Worst in Show
by Anna E. Collins, William Bee
Best in Show meets You’ve Got Mail in this rivals-to-lovers romcom following a woman ready to do whatever it takes to save her grandpa’s shop—even if that means training a wild pup for a dog show, side-by-side with her greatest rival.
Aspiring fashion designer Cora Lewis should have known better. Entering her grandpa’s extremely adorable—and totally unruly—pups in a dog show? What was she thinking? Oh, right. Her grandpa is injured, his beloved pet shop is losing the fight against the upscale dog boutique across the street, and his business and home are on the line. She needs that prize money to save the day—and if the only way to win is to train with her strongest adversary, then she’ll suck it up and ask for help.
Rival store owner Leo Salinger is everything Cora is not: successful, wealthy, and overly ambitious. She would never guess that he is also the kind and witty pen pal she's met on a local message board. But somewhere between teaching pups to heel, fetch, and stay, Cora and Leo are finding a little competition can ignite a serious attraction. Can they stop this sexy spark . . . before all her dreams go to the dogs?

Finding Mr. July
"Disillusioned ex-attorney Holly King has taken an unpaid internship at an international environmental non-profit where she has to compete at fundraising to win a dream job. She decides to create a calendar with fit guys and their dogs, convinced it will sell like hotcakes. Not as convinced is Jonathan Summers, the surly in-house creative tasked with helping her realize her vision. Once he was an award-winning photographer traveling the world, now he tweaks website images and has been on a no-fly list since a 'misunderstanding' five years ago. Collaborating on a cheesy calendar full of buff guys is beneath him, except he has no choice if he wants to keep paying his bills. But as the photo shoots start, they begin to see new sides of each other. Holly slowly eases up on her all-work-no-play MO, and Jonathan comes alive behind the camera. During model recruitment, canine misadventures, an accidental one-night stand, and through the camera's view finder, the two fall for each other a little more each day. But trouble brews as the end of the project nears. If Jonathan helps Holly win, she'll leave the country. And if Holly chooses Jonathan over the new job, she'll have no choice but to fall back on her old, soul-crushing career. As they go about finding an elusive Mr. July for the calendar, Holly may have to choose between the fresh start she desperately wants and love"--
