The property taxes are going to skyrocket, the township bans short-term rentals, and we have one summer to fix the place up and sell it before I'm on a plane back to New York after Labor Day. The only thing Dot didn't plan for was the bed. There's one. It's ancient, and it sags straight to the middle, so every morning I wake up rolled against the man I've called my friend for eighteen years. So I did what I always do and wrote terms on the whiteboard. Summer job. No strings. Completion 9/7. No warranty. Ben said okay. Ben always says okay. The problem is the way he looks at me when he says it, like he already knows how this deal ends and he's waiting for me to catch up.
Ben
I've been in love with Claire Morgan since I was sixteen. My first summer at Dot's, she beat me in the dock jump and came out of the water laughing at me, and that was it. On the sandbar, three years later, she swam away from me and I let her go. I've been holding still ever since. Now she's back, sleeping next to me in Dot's bed and writing rules on the refrigerator as if a whiteboard could hold back fifteen years. I'll sand the floors. I'll rebuild the dock. I'll stay on my side of the bed for as long as she needs me to, but the whole town has a betting pool on us and my own mother bought in. Every day I don't tell her is a day closer to watching her leave. I've got one summer. This time, I don't know if holding still is going to be enough.
One Bed, All Summer is an explicit, open door missed-chance, friends-to-lovers, forced-proximity romance set on a lake in northern Michigan. It comes with a meddling small town placing bets, a found family that shows up to help and raise eyebrows, and a sagging bed that knows where they really belong. If you love yearning that finally catches fire, a hero who has waited fifteen years, a heroine who thinks she can put her feelings on a schedule, and a HEA, pack your swimsuit. This summer is going to be a hot one!
