"There's just one problem with having a hot football player for a best friend . . . falling for him.
To everyone else on campus, Lorenzo Rossi is the football star with the promising future. To me, he's the other half of my heart. My source of strength since childhood. Oh yeah, and the only man I've ever loved.
But he doesn't need to know that.
Because Lorenzo isn't just perfection, he's unattainable for a walking disaster like me. Best friends is the best we can do—until the day Lorenzo goes into surgery and comes out saying the words I've spent a lifetime longing to hear . . .
'Just friends' just went out the window. Suddenly I have everything I've ever wanted and one long, steamy summer to enjoy it—warm days under the sun with Lorenzo, hot nights in his bed, and scorching games of truth or dare.
We both know summer can't last forever, but can we? Or will I lose my best friend . . . And lose everything that matters?
Contains mature themes."
"'If there’s one thing my thirteen years of life have taught me, it's that having parents who love you doesn't erase the somebody else who brought you into the world.'
Despite being adopted into a loving family, thirteen-year-old Gloria feels as if her life is a bit too much like the crossword puzzles she and her dad enjoy solving together: too many empty spaces and not enough clues.
For as long as she can remember, Gloria has studied the faces of random women in the hopes of finding her birth mother. But when she finally lands on the perfect candidate, it's in a place she never could have expected—an obituary photo. Determined to learn more about this dead woman who looks just like her, Gloria embarks on a secret mission to fill in the gaps of her origin story.
At first, finding answers about her past feels exactly right. But as the lies Gloria tells keep piling up, and as each step toward her biological family takes her farther from the parents who have loved her forever, she starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to fill her empty spaces. Because how can you feel truly whole when you're shattering from the inside out?"
"For fans of Tessa Bailey comes a steamy debut sports romance following an Olympic downhill skier and the sexy risk-taking ski mountaineer she hires to train her. But when their chemistry threatens to disrupt her carefully planned life, will she stick with her schedule or let her life veer off course?
Kit Schuster has been bombing downhill on skis since she was two-and-a-half, and becoming the most decorated woman on the slopes has made the decade of competing across multiple continents and grueling race schedules worth it. She doesn't look anywhere but straight ahead of her. But a younger rival now has her looking over her shoulder. To solidify her place in history, Kit decides to enter in the newest Olympic event of ski mountaineering, giving her eighteen months to prepare for the 2026 Winter Games in Cortina, Italy.
Asher McClendon grew up dangling from rock faces in Yosemite, and he stuns his followers with daring climbs up the world's most remote peaks before skiing down their steep ridges. He lives for the high-stakes thrills that come with ski mountaineering. When he agrees to coach a legendary alpine skier at his home outside Lake Tahoe, he's more intrigued by the paycheck than the woman. That is, until she arrives to stay in his guest cabin.
Far away from the perfectly groomed ski slopes of European resorts, Kit's routine and laser focus get a major detour—by Asher's training regimen and their growing attraction to each other. Before she realizes it, everything in Kit's life is veering off course. Faced with an insurmountable hurdle and no ski lift in sight, they must both determine what they're willing to risk for love—even if it’s their careers."
"He's the smoking-hot football star. I'm the nerd just trying to graduate. So why does he keep staring at me?

Simple enough—until Cam Forrester looks my way.
I'm not about to get sidetracked by some sexy wide receiver. The last time I trusted a man like him I got burned so bad I still can't shake the dark memories.
But when Cam rescues me from one of the most humiliating moments of my life, I realize this cold, cocky athlete isn't so cold when he's around me.
So when he vows to prove to me he's more than meets the eye . . . well, what girl wouldn't give in? Trust a heartbreaker with my fragile heart? That's a dangerous play. And I'm all in.

"He's a morally gray grump who needs a fake fiancee. She's small town sunshine . . . and the only one he wants.
Simone: I should've said no. Brendan Black is everything I've been warned about—grumpy, controlling, devastating in a suit. But the family farm is days from foreclosure, and his proposal is too good to refuse: pretend to be his fiancée, live in his penthouse, and walk away with enough money to save everything I love.
I can survive the tension. The way he says my name like a command. It's fake. Just a job. Until one real kiss makes pretending impossible . . . and suddenly, I can't pretend anymore.
Brendan: They call me the Black Prince. Heir to Blackguard Holding, until my father demands the impossible. No wife, no CEO crown. So I recruit the perfect fake fiancée: Simone Bishop, the sweet, small-town candy striper who sat by my father's bedside when no one else could stand him.
She's soft, warm, too good for the world I live in. But she needs money. I need her hand. Four months. One address. Zero feelings.
Simple . . . until I start wanting to wreck that perfect hair in my bed every night. Simple . . . until I start wanting her for real.
Contains mature themes."

"Sugar and spice and everything naughty.
A sunless city, a magical boundary, a demon around every corner—what could be better? Nothing, if you ask bright, bubbly Brioni. In fact, being trapped in the demon realm and assigned a letter carrier position might be the best thing that’s ever happened to her, even if she is one of only six humans in the entire town. Except there’s still something missing. Something that makes her feel truly wanted. Something that’s all hers and is maybe a little . . . deviant. The guilt of her past life and the strain of her new one have her seeking relief that she’s sure only the gruffest, grumpiest, growliest demon can give her.
Meet Ragnar—gruff, grumpy, growly, and gray. His magic and color were lost long ago, and with them went his civility. Self–sequestered to the outskirts of his homeland, the city’s resident beastkeeper would much rather spend his time taming ferocious animals than dealing with his fellow demons. Good thing Brioni isn’t a demon because she wants to be dealt with—in fact, she insists."
