Falling for Love

Falling for Love by Carly Phillips

One reckless night was supposed to be forgettable. Instead, it changed everything. I wasn’t looking for trouble when I met Jack Dare in a Charleston bar. But one look at the devastatingly handsome stranger and suddenly I wanted things I’d spent years denying myself. Freedom. Desire. Him. So for one night, I stopped being careful. One drink turned into stolen kisses. One kiss turned into a night I still can’t forget. And by morning, I disappeared before Jack could learn the truth about me. Because men like him don’t survive people like my ex-boyfriend. Powerful. Ruthless. Obsessed with control. The kind of man who doesn’t let go once he decides you belong to him. I thought leaving was the only way to protect Jack. Until two pink lines changed everything. Now I’m standing outside his Miami doorstep pregnant, terrified, and running out of options. But the man who opens the door isn’t shocked. He’s furious someone made me afraid to come to him. Jack Dare is protective, relentless, and impossible to walk away from. The kind of man who would burn the world down for the people he loves. And the more danger closes in around us, the harder it becomes to remember this was never supposed to be forever. Because Jack isn’t letting me run again. And for the first time in my life… I don’t want to. Perfect for readers who love surprise pregnancy, one-night stands that turn into forever, protective alpha heroes, emotional intensity, dangerous exes, found safety, and guaranteed happily-ever-afters.

And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK A hardworking single mom returns to her seaside hometown and stumbles into a fake dating situationship with a wealthy, workaholic scion, from the New York Times bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script . “A luminous story of love, duty, and the tension between the two, Dolly All the Time is less like a novel and more like a place I never wanted to leave. This might be my new favorite!” —Carley Fortune, #1 New York Times bestselling author If they start by pretending, can they end with something real? Dolly Brick has never met a problem she couldn’t solve. Not when her mom left when she was twelve, and not at thirty-nine when she moves with her son back to Whitfield, Rhode Island, for the summer to keep her dad and brother from losing the family home. So when she comes across Stewart Whitfield—annoyingly handsome scion of the Whitfield family—with a flat tire and at the wrong end of a very public, very humiliating breakup, it’s in her nature to help. But Stewart’s proposed arrangement ends up being more than either of them bargained for, because as public dinners and high-society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and kisses that hit her bloodstream like a ghost pepper, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She’s never relied on anyone besides herself—can she really start now? “Everything I want in a love story! Dolly and Stewart’s chemistry is off the charts, and their summer romance grips you from the very first page and sparkles like the sun.” —Elle Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of the Off Campus series

She plans the kind of Dallas weddings that end up in magazines, she's about to get her name on the door of the best firm in the city, and she stopped believing in forever the year she watched her mother cry through a fifth divorce.

Neither was the quiet cowboy who keeps showing up with coffee and a goat named Tiny following him like a dog.

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Captivating and action-packed, From Blood and Ash is a sexy, addictive, and unexpected fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros. A Maiden… Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers. A Duty… The entire kingdom’s future rests on Poppy’s shoulders, something she’s not even quite sure she wants for herself. Because a Maiden has a heart. And a soul. And longing. And when Hawke, a golden-eyed guard honor bound to ensure her Ascension, enters her life, destiny and duty become tangled with desire and need. He incites her anger, makes her question everything she believes in, and tempts her with the forbidden. A Kingdom… Forsaken by the gods and feared by mortals, a fallen kingdom is rising once more, determined to take back what they believe is theirs through violence and vengeance. And as the shadow of those cursed draws closer, the line between what is forbidden and what is right becomes blurred. Poppy is not only on the verge of losing her heart and being found unworthy by the gods, but also her life when every blood-soaked thread that holds her world together begins to unravel.

Rescuing Wade - Cynthia Dees Cover Art

Rescuing Wade

Rescuing Wade by Cynthia Dees

He left her once. The whole town remembers. So does she. Eleven years ago, Wade Lancaster’s father ordered him to leave Haven Creek and the only girl he ever loved. Wade swore he’d never come back. Riley Patterson built a good life in the years after Wade walked away — a thriving veterinary practice, helping her friends run the animal rescue down the road, a heart she carefully sealed off and called “healed.” Then Wade’s father takes a fall, and someone has to feed the horses and keep the stubborn old rancher sitting still. The prodigal son comes home to a ranch that’s falling apart and a town that hasn’t forgotten what he did. He plans to stay only long enough to arrange care for his father. He doesn’t plan on his mother’s overgrown garden, the rescue barn that needs his hands, or the woman he never stopped loving looking at him like he might break her heart twice. He’s a respected architect in Denver and has a busy life. He has every reason to leave Haven Creek and exactly one reason to stay. Now Wade is everywhere Riley turns: mending his father’s fences, reading his late mother’s garden journal, kneeling in the dirt over a peony that somehow refused to die. And the architect who builds his whole life out of clean lines and safe distances is asking for a second chance Riley swore she’d never give. But some roots run deeper than eleven years of silence and grief. In a valley that has a way of keeping the people who are meant to be kept, the hardest thing to rebuild might be the only thing worth saving. A tender, slow-burn second-chance romance about first love, family you forgive, and the stubborn, hopeful things that grow back when someone finally tends them. Clean and wholesome, with all the warmth of a Montana spring. Cynthia Dees is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over 100 romances, and Sarah Dees is a lawyer and published author. Join them at Second Chance Ranch for love, laughter, found family and friends in this sweet and emotional series about strong, wounded men, rescued animals, and close-knit women getting a second chance at love.

Drawn Together

Drawn Together A Novel by Mercedes Ron

From New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author Mercedes Ron comes her adult debut—an addictive romantic thriller about a young woman’s protected life and the bodyguard she can’t resist. *Soon to be a Major Motion Picture* He was my protection…and my greatest weakness. Twenty-year-old Marfil Cortés lives the kind of life people imagine from afar. The daughter of a powerful businessman, she spends her days juggling Columbia classes, stolen hours at her ballet studio, and glittering nights in New York City. Her world feels untouchable—polished, predictable, safe. Until the afternoon she’s abducted in Central Park. Days later, Marfil opens her eyes in a hospital in New Orleans with no memory of what happened. There are no demands, no suspects, no explanation, only fear and the unsettling certainty that she is no longer safe. In the wake of the attack, her father tightens security and assigns her a bodyguard: Sebastian Moore. Sebastian is controlled, distant, unreadable—a man whose discipline borders on dangerous. His quiet intensity unsettles and infuriates Marfil in equal measure, stirring resentment toward his presence, his rules, his unyielding watchfulness. Yet as the threat surrounding her refuses to fade, Sebastian becomes the one person she cannot escape…and the one she cannot stop wanting. What begins as tension slowly ignites into something far more dangerous. Because the closer Marfil gets to Sebastian, the more she realizes the greatest risk may not be the one lurking in the shadows…but the feelings she never meant to have for the man sworn to protect her. Lush, addictive, and charged with suspense, Drawn Together is a darkly romantic story about love and survival, temptation and control, and the cost of uncovering what others would rather keep buried. TW: This novel contains themes that may be sensitive for some readers, including kidnapping, violence, and power imbalance. Reader discretion is advised.

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?

Julian - Sawyer Bennett Cover Art

Julian

Julian An Opposites Attract Hockey Romance by Sawyer Bennett

Julian Langley has everything a man could ever want—a sprawling Manhattan townhouse, a multi-billion-dollar portfolio, and ownership of the New York Vipers, one of the most coveted franchises in professional hockey. What he doesn't have, and will never allow himself, is anyone who matters too much. Carrying a devastating loss that completely reshaped him, Julian has since built his life around the certainty that nothing will ever cost him that dearly again. ​​​​​​​ Harper Hawthorne isn't looking for a billionaire. She's looking for a way to keep the lights on. Single-handedly holding her world together since she was a teenager, Harper works two jobs, lives in a rent-controlled apartment on the Lower East Side, and sacrifices everything for her younger brother. When an unexpected phone call lands her a chauffeur job behind the wheel of Julian’s car, she takes it for exactly what it is: a paycheck. Julian notices everything about her. Harper tries not to notice anything about him. What begins as a professional arrangement starts to crack at the edges when Harper proves, repeatedly and effortlessly, that she’s unlike anyone Julian has ever encountered before. She’s too sharp to ignore, too genuine to keep at arm's length, and entirely unimpressed by his world in a way that makes it impossible for him to stop thinking about her. Julian doesn't do commitment. Harper doesn't believe in fairy tales. But some collisions are inevitable and some people are worth every risk you swore you'd never take again. Julian is a slow-burn hockey romance about a guarded billionaire, the woman who got under his skin without trying, and the long road back to trusting that a second shot at love is always worth the leap.

Rescuing Finn by Cynthia Dees

He's never stayed anywhere. She stopped believing she was worth staying for. Jazz Okafor has spent three years letting her ex's voice live in her head rent-free. Just a pet photographer. Cute little hobby, sweetheart. She's photographed every three-legged dog and one-eared cat the rescue has taken in, and she's good at it — but somewhere along the way she stopped believing she was good at anything that counted. So when she submits her portfolio to the most prestigious wildlife photography competition in Montana, it isn't confidence. It's defiance. And to her shock, she wins. Finn Holbrook is the other winner. He’s a renowned, world-traveling, professional wildlife photographer who's never met a town he couldn't leave by sundown. His mother told him to be selfish, to live for himself. But all it has gotten him is fame and loneliness. So he does the one thing he swore he never would. He stays. Signs a lease in Haven Creek. Adopts a complete disaster of a rescue kitten. But can he learn how to stay after a lifetime of leaving? Paired to shoot a wildlife calendar together, Finn chases the light while Jazz waits for the moment as they compete to capture the best picture. But somewhere between a dawn elk migration and a midnight Montana sky, the assignment stops feeling like a competition and starts feeling like the first thing either of them has ever been brave enough to fight for. Then a man with a folder full of Finn's credentials looks at Jazz's photographs and calls them charming. Quaint. Amateur. And Finn, the one person who should defend her, says nothing at all. She's heard that silence before. She swore she'd never stand in it again. Now Jazz has to decide whether she’s willing to shrink herself to fit in Finn’s shadow, and he has to prove that staying isn't being in a place—it's showing up when it counts. Can two people who've spent their whole lives hiding behind a lens finally risk being seen themselves? Aa clean, closed-door, small-town romance where opposites attract, found family, second chances, an absolute menace of a rescue kitten, and all the heart of a faith-friendly Montana mountain town.

Lyrical, romantic, and healing.”—Ashley Herring Blake, USA Today bestselling author of Delilah Green Doesn’t Care June 1852. When Abby Proctor is kidnapped from a train in the middle of the desert halfway to her new life in California, she makes a promise to herself—she will escape. Abby is leaving Iowa and all its oppressions behind for a reason, and she refuses to be someone’s prisoner again. Especially when that someone is the infamous female outlaw Joey “JT London” Taylor—Abby’s brash, brooding, and inconveniently beautiful captor. As Abby plots her escape, she stumbles upon a larger conspiracy behind her kidnapping—a complicated revelation considering her growing feelings for Joey, who might not be the ruthless criminal everyone believes her to be. Suddenly Abby doesn’t want to go back to the confines of her religious father or her suffocating husband. Then Abby realizes it’s all connected—her kidnapping, the secrets she left behind in Iowa, even her plans in California—and she must decide between returning to a life of obedience and unhappiness or trusting an enigmatic outlaw bound for the gallows.

When she's offered a brief window of freedom—an invitation to spend the summer with a recent acquaintance in a remote corner of Yorkshire, far from societal expectations—she jumps at the chance. Never mind that her new friend is odd, their chaperone questionable, and the village rumored to be cursed. Charlotte knows how to look after herself.

Magnus will keep to himself, and to the crumbling manor house, and for once in his miserable life avoid any cloud of scandal. A straightforward enough plan, or so he believes, until he catches sight of the bold, auburn-haired intruder infiltrating the grounds of his estate…

I suppose it doesn’t matter. Fitzy has made it clear he’s not interested in me, even though the sparks between us are liable to burn our house down.

So if my sexy brooding roomie wises up and realizes what he’s missing? He knows where to find me. *The Chase can be read as a standalone novel.
