A Groom of One's Own by Emma St. Clair
Also part of the Appies Series. (Seriously, just read them all.)
Eli is about to be deported due to a administrative error. Being the golden retriever that he is, Eli would do the right thing...except it could cost him his career. Though he's single, there is one woman who Eli could easily imagine asking to marry him. Except, they've never actually spoken before. You guys, this one was sooo cute! This is possibly my favorite of the entire Appies series.

As You Ice It by Emma St. Clair
Appies again. Just accept that it's amazing. They are an instant buy for me at this point.
This is a sweet second chance romance with a single mom and the man she let get away in the hopes of saving herself and her son the heartache that was surely to come. Throw in her son as a matchmaker, forced proximity, and a sizzling hockey player willing to do what it takes to win her trust and you've got the makings of a fantastic story.
