I met Ian Pope—ex-boybander, fresh from rehab. I thought I could save him, but maybe I’m the one who needs saving... if he stays when truth hits.

Saving Ian Pope by Carol Ericson

So, I met a former boybander&mdash;no, not the one with the soaring solo career, the one fresh out of rehab. I know what you're thinking, but I can save him. I know I can because you see, we have this thing. Only problem is I think I might need saving more than he does... I may be a romance author, spinning tales of love, but I write romantic suspense, so, yeah, I have a dark side. Ian Pope, internationally famous and hot AF, doesn&rsquo;t see this dark side, and I&rsquo;m going to do everything in my power to hide it from him, including accepting a shady proposal from his manager. Problem is, the more time I spend with Ian, the more I realize he&rsquo;s one of the good guys. His faith in me has convinced me to take matters into my own hands and confront my past once and for all. But will the popstar stand by me when the truth comes to light? Or will I gain my dignity and lose everything else?

Woman plans, God laughs&mdash;Welcome to my life! My dream college internship is set! I&rsquo;m packed and ready to become a master gardener&mdash;until the program, along with my high hopes, was canceled. &ldquo;Not to worry," my mentor says. "We have another great opportunity&mdash;on a farm.&rdquo; Really? I didn&rsquo;t spend the last three years killing myself to milk cows! This disaster is causing my OCD to rage. If I have to pivot one more time, my head will explode. But milking cows is the least of my worries, it&rsquo;s the man I&rsquo;ll be working with that will be my demise.

What if you had no memory of already falling for the stranger you just met? When Owen Jameson meets the (very inebriated) woman of his dreams at a Melbourne art-show afterparty, he thinks he's found his Forever. But he wakes up the next day in her hotel room all alone with nothing but blurry memories and a pathetic, aching heart.

Six months later, fate brings them together once more when Owen discovers the enigmatic beauty is a rising star at MERAHPUTIH&mdash;the prestigious art gallery his grandmother co-founded in Jakarta, Indonesia.
&nbsp;
As Srinaya Matthews immerses herself in curating a major exhibition, she can't ignore the magnetic pull she feels towards Owen, MERAHPUTIH&rsquo;s legacy director and esteemed benefactor. Despite his claims that they've never met, there's something undeniably familiar about him, and Naya finds herself tempted to break all her professional rules for a chance at love.
&nbsp;
But with whispers of her past threatening to tarnish her reputation, and the weight of Owen's titles looming over them, Naya must decide if she's willing to risk everything for a romance with the Golden God of MERAHPUTIH.

On top of this, Sam&rsquo;s faltering relationship with Ross Carrington, Green Meadow&rsquo;s newest volunteer and the man of her dreams, is more stop than start.
 Green Meadow holds a special place in Sam&rsquo;s heart and she is as dedicated to its survival as she is to sparking romance between her and Ross.

But, with her campaign efforts falling short of the funds the hospice desperately needs, and Ross&rsquo; mixed signals leaving her in a constant state of confusion, she isn&rsquo;t sure any of her endeavours will succeed.
 Sam's going to need the support of her friends, family, and the community she's always found in the hospice, and can only hope that it's enough.
