From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes the next installment of the Silver Springs series, All I Know, a small town, ex-fiancé’s brother, billionaire romance set in Montana.
I never thought I’d be that girl. The one standing at the front of the room, explaining to a church full of people that the groom isn’t showing up.
Did I mention I’m the bride?
Yeah. Zero stars. Do not recommend.
The kicker is I’m not even all that sad. Humiliated, yes. But I didn’t really love Chad, and my family didn’t like him at all. So it’s not exactly a huge loss.
We still have one heck of a party at the reception, though. And one of the men who twirls me around the floor—a tall, handsome stranger giving pure alpha male vibes—turns out to be none other than Shane Kincaid. Chad’s brother. The one man I should not be interested in at this party. And yet, he’s the one who, when all is said and done at the end of the night, makes sure I’m okay.
And that’s how it begins.
But we couldn’t be more different.
I’m a small-town interior decorator in Montana, trying to navigate a body that feels like it’s constantly fighting against me, and Shane is a high-powered billionaire based in New York City, conquering the world one real estate deal at a time. The distance between us sucks, but it’s sweetened with songs and photos and late-night phone calls.
Until finally, he’s here. Permanently. Or at least according to him.
But with all my baggage—his brother ditching me at the altar being the least of it—will we be able to find our way? Or are we doomed from the start?
I’ve been secretly texting my brother’s best friend for two years, and I knew the first time that we’d crossed a line we couldn’t uncross.
It isn’t the first secret Fowler Briggs and I shared.
When my father turned me away at sixteen, Fowler drove three hours to get me and never told a soul. That night, I promised myself no one would ever get close enough to hurt me again.
Fowler was safe. He was a thousand miles away, on the other end of two years’ worth of Saturday night calls.
Until the life I’d built in Nashville started closing in, and I did what I do best—I ran.
Now I’m working behind Fowler’s bar, sleeping in his spare room, and discovering he’s a lot harder to keep at a distance when he’s right down the hall.
He’s not supposed to see straight through me. Or make staying feel easy. And he definitely isn’t supposed to become the one man I can’t walk away from.
I always run. We both know that.
The problem is, I can’t stop wondering what would happen if, for once, I didn’t.
If I stayed.

She saved the kingdom. Her soul will pay the price.
Newly crowned Queen of Serentyn, Lexa Andrever should be celebrating victory. Instead, she’s consumed by her failure to fully unleash Starfire. Now, with her mate, Griff, called to the border, Lexa’s only hope of understanding the elusive magic lies with Serentyn’s Master of Histories, Griff’s twin.
All the while, Cythraul—that ancient force of darkness—is laughing from afar…
From dusty tomes to cryptic clues left by unlikely sources, Lexa stumbles toward the key to a power few fully grasp. And, as she clings to snatches of precious time with Griff, Lexa begins to fear what is coming.
Because when Cythraul strikes, he won’t come for the kingdom. He’ll come for Lexa. Body, power…and soul.
Starfire’s Vow is the second book in The Soul of Serentyn trilogy—perfect for romantasy fans who love fated mates, found family, and on-page passion.

The magic continues and the stakes have never been higher in the stunning seventh book in the #1 bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series.
What was lost will be reclaimed.
Prythian might never be the same again. Traditional alliances are crumbling, and no amount of diplomacy seems sufficient to repair them. With the continued threat of Koschei the Deathless on the horizon, a united front is crucial--and farther out of reach than it has ever been before.
Bonds will be tested. Power will shift. And old enemies will emerge from nightmares of the past.
As the Night Court's Inner Circle disperses far and wide, desperate for any advantage against Koschei and his mighty allies, peace hangs by a fragile thread. But hope can be spun from the darkest of shadows, and the Night Court has its own part to play in the looming crescendo.
The first book in the seductive and dangerous Shadows of Pemberly series where love, like a curse, demands surrender.
Jane Austen's novels are not romances, they are a warning. Her poisoned pen exposed the arrogance and greed of British high society, even as she cursed them for it.
Julianna Whitcombe is thrust into an unholy alliance with the icy and dangerous Lord Victor Tilney. Bound by duty and desperate to save her family from scandal, she finds herself trapped within the crumbling walls of Northanger Abbey, where the shadows seem alive with menace.
As her wedding day looms, the abbey’s eerie halls become a battlefield for Julianna's sanity. Her wedding gown is found slashed to ribbons. Poison creeps into the food, and an attempt on her life sends her tumbling down the grand staircase. The whispers of the staff grow louder, murmuring of a bridal curse that taints the Tilney legacy and of the twisted darkness behind Victor’s wealth and power. Julianna's every step is watched, her every move manipulated, and it becomes chillingly clear: someone doesn’t want this marriage to happen.
But the greatest danger may come from Victor himself, as his obsession with Julianna blurs the line between protection and possession. As she unravels the truth, she must decide: Is Victor her captor—or her savior?
Dark, seductive, and laced with peril, Ashes of Austen will leave readers breathless as love battles the forces of vengeance and a deadly curse that may destroy them both.
Hardcover
Hidden pasts, a fae realm on the brink of destruction, and passions born of hatred converge in blockbuster author Sophia St. Germain's brand-new, dark dystopian, fated-mates, enemies-to-lovers romantasy series for readers of Carissa Broadbent, Alex Aster, and Danielle L. Jensen.
He wants her head. She'll settle for his soul.
Once Jordeina was a beautiful island, and Azaleah Oakgards its crown princess. Since the coup and her family's murders, she's a fugitive cursed to bring disaster in her wake. Firestorms rage, plants wither, rivers run dry, and only her death can stop the world from burning until nothing but ash remains. Without a soul to anchor her, Azaleah has clawed her way to survival for centuries, and now, finally, she can reclaim it before the end of the world leaves her locked in a prison between realms.
She'll change her face, shift her scent, and trick the usurper king into claiming her as his mate. At his side, Azaleah will not only break his soul but his spirit, unmaking the Ruin King until only the hollow husk of a man remains.
Marlow Swarzwolds is a tyrant, a killer, and a brute, but no fool. He knows his entrancing mate's compliments and obedience are lies. Only when he baits her does she show the ruthlessness that ignites him. But what she's hiding--and why--is just one more answer he can't afford to chase as Jordeina collapses and the soul he's tied to their dying lands perishes with it.
How do you break the soul of a man who's seen everything? Can Azaleah find a way to hide that her own is missing? And what happens when the collision of two royals burns hotter than the scorching world they're trying to survive in?
A Fate Inked in Blood meets Fourth Wing in this stunning romantic fantasy duology by New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis.
Emelya’s village considers her bad luck. Not even the dingiest fishing boat will allow her on board, turning her island home into a prison. After spotting a ship in danger nearby, Emelya risks her life to save the crew…and then takes the opportunity to jump aboard and seize a chance at adventure.
But she soon learns she didn’t just join the crew of a ship—she joined their quest to find a legendary colossal dragon. Smaller, tamer dragons may exist everywhere (heating forges, creating fair winds for fishing ships, and acting as pets and beasts of burden) but this is the the kind of fantastical beast that turns men into heroes. It sounds impossible, and the further north the ship sails, the more they battle storms and monsters from the icy depths. Captain Anders is determined to protect the crew at all costs, but Prince Erik is leading the mission, and he will settle for nothing less than a legendary dragon.
He has good reason. Erik’s only chance at saving the realm is to take the crown for himself—and the only way to do that is to prove that the gods have chosen him with the blessing of a dragon of legend. Only a few radicals think the wild dragons are still alive. Only the prince believes he can find one of the colossal monsters in the icy sea. But not a single person expected the dragon to bond with Emelya instead of the prince...or what fire that one stunning twist of fate would rain upon them all.

Set against the backdrop of a generations-deep blood feud in rural Colorado, Wildblood is a thunderclap of a novel—gritty, sensual, and emotionally explosive. What begins as a forbidden romance between Holt Montgomery and Matilda Blackspur on the banks of Murder Creek spirals into a decades-spanning story of trauma, resilience, redemption, and the high cost of love in a town where family loyalty can become a death sentence.
Six years after a deadly confrontation leaves Holt wounded and Tillie's brother dead, the two are thrust back into the same small town, broken in different ways. Holt, now a grizzled bull rider trying to redeem his career and legacy, is haunted by both trauma and desire. Matilda, a newly widowed doctor and mother, returns with her son seeking safety but finds that her past isn’t as buried as she’d hoped. The chemistry between them simmers beneath every glance, as the story careens toward reckoning—not just with each other, but with the town that tried to destroy them.
Are you ready for the longest ride?
Turning thirty was nothing like the movies promised. I wasn’t flirty, thriving, or whatever else Hollywood lied about—at least not where it counted.
While I was a successful marketing executive, climbing the corporate ladder faster than anyone else in my department, my love life was a ghost town. When all my friends and colleagues started marrying and settling down, I realized it was time to take matters into my own hands.
So, I built a romance bucket list. A highly organized, color-coded checklist designed for finding true love. Things were finally calm at work, which meant now was the perfect time to focus on me.
Unfortunately, the universe had other plans.
The chaos started when my assistant went on maternity leave and never came back. Things only got worse when her replacement walked in, and a very familiar pair of green eyes glared back at me.
Nox had played many roles in my life over the years, but "friendly" was never one of them. He’d resented me ever since I beat him out for the promotion we’d both wanted. Now, I didn’t just have to work with him—I was his boss.
Nox never did anything the easy way, though. Coloring outside the lines was what he did best, and his favorite hobby was pushing my buttons every single chance he got.
So when he found my secret romance bucket list, I braced for ruthless mockery. Instead, he surprised me with an offer to help me complete it.
I knew better than to trust a rival who wanted my job, but suddenly, my foolproof plans were out the window—and I was starting to see Nox in a whole new light.

Die Well, Rise Stronger.
Every phoenix gets seven deaths. The Academy requires four. The math should be simple. It isn’t.
They told us power was a gift. They lied.
At Stygian Academy, phoenix-bound students are trained to master their flame or be consumed by it. Lives are treated like currency. Death is temporary. Obedience is mandatory. The motto: Die Well, Rise Stronger.
Survival depends on precision, discipline, and knowing your place.
I fail at all three.
My awakening doesn’t match any known phoenix lineage. My fire doesn’t behave. It contaminates everything it touches, consuming in ways that shouldn’t be possible. And it’s drawing attention from the one force I can’t afford to notice me: The Inquisition.
They assigned their most ruthless enforcer to break me, a man forged by the very system I came here to destroy. His role is simple: force compliance or burn me out entirely. He is discipline. He is control. He is everything the Academy stands for.
And he’s starting to see what I really am.
As secrets buried beneath Stygian begin to surface, the Academy’s carefully maintained order fractures. Alliances blur. Sides must be chosen.
They think the contamination in my blood threatens the phoenix race.
They have no idea.
Now I have to choose: submit to the system that murdered my mother, or risk everything to burn Stygian Academy to ash.
To win their game, I must become what they fear. I must master the flames that brand me monster. I must learn to die.
Stygian Academy: Die Well, the first book in the Stygian Academy series, plunges you into a world where death is currency, fire is identity, and the line between monster and savior burns away with every resurrection. Perfect for fans of Fourth Wing, Zodiac Academy, and Noctadia.

Every memory he recovers brings Merit closer to the truth—and to her sister.
Neither woman knows they’ve both been following the same voice. When they finally collide, the sisters will have to face what they’ve done to each other and agree on who gets to walk away.

From the acclaimed author of the western romance Homebound, two rival killers with hundreds of missions under their belts face their hardest assignment yet: marriage.
For these rivals, the chemistry is lethal.
Sabrina and Lawton go together as well as Dom Perignon and Frito pie. They have nothing in common--except for the fact that they unalive people for a living. Sabrina's a clever, Manhattan darling with a penchant for poison-tipped manicures. Lawton is a reckless, down-and-dirty cowboy who isn't afraid to get the pigs involved in clean-up duty. They despise each other, and not just because of what happened two years ago...
When they're hired for the same job in cozy, postcard-perfect Wyoming, they quickly realize they'll have to stop tossing out death threats if they want to get it done successfully. There's only one problem...They have to pose as an oh-so-happily married couple to get close to their targets, which means strolling through pumpkin patches and smiling on horseback rides--all while pretending they're not fantasizing about what the other would look like in a coffin.

From Cosmopolitan's Cosmo Reads imprint comes BACK FOR SECONDS, a sexy, sensory exploration of how food, sex, connection, and community can make even the darkest days shine bright with hope and love. It's about letting yourself be seen--mess and all.
Two cups of chaos, a dash of generational trauma, and a pinch of Christmas magic.
June Alfiero is just trying to survive her first Christmas post-divorce. If growing up the only daughter of Evergreen's boardwalk pizza king taught her anything, it's how to eat or be eaten.
She's done indulging family drama; she refuses to play games with her ex; and she definitely will not be falling for the viral vegan homecook she accidentally dragged on TikTok after one too many margaritas.
But when June comes face-to-face with the Adonis himself, Joey Pagano is nothing like his digital footprint. He's patient. Earnest. Maddeningly kind. And navigating his own heartbreak.
The more time they spend together, sharing home-cooked meals and soft confessions, the more June's hardened exterior begins to melt.
Suddenly, her small Jersey Shore town is serving up more than bittersweet nostalgia: it's late-night kitchen experiments, flirty bickering, shared secrets, and the kind of steady companionship June had given up on. Joey doesn't shy away from her mess--he pulls up a chair, pours a glass of wine, and asks for seconds.
With every boardwalk stroll and cozy, flour-dusted moment, June feels something inside her unclench. Maybe healing doesn't have to be quiet. Maybe it can be loud, joyful, and a little chaotic--just like Evergreen at Christmas.
But bearing her soul to Joey means risking the kind of heartbreak she's barely recovered from.
Will June take a chance on the delicious magic growing between them--or close the door before Joey can knock again?

How do you survive the devil when he wears a halo?
At nineteen, Aria Mills left everything she knew behind and fled Elysium, a deranged cult community whose leaders prey on the vulnerable. Now, years later, she’s a bartender in a small town building the life she once dreamed of. But when she discovers her childhood friend, Brie, is pregnant and missing, leaving two small children behind, Aria is dragged back into her past. Not knowing what else to do, Aria turns to the only semblance of family she has, Bruno Warner, a private investigator who believes justice isn’t always served inside a courtroom.
When Bruno’s old case files connect Elysium to ritual murders involving human sacrifice, he brings in his closest friend, Lachlan Grey, a former Navy SEAL craving action in his civilian life. As the clock ticks to find Brie, Lachlan and Aria work tirelessly together, causing years of suppressed emotions between them to emerge. And when their investigation reveals that someone is following Aria, Lachlan will stop at nothing to keep her safe, even when it means confessing a dangerous secret.
A storm is brewing, and no one walks away unscathed.

But also maybe my undoing.
Because when he looks at me with the same fire we once shared, I can't decide if I want to kill him . . . or kiss him.

Lana Blackwell thought she won her freedom the night she murdered her abusive husband, Richard. Instead, she steps into a new nightmare when his brooding business partner, Chuck Sterling, arrives convinced she stole twenty million dollars from their mob-laundering accounts. Lana knows nothing about the money, but when Chuck makes it clear the crime boss will kill her unless the debt is paid, survival leaves her no choice but to work with him. What she doesn’t expect is the dangerous pull between them, or how much it threatens the independence she sacrificed everything to claim.
Chuck has spent his life believing attachment is a liability and freedom a lie. Richard was the one person who made him feel valued—until his death reveals a web of betrayal that leaves Chuck questioning everything he trusted. As the crime boss closes in with violence and a deadline neither can outrun, suspicion sharpens into desire and emotional vulnerability becomes as risky as the mob itself. Loving Lana would mean dismantling the emotional armor Chuck built to survive—and choosing her would mean betraying the memory of the man he once called family.

From the acclaimed author of the western romance Homebound, two rival killers with hundreds of missions under their belts face their hardest assignment yet: marriage.
For these rivals, the chemistry is lethal.
Sabrina and Lawton go together as well as Dom Perignon and Frito pie. They have nothing in common--except for the fact that they unalive people for a living. Sabrina's a clever, Manhattan darling with a penchant for poison-tipped manicures. Lawton is a reckless, down-and-dirty cowboy who isn't afraid to get the pigs involved in clean-up duty. They despise each other, and not just because of what happened two years ago...
When they're hired for the same job in cozy, postcard-perfect Wyoming, they quickly realize they'll have to stop tossing out death threats if they want to get it done successfully. There's only one problem...They have to pose as an oh-so-happily married couple to get close to their targets, which means strolling through pumpkin patches and smiling on horseback rides--all while pretending they're not fantasizing about what the other would look like in a coffin. Things get even messier when they start wondering if they've walked into a dangerous trap. And, more importantly, will they kill off any chance at something real before they make it out alive?
From Cosmopolitan's Cosmo Reads imprint comes BACK FOR SECONDS, a sexy, sensory exploration of how food, sex, connection, and community can make even the darkest days shine bright with hope and love. It's about letting yourself be seen--mess and all.
Two cups of chaos, a dash of generational trauma, and a pinch of Christmas magic.
June Alfiero is just trying to survive her first Christmas post-divorce. If growing up the only daughter of Evergreen's boardwalk pizza king taught her anything, it's how to eat or be eaten.
She's done indulging family drama; she refuses to play games with her ex; and she definitely will not be falling for the viral vegan homecook she accidentally dragged on TikTok after one too many margaritas.
But when June comes face-to-face with the Adonis himself, Joey Pagano is nothing like his digital footprint. He's patient. Earnest. Maddeningly kind. And navigating his own heartbreak.
The more time they spend together, sharing home-cooked meals and soft confessions, the more June's hardened exterior begins to melt.
Suddenly, her small Jersey Shore town is serving up more than bittersweet nostalgia: it's late-night kitchen experiments, flirty bickering, shared secrets, and the kind of steady companionship June had given up on. Joey doesn't shy away from her mess--he pulls up a chair, pours a glass of wine, and asks for seconds.
With every boardwalk stroll and cozy, flour-dusted moment, June feels something inside her unclench. Maybe healing doesn't have to be quiet. Maybe it can be loud, joyful, and a little chaotic--just like Evergreen at Christmas.
But bearing her soul to Joey means risking the kind of heartbreak she's barely recovered from.
Will June take a chance on the delicious magic growing between them--or close the door before Joey can knock again?
He's a tattooed shirtless bad boy. My best friend's brother. And the jerk on the other side of my bed.

Even if Theo Monroe has been a pain in my rear since third grade.
Even if he should be responsible enough to not wreak havoc at his sister's destination wedding.
Even if it means we have to share a hotel room in Hawaii, which might be the final duty that breaks me.

Also?
I have no idea what's up with the tension between him and the groom.
Or why he's so proud of the world's strangest wedding gift.
Or why I suddenly want to know what makes him tick. The story behind his tattoos. How he can afford to rent a convertible in Hawaii. And if maybe all of that utter frustration and irritation I've felt for him for years is suppressed attraction that a good girl like me isn't supposed to feel for the biggest bad boy of Snaggletooth Creek.

When I find out his biggest secret and the answer to all of my questions, it will change everything.

Surprise! He's the new owner of my family's mountain café.
The café that has been my life purpose since I was born in the kitchen there almost thirty years ago.
The café that he's planning to completely gut and renovate for revenge against my family.
He's also the funny, charming, irresistible guy I spilled all of my secrets to last week.
During the hottest one-night stand of my life.
As my dog would say, woof me.
Secrets and gossip keep getting me in trouble, and I swore I was done with both, but now my family's café is on the line.
It's time to use every last trick I know to uncover every secret this man is hiding.
I don't care how much I liked him our first night together, or how much I keep seeing glimpses of that man beneath his gruff exterior.
One of us has to go.
It won't be me.

Jethro Hale is the last player Coach Clay Powers wants to see on his roster, but the G.M. pulls a fast one. And it's not like he can even explain why. Nobody knows about their love affair fifteen years ago.
Cue the all-star awkwardness, the painful memories and the reawakening of deep feelings on both sides.
Unfortunately, their attraction still burns brightly. But it can never be. A player and a coach? The scandal would overshadow the team's banner year.

If you love grumpy heroes, high stakes hockey, struggling single parents and smoldering kisses, grab your copy of The Last Guy on Earth.
He's a backup goalie with a broken game. The only thing he needs more than a win is the hot, grumpy bartender who pours his weekly beer.
Becker James is having a spectacularly bad season. Once a top draft pick, he's now riding the bench in the minors, one failed save away from being cut. The highlight of his week? A lonely hour on a barstool at Sportsballs, Denver's queerest watering hole-and Forest, the bartender with flannel sleeves, a gruff voice, and a beard that stars in Beck's dreams.
Opportunity strikes when Forest's LGBTQ hockey team-the Stickhandlers-loses their goalie last-minute. Beck makes Forest an offer: he'll help them beat the most hated team in the beer league, but he wants something in return-one night together.
Cue the record scratch, because Seth Forrester doesn't do hookups. After his last one went horribly wrong, he swore off men for good. He's definitely not falling for the awkward hottie who just stammered through an indecent proposal.
But Beck is prepared to press his case, no matter how awkward it gets. And one beer league game turns into something messier, sweeter, and so much harder to walk away from...

But when a wedding invite puts them on a collision course with her chaotic family and his emotionally fraught past, Eric suggests a plan: they fake-date their way through the "Wedding Experience." It's mutually beneficial. Totally strategic. And definitely not real. Except between mini tacos, slow dances and lingering glances, Eric starts to wonder if the sharp-tongued assistant with a bottomless to-do list might be the one person who truly sees him. And for Darcy? The fire in her heart might be the only one she can't put out.
It's supposed to be fake. It's supposed to be temporary. So why is it so hard to walk away?
Maddox
I've never been anything but the underdog. No matter how hard I worked, I was always good enough to be someone's backup but nothing more.

But when I find myself taking the snaps, it becomes painfully clear that I need some extra help-in the form of secret meetups with the owner's daughter. Livvy Grant is everything a guy like me could want-smart, beautiful, and knows the game of football better than anyone. But what happens when our midnight coaching sessions move from the field to the bedroom? Can we keep our heads in the game, or will we lose everything we've worked for?

EMMETT
From the moment I met Stella Wilder on the first day of kindergarten, I knew she'd be a part of me forever. We were inseparable, slowly falling for one another more with each passing year. The summer before we went to college on opposite sides of the country, she made me the happiest man alive by agreeing to be my wife. But it wasn't long before it all fell apart. It's been over seven years, and just when I think I've finally found my place with Cleveland's brand-new football team, she crashes back into my life and turns everything upside down.
STELLA
When I was a teenager, I couldn't imagine my life without Emmett Hayes. I had everything planned-get married, go to nursing school while he made his football dreams a reality, and live happily ever after. But I was young and dumb, letting a small seed of doubt grow until it led me to make the biggest mistake of my life. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about what could've been.

THEO
Since I was a kid, I've only wanted two things: to be a professional football player and to have a family of my own. Being drafted by the Rock City Renegades was the first step, but now I'm ready for the rest. I have the house and the rescue dog, who's proven to be a bit of a menace for everyone other than my crush, Finley Bolton. So when I find myself needing someone to watch him while I'm away, moving her in is the most logical option. She may be pregnant by another man, but it doesn't take long for her and the baby to etch their names into my heart. I want a life with them, but will I be able to break down Finley's walls and prove that I can be the man she needs, or will she pack up and obliterate every dream I've ever had?
FINLEY

Right away, he begins caring for me, blurring the lines between friendship and something more. I said I wouldn't catch feelings-sure that I'd be better on my own. But when he steps up, showing me what my baby and I deserve, will I be able to move on and protect myself from the heartbreak I'm so used to?
STEELE
I used to love being referred to as the bad boy running back-until my antics landed me in hot water. I didn't think life could get much worse than being released by the team I poured my heart and soul into, just to find out I'd be playing for the Rock City Renegades. They may have the league fooled into believing they've got a shot at a championship, but I see through the facade. They're a joke, and it's only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches on.
With no other choice, I sign the contract and agree to let the owner's daughter help me clean up my image. If I play my cards right and put on a show, I'll be on my way to a better team in no time. But when Sydney Grant walks into our first meeting, I realize I'm not working with a stranger at all, but the woman who had me crawling for her the night before.
Can I keep it professional and do what it takes to fix my reputation? Or will I risk it all for another chance with the one person I should stay far away from?
SYDNEY
Being the lovable outcast of the city's most well-known football family never really bothered me...until it did. My dad and sister are all business when it comes to the Renegades, often leaving me to wonder where I fit in. So, when they ask me to use my expertise in social media to make the team's newest player look like a golden boy in the eyes of the fans, I agree, not knowing what I'm getting myself into.
Steele Harlow is larger than life. He says what he wants. He does what he wants. And he certainly doesn't take kindly to being ordered around. But I never back down from a challenge, even when that challenge is tall, tattooed, and knows exactly what buttons to push to drive me wild.
I promised my family that I'd tame the league's bad boy. But what happens when I let my guard slip, and he sees the parts of me no one else knows about?

Josie, nicknamed the Maneater, is part of an elite group of private investigators who use their beauty, brains, and society's habit of underestimating women to get the intel they need to solve crimes and investigate for clients. Her particular strength is in her ability to seduce men and convince them to tell her whatever she wants to hear. She often goes on dates with high-profile men to find out what she needs to know, be it cheating, embezzlement, or the sharing of trade secrets.
Now she's assigned to go undercover as a vacationer at the Daydream Resort, a luxury all-inclusive vacation spot for the rich and famous, and find out who is sabotaging it.
While there, Rowan, a nuisance from her past and the VP of Operations for the resort, keeps getting in her way, but she's not backing down. He continues to find her at the source of the sabotages he's also investigating, and he knows that, somehow, she's not just a vacationer.
As the sabotage continues, the tension between Rowan and Josie grows increasingly palpable, but both are on a mission and can't afford the distraction.
But be it love or disaster, neither of them is ready for what's coming next.

I was taught that magick was forbidden; an evil that should be eradicated. Though I saw just as much malice in those without it. There was never an escape from the nightmares. They plagued my sleep and bled into my reality. Conceding to the shadows that were ever present finally revealed that there is truth hidden in the tenebrous edges of dreams.
Born of shadow and raised by the hand of darkness, one spark ignites a change neither of us expected. Together, we have to decide how to navigate the flames because where fire burns, smoke rises, and what is hidden behind the ashen veil is all we are left with.
In a world that fosters fear, kingdoms collide as the night is claimed, and only those who withstand the flames will be deemed worthy to reign.
The darkness is eternal; the vast expanse of unexplainable umbra swallows me whole. It’s how they always start. The nightmares that have haunted me for as long as I can remember—they don’t relent. They chase me into the shadows of sleep, and when I’m awake, a new kind of nightmare lives.
I want nothing more than to run away from it all, but in a kingdom like Eathian, the nightmares lurk in every corner. When something I thought I would never feel sparks an ember of hope in my chest, I reconsider my path. I think I have a plan, but that same spark of hope also sparks doubt as I find that 𝘩𝘦 has another plan entirely.
Not all nightmares are what they seem.
Will the ember die of ash or burst aflame and burn everything in its wake?
He severed the bond...but neither of them can escape what still runs through their veins.
Welcome to Deadwood Blooms, a haunted little town with an enchanting forest hidden from the rest of the world.
The lure…
Raven has swept in with the breeze, promising himself he’s just passing through until he stumbles upon a beautiful burlesque dancer. He’s suddenly lured to nestle into this enchanted, spooky town. There’s just one thing looming over his head: Vessa and the severed bond they still feel in their veins—a reminder that vendettas run deeper than the ghosts that haunt them. Trapped inside his mind, Raven’s thirst for truth about his hidden past becomes a wedge as he spends more time with this alluring woman. But when Deadwood Blooms is threatened by a new kind of danger, he has to decide if he should fight for the life he’s always wanted or discover who he was before the man he became in the mirror.
It’s all in the cards…
Vessa struggles with the never-ending grief of Raven’s betrayal. She continues to bleed the lands dry with vengeance. But when an unforeseen power presents itself in her darkest hour, she can’t help but be drawn to that familiar place. Ryder does everything in his power to keep her safe and guard her heart while he tries to fulfill a promise he made to an old friend.
Will love be enough? Or will she succumb to grief when she goes head-to-head with the one who betrayed her?

Last Ride of the Umbra Fae is a fast, wild ride in the dark. A beautiful, haunting story told from the perspective of two outlaws.
WANTED
For the murder of forty-five harmless civilians and counting at Grand Dusk's Tavern. Last seen heading west in the company of an old man and a pet blue jay.
The last of the Umbra Fae are legends, rarely ever seen. But when Vessa is forced to emerge from the shadows in search of a highly coveted tonic, she has more than a warrant out for her arrest.
Little does she know, Ryder, her hired guide through the City of Donia, is a bounty hunter who can blend into the worlds of both fae and humans. Ryder is prepared to double-cross anyone for the coin he needs to buy a clean slate. And he has nefarious plans to discover why one of the Umbras is so special.
She's a light in the dark. A fallen star.
The longer Vessa is in his range, the more this ruthless cowboy cannot tear his eyes away from her, forcing him to confront feelings he hasn't felt in a long time. While she is forcefully bound to another, she is also his destiny.
When their storms collide, Vessa and Ryder must choose a side, but the price may be steeper than what anyone anticipated. Her vengeance could become a toll, painting the lands with more innocent blood.
Welcome to the land of outlaws, where no one can outride their fate.

She ran to Montana to save her life.
She never expected to lose her heart.
After witnessing a brutal murder, dancer Delilah Grant has two choices: disappear or die. Armed with a stolen USB and nothing left to lose, she flees to a remote Montana ranch, hiding in plain sight at Weston Whiskey, where hard work and silence are her only shields.
Cole Weston doesn't trust her for a second.
A former bull rider with a permanent scowl and a dark past he doesn't talk about, Cole knows trouble when he sees it--and Delilah is drowning in secrets.
But the longer she stays on his ranch, the harder it becomes to ignore the beautiful little liar. Between glasses of whiskey, seductive dances, and chemistry he can't deny, Cole swears he's not falling for the woman whose taste he can't forget.
Until Delilah's past catches up to her and the truth is far darker than either of them could have imagined.
With the clock ticking and their lives on the line, he'd move heaven and earth to rescue the woman he loves. Because while whiskey might be his family's business, their real legacy is one of bloody vengeance.
The first book in the brand new Weston Brothers series from bestselling author Ava Hunter.
Sleeping with the staff wasn't part of the plan.
Sensible, capable, and ruthlessly efficient, Hannah Kabbah is the perfect nanny... until a colossal mistake destroys her career and shatters her reputation. These days, no-one in town will hire her--except Nathaniel Davis, a brooding widower with a smile like sin and two kids he can't handle.
Prim and proper Hannah is supposed to make Nate's life easier, but the more time he spends around his live-in nanny, the more she makes things... hard. He can't take advantage of her vulnerable position, but he can't deny the truth, either: with every look, every smile, every midnight meeting, Nate's untouchable employee is stealing his heart.
The trouble is, she doesn't want to keep it. Forbidden love isn't high on Hannah's to-do list, and trust isn't one of her strengths. When dark secrets threaten to destroy their bond, Nate's forced to start playing dirty. Because this reformed bad boy will break every rule to finally claim his woman.
Please be aware: this book contains depictions of depression and anxiety that could trigger certain audiences.

Mikhail Volkov is desperate to save someone he loves--and ending the curse is his last hope. Getting close to Nyx was supposed to be a means to an end... until it becomes something far more dangerous.

My only goal in life is to win another Stanley Cup with the Los Angeles Whales, so women are just a sexy distraction.
Until her.

the monster who could destroy her...
and the only one who never would.
Now they're both caught between
Their duties and their love.
Daphne Verus never planned to compete for the prince.
Now she's expected to trade the safety of her village for the caves beneath the mountain and be trained by Kronos Seneca--a basilisk who could overpower her, bite her, turn her to stone...but who also sees her better than anyone ever has and wants her despite himself.
The only rule between them is the one she sets: no sex.
She's spent her whole life giving herself to men who didn't deserve it. Kronos is a monster by nature. But he honors her word when no one else ever has, and that is the most dangerous thing about him.
Because if Daphne lets herself feel, she might discover she's capable of love after all.
And if Kronos claims her, he risks destroying everything--including his own chance at the crown.

In a brand new, sizzling arranged marriage romance, a mafia princess is forced to marry her enemy and live with him in Paradise Grove, a billionaire's enclave filled with luxury and secrets. For fans of TL Swan, LJ Shen, and Rina Kent.
He was only supposed to be a secret fling.
A forbidden kiss stolen in the dark . . .
Not the cold-blooded monster who betrayed me.
Callahan Knight is the Diamond Syndicate's perfect weapon with honed muscles, lethal control, and merciless loyalty. Even when taking out a rival cartel's capo--my uncle--he doesn't flinch. He shatters my family without hesitation, and I swear I'll never forgive him for that.
But the Syndicate doesn't care about my hatred. To secure their power, they demand more: A vow of marriage or watch everything we love get destroyed.
Now I'm the unwilling bride living in the luxurious prison of Paradise Grove with the man I refuse to call my soon-to-be husband. Instead, he's the villain. Enemy number one. My tormentor . . .
But also maybe my undoing.
Because when he looks at me with the same fire we once shared, I can't decide if I want to kill him . . . or kiss him.
Yet, I refuse to be distracted by his touch or piercing gaze. Instead, I'll play the part, wear the ring, and say my vows all while I dig for his greatest weakness.
Because he may be the Syndicate's deadliest weapon--
But I'm just as lethal as the monster I have to marry.

Lana Blackwell thought she won her freedom the night she murdered her abusive husband, Richard. Instead, she steps into a new nightmare when his brooding business partner, Chuck Sterling, arrives convinced she stole twenty million dollars from their mob-laundering accounts. Lana knows nothing about the money, but when Chuck makes it clear the crime boss will kill her unless the debt is paid, survival leaves her no choice but to work with him. What she doesn’t expect is the dangerous pull between them, or how much it threatens the independence she sacrificed everything to claim.
Chuck has spent his life believing attachment is a liability and freedom a lie. Richard was the one person who made him feel valued—until his death reveals a web of betrayal that leaves Chuck questioning everything he trusted. As the crime boss closes in with violence and a deadline neither can outrun, suspicion sharpens into desire and emotional vulnerability becomes as risky as the mob itself. Loving Lana would mean dismantling the emotional armor Chuck built to survive—and choosing her would mean betraying the memory of the man he once called family.

After all, "love" means nothing to a tennis player and Maggie knows first hand how complicated and messy relationships can be. Even her parents ended up getting a divorce. Instead of looking for love, she keeps her eye on the prize and her heart firmly locked away...even though it beats wildly for a certain best friend.
Rowan Amory has worked hard to make a name for himself and now he’s one of the best players of his generation. But lately, all he cares about is spending time with his loved ones and wondering if his best friend, Maggie, loves him back.
He was young and stupid when he agreed to a no-strings-attached agreement, not realizing a decade would pass and he still wouldn't have the courage to ask for more. But now, he's more than ready for the next step. All he has to do is convince Maggie to abandon the list of rules between them and trust that he'll be there to break her fall.
Will throwing out the rules result in a double fault? Or will taking the relationship to the next level be as easy as "game, set, match"?
Beyond the Court is a friends to lovers tennis romance and the second book in the Breaking Barriers series. This book can be read as a standalone.

Get wasted, get laid, and get the f*ck over it.
That’s my friend Braxton’s motto when it comes to life’s trickiest problems. So, when my cheating fiancée leaves me just months before our wedding, he comes up with a simple plan to help me get over her: go to the club, hit on the hottest chick I can find, and take her home.
But, it isn’t Braxton’s life on the line – it’s mine. And when he departs early with a prize on his arm, he leaves me stranded at the bar.
Alone. Broken. Vulnerable.
Nothing is as it seems at the club, either. Tucked away in an alley, hidden behind a nondescript steel door, The Rabbit Hole harbors plenty of secrets. The blonde bartender is irresistible, the drinks are to die for, and no one misses you when you’re gone.
One night buddied up to the bar will change my life in ways I could never imagine when I find myself in Wonderland.
I should have stayed home.

Twenty-three-year-old Seraphina Wildrick's first mission as a Keeper of the Artifacts ended when she found a priceless relic that awakens the magic of death in her veins.

A novice bowhunter, Jade Terrel followed her boyfriend Nick to a semi-remote island off northern Lake Michigan's beautiful coastline for what was supposed to have been an extraordinary whitetail hunting trip. But, in one night, everything changes as all communication with the mainland mysteriously severs, leaving behind an ominous orange glow on the eastern horizon.
Seven months later, Jade is managing--surviving--with her tribe of campers of Forest Dwellers Resort; the campground they'd been lodging that fateful night the mainland went quiet. Now fiancés, Jade and Nick, and the fellow Dwellers, have banded together to create a new rhythm of life: Jade and Nick hunt for sustenance, others raid the island for resources, and everyone chips in and takes care of each other.
Until...
After going out for a solo hunt, Nick never returns.
The Dwellers are convinced he's succumbed to the elements. Or worse, has been picked off by either the ruthless convicts who've escaped the island's prison or the rogue tactical fighters from the military academy at war with them in the north.
Jade's not convinced her fiancé is dead at all.
Nick is alive.
And she's going to bring him home. No matter what gets in her way.
Even if it's her own heart.

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother.

And maybe that's history now, but the responsibility to lead our family business and maintain our standing as the world's most sought-after Kentucky bourbon is on my shoulders. Few others know the lengths I'll go to ensure the safety of my business and family. Blurring morals and manipulating rules are all just part of the game.
There's only one problem: Hadley Finch. My brother's best friend, Fiasco's small-town princess, an honorary part of my family, the daughter of a deplorable businessman-she's the woman I swore to stay away from in a bargain I never wanted to make, and now . . . she's my wife.

There are a decade's worth of secrets and lies between us, but if we can both get what we want-I'll keep Foxx Bourbon, and she can escape the fallout from her father's sins-then none of that matters.
Before she was mine, I was fine protecting her from afar. It's never been about a happy ending or being her hero, but now, I crave both. Call it the Foxx curse or penance for my sins, but when all of it explodes and the lives of those I love are threatened, there are only two things I have left to bargain with: bourbon and proof.
