About the books:

LET’S CALL A TRUCE is a sexy contemporary romance about second chances at life and love, bursting with humor and a touch of angst from debut author, Amy Buchanan.

After Juliana's husband dies unexpectedly, leaving her with two grieving kids and a stunted career from years as a stay-at-home mom, she has no choice but to make it work all alone. That is until, on her first day back at work, she overhears her new colleague, the condescending but infuriatingly attractive Ben, talking about how her kids and inexperience are a liability the company can’t afford. This sets off a feud between the two, as Juliana vows to prove him wrong.

Two years later, their feud rages on, but it may be charged with something they aren't willing to admit. When they are forced onto a career-making project together, Juliana has no choice but to call a truce. And, as their lives become more intertwined, the truce quickly turns into something more. Could the man she deemed her nemesis understand her life–her stress and responsibilities–better than anyone? She finds it hard to ignore Ben's perpetual smile and charming determination, and what used to be boardroom-clearing arguments turn into desk-clearing kisses.

But just when Juliana decides to open her heart again, Ben’s past threatens their newfound bliss, and she has to figure out whether this second chance at love is worth it after all.

ONE ON ONE is a workplace, enemies-to-lovers debut for anyone yearning for a courtside romance, perfect for readers of The Hating Game and The Ex-Talk.

Chronic job-hopper Annie Radford needs to stick with her new gig long enough that interviewers stop writing “Flaky?” in the margins of her resume. Unfortunately, that new gig is the last one she wanted: her old position as videographer for her alma mater’s basketball team. Worse, on her first day she learns that layoffs are looming, and she’ll have to outperform her college coworker, Ben Callahan, to make it past the end of the season. He’s annoyingly wholesome, hot, and clinging to a grudge against Annie for abandoning him senior year when she quit her student manager job. They fight to prove themselves indispensable, and to avoid a deadly budget cut, the team has to do no less than win the national championship.

Inconveniently for Ben and Annie, this is a team sport, and they’re on the same side which means spending lots of time together. The team keeps winning, and Annie and Ben strike up a friendship that has potential for so much more. But getting close to Ben means being honest about why she really left the first time, and Annie’s afraid to tell him the truth that the former head coach Maynard—a certified Ardwyn legend—he still idolizes is the reason Annie left basketball back in college.

But they call it March Madness for a reason: Anything can happen on the way to a national championship. If Annie and Ben can find a way to trust one another, they might be able to save both their jobs, win a title, and build something special together. If Annie can only find her voice, she’ll have the opportunity to add it to an article that could put an end to Maynard’s abuses once and for all.

In addition to being funny, romantic and sexy, ONE ON ONE examines the pressure put on college athletes and challenges the sexism as well as the myth-making and idolization of men in sports.

About the authors:

Amy Buchanan’s affair with romance and books started at three, when she watched Beauty and the Beast and couldn’t decide if she was more obsessed with the prince or the library. After decades of devouring love stories written by others, she finally decided to share the ones pinging around in her brain. She writes fun and spicy contemporary romances with relatable heroines, swoonworthy heroes, and loving found families.

She lives in Central Florida with her three littles, two pups, and one husband. On top of writing, she uses her Masters in Higher Education Administration to run a scholarship foundation for first-generation college students. When not working, she trolls travel sites for luxury rentals outside of her travel budget and–poorly–trains for half-marathons.

Jamie Harrow was born and raised at the Jersey Shore. She is a graduate of Harvard Law School and Villanova University and lives in New Jersey with her family. Her debut novel, One on One, was published by Dutton in 2024. Her second book, Fun at Parties, will be released on September 16.
