Khorram's new novel, It Had to Be Him, is a swoony, spicy, second-chance romance about two former classmates unexpectedly reuniting in Italy. Ramin Yazdani's marriage proposal has just gone bottoms up: his ex dumped him in public for being boring. Bent on proving him wrong, Ramin books a spontaneous solo trip to Italy. When he runs into his high school crush while in a gelateria, however, his resolve to reinvent himself is put to the test. Noah Bartlett’s in a rut. Since his divorce, he's become a bit of a homebody. Soon Ramin and Noah are tumbling headfirst into a relationship. With the days counting down to the end of their trip, can their love last without the magic of Italy?

In Julian Winters' adult rom com debut, I Think They Love You, sometimes fake dating your ex can turn into a second chance. When Denzel “Denz” Carter’s workaholic father and CEO of 24 Carter Gold unexpectedly announces his retirement, the competition is on for who will become his successor. To convince his family members that he’s capable of commitment, Denz needs to find a fake boyfriend and is forced to turn to the last person he wants to be in a pretend (or any) relationship with: Braylon, the man who broke his heart. Braylon’s sudden reappearance in Denz’s life turns everything upside down. But, apparently, he needs Denz’s connections to the mayor to win his own promotion. So, they strike a deal. It’s all business until the funny texts and the confusing kisses leave Denz struggling to separate this temporary arrangement from the affairs of his heart.
