After two lost years, I’m forcing the wake-up call on my life with a nine-month work-study cruise. See the world, experience all of it to the fullest, and maybe ( if I’m lucky ) find the life I’ve lost. I just wish I’d known what I was signing up for. My scholarship depends on tutoring a student. But not just any student, oh no . That would be too easy. Instead I get Paxton Wilder, daredevil influencer and X Games champion. And wherever he goes, documentary cameras, groupies, and high-octane stunts will follow. I want to hate him. I want to kick his arrogant ego right off this boat. But from the second we touch, my stomach does a full-on bungee jump and I know that Wilder is as much stay-away danger as he is addictive adrenaline. Because I know what happens to guys who go looking for that next wild ride. And I know what happens to the girls who fall for them. Now our fates are strapped together…and if he goes down, I don’t stand a chance. Each book in the The Renegades series is STANDALONE: * Wilder * Nova * Rebel

I'm pretty sure my friend is trying to set me up with her boyfriend's older brother. Which would be fine. If I hadn't just gotten out of a relationship. And, if said older brother hadn't ridden with me in an ambulance after I had a seizure a few weeks ago. Oh, and let's not forget about the fact that I work with his oldest daughter, either. Because that's not weird at all. My friend says I'm being prickly. That he's a catch and deserves a real chance. And honestly? She's right on both counts. He's annoyingly gorgeous, and has the personality of a golden retriever, which happens to be my favorite dog, not that it matters. Because I refuse to cross that bridge and date him. But friends? Sure. I can do friends. If I don't strangle him first. More than that, though? Well, it's not gonna happen. Or at least that's what I thought, until we find ourselves sharing his bed in a raging snow storm... Yeah. I'm in trouble.

Scythe & Sparrow The Ruinous Love Trilogy by Brynne Weaver

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird and Leather & Lark comes the final book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy—a friends-with-benefits dark romantic comedy packed with murder, mayhem, and spice. God, I want to kiss her. I want to feel the heat of her lips against mine. Would she want that? Would she melt against me if she did? Or would the tension I feel between us snap and release something feral inside her? Inside me? Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiancé and his derailed surgical career. It’s a simpler life: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston. But then the real circus finds him. Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she’s not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with a broken leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor. The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together. . . . And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts will catch up. Tropes: Friends with benefits / Small town romance / Fish out of water/ Forced proximity / Hurt/care / Touch her and die

In a nutshell? I'm screwed. In every way but the literal sense. Besides, she doesn't want the villain.  She wants the Golden Boy. And I lost that title long before we met.

On their third anniversary, Victor Summer presented his wife with a diamond pendant named "Love Elena," proclaiming his devotion for all to see. But while the world admired his gesture, Elena sat alone in their hollow mansion, staring at an image from an unknown sender: her husband's new assistant, Chelsea, adorned with that same pendant, entwined in Victor's embrace. For three years, Elena had been the ideal, obedient spouse. In exchange, she received infidelity, degradation from her mother-in-law, and Victor's repulsive claim that his affair was merely a "bodily requirement" while his heart remained hers.

Liquidating their estate, compiling proof, and delivering irrefutable evidence of his unfaithfulness… Nera pivoted and departed, trading her apron for a white laboratory coat, emerging overnight as a world-class pharmaceutical scientist who had stunned the industry. When Victor, with belated remorse and tearful begging for reconciliation, witnessed his frigid ex-wife being tenderly held by his uncle Adrian, he confronted the distant man before him.

In Too Long

In Too Long Freshman Roommates Book 4 by Mara Jacobs

Book 4 in the Freshman Roommates Series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Mara Jacobs.   I was really excited to start my freshman year. Again. I was supposed to be a sophomore, hanging with the girls I’d started with last year, but I’d spent that year back home dealing with the fallout on my family from my mom’s death. Now I was back, and ready to have a year full of fun, friends, partying and guys. Many guys. But only one stood out. He was a hockey player and I’d been warned that they didn’t do girlfriends. That point was driven home to me the first night we met. But that was fine, that’s not what I wanted either. A hot, sexy, one-nighter with a gorgeous guy (with a body that was supremely sculpted from all that ice time) was going to be the perfect start to my Do-Over year. But we had to spend more time together. In a setting that demanded we be open and honest with our feelings, which was not what either of us wanted. Our attraction to each other was a barrier to all I wanted from my long-awaited freshman year. But it was so, so good. I didn’t want anything heavy. Something short and sweet was fine, but as soon as I met him, short went out the window and I was… In Too Long.   This New Adult contemporary romance contains 1-2 graphic love scenes. If it was a movie, it would be rated R. Possible Trigger Warnings: Grief and depression are discussed. An off-page suicide attempt plays a small role.   The books of the Freshman Roommates Series: 1) In Too Deep (Lily and Lucas) 2) In Too Fast (Jane and Stick) 3) In Too Hard (Syd and Montrose) 4) In Too Long (Megan and Logan)

Campbell has always rejected everything concerning his maniacal father and his troubled past. When he left Nowhere, he was certain he wanted a nice, quiet life free from the only things he'd ever known: violence and bloodshed. He thought he needed to be a better man.
