"Emily Ross thought her life was falling into place after her honeymoon with Jack—until they arrive home to find an uninvited guest at their door. Evelyn Ross, her mother-in-law, has shown up unannounced from Seattle, and her arrival quickly upends Emily's world.
Yet, something feels off.
Though Jack's relationship with his mother is clearly strained, Emily can't piece together what caused the rift. With a dark agenda of her own, Emily wants Evelyn gone—but so does Jack.
What are they both hiding?
As buried secrets come to light and Emily's grip on reality starts to unravel, she must uncover the truth about Jack and Evelyn before everything falls apart—her marriage, her sanity, and maybe even her life.
For fans of Verity and Don’t Let Her Stay, this psychological thriller will keep you on edge until the final twist."
"Hudson: My coach wants me to take figure skating lessons so I can gracefully pivot around the net. That's a whole lot of hockey hooey if you ask me. Making matters worse, the class is with my sister's best friend, who I'm convinced hates me after what happened back in high school.
Leah: It's no secret that I'm looking for my very own hockey hero for a happily ever after. When my parents invite my best friend's brother to their anniversary party, they attempt to arrange our marriage. My life goal is not with the goalie, thank you very much.
Hudson: We're faced with something of a Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet reversal—she said it's her favorite, so I read it. Since she's totally over me and I shouldn't be interested in her, I set her up on a few dates that go sideways, which does not help me shake these newfound feelings.
Leah: As we spend more time together I can't escape the scent of evergreens. Could I still be pining? My family has zero boundaries, and it turns out we don't either because when his lips land on mine, a decade's worth of fireworks explodes between us.
Hate to love might work in romance, but in real life, never. Then why can't we stay away from each other?"
"Liam: I don't know what I'm doing. I have no idea where this kid came from. I mean, I know that part, but when he showed up on my doorstep, not only did I have to put everything on hold, but my hockey coach threw me into the sin bin.
Jess: I'm a certified wreck, then I meet the guy who I think is my prince. On our wedding day, he leaves me at the altar. This means I'm headed back home to my small town and into Granny Dolly's meddling arms.
Liam: I'm drowning in potty training, team commitments, and legal documents. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep my newfound father status secret.
Jess: I get a job helping the Big Bad Wolf. Yet, somehow, I don't get bit. Except by his son.
Liam: I was all about that loner life, but when my money-grubbing ex attempts to ruin me, I propose a marriage of convenience to my assistant.
Jess: I need a favor that comes in the size and shape of my boss, so when he suggests we get married, I have to remind myself that it's not real. Nor are my feelings for him. Probably. Maybe a little. Like crumb-sized.
Between lingering looks, arguments over the toothpaste cap, and tingly moments, will this grumpy sunshine pair let love bloom?"
"I’m what people call a charmer. Maybe it’s the drawl, maybe it’s the dimples, or maybe it’s the entire ex–Special Forces package. Either way, I’ve never met a woman I haven’t been able to sweep off their feet … until Mallory Monroe. The only female on our team, she’s all fierce words, brave actions, and impenetrable walls around her heart. She’s also the only girl I’ve ever loved.
After burying my feelings for over a decade, I’m not surprised I dream of waking up married to her. Except, it isn’t a dream; the certificate claiming we’re husband and wife is real, and neither of us remembers a thing. Dream come true or not, I never wanted this. Not when my new bride looks horrified, accuses me like our situation is my fault, and demands we “fix it.”
But while I’d do almost anything for her—including taking a bullet for her, again—leaving her, in any sense of the word, isn’t one of those things. And when Mallory makes no move to annul our secret marriage, even months later, I decide to test the waters by attempting to date my wife."
"Madeline Sage has entirely lost who she is after her brother and best friend's passing. She's an aunt taking care of their two kids, a nursing student, and a part-time cleaner at a ski lodge. Spending a majority of her time helping someone else, she's astray from who she was before the accident. Her nagging mother, incapable of helping with the kids, insists the one thing missing from Madeline's hectic life is a man. So Madeline seeks help from the most chaotic one she knows: her nephew's coach. In hopes of easing her mother's nerves about providing for the kids, Madeline needs a boyfriend. Even if it's a fake one.
Unfortunately, Cooper Graves knows all too well what he is. In an attempt to rectify his disorderly past and save his family ski lodge, he agrees to be interviewed by a well-known family magazine. The article will bring the lodge plenty of new exposure on its upcoming winter events. All he's missing is a wife and kids.
Madeline needs a fake boyfriend. Cooper needs a fake family. Their newfound friendship quickly blurs into something entirely real. Only he's not fit for 'uncle-hood', and she can't find a place in her heart or her schedule to add one more person to her circle of loved ones. Snowed under their complications, Madeline and Cooper are destined to find out if love is enough to overcome tragedies of the past."

"Clean water, paved roads, public transit, electricity and gas, sewers, waste processing, telecommunication, even the Internet—all this infrastructure is what makes cities work and powers our lives, often seamlessly and silently. Virtually everything we do and consume depends on infrastructure. Yet, most people have no idea how these systems work. How is water treated? How do cities manage rainwater? Why do traffic jams exist? How is electricity generated and distributed? What happens to trash after it is picked up? How does the Internet work?
In The Infrastructure Book, world-renowned urban engineering expert Sybil Derrible reveals the behind-the-scenes machinations of the foundational systems that make our societies function. Visiting sixteen cities around the world and their unique approaches to organizational challenges—from water distribution in Hong Kong to waste management in Tokyo, and from Chicago's power grid to low Earth orbit satellites in space—this book uses case studies and historical detours to show how infrastructure works—and, sometimes, doesn't.
With large-scale infrastructure repairs looming and the need for existing infrastructure to be transformed, the book also shows how infrastructure can be more sustainable and resilient. After The Infrastructure Book, listeners will never look at a city the same way."
