#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A twist you won’t see coming. A love story you’ll never forget. From the acclaimed author of The Notebook comes a powerful novel about risking everything for a dream—and whether it’s possible to leave the past behind. A POPSUGAR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR We don’t always get to choose our paths in life; sometimes they choose us. After fleeing an abusive husband with her six-year-old son, Tommie, Beverly is attempting to create a new life for them in a small town off the beaten track. Despite their newfound freedom, Beverly is constantly on guard: she creates a fake backstory, wears a disguise around town, and buries herself in DIY projects to stave off anxiety. But her stress only rises when Tommie insists he’d been hearing someone walking on the roof and calling his name late at night. With money running out and danger seemingly around every corner, she makes a desperate decision that will rewrite everything she knows to be true. . . . Meanwhile, Colby Mills is on a heart-pounding journey of another kind. A failed musician, he now heads a small family farm in North Carolina. Seeking a rare break from his duties at home, he spontaneously takes a gig playing in a bar in St. Pete Beach, Florida, where he meets Morgan Lee—and his whole life is turned upside-down. The daughter of affluent Chicago doctors, Morgan has graduated from a prestigious college music program with the ambition to move to Nashville and become a star. Romantically and musically, she and Colby complete each other in a way that neither has ever known. In the course of a single unforgettable week, two young people will navigate the exhilarating heights and heartbreak of first love. Hundreds of miles away, Beverly will put her love for her young son to the test. And fate will draw all three people together in a web of life-altering connections . . . forcing each to wonder whether the dream of a better life can ever survive the weight of the past.

Say My Name

Say My Name by Alexis Winter

The man I've spent fifteen years pretending I don't want just offered to get me pregnant. Dominic Rowe is eleven years older, my brother's best friend, and the billionaire CEO who signs my paychecks. He's the last man I should choose, and the only man I trust. Five years ago, I learned what happens when a powerful man controls your heart, your career, and your future. And I've spent the last four rebuilding my life so completely that no one could ever take it from me again. Now I'm ready to become a mother, and an anonymous donor offers the safest path.  No relationship. No dependence. No one close enough to destroy everything I've built. Then Dominic finds the donor binder on my desk and makes an offer of his own. Choose him. He doesn't just want to donate and disappear. He wants to be the father. My equal co-parent. A permanent part of the future I designed to need no one. So we create eleven pages of rules. Separate attorneys. Career protections. Shared decisions. No romantic expectations.  And our first attempt happens at a clinic, where everything can remain perfectly controlled. Until Dominic admits he'd rather get me pregnant "the old-fashioned way." There's no clause covering what happens when he touches me. No contingency plan for fifteen years of forbidden attraction. And absolutely nothing protecting my heart when he orders me to say his name. Dominic was only supposed to be my co-parent. Now he wants the life we were never supposed to build. He wants me. And there isn't a contract in the world that can make loving him safe.

Those Three Words - Alexis Winter Cover Art

Those Three Words

Those Three Words by Alexis Winter

I never thought getting fired from my dream job would change my life. And I certainly never imagined three little words would be my undoing . Trust me—they're not the words you're thinking. Those three delicious, toe-curling words whispered by my boss were where it all changed. When budget cuts at my local school leave me scrambling to find a job before I get evicted, I stumble upon the listing of a lifetime. How hard can being a live-in nanny for a little five year old girl be? Especially when it's double the salary and comes with a sexy, single dad. But the moment I step inside Graham Hayes multi-million dollar estate and meet the grumpy billionaire—I know I'm in way over my head. It's not just that he's quite possibly the most attractive man I've ever seen, it's the way he stares at me like it takes everything he has to keep from devouring me. The way he curls his hands into fists to avoid touching me. The way he reprimands me through gritted teeth while his lust filled eyes burn through me. The naughty things he whispers against my lips as his hands explore me. Way over my head. Caring for his daughter is a dream—even his mother loves me. Soon, I'm head over heels in this fantasy I'm living. I'm even able to ignore the cryptic threats from his house-keeper who's hellbent on getting me fired. But I'm not prepared for the world of high-powered billionaires and glitzy parties. Besides, Graham isn't like these people—he's different. At least, I think he is…until a shady character I've tried to leave in the past reappears as Graham's new business partner and I'm reminded that I don't belong in this world. Sometimes life changing news comes in the form of just three simple words. Sometimes it comes in the form of an unexpected, heart-wrenching secret and the fairytale is shattered. Sometimes, it comes in the form of the opportunity of a fresh new start. You just have to be willing to take the risk and walk away or maybe…there's three little words that can fix it all.

The Risk by Elle Kennedy

New York Times bestseller! A new standalone novel from international bestselling author Elle Kennedy!  Everyone says I’m a bad girl. They’re only partly right—I don’t let fear rule me, and I certainly don’t care what people think. But I draw the line at sleeping with the enemy.

For the Plot

For the Plot by Alexis Winter

At eighteen, Archer Blackwood broke my heart. At twenty-seven, his dad just broke my bed. It's not like I planned to fall into bed with Reece Blackwood. Not when I ran into him at a dive bar for the first time in years. Not when I sent him my résumé after torching my life in one spectacular, wine-fueled spiral. Not even when this cold, brutally handsome CEO looked at me like he wanted to ruin me. He should've sent me away. Instead, he hired me. Now I'm his assistant. He's my off-limits obsession. And every stolen glance, every breathless moment behind closed doors makes it harder to pretend we're not one misstep from disaster. He's intense. Untouchable. Twenty years older and twice as guarded. I tell myself I'm doing this for the plot. That it's just a quarter-life crisis. That I won't catch real feelings. But under that sharp suit and ruthless control is a man who watches me like he's starving. A man who kisses me like he's breaking every rule for the first time in years. A man who tells me I wreck him—and means it. I swore I'd keep things professional. But we're way past that now. What we have is messy. Addictive. Dangerous. Because when the truth comes out, it won't just blur the lines—we'll obliterate them. Is he just a plot twist in my story… or the ending I never saw coming?

The place is in disarray, her ex-boyfriend’s the manager, and Fern doesn’t know where to begin. She needs a plan—a lifeline. To her surprise, it comes in the form of Will, who arrives nine years too late, with a suitcase in tow and an offer to help on his lips. Will may be the only person who understands what Fern’s going through. But how could she possibly trust this expensive-suit wearing mirage who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago. Will is hiding something, and Fern’s not sure she wants to know what it is. But ten years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern. Can she do the same for him?

Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him. It’s such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brother’s best friend and the girl he never even knew existed.

After all, he has made it clear that he wants her gone from his life. But not everything is as it seems—and clichés sometimes become plot twists. When Maya’s brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week. There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding something from her.

Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project—a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia—Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.   Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way.

But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school—archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.   Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. Perhaps it’s her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas…devouring her with those eyes. And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there’s only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?

And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head.

Swear on This Life A Novel by Renée Carlino

“Raw, real, and gripping.” —Colleen Hoover From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Before We Were Strangers, an “epic love story” ( Bustle ) about a struggling writer who must come to grips with her past, present, and future after she discovers that she’s the inspiration for a pseudonymously published bestselling novel. When a bestselling debut novel from mysterious author J. Colby becomes the literary event of the year, Emiline reads it reluctantly. As an adjunct writing instructor at UC San Diego with her own stalled literary career and a bumpy long-term relationship, Emiline isn’t thrilled to celebrate the accomplishments of a young and gifted writer. Yet from the very first page, Emiline is entranced by the story of Emerson and Jackson, two childhood best friends who fall in love and dream of a better life beyond the long dirt road that winds through their impoverished town in rural Ohio. That’s because the novel is patterned on Emiline’s own dark and desperate childhood, which means that “J. Colby” must be Jase: the best friend and first love she hasn’t seen in over a decade. Far from being flattered that he wrote the novel from her perspective, Emiline is furious that he co-opted her painful past and took some dramatic creative liberties with the ending. The only way she can put her mind at ease is to find and confront “J. Colby,” but is she prepared to learn the truth behind the fiction?

Off Limit Fucked By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad by pearl

"F**k, you're so tight for me." Ryder growled against my ear, his hips slamming forward in a deep, punishing thrust that made my back arch off the bed. "Harder... please..." He pinned my wrists above my head with one large hand, the other gripping my hip hard enough to bruise. "You want it rough, baby? Then beg for it properly." My body trembled under him, slick and desperate. The words spilled out before I could stop them. "Please... Daddy... f**k me harder." A dark, satisfied rumble vibrated through his chest. He leaned down, teeth grazing my neck, voice low and filthy. "Good girl. Come all over Daddy's c**k. Show me how much you need this." On my wedding day, I caught my fiancé Dylan Voss and my step-sister Helene f*****g each other in a room. Heartbroken and humiliated, I walked away from the altar. That's when Ryder Hawthorne, Dylan's powerful, ruthless stepfather, found me. He carried me to his penthouse, and in a haze of rage and need, I seduced him. We f****d like it was war: rough, and desperate. When Dylan walked in and saw me riding his stepdad, he felt betrayed and stormed out. I felt satisfied and vindicated. It was supposed to be one night. We were never supposed to see each other again. Until I desperately took a job at Hawthorne Prosperity Group to save my dying grandmother…and discovered Ryder was my new boss. One rough, forbidden encounter in his office, and he offered me to be his personal slut, in return he'd pay Gran's bills. I had no choice and accepted. Payback became obsession. My ex wants me back, but Ryder refuses to let go. Now I'm caught between revenge and surrender.

Smoke and Fire

Smoke and Fire by Katie Cross

Dahlia: I can be many things (barista, karaoke legend, impromptu-actress, whatever), but a famous author I am not.  Which makes it even weirder when a guy named Bastian rushes into my coffee shop and wants me to pretend to be him, a famous romance author hidden under a female pen name.  Um, what? No thanks. Except . . . I can't deny something is charming about his brooding reclusiveness, or maybe that's just the sexy scent of smoke that follows him everywhere. My obsessive love of GIF's clearly annoys him, but it doesn't stop him from begging me for help either. This guy is desperate.  When everything goes up in flames, we're left to deal with the wreckage. Together. Bastian: The last thing I want to do is ask for help, particularly from a dynamo like Dahlia. She has so much energy and I'm not sure what to do with it.  But I'm about to lose everything. While the mountains outside of Pineville burn and my HotShot crew and I frantically try to save the town, my hidden career is about to explode.  And I need that career.  Dahlia is the simplest answer to my problems, even though I don't like the questions she asks or the answers that come.  Then the fire encroaches on the mountains near town and Dahlia is in danger. I can't help but rush to save her. Because on the other side of those flames, she's saving me. In more ways than I could have ever imagined. And where there's smoke, there's fire. SMOKE AND FIRE is a clean, contemporary romance (but not religious) with a little sizzle and spice and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. It's the seventh book in the Coffee Shop Series. This book can be read as a standalone, but maximum enjoyment comes from reading the series from the beginning.

From the internationally bestselling author of Any Trope but You comes an enemies-to-lovers rom-com about a hopeless romantic wedding planner and the cynical divorce lawyer forced to help her plan her ex’s wedding. Gracie Holland can plan the perfect Happily Ever After—unless it’s her own. After a soul-flattening breakup, she’s rebuilt her life planning weddings at Larkwood—an ivy-covered Rhode Island estate where she lives in the staff cottage (and only occasionally cries herself into a blanket burrito). But when her beloved boss passes away and leaves the estate to her grandson, Gracie suddenly finds herself pitted against a love-allergic divorce lawyer determined to sell Larkwood by summer’s end—even if it means crushing his grandmother’s legacy and everyone’s jobs beneath his polished wingtips. As someone who cleans up romantic disasters for a living, Jude Larkwood has no intention of keeping the estate as a wedding venue, no matter how much he loved his Nana. Selling it is critical for reasons he can’t discuss, but there’s just one problem: his Nana inexplicably left the guest cottage to the estate’s maddeningly romantic wedding planner, who has somehow turned his mind into her permanent residence. So, when Gracie proposes that he help her plan her ex’s shotgun wedding to prove Larkwood is worth saving, he agrees—on one condition. If she fails to convince him by the big day, she’ll sell him her cottage. But as bickering and cake tastings turn into late-night confessions, Gracie and Jude find themselves breaking every vow not to fall for each other. After all, opposites may attract—but can a hopeless romantic and a professional cynic really say “I do” to their own love story?

Heartless by Sybil Bartel

Bodyguard. Sentry. Explosives expert. There was a reason I was the only Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician in the Marines who'd never sustained any injuries. I didn't take chances. Ever.

Promoted off the front lines, I didn't want to ride out my career behind a desk. A civilian job with the best security firm in the business seemed like a better solution… until a frightened client with haunted eyes lied to me about everything.

Two Alone

Two Alone by Sandra Brown

Damn her. His body was still on fire. Damn her, why had she responded that way? So honestly. With no coyness. No affectation. Her mouth had been so receptive. Her kisses so generous. Her breasts so soft… Only two survive the small plane crash in the Canadian wilderness miles from civilization: Rusty Carlson, a real estate agent from Beverly Hills, who has never faced anything more perilous than L.A.’s rush hour traffic; and Cooper Landry, an embittered Vietnam veteran, who has endured the horrors of warfare and a POW camp. Rusty wouldn’t have believed herself capable of dragging her unconscious fellow passenger from the wreckage, but that was only the first challenge confronting her. The man himself is as hostile and unforgiving as the mountainous terrain in which they’re stranded. If they had a choice, they would go their separate ways. But they don’t. If they want to live, they must stay together. Teamed against the harsh elements, injury, and a pair of conniving cutthroats, Rusty and Cooper must rely on each other in order to survive. In a one room cabin they find shelter. . .but, as winter closes in, they have no protection against the sexual attraction that becomes the real test of their fortitude. Within those four rough walls, Rusty discovers that Cooper’s brusqueness arises from immeasurable heartache, and, to Cooper’s dismay, his credo of No romance, no love, no thanks becomes his desperate chant to ward against Rusty’s allure.
