1. The Marriage Code by Brooke Burroughs

Brooke Burroughs's The Marriage Code has it all: an enemies-to-lovers plot, a heroine in a STEM field, and an Emily in Paris-style relocation subplot that finds the book's central characters moving to Bangalore. At the heart of the story is Emma, who needs to get her coworker Rishi to join her team after she lands the promotion he was passed over for, but in order to convince him to join her, she'll have to write a code to help him please his parents by finding the perfect wife.

Don't let the broody cover fool you; Roommate by Sarina Bowen isn't just steamy, it's also a warm-hearted romance between two men who are total opposites. Kieran is an actual lumberjack who is harboring secrets and guarding his heart. Roderick is a chatty baking enthusiast who is determined to get his roommate to open up, even if it means possibly being kicked out of their shared house — and as you might expect, sparks will definitely fly between these guys, no matter how hard they resist their mutual attraction.
