"A second shot to score your sapphic awakening
Twenty years ago, Eve Archer was the star of her secondary school—funny, popular, and incredible at rugby. She was Ophelia Pendrick's bisexual awakening, but studious, standoffish Ophelia thought she never stood a chance with Eve. And when Eve went on to become a world-famous rugby star, Ophelia could only admire her from afar—not that she would admit to following Eve's social media.
But when a childhood friend's wedding calls them both home, Ophelia isn't the only one stunned. For Eve, finding her way back to her own childhood crush Ophelia Pendrick takes her breath away, and the chemistry between them is palpable. As they navigate the public, damaging past relationships, and Eve's fans trying to get close to her, will Ophelia and Eve get a second shot at forever, or will they lose each other again?
Try Hard is a second-chance, slow-burn celebrity romance featuring childhood crushes, forced proximity, return to hometown, and only one bed."
"When a fun night with an escort ends in a trip to the emergency room . . .
Valarie Sundale needs to unwind. Her best friend, Penny, is worried about her all-work-no-play life balance. Valarie finally lets Penny talk her into a no-strings-attached night with a stranger. And what a fun evening it is, until disaster strikes and she's left with an unconscious escort on her kitchen floor—an escort who soon becomes her new roommate.
Addison Cooks might not remember her past, but luckily, she has a hot stranger named Valarie to help navigate her new reality of living with retrograde amnesia. Working through the sparse information they gather, Valarie and Addison go on an adventure to help Addison remember her past. In doing so, they might just find more than Addison's memories."
"A steamy paranormal YA romance with deadly stakes for a new generation of Twilight and Vampire Academy readers.
A year ago, Rose was in an accident that nearly claimed her life. In the chaos of that night, a mysterious boy pulled her from the brink of death, then vanished before anyone else could see him. No one believes he was there. But Rose knows the truth.
When Rose moves across the country for college, she's expecting a fresh start, one that's not haunted by the memory of this mysterious stranger. But then she sees him: Hayden. He's cold and distant and claims he wasn't there that night. Yet Rose can't shake the pull she feels toward him. She pursues him, daring him to reject her. Daring him to explain himself.
That's when she learns the truth about who-or what-Hayden really is, and that the bond between them goes deeper than the night he saved her life. Fate has woven their paths together, and no matter how hard they fight, it refuses to let them go. But loving Hayden may come at a cost . . . one that could destroy them both."
"A cozy fall romance wrapped in small-town charm reunites the owner of a bed-and-breakfast with her childhood sweetheart for a celebrity matchmaking scheme which has them both seeing stars.
Julia Schaeffer might run the most romantic little bed-and-breakfast in Upstate New York, but as far as that infuriating Ethan Duchamp is concerned, this older, wiser Julia has a strict "no vacancy" policy. Sure, she's teetering on the edge of a financial cliff, and his half-baked plan to pair up his celebrity clients at her inn will undoubtedly be good for business…but how much forced proximity with the man who abandoned her is she supposed to take?
Ethan needs this to work. The dreamy, autumnal-and blissfully secluded-cottage from his childhood summers is the ideal setting for playing matchmaker to Hollywood's next power couple. It's the only way to save his PR career from the tabloid toilet. He knew that the inn and Julia's warm, comforting homemade touch would inspire real feelings-he just didn't expect them to be his. Again.
But as old wounds reopen, and their connection rekindles, Julia and Ethan are forced to confront the truths they've both tried to bury. In a town where nothing stays hidden for long, they'll have to decide if they can rebuild what was lost-or if their second chance will be derailed by scars that have yet to heal."
"The first time I met her, Jacinthe Gauthier-Laframboise was running screaming after an escaped donkey while covered in manure.
It wasn't exactly a meet-cute, but luckily, I'm not looking for a relationship. Dating has been on the backburner ever since life threw a wrench and left me to raise my daughter on my own.
I'm finally finding my feet again, and they've led me to the charming small town of La Cloche. It's the perfect place to grow my business as a farrier and create some stability for me and my kid.
Unfortunately, Jacinthe makes me feel anything but stable. She's a chaotic whirlwind of a woman who doesn't know the meaning of the word quiet, but somehow, I can't get her out of my head. Or my house.
She's my new landlady's daughter, and living on the same farm together means there's no escape: not from her devious dark eyes, her surprising moments of softness, or the way she's cracking open my heart just as fast as she's falling into my fantasies.
Letting her in means risking my new life, but letting her go means giving up what might just be the very best thing in this town.
I've gotten used to making tough choices, but this could be the most impossible one of all."
"Ray:
Rule #1 of almost dying: Make sure someone knows your passwords. It's hard to cancel your phone plan if you're dead. Rule #2 of almost dying: Make sure your house is clean before you walk up the steps to the pearly gates. It makes selling off your life easier.
Back-up plans are for people who plan on losing. All it took was eight seconds for me to win the biggest competition of my life, and one second to lose everything except that championship buckle. I had left my family's cattle ranch at eighteen with no intention of ever coming back for good. Now I was back, stuck in a wheelchair with a beautiful disaster attempting to burn my house down.
Brooke:
Rule #1 of trying to not get fired: Don't piss off the grumpy bull rider. Rule #2 of trying to not get fired: When you do get fired, keep your chin up. The grumpy bull rider was hot.
It was just a little fire. Tiny, even. But that didn't change the fact that Ray Griffith didn't want me anywhere near him. But we came to an agreement: I ignore him, and he doesn't fire me. Easy, right? Not so much when we can't keep our hands off each other.
Contains mature themes."
"Sexy new adult romance meets swashbuckling adventure when ex childhood friends Paige and Seb reconnect to finally track down the treasure that has been a legend in their small Michigan beach town for decades. Perfect for fans of The Goonies and Netflix’s Outer Banks who are craving more romance!
Star pupil Paige Malone just finished her first year at Harvard. Dropout Seb Jansen spent that time pumping gas for wealthy yacht owners at a Lake Michigan marina. They haven’t seen each other since high school. A shame, considering that they were once inseparable childhood friends who combed their coastal hometown’s sun-kissed beaches along with a couple of other middle-school pals—hunting the Golden Venus, a legendary local treasure that’s distantly connected to Paige’s family.
A treasure rumored to be worth millions of dollars. If it even exists.
These days, however, the former BFFs have traded adventure for reality. Paige is home for the summer and is spiraling after losing her college financial aid. While across town, Seb fell in with a bad crowd and now regrets his life choices, big time. Both feel colossally stuck. And alone.
But when Paige stumbles upon a hidden secret in her grandmother’s beach cottage, she must get their old treasure-hunting gang back together to finally unravel the mystery that has eluded her family for generations. Who knows: the thrill of the hunt might help Paige and Seb find a path back to their lost friendship…or something more.
The Summer of Lost Things brings the summer heat with its combination of a high stakes treasure hunt and a swoony love story.

"Six years ago, her brother left me at the altar. I bundled up my veil along with my stupid dreams of a picture-perfect small town life, and I headed back to the city. I vowed to never leave again, but when the promotion of a lifetime at my interior design firm hangs on returning to the charming tourist town of La Cloche, I decide to brave the ghosts of heartbreak past. I never thought I'd be designing for her.
Natalie Sinclair isn't just my ex-fiancé's little sister; she's also the reluctant new owner of the most gorgeous historic home in La Cloche. A mysterious inheritance has left her reeling. On the one hand, the house is the perfect opportunity to make her dream of running an artsy inn with her best friends come true. On the other, her latest art show ended in a disaster she's not sure her confidence or creativity will ever recover from.
If I can convince Natalie to believe in herself, I can lock down the job and get my promotion. I'll just need to remember our lingering glances mean nothing. The way her laugh feels like it's bringing me back to life doesn't matter at all. Neither does my urge to thread my hands in her hair and pull her into a dark corner of the house we're both starting to love. I already fell for a Sinclair. I won't make the same mistake again."

"Weapons are not born, they're made. And a weapon, I have become.
I am the scythe that will cleave the Gods' traitorous heads from their not-so-Divine bodies.
Forced to the dangerous Ortus Island and the very first Mortal Gods Academy, I know that time is running out for both me and the Darkhavens.
If we can't figure out what the Gods are planning and how to stop them, it's no longer just our lives on the line. It's the lives of every Mortal God in existence.
In the world of the Gods, there is only one truth.
Trust no one. Not even your blood.

"People say I live with my head in the clouds.
I don't pay attention, I have zero emotional awareness, and apparently, all I know how to do is avoid. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Now a sophomore at Bensen University, everything feels like it's falling apart. Every moment feels heavy, like I'm floating through a fog. Every deprecating word that's ever been uttered toward me plays on repeat in my head. The only time I feel any kind of relief is when I'm self-medicating.
But then I meet them. My scent matches… who also happen to be my ex-boyfriend's teammates.
Atlas, the prime alpha who's captain of the hockey team.
Kendall, the golden retriever with a cheeky smile.
Uriah, the misunderstood grump.
And Ciro, the beautiful beta that started it all.
The fates are cruel for pairing me up with a pack as perfect as them. They're well-rounded, emotionally intelligent, and somehow seem to know exactly what my Omega wants at all times. I thought it would be hard to let them in, but it's proven even harder to push them away.
But no matter how good things get, there's always someone waiting to push me off my pedestal… and I'm not sure if my new pack can catch me.
