The Woman from Nowhere

The Woman from Nowhere by Kristen Ashley

After a heartbreaking betrayal, Mabel Adams reinvents herself for the fourth time. Regardless of the alarming reputation of the deceptively sleepy town of Misted Pines, she decides to move all the way across the country to start yet again. Mabel has a one-night stand with a mountain man who rocks her world in bed but doesn't tell her his name. The next day, after receiving a threatening note from her neighbors, she discovers she's living next to an extremist cult where the women go in and are never seen again. After serving, former Navy SEAL Hutch Hutchison is living a peaceful life on his patch in the mountains outside Misted Pines. He's been burned so many times by women, he's happy to train his guard dogs, play his guitar, live remote, and most of all, quiet. Until he hooks up with a beautiful woman who lives just down the way. And then he discovers she's been threatened by the cult next door. Hutch's protective instinct sparks, and he decides his next mission is to keep Mabel safe at all costs. But there's something even hinkier about that cult than Hutch or local law enforcement expect. As Hutch executes the riskiest mission of his life—keeping Mabel safe at the same time keeping both of their hearts intact—Hutch and the Sheriff's Department try to unravel the mystery of The Lion and The Lamb before it's too late. Because Mabel is in their crosshairs. And Hutch is not about to allow her to disappear.

Be The Full Problem

Be The Full Problem by Lani Lynn Vale

I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear. If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a different, more satisfying way. I wouldn’t have given him that second chance. Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance. I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where Boone was involved. But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance. And I almost died because of it. After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in love with him all over again. And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart. I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down. Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t falter. I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.

Alex is a world-class chef. Alex resents feeling stuck in his hometown. Thea resents the town for not feeling more like home. Thea and her ex are in a contentious custody battle for their dog. Alex and his ex amicably coparent their daughter. Beyond a few friends in common, a couple small-world connections (welcome to life in a mid-size city), their lives look nothing alike.

Two years later, what began as a ruse has grown into real friendship—just friendship, despite what friends and family seem to think. But when their exes invite them on a two-week, “two family” beach vacation—daughter and dog included—Alex and Thea start to wonder if this story they’ve spun might have gotten away from them, and if it’s led them to the last place they ever thought it could: a happy ending.

Distrustful of all women though, he’s determined to avoid the marriage mart entirely by making a logical, passionless match to his best friend’s spinster sister.

Betrayed by a sister who eloped with her beau, Amelia Reynolds has good reasons for accepting Milo’s unexpected marriage of convenience offer: he’ll provide her the children she’s always longed for and she’s not expected to love him. But as she adjusts her new role as mother and wife, she is compelled to mend her husband’s broken heart, for the sake of improving their friendship at first. Yet the more she understands, the more she succumbs to passion, the greater her feelings for him grow—but falling in love with him would certainly ruin their entire arrangement and drive a wedge between them forever since he’s promised never to love her, too.

April's Cowboy Tanner - Eve London Cover Art

April's Cowboy Tanner

April's Cowboy Tanner by Eve London

Some lines aren't meant to be crossed… until she makes it impossible not to. There are three rules I live by. I don't work with Kincaids.  I don't cross lines.  And I don't make the same mistake twice. Waverly Kincaid makes me break every one of them. She's stubborn, relentless, and the one woman I should stay far away from, but she doesn't take no for an answer. Not at my ranch. Not in town. Not when I make it clear she's stepping into territory she has no business being in. Now I'm stuck helping her find a horse, spending more time with her than I can afford, and breaking rules I've lived by my entire life. One kiss was a mistake. Wanting her again is worse. Because Waverly doesn't back down, and she doesn't let me hide behind the feud or my reputation. Every mile, every argument, every moment alone pushes us closer to something neither of us can control. She's not just off-limits… she's dangerous. And the worst part? I'm not sure I want to stop.   The Cowboys of Mustang Mountain carry regrets, rivalries, and reputations they've never quite outrun. They're the men who fix fence lines by day, fight their demons by night, and swear they don't need anyone. Their pasts are messy. Their scars are real. And their hearts are locked down tight. Until the right woman walks into their path and shakes the dust off their hardened hearts. Women who aren't afraid to push back, dig deep, and call these cowboys out on every wall they try to hide behind. On Mustang Mountain, even the roughest cowboy can find a future, but only if he's brave enough to love the woman who won't let him walk away.

A Court of Silver Flames

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. 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. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they’ve only interacted briefly in the past. He’s endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can’t relate to. They couldn’t have less in common, but Landon needs a place to live that’s not a hotel room and Casey has just bought a massive house—and hates being alone. As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon’s one-word answers. As friends, Landon comes to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon’s time in Calgary is on. Need more Rachel Reid?!

Rust and Marrow

Rust and Marrow by Brea Holden

Harper Hayes would rather freeze to death than accept help from Cade Lawson. She inherited a failing Montana ranch and a mountain of debt the day her father's heart stopped beating. For six years, she has held it together alone — starving herself to feed her cattle, patching fences with frozen hands, refusing every offer from the ruthless land baron next door who wants to swallow her property whole. Cade Lawson doesn't make offers. He makes inevitabilities. He owns eleven thousand acres, a hundred men, and the patience of a predator who has been circling Harper's boundary for six years, waiting for her stubbornness to break. He tells himself it's business. He tells himself it's strategy. He's been lying since year four. Then the worst blizzard in a century buries the valley. Harper's truck dies in a snowdrift. Her body is shutting down. And the only man for miles rides through the whiteout to drag her — screaming, fighting, half-frozen — into his remote hunting cabin. No power. No radio. No rescue coming. Twelve days. One room. A fire that keeps dying. A hatred that won't. Trapped together in a space barely big enough to breathe, their six-year war turns into something far more dangerous. Every shared blanket is a battlefield. Every accidental touch is a detonation. And when the cold forces them skin to skin, the line between survival and surrender disappears completely. He saved her life. Now he refuses to give it back. RUST AND MARROW is a scorching enemies-to-lovers dark romance featuring forced proximity, a possessive alpha hero, and heat levels that will melt the snow off your screen. This is Book 1 in the Whiteout Sins series. Content warning: explicit sexual content, aggressive possession, survival situations, emotional intensity. Intended for readers 18+.

Callous Hands by Brea Holden

She wasn't supposed to stay. Clara Hayes pulls into a sprawling Texas junkyard with a dying car, eight dollars, and a four-year-old son asleep on her hip. She's running from a man who broke her. She needs a place to hide—just long enough to catch her breath, find a job, and disappear again. Vance doesn't speak. He communicates through locked gates, midnight repairs, and a silence so heavy it pins her to the ground. He charges her almost nothing for the rusted trailer at the edge of his lot. He leaves groceries on her doorstep before dawn. He builds her son a toy truck from scrap metal with hands that could crush a car into a cube. He's not being kind. He's building a cage. Every act of generosity is a wall going up. Every broken thing he fixes is a chain tightening. The diner where she works shuts down. Her car runs fine on county roads but dies on the highway. The gate she drives through every night requires a remote she doesn't own. And the man who holds that remote has decided—quietly, absolutely, without asking—that she and the boy belong to him. She should be terrified. She should fight. She should find a way out before the last door closes. But Clara is so tired of running. And the monster at the center of the cage is the first man who's ever made her feel safe. When a ghost from her past shows up at the fence, Vance does what Vance does. He handles it. With a toolbox and a four-hour drive and hands he scrubs clean before coming home. Now Clara has a choice. The open road—or the man who destroyed it for her. She knows which one she'll pick. She knew the moment she walked onto his dirt.

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.

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.

As an assistant, I know I have limited qualifications, but I am loyal and have been an assistant here for almost five years.  I apologize for the initial meeting where I was late in picking you up from the airport, spilled coffee on you, and introduced you incorrectly, among other things. I know I did not make a great first impression, but I need this job. No one should still be an assistant when entering their thirties.  I have attached my résumé. I'm sorry for taking up so much of your valuable time.   Thank you for your consideration,   Olive Porter   P.S. I'm sorry for kissing you on the lips. I really was trying to kiss you on the cheek. I was told you were European, so I was trying to make you comfortable. I was clearly wrong about both. SAVAGE LOVE I hate him. He's made my life a living hell every day since we were five years old. We've been enemies since the day he cut off my pigtails in first grade and I retaliated by drawing on his face with a sharpie. Our hate of each other grew stronger as we got older. We grew more savage in the way we dealt with each other. We broke bones in fights, sabotaged each other's dates, and ruined any chance each other had at happiness. We went our separate ways after college. I never thought I'd have to deal with that a*****e again. But I'm out of a job, so when the opportunity to compete for one of the highest profile PR jobs presented itself, I jumped at the chance. Even if it means I'll have to compete with Carter for the job. I'll be more than happy to crush him on the way to my dream job. I'm willing to do anything, savage things, to ensure I win. There's just one problem. I forgot how much my body betrays me every time I see Carter.

Crosby - Sawyer Bennett Cover Art

Crosby

Crosby A Portland Wildfire Novel by Sawyer Bennett

She’s here to expose hockey’s biggest flaws. He’s the complication she never planned on. Neither one is prepared for the sparks that fly every time they collide. Juno Paxton has built her award-winning documentary career dismantling institutions people blindly worship. Her latest assignment is her most high-profile yet: immerse herself in the league’s newest hockey expansion team—the Portland Wildfire—for an entire season and create a behind-the-scenes film the league can parade around as “authentic.” Juno doesn’t buy it. Not the hype, not the hero worship, and definitely not the polished personas of pro athletes. She expects egos, theatrics, and plenty of manufactured grit. What she doesn’t expect is Crosby Hale. The Wildfire’s starting goalie is stoic, meticulously focused, and infuriatingly camera-shy. He wants nothing to do with her film, her questions, or her insistence that he “show some personality.” Unfortunately for him, the league wants Juno’s documentary to center on the enigmatic goaltender who refuses to cooperate. But the more time Juno spends with Crosby, the more she glimpses the steady, thoughtful man beneath his guarded exterior. He isn’t the stereotype she’s built her name exposing—he’s better. The more she learns about him, the harder it becomes to keep her documentary, and her heart, objective. And for Crosby, letting Juno in feels less like a mistake and more like the beginning of something worth fighting for. Warm, witty, and unexpectedly emotional, CROSBY launches the Portland Wildfire series with a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance between a skeptical filmmaker and the goalie determined to stay out of her spotlight… until she becomes the one thing he can’t turn away from.

Kace A Pittsburgh Titans Novel by Sawyer Bennett

Kace Elliott is the hockey player with a genius IQ and a secret side hustle in applied physics. He’s falling for his research partner, but she doesn’t know who he is outside of the lab. Now, the closer they get, the harder it becomes for him to keep his two worlds from colliding. On the ice, I’m Kace Elliott—starting goalie for the Pittsburgh Titans, fighting to prove myself in the playoffs. Off it, I’m William—a scientific researcher, quietly holding on to the academic world I’ll return to when hockey is over. Both versions are real, they just aren’t meant to overlap. Until Dr. Laurel Kent. Laurel is brilliant, principled, and deeply rooted in a world where transparency matters. She knows me online as William, her intellectual equal, the man who shares her passion for data, late-night collaboration, and easy, unexpected chemistry. William is very much her type whereas athletes are not. I need her to like the bigger part of me—the hockey player. When she meets me in person, as Kace, I make the choice to let her see the type of man she’s sworn off from ever dating. She gets the Titans goalie and all the craziness that comes with the playoffs. But here’s where it gets complicated: I make the dangerous decision not to tell her Kace and William are the same person. By some stroke of luck, Laurel agrees to give Kace a shot, and our time together is more than I ever hoped for. The closer together we grow, the less she talks about William, and I convince myself I’ll tell her the truth when the timing is better, once I’m able to prove I’m more than the label she’s written off. But timing has a way of unraveling even the best intentions. ​​​​​​​ As the pressure of the playoffs intensifies, the boundary I’ve relied on becomes impossible to maintain. When Laurel discovers how closely intertwined my worlds really are, I’m faced with the cost of asking someone to love only part of me. And winning on the ice means nothing if I lose the woman who made me want to stop dividing my life in two.

Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she’s been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry’s Bay.

He’s one of two Army Night Stalker helicopter pilots sent to rescue her and the twenty-three kids who’ve been kidnapped from a school in Guyana. But when the time comes for everyone to escape the military rebels who’d driven them deep into the Amazon rainforest, Amanda runs away from rescue, instead of toward it, forcing Buck to chase her down.  As it turns out, she has a very good reason for not immediately rushing into the helicopter with all the kids. But now she and Buck are stranded in the very warm, very wet, and very uncomfortable rainforest—with a whole contingent of pissed-off rebels on their trail, who are determined to hunt them down.  Not on Buck’s watch. Danger’s a funny thing. It can either bring people together or drive them apart. Despite their rocky start, Amanda and Buck find, to their surprise, that they have a lot in common.

Dopo aver scontato cinque anni di prigione per un tragico errore che è costato la vita al suo grande amore Scotty, Kenna Rowan torna a casa con l'unico desiderio di riabbracciare Diem, la figlia di quattro anni che non ha mai conosciuto. I vecchi rancori sono però duri a morire: tutti nella vita della bambina sono determinati a escludere la madre, non importa quanto duramente lavori per dimostrare di essere cambiata. L'unica persona che non le ha chiuso completamente la porta è Ledger Ward, proprietario del bar della città. Ma se qualcuno dovesse scoprire che lui, pian piano, sta diventando una parte importante della sua vita, entrambi rischierebbero di perdere la fiducia di tutti. E se Kenna vuole costruire un futuro con lui e Diem, dovrà trovare un modo per riparare agli errori del passato.

Cleat Cute

Cleat Cute A Novel by Meryl Wilsner

* USA TODAY BESTSELLER * A sapphic rivals to lovers rom com for fans of Ted Lasso and A League of Their Own , where two soccer teammates are at odds before falling in love as their team gears up for the World Cup. Grace Henderson has been a star of the US Women’s National Team for ten years, even though she’s only 26. But when she’s sidelined with an injury, a bold new upstart, Phoebe Matthews, takes her spot. 22-year-old Phoebe is everything Grace isn’t—a gregarious jokester who plays with a joy that Grace lost somewhere along the way. The last thing Grace expects is to become teammates with benefits with this class clown she sees as her rival. Phoebe Matthews is too focused on her first season as a professional soccer player to think about seducing her longtime idol. But when Grace ends up making the first move, they can’t keep their hands off of each other. As the World Cup approaches and Grace works her way back from injury, a miscommunication leaves the women with hilariously different perspectives on their relationship. But they’re on the same page on the field, realizing they can play together instead of vying for the same position. With every tackle the tension between them grows, and both players soon have to decide what's more important—being together or making the roster. The perfect blend of funny and steamy, Meryl Wilsner’s Cleat Cute is about being brave enough to win on and off the field.

Funny Story

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?

Tainted Soil

Tainted Soil by Brea Holden

He didn't save her farm. He bought it. Elara Vance is down to her last ninety days. Her father is dead. Her mother is gone. And the bank is circling sixty-two acres of Montana dirt like a vulture with a briefcase. She needs a foreman she can't afford. What she gets is Kaelen Thorne—a man built from silence and scarred knuckles who shows up at her gate offering to work for nothing but a roof and a meal. He's too good to be real. Too skilled. Too patient. Too willing to bleed for a stranger's land. Because Kaelen isn't a stranger. He's been watching her for four years. And six weeks before he knocked on her door, he walked into a bank and bought every dollar of her debt. Every fence post she grips. Every field she plants. Every breath she takes on that property—it belongs to him. She just doesn't know it yet. By day, he pushes her body past its limits in the dirt and the heat, stripping away her pride one calloused hand at a time. By night, he reminds her exactly who owns the ground beneath her boots—and the skin beneath his grip. She calls it survival. He calls it possession. The truth is somewhere in the soil between them—dark, fertile, and impossible to wash off. But secrets buried under bunkhouse floors don't stay buried forever. And when Elara finds the documents with his name where the bank's should be, the man she let into her bed becomes the man who bought her cage. Now she has to decide: burn it all down, or learn to grow in tainted soil.
