Former rake Richard Dolforth is shocked–shocked!!!–to learn that he is not only legitimate, but also the heir to a viscountcy.

Richard respects an independent spirit, but he’s utterly flummoxed to find himself attracted to Amabel. She’s all wrong, and so is he, but the sizzle they feel is exceeded only by the sparks flying between them!

Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope. New Movie Coming Soon from Amazon MGM Studios

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.

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.

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

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) 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.

When He Plays - Cynthia Eden Cover Art

When He Plays

When He Plays by Cynthia Eden

Begin this story with one certainty…I am not the hero. He’s used to breaking the law. Not protecting and defending… Logan Sterling knows the criminal underworld. He knows how to run cons, he knows how to ruin lives, and he knows how to handle danger. What he doesn’t do? Uh, save the day. Play the hero. And, yet…he is currently being blackmailed into doing just that unfortunate job. He’s been forced to work up close—intimately close—with gorgeous and infuriating CIA operative Charlotte Webb. There is truly no rest for the wicked in this world—and he is very, very good at being wicked. Sigh. Before this job is done, he knows that he will make Charlotte wish that she’d never met him. She’s his twenty-four, seven companion. He’s her worst nightmare. Charlotte Webb isn’t exactly thrilled with her new job. Playing the assistant to wild, bad boy Logan is not on her top ten list of activities. But she needs him in order to gain entrance into a world filled with some internationally wanted bad guys. So she’ll pretend to be Logan’s new assistant, she’ll try to control him as the man jumps from one wild scene to another, and then…well, when the situation demands it, she’ll even act the part of his lover. Sacrifices must be made, after all. But she will not actually fall for the man. Even if he is an exceptionally skilled kisser. And even if he—maybe—has a few redeeming qualities buried deep, deep beneath his sexy, smiling surface. She follows the law. He loves to break the rules. She saves his life—twice—and she drives him crazy with desire. The longer Logan is with Charlotte, the more he wants her. And when a sick jerk develops an obsession with Logan’s CIA operative, he just has to step up and show the world just how deadly he can be. Because it’s all fun and games in Logan’s world…until someone tries to hurt the woman who belongs to him.   End this story with one certainty…A bad guy will destroy every threat in his path if it means saving the woman he loves.  Author’s Note: Ready for an unlikely protector? Logan was not meant to save the day. He was more the “wreck the day” type, but when Charlotte blackmails her way into his world—and his heart—he knows that he will do whatever it takes to protect her from a twisted killer. No one is going to hurt his CIA operative. And Charlotte will discover that maybe, when it comes to her…he’s playing for keeps. Opposites will attract, proximity will be forced, bad guys will close in, and Logan will do whatever it takes to prove that he can be the man Charlotte needs when danger comes calling.

Kiss of the Basilisk

Kiss of the Basilisk A Split or Swallow Novel by Lindsay Straube

From internet sensation Lindsay Straube comes the first in a searing romantasy series where survival demands submission, and desire is the most dangerous game of all. Temperance Verus has never been kissed—not exactly ideal for a girl competing in the palace’s most closely watched matchmaking ritual. Every year, a select group is invited to bond with the realm’s magical basilisks and train in the art of charm, poise, and influence. The prize? A chance to win the prince’s favor—and a life of privilege. Tem expects rules, gowns, and etiquette. She doesn’t expect her assigned partner to be Caspen—the Serpent King, commanding, mysterious, and anything but safe. As he pushes her to unlock the strength she never knew she had, Tem finds herself drawn into something deeper, stranger, and far more powerful than royal approval.  But not all bonds are built for the court, and some secrets are meant to break them. Readers call it “feral, spicy, and unforgettably bold.” For fans of morally grey monsters, slow-burn fantasy romance, and stories that subvert the fairytale script.

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.

One Golden Summer

One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! ∙ A radiant escape to the lake from the beloved author of Every Summer After and This Summer Will Be Different, hailed as the “reigning queen of sun-soaked romance novels” ( Bustle ) “The way that Carley Fortune can bottle up the feeling of summer and put it into a book needs to be studied. Her books are so transportive!”— Glamour I never anticipated Charlie Florek. Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life. 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. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it. Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he’s all grown up—a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice’s soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart. Because Alice sees people—that’s why she is so good at what she does—but she’s never met someone who looks and sees her right back.

As Jasper and Eleanor match wits, he discovers that she is impertinent, imperious… and impossible to resist. It turns out that sparring with a headstrong wallflower is more to this stern duke's taste than the milquetoast maidens he was considering for his bride at the start of the house party. Maybe one of the Weatherby Wallflowers will be marrying into the St. James family after all… if Jasper hasn't already ruined everything. A Wallflower Never Surrenders is a steamy, comedic Regency Romance.

The next BRAND NEW instalment in the gorgeously funny, super spicy Love Hotel series from bestseller Olivia Spring! The friend zone was never meant to be this tempting… After distance pulled them apart, best friends Alicia and Noah are finally getting to see each other again. And what better place to reconnect than the Love Hotel in Santorini? Sunshine, sunsets, cocktails… her childhood bestie… and her so-called perfect match. Eight days of pure bliss. Except Alicia wasn’t ready for Noah’s glow-up. A year apart has turned him from geek to god, and her heart can’t keep up. Broad shoulders, slow, wicked smiles, and a subtle confidence that makes her pulse spike every time he’s near. While the hotel’s matchmaking experiment pairs them with other people who tick every box, Alicia can’t stop comparing or fantasizing about the one man she shouldn’t. But it isn’t long before their supposedly perfect matches implode in spectacularly awkward ways. Instead of disappointment, Ali can’t stop noticing Noah. Late-night confessions, clumsy touches, and way-too-close moments begin to blur the lines. Because maybe the algorithm got it wrong. And maybe they’ve been right for each other all along.

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 gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel. I’ve spent my life kneeling—to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king. I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood. But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father’s throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life. Now I’m crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him—bound to a future I didn’t choose and a husband I barely know. Everyone wants me to be something I’m not—a queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there’s power in being underestimated? And what if—for the first time—I reached for it? The Shield of Sparrows trilogy is an epic slow-burn romantasy best enjoyed in order.

Lydia had lost her memory, and was desperate to discover if there was truly a love to remember. For as she looked at Nathan Hunter's lean, muscular frame, she longed to abandon herself to the sensual stranger, and believe—if only for a little while—that the possessive passion in his smoky gray eyes was really for her. Business and pleasure weren't supposed to mix, but in this case Nathan Hunter was willing to make an exception. After all, it was in his best interests to keep his new bride's mind off the secrets of her past and her hatred for him. Keeping focused on his goals proved difficult as Lydia's sweet surrender wove a seductive spell around Nathan's heart, arousing emotions he had thought forever buried.

I swore to myself that I'd never cross that line with her. But when Savannah Monroe, my chief operations officer, shows up on my doorstep with a proposition that starts with her in my lap and a promise of just this once…breaking the rules suddenly seems so enticing. At fifteen years my junior and the smartest woman I've ever met, she's by far the greatest asset at Baxley Tech. From the moment I hired her, we had a connection—as friends, as a mentor. A lingering touch. A stolen glance. An unspoken attraction that simmers just beneath the surface, threatening to boil over. So when she reveals a painful secret she's been hiding from me that involves my CFO, I don't hesitate…I take care of it immediately. Or so I thought. But the lies and corruption go much deeper than I ever realized and now we're in a tangled web of passion and secrecy. After our one night together, everything changes. The thought of her in the arms of another man turns me into someone I don't recognize—insatiable, hungry.

But here's the thing about forbidden fantasies…they usually come at a price. And this one, just might be deadly. When a blackmailer threatens to destroy her life and everything she's worked for, I take matters into my own hands. Because when it comes to Savannah Monroe, there is no negotiation. No backing down. No Limits. No Rules. No losing her. We promised each other it would only be just this once. But now that I've had a taste…I want my fill.

Make Me Love You

Make Me Love You by Johanna Lindsey

#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsey explores the enemies-to-lovers trope in this sparkling, passionate Regency historical romance about an arranged marriage between an earl’s daughter and a mysterious viscount with a vendetta against her brother. One duel could be considered a matter of honor, but three duels are attempted murder! With enlightened society outraged at such reckless behavior among young noblemen, the Prince Regent orders Robert Whitworth, the earl of Tamdon’s heir, and Lord Dominic Wolfe to end their family feud once and for all by allying their families through marriage. Whichever party refuses to comply will forfeit his lands and title. Whitworth relishes the idea of sending his younger sister Brooke to his enemy’s remote estate. He knows the Wolf will reject her as a bride, thereby losing his wealth and status. The Wolf, however, is determined to scare away the Whitworth chit. With dueling no longer an available means of destroying the man he abhors, he will be satisfied to see him lose his lands and title. But he hadn’t expected his enemy’s sister to be so resourceful or resilient. Brooke Whitworth has been dreaming of her first season in London because she intends to win a husband who will take her far away from her unloving family. Instead, she is being sent to the Yorkshire moors to wed a mysterious nobleman whose family is cursed and who has thrice tried to kill her brother. But there’s no room in her heart for fear; this man is her means of escape. She will make him love her.
