The Space Between Now & Forever

The Space Between Now & Forever by Melissa Toppen

I fell in love with Sutton Barnett the first time I saw him. I couldn't explain it, or rationalize it, but in some weird way it's like I knew he was the one that would change everything. And he did. Just not the way I expected. I blamed him for my pain. Let it fester in my chest until it had ripped apart any shred of the girl I once was. But he wasn't the first to break me. No, that came before Sutton. Before his bright blue eyes made me believe in something more. Before his touch made me forget. And now he's here, after six long years, trying to piece together something that isn't his responsibility to fix. Being with Sutton is like being brought back to life. He ignites something in me I didn't even know was there. A fight I thought I had long since lost. But Sutton isn't the only man in my life. And while I could so easily give him my heart, there's another that I loved first. Maybe not in the same way, but just as completely. His brother Remi. Torn between the brother I love and the one I can't live without; I find myself in the midst of an impossible decision. But when the truth of my past is finally revealed, I realize the decision may no longer be mine to make. And what happens next will determine not just the present, but every day that follows from now until forever. The Space Between Now & Forever is the second and final installment in The Space Between Duet. You MUST read The Space Between Love & Hate before reading this book. **Contains content dealing with sexual abuse.

Online ∙ The New York Post ∙ Bustle ∙ Reader's Digest ∙ BBC ∙ PopSugar ∙ SheReads ∙ Paste ∙ and more! Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: to write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years—or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the twentieth century. When Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she’ll choose the person who’ll tell her story, there are three things keeping Alice’s head in the game. One: Alice genuinely likes people, which means people usually like Alice—and she has a whole month to win the legendary woman over. Two: She’s ready for this job and the chance to impress her perennially unimpressed family with a Serious Publication. Three: Hayden Anderson, who should have no reason to be concerned about losing this book, is glowering at her in a shaken-to-the core way that suggests he sees her as competition. But the problem is, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they can’t swap to put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they’re in the same room. And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story—just like the tale Margaret’s spinning—could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad . . . depending on who’s telling it.

Funny Story by Emily Henry

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ A shimmering, joyful novel about a pair of opposites with the wrong thing in common, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Emily Henry. A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2024 Named a Must-Read Book of 2024 by TIME ∙ NPR ∙ ELLE ∙ Parade ∙ Woman’s World and more! Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra. Which is how Daphne begins her new story: Stranded in beautiful Waning Bay, Michigan, without friends or family but with a dream job as a children’s librarian (that barely pays the bills), and proposing to be roommates with the only person who could possibly understand her predicament: Petra’s ex, Miles Nowak. Scruffy and chaotic—with a penchant for taking solace in the sounds of heart break love ballads—Miles is exactly the opposite of practical, buttoned up Daphne, whose coworkers know so little about her they have a running bet that she’s either FBI or in witness protection. The roommates mainly avoid one another, until one day, while drowning their sorrows, they form a tenuous friendship and a plan. If said plan also involves posting deliberately misleading photos of their summer adventures together, well, who could blame them? But it’s all just for show, of course, because there’s no way Daphne would actually start her new chapter by falling in love with her ex-fiancé’s new fiancée’s ex . . . right?

Daniel Loveless and Charlotte McManus—aka Charlie—have been best friends since forever. Together, they’ve made it through everything from middle school dances to Daniel finding out he had a daughter, and they’re still thick as thieves. Faking an engagement, though? That’s… a lot. When single dad Daniel shows up at a routine court appearance only to learn his newly-married ex is filing for custody and plans to take his 7-year old daughter out of state with her, he panics.  His daughter—precocious, opinionated, blackmailing Rusty—is his life.  So he tells the judge he’s also engaged, to the one person he can always count on—Charlie. His chaotic, charming, impulsive, platonic best friend, Charlie. If anyone’s going to believe they’re together, they’re going to need to act like it: going on dates. Holding hands. Being cute in public. And… kissing. A lot of kissing, actually, because once they start it’s nearly impossible to stop. How did Daniel never notice how soft Charlie’s lips are? How well her carpenter’s coveralls fit? How her wild, curly hair is perfect for sinking his fingers into? Except that Charlie’s as irresponsible as she is pretty, and Daniel needs someone who he can count on to help corral his daughter, or at least someone who knows what day of the week it is. Friendship is fine, but anything more serious? It might be too risky. Best Fake Fiancé is the second book in the Loveless Brothers series, and can be read as a total standalone.

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

An Instant New York Times Bestseller A #1 LibraryReads and Indie Next Pick! From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis—with explosive results. 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. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. 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?

No one would ever call Ava Monroe a people person, which isn’t ideal for a barista in a busy London coffee shop. She’s sarcastic, blunt, and set in her ways, with a rule that her relationships are to be strictly no-strings-attached. But now, rather inconveniently, her best friend, Josie, is about to leave for several months, and she's pushing Ava to get out of her comfort zone and meet new people—though Ava's really not keen to shake up her life. Then the interminably cheerful and undeniably gorgeous Finn O’Callaghan rolls into her coffee shop with an unusual proposal: a strictly friends-only summer fling. Finn needs a local to help him complete his London bucket list before he moves away, and Ava needs to reassure Josie—and maybe herself—that she won't be lonely. Besides, it’s only for a few months: What's the worst that could happen? Before long, their mismatched friendship of convenience becomes more tolerable than Ava expected. As they work their way through Finn’s list around the sun-drenched city, from rooftops and floating bars to nights at the museum, their adventures—and Finn’s company—start to feel . . . nice . Incredibly, terrifyingly, dangerously nice . Still, rules are rules—and Ava's not one to make exceptions. As the days get shorter and Finn’s departure gets closer, Ava is surprised to find herself soaking up every moment, wishing they had more time together. But that’s the thing about summer: it always ends. Right?

Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for access to subsidized family housing while at UCLA. She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed, and they both went on their merry ways. Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up.

But in the presence of his family, Liam’s fears quickly shift from whether the feisty, foul-mouthed, paint-splattered Anna can play the part to whether the toxic world of wealth will corrupt someone as pure of heart as his surprisingly grounded and loyal wife. Liam will have to ask himself if the price tag on his flimsy cover story is worth losing true love that sprouted from a lie.

Jonah needs the job to move closer to his recently divorced sister and her children, while Sadie needs the financial security and freedom of a full-time teaching position. When Sadie notices that the job offers partner hire, however, she hatches a plot to get them both the job. All they must do is get legally married. It’s a simple win-win solution but when sparks begin to fly, it becomes clear that despite their education, these two may not have thought this whole thing through. Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Abby Jimenez, An Academic Affair pairs Jodi McAlister’s “smart, scorching, and emotionally resonant” (Freya Marske, author of A Restless Truth ) writing and academic background to prove that she’s one of the smartest rom-com writers working today.

Worth the Fall by Alexis Winter

Getting hit in the face with a pickleball wasn't exactly part of my post-breakup glow-up plan. Neither was meeting Miguel Ramirez—six feet of perfectly sculpted fantasy with devastating dimples—while sprawled on the court with a rapidly swelling eye. Fresh off a brutal breakup with my high school sweetheart, who is now on a spiritual journey that includes catching my office on fire with sage bundles, the last thing I need is something complicated. I'm supposed to be focused on making partner at my law firm, not daydreaming about how Miguel's deep voice would sound murmuring anything other than contract negotiations. And I definitely shouldn't be falling for his adorable six-year-old daughter, who is turning my meticulously color-coded life into a glitter-bombed fairytale. But Miguel makes complicated feel worth it. Between stolen kisses and family dinners that feel like home, I'm starting to believe in second chances. That is, until his ex-wife shows up at my law firm as a new client, armed with a smile sharper than her stilettos and an agenda that could destroy everything I've worked for. Now, I'm left to decide if this unexpected love is worth risking my career, my heart, and my carefully organized life. Falling for Miguel Ramirez might be the best mistake I've ever made—even if it comes with a side of princess protocols and permanent glitter damage to my designer suits.

So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it. And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again. Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future. Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed. After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.

Only problem is, her sister’s a little busy being a bride at the moment—so JoJo ropes in her childhood bestie, Cooper Watts, to be her wing man. Cooper: who RSVPed no, but then showed up, anyway.

Bayside Fantasies by Melissa Foster

Jett Masters has single-handedly built an empire. There's nothing he can't handle. Until sexy, snarky, and disorganized Tegan Fine catches his eye, and proves him wrong. Fall in love at Bayside, where sandy beaches, good friends, and true love come together in the sweet small towns of Cape Cod. Bayside Summers is a series of standalone steamy romance novels featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're fun, flirty, flawed, deeply emotional, and easy to relate to. In BAYSIDE FANTASIES... Tegan Fine has never had a plan—life, business, or otherwise. But she’s always had goals—to laugh daily and to pay it forward as often as she is able, just like her favorite uncle always did. After inheriting her great-uncle’s amphitheater, Tegan makes a risky move to a charming small town on Cape Cod to carry on her uncle’s legacy and hopefully expand the business with her new friend, Harper. Unfortunately, those goals aren’t doing much to help her plan a business strategy for her new endeavor. With Harper counting on her and her uncle’s legacy at stake, she swears off all distractions, determined to succeed. If only she could stop bumping into a certain arrogant, witty, and excruciatingly hot businessman who tweaks her nerves and invades her every thought. Including her late-night fantasies. Self-professed workaholic Jett Masters never slows down. He lives life with no attachments—except to his clients, to whom he gives his all. A reluctant trip to his hometown has him itching to shake the ghosts of his past and get back to spinning deals and adding to his investments. But when he comes face-to-face with a gorgeous, handsy woman who is quite possibly the snarkiest and most disorganized person he’s ever met, sparks fly, and his sharp mind stumbles. He doesn’t even know her name, but he can’t get her out of his mind. A chance encounter turns into a wild, sexy night, and their chemistry is off the charts—even if their ideals, and their lives, are worlds apart. Neither Jett nor Tegan is looking for more. Becoming friends with benefits seems like the perfect solution. But when they are trapped together in torrential weather, they work side by side in the aftermath, and every passionate kiss deepens their connection. Secrets are shared, trust is built, and no promises dare be made. As their lives move on, lines begin to blur, hearts get hurt, and their true selves come into focus. Tegan and Jett are left wondering if they make the perfect storm, or if they’ve reached the end of their bayside fantasy.

The Space Between Your Heart & Mine

The Space Between Your Heart & Mine by Melissa Toppen

At twenty-six, I thought I knew exactly what my life would look like. Marry my fiancé, Blake. Buy a big house on the California coast and have a couple of kids. Everything was so clear, until my mom got sick, and then suddenly it wasn't anymore. In the span of one year, my entire life was different. My mom was gone. I had abruptly ended my engagement. And I found myself three thousand miles away from home, trying to reassemble the pieces of my life when none of them seemed to fit together anymore. That's when Remi came into the picture… Gorgeous as they come, he blew in like a hurricane, shaking the very foundation beneath my feet. I had never met someone so unapologetically themselves. He was crass and witty. Sexy and fun. And boy could that man charm the robe off a nun.   His very presence warned me to stay away and yet drew me in all in the same breath. He was everything I wanted but shouldn't—danger and desire wrapped up in one beautiful package. Trying to resist him was about as futile as trying to hold my breath for longer than a few seconds. Simply put, it wasn't going to happen. Giving in to a man like Remi is as effortless as breathing. Falling in love with a man like Remi, on the other hand, is not quite so simple. I guess matters of the heart never are… The Space Between Your Heart & Mine is a standalone spinoff novel.  It can be read completely on its own, or following The Space Between Duet—The Space Between Love & Hate and The Space Between Now & Forever.
