Curbside Pickup Where We Belong: Mia used to own a bakery, but when the pandemic hit, she lost her business. Now she’s delivering curbside pickup orders at the local big box store. She doesn’t know much about Connor except that he’s a single dad who always tips well. Once or twice a week, she loads up the back of his Subaru with groceries. Sometimes, she even sneaks in a container of Clorox wipes on the house. But Mia doesn’t realize that Connor fell for her the first time he saw her holding a reusable grocery bag. It turns out Mia hasn’t only been filling up his trunk; she’s been filling up his heart.

Six Feet Away From Heaven: Deanna and Levi meet in the coronavirus testing line on New Year’s Eve, and the chemistry is palpable even with social distancing. The good news is that they both test negative. The bad news is that when they try to kiss at midnight, an angel who looks suspiciously like Dr. Anthony Fauci appears in a lab coat to interrupt them. Worse yet, this angel of epidemiology won’t go away until Deanna and Levi promise to stay apart. Can the spark stay alive until a vaccine arrives?

My Heart Is At Capacity: Bethany is a barista in Pacific Northwest who can’t help but notice how often law student Laurel comes into her cozy independent coffee shop to study. They’re soon having long conversations about the future over oat milk lattes. Then a cold-hearted health inspector arrives one day and shuts down the shop for violating indoor capacity limits. Bethany must focus on paying her fine, and Laurel must focus on passing the bar. A year passes before they meet again. And this time, neither masks nor the State Department of Health are anywhere in sight.

The Unmasked Man: Becca’s a thoughtful twenty-nine-year-old teacher who believes in masks and phone banked for Biden. Joel is a a thirty-four-year-old freelance blogger who thinks condoms are a feminist plot to steal his sperm and birth antifa babies. Yet neither can forget the other after meeting at a local dog park. She opens up to him by revealing just how much student loan debt she has, and he returns the favor by telling her just how much he wants to kidnap the governor. Can they overcome their differences before the FBI comes calling?

A Shot at Love: Jessica is a single mother of twins who works the night shift in the chaotic COVID-19 ward. She often clashes with Dr. Damien, a hotshot physician with an Ivy League degree, an ego to match, and no evidence of a last name. They’re both scheduled to get one of the first vaccines. But when the truck arrives, there are fewer doses than expected. Only Jessica or Dr. Damien can get a shot this time. Each one sets out to convince the other that they deserve it more. Before long, sparks are flying, and they’re both afraid that not even N-95 respirators can hide how they really feel.
