A STROKE OF LUCK Hazel Yen would love to be that person who doesn't believe in bad luck. But having lost her job, her mom, her optimism, and even her dim-sum leftovers, she's sitting in a fortune teller's booth, desperate for a sign-any sign-that her luck might change. Which is when fate crashes into her, disguised as Logan Wells and his utterly chaotic cat.
Except after one spontaneous and mind-melting kiss, Hazel's terrible misfortune starts taking a turn for the miraculous. Money problems vanish. A new job lands in her lap. And she's crushing-hard-on the guy who started it all. Only there's a problem: Logan's luck has taken a turn for the worse. A shared lottery ticket could be just the answer they're seeking or a disaster waiting to happen. Has Hazel's fortune truly changed? And if so, could winning at life mean losing at love?

"Not Another Love Song meets You Between the Lines in this swoony, slow burn romance about a struggling composer whose big break comes at a cost-working side-by-side with her college nemesis."
"When a God falls for her sacrifice, can their love survive in this lush, haunting reimagining of the myth Iphigenia and Artemis, sure to enchant readers of Katee Robert and Rebecca Kinney!
Iphigenia Pelops lives to serve her family. It is her responsibility and privilege as the Heir, as well as the only safeguard against the family curse. So when Artemis, queen of the Court of the Wild, demands a sacrifice in exchange for her blessing in a dangerous power struggle, Iphigenia is the natural choice.
However, Artemis is horrified that Iphigenia's family, and not Iphigenia herself, made the final decision. As recompense, she takes Iphigenia under her wing and teaches her the ways of the hunt-and soon, the ways of the body, as feelings blossom between them.
But can their bond survive the weight of the Pelops curse?

"In Shattered Dreams, Montgavin Township will never be the same when one fateful night changes the lives of six people and sets them on a collision course for disaster, the first in Natasha Madison’s brilliant Dream series.
Charlie
It was supposed to be a regular day out. Three couples celebrating the last days of summer. When tragedy struck.
I thought I was going to marry her. Instead, I was burying her.
I blamed the world for my pain. I buried it all. I became a man I didn’t even recognize.
Autumn
In a blink of an eye, everything changed. My best friend was gone, and I was responsible for it. I may not have been driving the truck, but I didn’t stop it.
Escaping the town was the only thing I could do to survive the guilt. I thought I was strong enough to go back. I was wrong.
One look from him and I knew I wasn’t welcome. But this is my home, and I wanted to come back. One night turned into more. But at the end of the day, I know he’ll never love me.
Besides, we all have shattered dreams."

"FLYNN: I've never taken relationships seriously because I’ve never met anyone worth being serious for. I don't love them and leave them, but no-strings-hookup might as well be my middle name. Getting dared to kiss a gorgeous stranger with eyes like the ocean and hair like a cloud sounds like a surefire way to add another name to the list of men I've taken to bed, but before the night is over, I'll be proven wrong for the first time in my life. Rose Baker isn't like any man I've ever met before and one kiss—one night—in a hotel with him isn't anywhere close to enough. I want him again and I'm ready to break all my rules to get him.
ROSE: My best friend swears the easiest way to get over my cheating ex is to get under the gorgeous, arrogant, and dominant man who held me up against the wall at Rapture and kissed me until I forgot my name. But Flynn doesn't do serious, and I'm too scared to put my heart out there for something that won't last. Our lives are different and there's no way around it, but Flynn is focused, he's dedicated, and he's not willing to walk away from the things he wants. And right now, he wants me. Flynn is ready to go all in with me, but am I strong enough to admit that I deserve his praise and attention or am I going to sabotage myself and lose his love for good?

"Jackson
Dreams collapse in the blink of an eye, I know that better than anyone after losing my career as an athlete. Now I spend my days giving people pleasure for pay and playing with stocks. Most of my friends have settled in Clay Springs, Florida. A sleepy little town that moves slower than molasses. Call it boredom or infatuation with the redhead who scowls at me every time I smile his way, but I think there's also something special for me in Clay Springs. If only Harper would let me show him.
Harper
If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that most people suck. Not in the fun way either. All my cousins are settling down with their boyfriends and I've got my service dog and a brain disorder. Cool. When Jackson shows interest in me, I figure it has to be a joke. But the big guy wants to be my friend. Then he wants to date me. And now . . . well now I'm in too deep and it's only a matter of time until he leaves. After all, I'm always too much or too little, never just enough.

"Rosemary: Locked away in the King's City and forced into a dreamless sleep where even my wife can't reach me, my hope is quickly wilting. When help arrives, we're forced into a strange alliance, working alongside our enemies. Together, we might be able to overthrow Lollishire's monarchy and restore the peace.
But I feel the constant pull of the Hartwood, calling me to set the forest free. And I'm learning there are more powerful forces than greedy kings and manipulative queens trying to keep Carabosse from me.
I never meant to fall for the wraith, but now that she's mine, I refuse to give her up that easily. I'll defy the Goddesses themselves to reforge our destiny.
Carabosse: A single mistake I made over twenty years ago still keeps me from what I want more than anything—to be the one who gives my mate everything. I'll have to settle for ensuring her safety, no matter what it costs me.
But even when I'm losing myself to the darkness, I can sense my wife.
My little witch might be the only one who can bring me back to the light.

"Three men. One woman. When danger and desire collide.
They thrive off the thrill of the chase, unapologetic in their pursuit to always hit their mark—or get their woman. Businessmen by day, hitmen by night, these frat brothers live, work, and kill together. They're dangerous, raw, and too ruthless for their best friend's little sister, who should be off-limits to them, especially with an enemy who is always circulating in their orbit. They could get her killed if they aren't careful. Yet, one by one, they each get sucked deeper into her intoxicating web as the morally gray lines begin to blur and they realize that the only way to move forward is to succumb to their desires . . . and share her.
Resort tycoon Titan Valentine is a merciless, beautiful monster in a tailored suit who dances the thin line between power and danger. Santari Lake mistook his quiet commanding presence for survival, but she didn't realize she'd become the flame he aches to be consumed by. Every time he holds back, it's not mercy . . . it's foreplay. And when she finally offers her submission, he loses the hold on his control completely.

Professor Storm Windermere is as intelligent as he is meticulous. But behind those wise eyes and that sly smirk is a man with an obsession wound so tight, it could snap. He doesn't resist Santari Lake because he doesn't crave her, but because he's not sure he can trust her with his innermost desires. When he finally lets her in, it won't be love. It'll be all-consuming devotion . . . and destruction.

"I thought my one-night stand with a hot older guy was just a rebound, but it left me with a memento that could ruin my life . . . or perfect it?
My whole life, I've been the perfect daughter: perfect hair, perfect body, perfect grades, perfect career. Of course my mother would choose the perfect fiancé for me! Thank God I wised up in time and dumped the jerk, but maybe I shouldn't have jumped into bed with the first hottie who winked at me.
But how was I supposed to resist? Yeah, he's an orc, and he's muscled and tatted and definitely the take-charge kind of guy. Little did I realize, when I snuck out of his bed, that he'd left me with a present.
Now I'm pregnant and hiding from my mistakes with my sister on Eastshore Isle, worried that I've ruined my perfect life . . . and I come face-to-face with Giza again.
When fate—or more accurately, my meddling little sister—throw us together, I'm hard-pressed to maintain the I can do it all myself attitude I've kept up my entire life, especially with the way Giza is so desperate for the chance to know his child. And the more time I spend with him, the more I come to suspect . . . I don't always have to be perfect.
