"High school can be Hell. Especially when you grow up in a small town where everyone knows your business and you can't avoid the gossip about your past. That's why, as soon as she graduated, Reagan Murphy moved to New York City to start again. Now in her junior year at NYU and with her childhood firmly positioned in the rearview mirror, the future looks limitless. But when she unexpectedly runs into the one person responsible for the misery of her high school years, will she keep running or will she stick around long enough for a second chance?
Allison Hoge, statuesque and beautiful, made sure she remained at the top of the social pyramid, even if it meant stepping on a few heads to get there. But even she had her own secrets to evade after graduation. College can change a person—it can be a new start—an opportunity for reinvention. So when she unexpectedly runs into the one person for whom she made high school especially miserable, will history repeat itself or has she changed enough to be given a second chance?"
"The spotlight's never been hotter, and neither has their love.
Lex Bennet didn't plan on falling for Eva Montgomery—her fiercest collegiate basketball rival, turned teammate, turned secret girlfriend. Now, with the cameras off and the season over, they finally have a shot at something real. For once, Lex isn't chasing wins. She's chasing a future.
But being in love with one of the most recognizable faces in women's sports means there's no such thing as off-the-clock. Eva's rising star draws endorsements, headlines, and pressure Lex never expected. When the pair signs on to a new, high-profile basketball league in Miami, the glare of fame only intensifies—and so do the cracks in their bond. And just when Lex starts to wonder if their love can survive life in the spotlight, a devastating injury threatens to upend everything.
Suddenly, it's not just about whether Lex and Eva can go the distance—but whether they're strong enough to hold on when everything around them begins to fall apart."
"Cold Case detective Cassidy Miller is no stranger to buried things—bodies, secrets, and memories she'd rather forget. Life with her fiancée, the brilliant but guarded defense attorney Julia Desjardin, is the closest thing she's felt to peace. But as Julia begins the emotional process of fertility treatments, Cassidy finds herself caught between wanting a future and fearing she doesn't deserve one.
When hidden graves are unearthed at a long-abandoned public housing site, Cassidy is pulled into a case fraught with redlining, corruption, and systemic injustice. As the investigation deepens, so does the scrutiny—from the media, from city officials, and from an ex-girlfriend who's back in town and crossing every boundary.
Caught between a past she's tried to forget and a future she's unsure she can have, Cassidy must confront hard truths. Because not everything buried stays that way. And the future she wants won't wait forever."
"When a devastating injury threatens Lex Bennet's dream of playing in the women's professional basketball league, her world is turned upside down. Despite the setback, Lex is unexpectedly drafted by the new expansion team in Boston. Her jubilation is short-lived, however, when she finds herself on the same roster as Eva Montgomery, her college rival and the woman responsible for her injury.
Once adversaries on the court, Lex and Eva must navigate their new dynamic as teammates. As they confront their past and strive to find common ground, unresolved emotions and an undeniable attraction simmer between them, becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
For Eva, the pressure of professional sports is compounded by her struggle with coming out. Her evolving relationship with Lex—from fierce adversaries to something more complicated—adds layers of tension and uncertainty.
Can they overcome their past and build a future together? With the scrutiny of fame threatening to expose their relationship, will Eva find the courage to embrace a future with Lex? And will Lex's support be enough to guide them toward happiness?
Old rivals, new teammates—will their unresolved past lead to love or disaster?"
"In 1984, Danika Laroque, a young indigenous woman, was reported missing. The investigation went cold not long after. Decades later, a true crime podcaster starts poking around, bringing the missing persons case to the attention of Cassidy Miller. But how do you resolve a case with no crime scene, no evidence, and no body?
Back in the Twin Cities after Julia's father's funeral, Cassidy is hoping for some good luck romantically, or at least a break. It's starting to feel like her relationship with Julia has been defined by overcoming one obstacle after the next. Between rehoming Julia's mom, a new job at a high-profile criminal defense firm, and baby fever, Cassidy worries there might not be room for her in Julia's life. But more importantly, with Julia being pulled in so many directions, is whatever's left over enough to make Cassidy happy?"
"William Desjardin was dead: the victim of an interrupted home burglary, according to the police. Cassidy returns to Embarrass with Julia to support her with the funeral details, rehoming Julia's mother, and settling the Desjardin estate. For Cassidy, being back in the small, northern Minnesotan town has brought back a number of good memories—most starring Julia herself. But it's also triggered some memories she'd rather leave buried. And when an unexpected life insurance policy implicates Julia in her father's death, the short visit turns into much more than a trip down memory lane."
"Most stories have a beginning, middle, and end. But when you work in the Cold Case division, you come to the realization that not every story has a tidy conclusion and not every story starts at the beginning.
One little question. Cold Case Detective Cassidy Miller is beginning to feel more comfortable in her new career path. She has a close-knit group of friends and a drop-dead gorgeous girlfriend. Living together has been easier than either of them could have ever expected. But will one little question ruin everything she and Julia have built?
One little secret. A young woman is found in an abandoned car with a bullet in her gut. Cassidy and the rest of the Cold Case division must team up with Homicide to bring the girl's killer to justice. But nothing is ever that easy."
"Former Marine Cassidy Miller knew what it took to be a good soldier and even a decent beat cop. She was starting to figure out how to be a girlfriend as her relationship with Julia Desjardin progressed, but what did she know about being a cold case detective?
Buried under paperwork in the basement of the Fourth Police Precinct, she was going to have to figure it out. An unidentified Jane Doe, an unusual poison, and a decade passing since the murder wasn't going to make it easy on her. Plus a call in the middle of the night reminds her that as much as she might want to move on from her time in the military, some things would always keep dragging her back."
"From bestselling sapphic romance author, Eliza Lentzski, a story about taking chances and love after loss.
At this stage in her life, June St. Clare never imagined she'd be starting all over again—a new job, a new city, a new love? Looking for a fresh start after tragedy, June finds herself the unexpected owner of Lark Estates—a micro winery in the heart of Napa Valley. There, June is determined to learn the business and do her best, even if she's convinced that her assistant winemaker, the beautiful but elusive Lucia Santiago, wants to see her fail.
Lucia Santiago grew up on vineyards, almost like a grapevine herself, working her way up from cellar rat to assistant winemaker. When the property where she works is suddenly sold to a woman with no prior experience, she can't help but feel resentful of the winery's lovely but inexperienced new owner. It's too bad June's helplessness is almost endearing, stirring up emotions Lucia didn't quite expect.
Don't miss Sour Grapes—a slow-burn sapphic romance from Eliza Lentzski."
"The challenge was supposed to be simple. Spill a drink on an airline passenger and be one square closer to winning the company's secret bingo card game. Twenty-five different challenges, at various levels of difficulty, had to be accomplished within a month's time. After nearly eight years of being a flight attendant, Alice Kaminski had spilled drinks on plenty of passengers, mostly on accident and during rough air. She didn't particularly like the idea of the bingo card, but she had massive student debt; the financial incentives were enough to make her momentarily forget the questionable ethics of it all. The challenge was supposed to be simple—that is, until Alice saw her intended target—the beautiful woman seated in 3B. And after that, nothing was simple ever again."
