When a one-night stand, a fake relationship, and a demonic cat aren’t enough of a challenge—just add a pandemic. Sportswriter Katie McIntyre thinks star pitcher Jason Price will be the perfect fling to help her forget her cheating ex. Their hook-up is supposed to end with breakfast. But the coronavirus has other plans. When Katie unexpectedly becomes her grandmother’s full-time caretaker, the disoriented elderly woman thinks Jason is Katie’s devoted beau. Katie pitches a pretend relationship to the star athlete. Jason knocks the fake-boyfriend ball out of the park. Before long, their increasingly real alliance is tested by disastrous cooking, adult-themed donuts, and a hairless, irascible cat. And COVID quarantine has a way of magnifying one small secret (Katie’s) and one tiny lie (Jason’s). The harder this pair falls, the greater the risk of those hidden truths. If your heartstrings have been tugged by the feel-good rom-coms Beach Read, Well Met, or The Friend Zone, then pull up a chair, because The C Word is the perfect romantic comedy escape for you.

When a holiday romance, falling for your boss, and a reality TV show aren’t enough of a challenge—just add a pandemic! Personal assistant Jen Parker is eager to start her new job on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, supporting Noah "The Casanova Cook" Ryder, a temperamental chef who is judging a blockbuster television cooking show. But Jen, a widow, has a secret mission at the beach—a personal, emotional goal she must accomplish by Christmas Eve. Noah is famous for seducing a starlet every new season. But with Home Cook America filming during a coronavirus quarantine, the Restaurant Romeo is off his game. The stress of lockdown—not to mention his own long-held secret—has Noah struggling to launch his make-it-or-break-it newest restaurant. And that's before his longtime business partner turns into his worst frenemy (or is that just a plain enemy?) Soon, Jen and Noah's budding attraction is tested by vegan Thanksgiving, the world's ugliest charm bracelet, and a possessed elevator. Every passing day—and night—ups the ante on their secret pasts. But if this culinary couple can't stand the heat, there's no way out of their COVID-locked-down kitchen!

As the reluctant mayor of Black Duck, the calm, reserved mountain man has a town to protect from invading corporate interests. Emily’s boss ratchets up the pressure, and she must tame her outgoing, emotional nature. At the same time, Liam must force himself out of his shell to protect all he loves. Soon, Emily and Liam’s attraction burns as hot as their arguments over the future of Black Duck. Emily is comically out of place in Black Duck. Liam is equally at odds with life in Washington, DC. How can these star-crossed lovers remain true to themselves and the people who depend on them when they can’t even agree on what to eat for dinner?
