The Girl Most Likely by Alberta author Donna Alward, an f/m contemporary friends-to-lovers business entepreneurship romance. This appears to be newly-written, and Alward is a current Harlequin and Samhain Retro Romance author who's had some of her books from them officially freebied, and IIRC is a favourite author of at least one of the members here.
No one wants to take a risk on The Girl Most Likely To Have Fun…except the one person in the world she’d rather not ask.
Katie Buick dreams of opening her own niche restaurant, but finding a financial backer for a reformed party girl is proving impossible. Until she makes a final desperate plea to Ric Emerson, former geek and high school friend turned successful businessman. Too bad they haven’t spoken since she humiliated him before their prom. The last thing she expects is for him to say yes, or for him to have made such a complete transformation from old friend to heartthrob. But she learned the hard way that nothing good comes from mixing business with pleasure.
Ric knows Katie’s idea is brilliant, and with his business acumen and her work ethic, they’re sure to be a success. Building the business brings Ric and Katie closer together. Chemistry still simmers between them, blurring the lines between personal and professional despite their best intentions. Ric trusts Katie to make their business a success, but can he trust her with his heart a second time?

Attitude by BC author EC Sheedy, an f/m contemporary makeover romance novella. Sheedy is a former Zebra author who also writes under the pseudonym Carole Dean.
So many men... So many mistakes. One woman out to improve her odds.
Ginger Cameron does a makeover. No more thigh-hugging minis, mile high stilettos, or come-ons to guys who aren't into relationships for the long haul. She's going beige, revirginalizing (her word), and making a fresh start in her business and love life. Men? Out of the picture. Sidelined. For two freakin' years.
Then she meets...him; Cal Beaumann, all sex, easy smiles, and short-term thinking. Ginger's new attitude and armor-plated wardrobe are about to get tested—to the max
A short romance. Sexy but not burning. (Except for the hero, of course.)
