The Invitation
Summary
A new, sexy stand-alone from number one New York Times best seller Vi Keeland. The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. Iâd received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man Iâd ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasnât a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasnât who Iâd said I was. You see, that unexpected invitation I received? Well, it hadnât actually been addressed to me - it was sent to my ex-roommate whoâd bounced a check for two monthsâ rent and moved out in the middle of the night. I figured she owed me an expensive night out, but I guess, technically, I was crashing the wedding. Once caught, I couldnât get out of there fast enough. As I bolted for the door, I mightâve plucked a few bottles of expensive champagne off the tables I passed, all while the gorgeous, angry groomsman was hot on my tail. Outside, I jumped into a taxi. My heart ricocheted against my ribs as we drove down the block - but at least Iâd escaped unscathed. Or so I thought. Until I realized Iâd left my cell phone behind at the table. Take one guess who found it? This is the crazy story of how Hudson Rothschild and I met. But trust me, itâs only the tip of the iceberg.

Happily Letter After
Summary
An Amazon Charts bestseller. From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a love story about taking chances and the surprises that come with them. My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasnât from the man Iâd eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell whoâd written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didnât start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmlessâ¦so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdieâs wishes, I got a look at her father. Her devastatingly handsome, single dad father. I should have stopped playing fairy godmother then. I should have left well enough alone. But I just couldnât help myself. I had a connection to this girl. One that had me acting irrationally. Like when I showed up on their doorstep.

Dirty Billionaire Trilogy

Or at least it did. Until I met her.Â
Books talk about sparks flying. Screw that. With her, it was like emergency flares mixed with jet fuel. Or maybe just straight up napalm.Â

Now Iâve had a taste of the perfect woman - and I need it again.Â
So whatâs a jerk to do?Â
I took this problem to the street. A missed connection gone viral.Â
And when I find her? Iâm keeping her.

The Anti-Boyfriend
Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new stand-alone novel.  At first, my neighbor Deacon frustrated me. Sure, he was great-looking and friendly.

So, finally, it was my turn.   When my daughter wouldnât stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my door. Miraculously, at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying. And when he held her...she eventually fell asleep in his arms.  Deacon was rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr. Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle was a baby whisperer.  After that night, we became friends. Heâd go for coffee runs. Come over to chat. Normal friend stuff.  But over time, our conversations ran deeper. We got closer. Until one night we crossed the line.  Our friendship turned into a complicated mess.  Iâd gone and fallen for a guy whoâd sworn off commitment and kids. I knew Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didnât fit into any plan heâd ever imagined for himself.  He was wrong for me - so wrong that Iâd dubbed him the âanti-boyfriendâ.  Then why did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?

The Boyfriend Effect
Summary
Iâm not boyfriend material. If a trail of broken hearts and a piss-poor record of failed relationships have taught me anything, itâs this. My buddies are happy to give me shit about my latest breakup from here to next Sunday. Thanks, but Iâd rather have a root canal. And a vasectomy. At the same time. Relief comes in an unlikely package - the gorgeous and feisty Maren. She just so happens to be my best friendâs sister, so thatâs not awkward at all. But Iâm a man on a mission, and Maren is down to teach me all the ways Iâve been failing as a boyfriend. Apparently, there are many. And itâs all very informative - until I start to catch feelings. Now itâs not just my reputation on the line, but my heart, too.

Doing Good Better
Summary
Most of us want to make a difference. We donate our time and money to charities and causes we deem worthy, choose careers we consider meaningful, and patronize businesses and buy products we believe make the world a better place. Unfortunately we often base these decisions on assumptions and emotions rather than facts. As a result even our best intentions often lead to ineffective - and sometimes downright harmful - outcomes. How can we do better? While a researcher at Oxford, trying to figure out which career would allow him to have the greatest impact, William MacAskill confronted this problem head on. He discovered that much of the potential for change was being squandered by lack of information, bad data, and our own prejudice. As an antidote he and his colleagues developed effective altruism, a practical, data-driven approach that allows each of us to make a tremendous difference regardless of our resources. Effective altruists believe that it's not enough simply to do good; we must do good better. At the core of this philosophy are five key questions that help guide our altruistic decisions: How many people benefit, and by how much? Is this the most effective thing I can do? Is this area neglected? What would have happened otherwise? What are the chances of success, and how good would success be? By applying these questions to real-life scenarios, MacAskill shows how many of our assumptions about doing good are misguided. MacAskill urges us to think differently, set aside biases, and use evidence and careful reasoning rather than act on impulse. When we do this - when we apply the head and the heart to each of our altruistic endeavors - we find that each of us has the power to do an astonishing amount of good.

Eat and Run
Summary
For nearly two decades, Scott Jurek has been a dominant force - and darling - in the grueling and growing sport of ultrarunning. In 1999, as a complete unknown, he took the lead of the Western States Endurance Run, a 100-mile traverse over the old Gold Rush trails of the California Sierra Nevada. He won that race seven years in a row, setting a course record along the way. Twice he won the Badwater Ultramarathon, a 135-mile âjauntâ through Death Valley. Recently he set an American record of 165.7 miles in 24 hours - six and a half marathons in one day. And he was one of the elite runners who traveled to Mexico to run with the Tarahumara Indians, as profiled in the bestseller Born to Run. His accomplishments are nothing short of extraordinary, but that he has achieved all of this on a plant-based diet makes his story all the more so. In Eat and Run, Scott Jurek opens up about his life and career - as an elite athlete and a vegan - and inspires runners at every level. From his Midwestern childhood hunting, fishing, and cooking for his meat-and-potatoes family, to his early beginnings in running (he hated it), to his slow transition to ultrarunning and veganism, to his world-spanning, record-breaking races, Scottâs story shows the power of an iron will and blows apart all the stereotypes of what athletes should eat to fuel optimal performance. Chock-full of incredible, on-the-brink stories of endurance and competition, fascinating science, and accessible practical advice - including his own favorite plant-based recipes - Eat and Run will motivate everyone to âgo the distanceâ, whether that means getting out for that first run, expanding your food horizons, or simply exploring the limits of your own potential.

A Guy Like Me
Summary
The John Scott story is the ultimate underdog narrative in sports during 2016 when Scott - in the twilight of his career - went from a joke All-Star fan-voted nominee to scoring two goals and winning the All-Star Game's MVP title. This is his heartwarming story about an average Joe who became a sports superhero overnight. Known as a willing-and-able fighter and bruiser in the league, John Scott was a surprising and tongue-and-cheek nominee for the 2016 NHL All-Star Game. He'd been in the league for over eight NHL seasons, playing for teams such as the Wild, Blackhawks, Rangers, Sabres, and the Sharks. Scott's best attribute as an NHL player was dropping his gloves - never the best player, the 260 pounder did become the most feared fighter in the NHL, racking up extensive penalty minutes. In order to prevent him from playing in the game, his current team - the Phoenix Coyotes - traded Scott to the Montreal Canadians, who demoted him to the AHL team in an attempt to disqualify him from playing in the All-Star Game. Fans were outraged and Scott was devastated. He'd been downgraded in his job - forced to relocate while his wife was pregnant with twin girls. But the fans wouldn't back down and insisted the NHL let Scott play in the game. The league relented, and Scott not only was invited to attend the NHL game in Nashville, but was nominated a team captain. The media and sports fans at large fell in love with the giant six-foot-eight player who by all means, was just a normal guy and no superstar player. In a true Cinderella story, Scott scored two goals and was the All-Star Game's MVP. This is his personal memoir - detailing his life growing up and how he was able to keep his sense of humor and become the ultimate Cinderella-Story of hockey.

Our attraction hadn't dulled one bit. After a whirlwind trip, he demanded a real phone number this time. So I left him with my motherâs - she could scare away any man with her talks of babies and marriage - and flew back home.

My Friend Anna
Summary
Sex and the City meets Catch Me If You Can in the astonishing true story of Anna Delvey, a young con artist posing as a German heiress in New York City - as told by the former Vanity Fair photo editor who got seduced by her friendship and then scammed out of more than $62,000. Vanity Fair photo editor Rachel DeLoache Williamsâs new friend, Anna Delvey, a self-proclaimed German heiress, was worldly and ambitious. She was also generous - picking up the tab for lavish dinners at Le Coucou, infrared sauna sessions at HigherDOSE, drinks at the 11 Howard Library bar, and regular workout sessions with a celebrity personal trainer. When Anna proposed an all-expenses-paid trip to Marrakech at the five-star La Mamounia hotel, Rachel jumped at the chance.

Anna swore she would reimburse Rachel the moment they returned to New York. Back in Manhattan, the repayment never materialized, and a shocking pattern of deception emerged. Rachel learned that Anna had left a trail of deceit - and unpaid bills - wherever sheâd been. Mortified, Rachel contacted the district attorney, and in a stunning turn of events, found herself helping to bring down one of the cityâs most notorious con artists. With breathless pacing and in-depth reporting from the person who experienced it firsthand, My Friend Anna is an unforgettable true story of money, power, greed, and female friendship. Â

Orb Sceptre Throne
Summary
The epic new chapter in the history of Malaz - the epic fantasy from Steven Erikson's friend and co-creator of this extraordinary and exciting imagined world. Darujhistan, city of dreams, city of blue flames, is peaceful at last; its citizens free to return to politicking, bickering, trading and, above all, enjoying the good things in life. Yet there are those who will not allow the past to remain buried. A scholar digging in the plains stumbles across an ancient sealed vault. The merchant Humble Measure schemes to drive out the remaining Malazan invaders. And the surviving agents of a long-lost power are stirring, for they sense change and so, opportunity. While, as ever at the center of everything, a thief in a red waistcoat and of rotund proportions walks the streets, juggling in one hand custard pastries, and in the other the fate of the city itself. Far to the south, fragments of the titanic Moon's Spawn have crashed into the Rivan Sea creating a series of isles...and a fortune hunter's dream. A Malazan veteran calling himself 'Red' ventures out to try his luck - and perhaps say goodbye to old friends. But there he finds far more than he'd bargained for as the rush to claim the Spawn's treasures descends into a mad scramble of chaos and bloodshed. For powers from across the world have gathered here, searching for the legendary Throne of Night. The impact of these events are far reaching, it seems. On an unremarkable island off the coast of Genabackis, a people who had turned their backs upon all such strivings now lift their masked faces towards the mainland and recall the ancient prophesy of a return. And what about the ex-Claw of the Malazan Empire who now walks the uttermost edge of creation? His mission - the success or failure of which the Queen of Dreams saw long ago - is destined to shape far more than anyone could have ever imagined.

Summary
You don't have to live overwhelmed by stuff - you can get rid of clutter for good! While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, real women with real families who are constantly growing and changing simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is a home that is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress. In Decluttering at the Speed of Life, decluttering expert and author Dana White identifies the mind-sets and emotional challenges that make it difficult to declutter. Then, in her signature humorous approach, she provides workable solutions to break through these struggles and get clutter out - for good! But more than simply offering strategies, Dana dives deep into how to implement them, no matter the listener's clutter level or emotional resistance to decluttering. She helps identify procrasticlutter - the stuff that will get done eventually so it doesn't seem urgent - as well as how to make progress when there's no time to declutter. Sections of the book include: Why You Need This Book (You Know Why) Your Unique Home Decluttering in the Midst of Real Life Change Your Mind, Change Your Home Breaking Through Your Decluttering Delusions Working It Out Room by Room Helping Others Declutter Real Life Goes On (and On) As long as we're living and breathing, new clutter will appear. The good news is that decluttering can get easier, become more natural, and require significantly fewer hours, less emotional bandwidth, and little to no sweat to keep going.Â

Park Avenue Player
Summary
From New York Times best-selling authors, Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland, comes a new standalone novel. It started out like any normal day. Then the fender bender happened. The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth. Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway - one I was excited about. Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident. Whoops! Yeah, so I didnât get the position. The problem was, I really wanted it. No, I needed it. Anything to get me out of my current career and back into working with kids. So, even though Hollis LaCroix was as intimidating as he was devastatingly handsome, I went back to see him and begged for a chance. To my surprise, he gave me a shot taking care of his troubled niece. At least my attraction to him wouldnât be able to go anywhere. I wasnât about to jeopardize my job or the strong bond Hailey and I formed. But resisting the magnetic pull between us wasnât that simple. (Then there was our little underwear game - donât ask.) We continued to flirt without crossing the line - until it finally happened. This is the part of the story where we fall in love and live happily ever after, right? Well, life has a way of throwing some major curveballs. Ours was one I didnât see coming. Â

11-22-63
Summary
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it. It begins with Jake Epping, a 35-year-old English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching GED classes. He asks his students to write about an event that changed their lives, and one essay blows him away: a gruesome, harrowing story about the night more than 50 years ago when Harry Dunningâs father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a sledgehammer. Reading the essay is a watershed moment for Jake, his life - like Harryâs, like Americaâs in 1963 - turning on a dime. Not much later his friend Al, who owns the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to the past, a particular day in 1958. And Al enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession - to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jakeâs new life as George Amberson, in a different world - of Ike and JFK and Elvis, of big American cars and sock hops and cigarette smoke everywhere. From the dank little city of Derry, Maine (where thereâs Dunning business to conduct), to the warmhearted small town of Jodie, Texas, where Jake falls dangerously in love, every turn is leading, eventually of course, to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and to Dallas, where the past becomes heart-stoppingly suspenseful - and where history might not be history anymore. Time-travel has never been so believable. Or so terrifying.

We Shouldn't
Summary
From number one New York Times best-selling author Vi Keeland comes a new, sexy stand-alone novel. Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning. I was late for the first day at my new job - a job Iâd now have to compete for, even though Iâd already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger. While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons. Sheâd ticketed a long line of cars - except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine. Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine. Chances were the owner would pay it and be none the wiser. Except, I accidentally broke the windshield wiper while slipping the ticket onto the carâs window. Seriously, my day couldnât get any worse. Things started to perk up when I ran into a gorgeous man in the elevator. We had one of those brief moments that only happens in movies. You know the deal...your body lights up, fireworks go off, and the air around you crackles with electricity. His heated stare left me flush when I stepped off the elevator. Maybe things here wouldnât be so bad after all. Or so I thought. Until I walked into my new bossâs office and met my competition. The gorgeous man from the elevator was now my nemesis. His heated stare wasnât because of any mutual attraction. It was because heâd saw me vandalize his car. And now, he couldnât wait to annihilate his rival. Thereâs a fine line between love and hate - and we shouldnât cross it. We shouldnât - but straddling that line could be so much fun.

I first met Tristan Miles at a meeting where he was trying to take over my late husbandâs company. He was powerful, arrogant, and infuriatingly gorgeous, and I hated him with every cell in my body. In the shock of the century, he called me three days later and asked me on a date. I would rather die than date a man like him - though I do have to admit it was good for the ego. Turning him down was the highlight of my year. Six months later, he was the guest speaker at a conference I attended in France. Still arrogant and infuriating - but this time, surprisingly charming and witty. When he looked at me, I got butterflies. But I canât go there. Heâs just a player in a hot suit, and Iâm just a widow with three unruly sons. I just need this conference to be over. Because everybody knows that Tristan Miles always gets what he wants...and what he wants is me.

Hard Code
Summary
"Uplifting and lighthearted with sassy dialogue and delicious wit, this modern-day comedy will have you rolling around on the floor laughing. My top-of-the-list romcom for 2020!â (Charmaine Pauls, USA Today best-selling author) âA feel good, steamy romance so hilarious reading it counts as an ab work out. I laughed harder than I had in months, and thought I might die of second hand embarrassment several times.â (May Sage, USA Today best-selling romance) My new assignment at work: Test out toys. Yup, that kind. Well, technically, itâs to test the app that controls the toys remotely. One problem? The showgirl whoâs supposed to test the hardware (as in, the actual toys) joins a nunnery. Another problem? This project is important to my Russian boss, the broody, mouthwateringly sexy Vlad, a.k.a. the Impaler. Thereâs only one solution: Test both the software and the hardware myself...with his help. Note: This is a raunchy slow-burn stand-alone romantic comedy featuring a quirky, nerdy heroine, her hot, mysterious Russian boss, and two guinea pigs that may or may not be into scissoring each other. If any of the above is not your cup of tea, run far, far away. Otherwise, buckle in for a snort-water-up-the-nose-funny, feel-good ride. Extra note: The epilogue is narrated by Sebastian York.

The inked, rough-around-the-edges bad boy left his reckless ways behind six years ago when his daughter Bell was born. When Bell's mother walked out of their lives, Andrew vowed never to let another woman close enough to hurt them again. Amelia isn't just another woman. She's an independent, smart, and savvy businesswoman who doesn't have time for sex, much less love. In the midst of a drawn-out, bitter divorce, all she wants is to bury herself in work. But when sharp-tongued Amelia and stubborn Andrew cross paths, sparks fly - and burn. After all, it's not as if opposites ever attract. "A five-alarm fire of a book that will melt your e-reader...and a father-daughter relationship that will make little hearts pop out of your eyes." (Lex Martin, USA Today bestselling author)  The First Taste can be enjoyed as a standalone or as book two in the Slip of the Tongue series.

The One Love Collection
Summary
Indulge in four best-selling stand-alone romances from number one New York Times best seller Lauren Blakely in the One Love Collection! Performed by Sebastian York, Andi Arndt, and Zachary Webber! The Sexy One Let me count the ways why falling into forbidden love is not my wisest move.... She works with me every single day. Did I mention she's gorgeous, sweet, kind, and smart? She works in my home. Playing with my five-year-old daughter. Teaching my little girl. Cooking for my princess. Which means... She's the nanny. And that makes her completely off-limits.... But it doesnât stop me from wanting her. All of her. The Hot One At first glance, stripping naked at my ex-girlfriend's place of work might not seem like the brightest way to win her heart again. But trust me on this count - she always liked me best without any clothes on. And sometimes you have to play to your strengths when you're fighting an uphill battle. As a lawyer, I know how to fight, and I'm prepared to fight hard for her. Because sometimes you need a second chance at first love. The Knocked up Plan There are three little words most guys donât want to hear on the first date. Not those.... I mean these...âknock me upâ. This single gal has had enough of the games, the BS, and the endless chase. I know what I want most, and itâs not true love. Itâs a bun in the oven, and Iâm not afraid to hit up my s-e-x-on-a-stick co-worker to do the job. Ryder is gorgeous, witty, and charming - and heâs also a notorious commitment-phobe. That makes him the perfect candidate to make a deposit in the bank of me. I wonât fall for him, he wonât fall for me, and thereâs no way baby will make three. Right? Come as You Are I couldnât have scripted a more perfect night. For one fantastic evening, at a masquerade party in the heart of Manhattan, Iâm not the millionaire everyone wants a piece of. Fine - multimillionaire. But whoâs counting all those commas? Not me, and not the most intriguing woman I've ever met, who happens to like dancing.

Once upon a Real Good Time
Summary
That smoking hot one-night stand with a former rock star? Turns out he's my son's new music teacher. Oops. But I didn't know that the night I met Campbell. All I knew was he played my body the same way he played a guitar - like he owned it. My libido is still high-fiving me after being self-served for too many years, and weâre both ready for another night or two of fun, especially since we donât just have chemistry in bed - we connect over everything. That is, until I learn heâs the man whoâll be coming to my house twice a week to teach my son - the best music lessons money can buy. Time to turn down the volume on our shenanigans. Only thatâs easier said than done. *** I can rock a guitar solo in front of thousands, I can write chart-topping tunes, and I can absolutely stop thinking about my studentâs mother naked. After all, Iâm a single parent too, and I know what itâs like to put your kid first. Thatâs what I do every damn day. Trouble is, now that Iâve had Mackenzie, itâs hard - and I do mean hard - to stop wanting her. Harder too when I get to know her, and learn sheâs an awesome mom, a great friend, and, oh yeah, she happens to get along perfectly with my daughter. All we have to do is set some rules. No dating, no nookie when the kids are around, and no one gets hurt. Itâs all working out beautifully. Until we start breaking the rules, one by one.  Making music with her in the bedroom is easy. But will we be more than just a real good time when the music stops?

The Rivals
Summary
A new, sexy standalone from number one New York Times best seller Vi Keeland. The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar.  Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born.  Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfatherâs wedding day - when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldnât marry him because she was also in love with Westonâs grandfather.  The two men spent years fighting over Grace Copeland, who also happened to be their third business partner. But in the end, neither man could steal half of her heart away from the other.  Eventually, they all went their separate ways. Our grandfathers married other women, and the two men became one of the biggest business rivals in history. Our fathers continued the family tradition of feuding. And then Weston and I did, too.  For the most part, we kept as much distance as possible.  Until the day the woman who started the feud died - and unexpectedly left one of the most valuable hotels in the world to our grandfathers to share. Now Iâm stuck in a hotel with the man I was born to hate, trying to unravel the mess our families inherited.  As usual, it didnât take long for us to be at each otherâs throats.  Weston Lockwood was everything I hated: tall, smart, cocky, and too gorgeous for his own good. We were fire and ice.  But that shouldnât be an issue. Our families were used to being at war. There was just one minor problem, though. Every time Weston and I fought, we somehow wound up in bed.

Womanizer
Summary
You've seen the headlines: Womanizing billionaire player! Watch out! Stay away! We were just two strangers. Facing a forbidden attraction, a chemical connection. Neither of us expected or wanted it to amount to more. But I had never been drawn to a guy the way I was drawn to this one: my brother's best friend, and CEO of the company where I interned. Even knowing I should stay away, I proved to be too human after all. The chemistry was amazing. The laughs were incredible. I opened up to him in more ways than I'd opened up to anyone before. But sex was as far as I'd go. Just sex, because he was too irresistible. Just sex, because I wouldn't be falling for him. Just sex, because I'd leave in three months, and I'd like for my brother not to kill me and for nobody to find out he was my wicked little secret. He wasn't the One. He was just a womanizer. But for a time, he would be mine.

Sweet Rivalry
Summary
Ryder Rodgers had a plan. He was going to stride into the conference room, do the required song and dance over the next five days, and win the biggest contract of his career. But when he walksed in and heard the voice of one of his competitors, all his plans were shot to hell. Harper Denton. She was always on top. In college. First in their class. Always using every advantage to edge him out to win the coveted positions. The only one who could beat him. His academic rival. More like a constant thorn in his side. And his ego. When he heard her voice, he was brought back to years before. To the bitter taste of being second best. But the woman who met his gaze is nothing like the drab wallflower he used to know. Hell no. She was all woman now: curves, confidence, and staggering sex appeal. And, no doubt, still brilliant. The fact that she was gorgeous and bright wouldn't distract him. This time Ryder was determined to be the one on top. But not if Harper could help it.

When August Ends
Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new stand-alone novel. What do you do when a sexy older man moves into your familyâs summer rental? Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself - over and over. Things didnât exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least. But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a newfound energy. Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake - not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. Heâd booked it for the entire summer...and I was still trying to figure out why. When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of. I should have been in college. Instead, I was living my best life...as a maid. Dark, handsome, and mysterious, everything about Noah screamed forbidden. I knew he was just passing through town for the summer. I knew he was probably too old for me. Yet I was drawn to him. Not to mention he tried to save my life when he mistakenly thought I was drowning. I wanted him and made no secret of it. His own attempts to warn me away soon gave way to late-night moonlight chats by the lake. We were slowly easing into a friendship that was gearing up to explode into something I might not recover from. Because heâs leaving at the end of the summer. And I have no idea what Iâll do when August ends.

Beautiful Mistake
Summary
The first time I met Caine West was in a bar. He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out. When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight - telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass. You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend-smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married. He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he'd done. Especially when that lazy smile graced his perfect face in response to my rant. Only it turned out, the man I'd just told off wasn't the right guy. Oops. My mistake. Embarrassed, I slunk out without an apology. I was never going to see the handsome stranger again anyway, right? That's what I thought...until I walked into class the next morning. Well, hello Professor West, I'm your new teaching assistant. I'll be working under you...figuratively speaking. Although the literal interpretation might not be such a bad thing working under Professor West. This was going to be interesting.

I couldn't have scripted a more perfect night. For one fantastic evening, at a masquerade party in the heart of Manhattan, I'm not the millionaire everyone wants a piece of. Fine - multimillionaire. But who's counting all those commas? Not me, and not the most intriguing woman I've ever met, who happens to like dancing, witty banter, and hot, passionate up-against-the-wall sex as much as I do.

Love Online
Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy stand-alone novel.  We met in the least likely of places. It started out innocently enough. I was âScreenGodâ, and she was âMontanaâ, but of course those werenât our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind. Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape - my sanctuary.   Her real name was Eden, Iâd soon come to find out. From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed. She was an addiction. At first, we knew nothing about each otherâs real identities...and she was adamant that we keep things that way. Anonymity had no effect on our unstoppable chemistry, though. If anything, it allowed us to open up even more in ways we may not have otherwise.   Eden was funny, intelligent, gorgeous - everything Iâd ever wanted in a woman. But I couldnât really have her. I had accepted things would have to stay the way they were - until the day I found a clue that led me straight to her. So I took a chance. And that was when our love story really began.

Unforgettable: A Small Town Second Chance Sports Romance
Summary
Back then, I had it all. Wicked fastball. Killer instinct. Cocky grin. Full package. (And believe me, I knew how to score.) My senior year, I was a first round draft pick with a two-million-dollar signing bonus. Before I could even legally buy myself a beer, I made my Major League debut. Point is, I was invincible. Until one day I wasnât. After tanking my career - during the World Series, no less - the last thing I want to do is return to my hometown, where every jerk in a ball cap has an opinion about what went wrong with my arm. So when my sister drags me back to town for her wedding, I vow to get in and out of there as quickly as possible. Then I run into April Sawyer. In high school we were just friends, but Iâd always wanted her, and Iâd never forgotten her - the red hair, the incredible smile, the crazy, reckless thing we did in the back of my truck the night we said goodbye. Itâs been 18 years, but one look at her and I feel like my old self again. I can still make her laugh, she can still take me down a notch, and when the chemistry between us explodes, itâs even hotter this time around - and I donât want it to end. But just when I think Iâm ready to let go of the past and get back in the game, life throws me a curveball I never saw coming.

The Day He Came Back
Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel. It was the summer of my life. Iâd met the guy of my dreams. Unfortunately, he was the son of my uppity employer - and very much off-limits. But Gavin was a rebel. He knew his mother would disown him if she found out about us; in his eyes, we just had to be careful. He never treated me as his mother did - like hired help. Instead, Gavin put me on a pedestal and loved me harder than Iâd ever been loved in my life. What a summer it was. Until it all ended - badly. I was never supposed to see Gavin again. That didnât stop me from thinking about him every day for 10 years. I knew little about his life now, just that he was an entrepreneur living an ocean away. When a twist of fate had me working again in the very place our love affair started a decade earlier, I knew it was only a matter of time before I might see him again. But I wasnât prepared. What if he hated me? What if he loved someone else now? I wasnât prepared for all the unknowns. And most of all, I wasnât prepared for today to be the day he came back.

Inappropriate
Summary
From number-one New York Times best seller Vi Keeland, comes a new, sexy stand-alone novel. Terminated for inappropriate behavior. I couldnât believe the letter in my hands. Nine years. Nine damn years Iâd worked my butt off for one of the largest companies in America, and I was fired with a form letter when I returned home from a week in Aruba. All because of a video taken when I was on vacation with my friends - a private video made on my private time. Or so I thought.... Pissed off, I cracked open a bottle of wine and wrote my own letter to the gazillionaire CEO telling him what I thought of his company and its practices. I didnât think heâd actually respond. I certainly never thought Iâd suddenly become pen pals with the rich jerk. Eventually, he realized Iâd been wronged and made sure I got my job back. Onlyâ¦it wasnât the only thing Grant Lexington wanted to do for me. But there was no way I was getting involved with my bossâs bossâs boss. Even if he was ridiculously gorgeous, confident, and charming. It would be completely wrong, inappropriate even. Sort of like the video that got me into trouble to begin with. Two wrongs donât make a right. But sometimes itâs twice as fun.

The Dugout
Summary
Let me ask you a question: If someone is vying for your spot on a team and just so happens to injure you during practice, would you believe it was on purpose? Word around campus is...it was no accident. That injury has cost me everything - my starting position, my junior year, and the draft. Now, Iâm a senior fresh off recovery, struggling to find my groove, until the day I run into a nervous, fidgety girl with freckles in the dining hall. They call Milly Potter "The Baseball Whisperer", "The Diamond Wizard", and "The Epitome of All Knowledge". She believes in baseball. She breathes it. Sheâs the queen of an infamous dynasty, but no one actually knows who she really is, and she plans to keep it that way. One mishap in the panini line, one miscommunication in the weight room, and many failed attempts at an apology equal up to one solid truth: Milly Potter never wants to speak to me again, no matter how good my forearms look. Little do we both know, sheâs about to become more than just my fairy ball mother.

Indigo Nights
Summary
I don't do romance. I don't do love. I certainly don't do relationships. Women are attracted to my power and money, and I like a nice ass and a pretty smile. It's a fair exchange - a business deal for pleasure. Meeting Beth Harrison in the first-class cabin of my flight from Chicago to London throws me for a loop, and everything I know about myself and women goes out the window. I'm usually good at reading people, situations, the markets. I know instantly if I can trust someone or if they're lying. But Beth is so contradictory and confounding, I don't know which way is up. She's sweet but so sexy, she makes my knees weak and mouth dry. She's confident but so vulnerable, I want to wrap her up and protect her from the world. And then she fucks me like a train and just disappears, leaving me with my pants around my ankles, wondering which day of the week it is. If I ever see her again, I don't know if I'll scream at her, strip her naked, or fall in love. Thank goodness I live in Chicago and she lives in London, and we'll never see each other again, right?

Tequila Rose
Summary
He tasted like tequila and the fake name I gave him was Rose. Four years ago, I decided to get over one man, by getting under another. A single night and nothing more. I found my handsome stranger with a shot glass and charming but devilish smile at the end of the bar. The desire that hit his eyes the second they landed on me ignited a spark inside me, instant and hot. He was perfect and everything I didnât know I needed. That one night may have ended, but I left with much more than a memory. Four years later, and with a three-year-old in tow, the man I still dream about is staring at me from across the street in the town I grew up in. I donât miss the flash of recognition, or the heat in his gaze. The chemistry is still there, even after all these years. I just hope the secrets and regrets donât destroy our second chance before itâs even begun.

The Crush
Summary
From New York Times best-selling author Penelope Ward comes a new stand-alone, second-chance story of forbidden love.... Itâs natural to want the one you canât have. And for as long as I could remember, Iâd secretly wanted my brotherâs best friend, Jace. He was six years older and always treated me like the sister he never had. Fast forward a decade. We were all in our 20s now. Jace had moved in with my brother, Nathan, and me to help us make ends meet after our parents died. It was just the three of us - an odd family dynamic. Living under our roof, Jace was as bossy and protective as ever. But he certainly didnât look at me like a sister anymore. That was what made things so complicated. I was pretty much hot and bothered 24/7. And he was torn. The signs were subtle at first. Like on movie night, Iâd casually rest my leg against his, and he wouldnât exactly shift away. Still, I assumed he would never...go there. Nathan would kill us. The knowledge of that wasnât enough to stop the inevitable, though. Eventually our slow burn exploded. But more than the physical attraction, weâd developed a strong connection. We just couldnât get caught, right? That sounded simple. Until it wasnât. This is a story of forbidden love, broken trust, and an unexpected second chance.

Summary
New York Times best-selling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward bring you three sexy short stories to heat up your holidays! "Sexy Scrooge" The last thing I needed was to share an Uber with Scrooge - a cocky lawyer on a snowy Christmas Eve. It was bad enough I was on my way to court for the gift of eviction.

"The Merry Mistake" Note to self: Ask Santa for glasses this year. When I accidentally mistook a gorgeous man resting outside my building for a homeless person in need of lunch, we got into it. Iâd only been trying to do a good deed around the holidays, but he called me righteous. I called him something far worse. If only I didnât have to see him again. But fate had other plans. "Kissmas in New York" It was just supposed to be a simple kiss with a stranger. I'd done it to prove a point - that I hadn't lost my sense of adventure. But you know what they say about the best laid plans. Maybe I'd get something in my stocking after all this holiday season....

But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn't expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry. For once Auburn takes a risk and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is keeping some major secrets from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it. The last thing Owen wants is to lose Auburn, but he can't seem to convince her that truth is sometimes as subjective as art. All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin.

Random Acts of Hope: Enemies to Lovers Second Chance Romantic Comedy
Summary
She dressed professionally, wearing a plum-colored fuzzy v-neck sweater that contoured to the swell of a rack I remembered so well, legs encased in a slim pencil skirt that embellished those creamy hips I could imagine naked with a flicker of memory, lips painted fire engine red and that maniac-inducing fifties pin-up girl look that Iâd dismissed as silly when the girls in college wore it - but that made her smoking hot. Down, boy. God damn! Charlotte, my ex-girlfriend, had to be here, of all places. At a bachelorette party where I was a stripper, dressed in a cop uniform with pants that suddenly got way too tight. And she had to be so fine. âOoooh, honey, youâre one big officer,â said a sultry voice behind me as I watched Charlotte in the other room, chatting with the bride. A hand stroked my hip and hesitated before sliding a bit lower, filling a palm with my ass. âArrest me, officer. Iâve been a bad, bad girl.â With one look at the source of the voice, my night went from oh, man! to oh, no! That voice? That hand? That was my mother. Random Acts of Hope is the fourth book in the romantic comedy Random series and features guitar player Liam McCarthy from the band in Random Acts of Crazy. Five years ago, Liam and his girlfriend Charlotte Greyson were deeply in love. When a betrayal eviscerates them both, each clings to their separate truths as an anchor to navigate the perfect storm.

The Naked Truth
Summary
From New York Times best-seller Vi Keeland comes a new, sexy stand-alone novel. It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought.... Until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch to. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man who crouched down and looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive was none other than my ex, Gray Westbrook - a man who I'd only just begun to move on from. A man who my heart despised - yet my body obviously still had other ideas about. A man who was as charismatic and confident as he was sexy. Somehow, I managed to make it through my presentation ignoring his intense stare. Although it was impossible to ignore all the dirty things he whispered into my ear right after I was done. But there was no way I was giving him another chance, especially now that he was a client...was there?

Hate Notes
Summary
Amazonâs #1 Most Unputdownable Book of the Year. An Amazon Charts bestseller. A Wall Street Journal bestseller. A Washington Post bestseller. From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes an unexpected love story of secondhand hearts and second chances... It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. Iâd gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. Thatâs when I found another brideâs âsomething old". Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message Iâd ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true. The name embossed on the blue stationery: Reed Eastwood, obviously the most romantic man who ever lived. I also discovered heâs the most gorgeous. If only my true-love fantasies had stopped there. Because Iâve since found out something else about Mr. Starry-Eyed. Heâs arrogant, cynical, and demanding. I should know. Thanks to a twist of fate, heâs my new boss. But thatâs not going to stop me from discovering the story behind his last love letter. A love letter that did not result in a happily ever after. But that story is nothing compared to the one unfolding between us. Itâs getting hotter, sweeter, and more surprising than anything I could have imagined. Something new. But I have no idea how this one is going to end...

Mister Tonight
Summary
From The New York Times best-selling author Kendall Ryan comes a stand-alone romance about a swoony, single dad and the quirky, new neighbor he falls for. Last night was the most embarrassing night of my life. I was THAT girl. You know, the highly intoxicated chick celebrating her 30th with her two best friends - the ones who are happily married. And the more I drank, the more I wanted to do something reckless to celebrate. By reckless, I meant the sexy and alluring man dressed in a business suit standing near the bar. You know his type - tall, dark, and handsome. I was sure he was out of my league, but I'd had just enough alcohol that things like that no longer seemed to matter. I'm not fat, mind you, but you can tell I like French fries, so there's that. He took me home, and I enjoyed the hottest birthday sex of my life, well, until it came to a screeching, and rather unwelcome halt. There's nothing quite like being interrupted mid-ride with a little voice asking:Â "What are you doing to my daddy?" Just kill me now...or so I thought. Come to find out the man I rode like a bull at the rodeo is my new landlord.Â

I became a woman I didn't recognize, someone riddled with jealousy, because they didn't know that - to me - he was much more. They didn't know about our past. He'd chosen my school for his son on purpose, because Mack and I, we had unfinished business. As my friend, Lorelai, so eloquently put it: "Unfinished business between two people who are clearly attracted to each other is like an eternal case of blue balls." And I was suffering in pain from my case. I was still intensely attracted to Mack. I tried to resist him, immersing myself further into a relationship with someone else just to protect my heart. Not to mention, getting involved with a parent was strictly against school rules. But seeing Mack day in and day out was breaking me down. And soon I might be breaking all the rules.

One, he was an immature jerk when he was in high school, and Candy Ray Sunshine probably could open a coffee shop if she put her mind to it. But he still thinks that she should shoot a little higher, anything that gets her the heck out of Kilgore, Texas. Two, he likes riding bulls. Itâs a dangerous job, and when he gets on the back of one of those thousand-pound death machines, he can finally feel his head clear enough that he can think. Candy and Banks would never get along. Not after what he said, and definitely not after what she did. Then again, neither one of them expected that night to end the way it did, either - the night that both of them refused to talk about the next morning.

Blind Kiss
Summary
From the national best-selling author of Before We Were Strangers, Swear on This Life, and Wish You Were Here comes a powerful story of two people who spend years denying their scientifically proven chemistry. Penny spends her afternoons sitting outside a sandwich shop, surrounded by ghosts. Fourteen years ago, this shop was her childhood dance studio - and she was a dancer on the rise. Now sheâs a suburban housewife, dreading the moment her son departs for MIT, leaving her with an impeccably decorated McMansion and a failing marriage. She had her chance at wild, stars-in-her-eyes happiness, but that was a lifetime ago. After The Kiss. Before The Decision. The Kiss was soulful. Magical. Earth-shattering. And it was all for a free gift card. Asked to participate in a psych study that posed the question âcan you have sexual chemistry without knowing what the other person looks like?â Penny agreed to be blindfolded, make polite conversation with a total stranger, and kiss him. She never expected The Kiss to change her life forever and introduce her to Gavin: tattooed, gorgeous, and spontaneous enough to ask her out seconds after the blindfolds came off. For a year, they danced between friendship and romance - until Penny made The Decision that forced them to settle for friendship. Now, 14 years later, both of their lives are about to radically change - and itâs his turn to decide what will become of their once-in-a-lifetime connection.Â

Even the move to Lawton, Alabama, couldn't draw Maggie back out. So she stayed quiet, keeping her sorrow and her fractured heart hidden away. As West's pain becomes too much to handle, he knows he needs to talk to someone about his father - so, in the dark shadows of a postgame party, he opens up to the one girl who he knows won't tell anyone else. West expected that talking about his dad would bring some relief or at least a flood of emotions he couldn't control. But he never expected the quiet new girl to reply, to reveal a pain even deeper than his own - or for them to form a connection so strong that he couldn't ever let her go....

Baby Daddy
Summary
A hot and hilarious new standalone from New York Times best seller Kendall Ryan We met in a trapped elevator. Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie. I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right? At 35, my life hadn't taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting - I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen. After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner - he also insisted on something else - that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy. He was a wealthy and powerful CEO with little interest in diapers or playdates. And since he didn't want kids, I'd be on my own once his bun was in my oven, free to go my own way. But once his baby was inside me, it was like a switch had been flipped, and I got a whole lot more than I ever bargained for. This full-length standalone contains a hot, swoon-worthy hero, lots of playful banter and some hot baby-making! Enjoy.

Summary
I swear I am not the kind of person who gets her cell phone caught in places that require an ER trip and an OBGYN. But apparently, I am.

But apparently, it does. And the drummer for the band, Sam Hinton, is the boy I loved in high school and who disappeared with my heart. Now heâs back, better than ever. Second chances arenât supposed to make scars disappear and hearts mend. But apparently, they can. If you trust enough. * * *Â Fate took their lives by storm four years ago and put an unbreachable gulf between Sam and Amy. Can time really heal all wounds...or are some scars too deep? The second book in the Random series (after New York Times and USA Today best seller Random Acts of Crazy), Random Acts of Trust is a romantic comedy that explores the love between one man and one woman and ends with one happily ever after (and no cliff-hangers or chickens!).

Always with You
Summary
I've always relished being a man of mystery. My LA hotel empire is public, but my private life as plain old Reid Davenport stays that way. Right up until it doesn't, and the tabloids threaten not just my privacy, but that of my family. I'd do anything to protect them from the limelight. But must it involve Hailey, the fiery PR consultant I can't stop fantasizing about? Hailey Connor keeps warning me she won't take on an uncooperative client. So why is she so compelled to help me? Maybe it's something about how her face softens when I talk about my family. Maybe it's because she genuinely wants to help. Or maybe it's my brooding demeanor that causes her to melt so fast when I kiss her. Even though I'm constantly infuriated by this little spitfire bossing me around, every time she smiles, I can't help wanting to pull her close and not let go. I think Hailey is starting to fall for me, despite being my polar opposite. But when our worlds collide, can I convince her we're a perfect match? For anything less than happily-ever-after.

At 30 he is the youngest CEO ever to head Bayou Enterprises, cochairing with his eldest brother.

But he's recently discovered that someone on the inside of his business is stealing from him, and he's determined to find out who. Kate O'Shaughnessy is hired by companies all over the world to slip inside and investigate every member of the organization, from the CEO down to the custodial staff, to find the person or persons responsible for embezzling.

Summary
From New York Times bestseller Kendall Ryan comes a *steamy forbidden standalone romance.* The first time we met was at a party. Your ex arrived to show off the person he'd left you for last month, and you asked me to pretend to be your date. I was more than happy to help. You were attractive, smart and witty--and that kiss we shared? It left me wanting you for days. The second time we met was in my office on campus where we were both surprised to discover you were the new masterâs degree student in poetry that I would be working with. You promised to be professional. I did no such thing. The late nights and intense study sessions spent alongside you majorly throw me off my game. I want you, and I fight with myself daily over this fact. I know I'm crass, that my sexual innuendos and dirty mouth annoy you, but I live for those two bright spots of color in your cheeks. If that's the only reaction I can get out of you, I'll gladly take it. You hate Mondays so every Monday I slip an anonymous poem into your bag and your smile gets me through the week. I think I'm falling for you, and I know it's wrong. I know that I'm only supposed to be the adviser to your program and nothing more, but here's the thing. I think you're falling for me too. xo, Zach

Random Acts of Fantasy
Summary
You ever really think that you'll win the lottery? Meet Mr. Right? How about two Mr. Rights? Somehow the universe is handing me everything I want (except for that lottery part...), and I don't like it. Not one little bit. Because just when you get all your dreams handed to you on a silver platter, that's when an airplane dumps its sewage on your house. Or your mama's diabetes takes a bad turn. Or your mobile phone gets stuck in your hoohaw. (What? It happens...) Boring old average me got everything I wanted already, moving from small-town Ohio to big-city Boston to follow my heart. So when the fancy invitation offering me a pile of money to come with the band, Random Acts of Crazy, to perform on an island resort and be their manager arrived, I thought it was a cosmic joke. Enough money to help my mama get what she needed, five days in sunny paradise, and a shot at greatness for the band? Unreal. One big shoe was waiting to drop. On my head. Just like no one really ever finds a naked man wearing only a guitar standing by the side of the road hitchhiking and ends up falling in love with him and his friend and moving halfway across the country for true love, no one gets an invitation to come to what turns out to be a resort where people make what me and Joe and Trevor do together look like a chaste peck on the cheek. But...Well. I guess these things do happen. To me.

Not even one overpaid, arrogant player who thinks weâre going to kiss and make up. News flash, buddy: I am over you.

In this novella, Will Sumner and Hanna Bergstrom (from Beautiful Player) find that a wedding and everlasting love were just the beginning. One Player tamed. One nerd girl satisfied. And one more major life decision to make. When Will fell for Hanna, her quirky sense of humor and fierce dedication to her career were part of the attraction.

But when the job offers start rolling in for her - and oh, they do - Hanna has trouble deciding what she wants, where they should live, and how much she should burden Will with the decision. Magic between the sheets is only one part of a relationship...getting on the same page is quite another altogether.Â

Throb
Summary
From New York Times and USA Today best seller Vi Keeland comes a steamy new romance novel. The rules: No dating. No sex outside of the game. No disclosing the terms of the contract. Rules were made to be broken, right? Eight weeks ago I signed a contract.

I had to follow the script and avoid dating, sex, or disclosing the terms of the deal. After my self-imposed moratorium on men last year, it wouldn't be hard to live up to my end of the bargain...or so I thought. Then I realized the deal I'd made was with the devil...and I was in love with his dirty-talking brother. Author's note - Throb is a full-length standalone audiobook.

The Rebellion
Summary
New York Times best-selling author, S.L. Scott, brings a unique twist to the rock-star genre along with a soul-searing romance. I got over Jaymes Grenier no problem. I never think about that little bow at the top of her pink lips, or the way her green eyes admired mine. Nope, I barely recall the way she fit so perfectly in my arms when I held her at night. The sweet way she would whisper she loved me has long faded from memory. These are the lies I regularly tell myself in hopes of believing them one day. Yeah, I was told I'd get over my first love. I didn't. Derrick Masters marked me the moment we met back in ninth grade. He called me over - all bravado and bad boy mystery wrapped in a James Dean-esque package. Dark hair, blue eyes and a rebel without a cause charisma. He was everything I was warned about, but I couldn't resist. I was his from that moment on. His career took off almost as soon as he did. I knew it would. I just thought I would be by his side as his partner in crime, best friend, and forever. These days, I don't have the luxury of letting my head live in the lure of La La Land. His dreams may have come true, but mine were extinguished. It's not just about me anymore, but something bigger, better than we were ever meant to be. Derrick's dreams come crashing back into my reality, making me wonder if this is our second chance at a fairy tale ending or another heartbreak in the making?

The Sexy One
Summary
From the NYT best-selling author of Mister O, comes a sexy new standalone romance. Let me count the ways why falling into forbidden love is not my wisest move: 1.She works with me every single day. Did I mention she's gorgeous, sweet, kind, and smart? 2.She works in my home. Playing with my five-year-old daughter. Teaching my little girl. Cooking for my princess. Which means... 3.She's the nanny. And that makes her completely off-limits. But it doesn't stop me from wanting her. All of her. The other nannies in this city don't call him the Sexy One for nothing. My boss, the amazingly wonderful single father to the girl I take care of every day is ridiculously hot, like movie star levels with those arms, and those eyes, and that body. Not to mention the way he dotes on his little girl melts me all over. But what really makes my knees weak are the times when his gaze lingers on me. In secret. When no one else is around. I can't risk my job for a chance at something more, can I? But I don't know how to resist him much longer either.

What He Doesn't Know
Summary
On the northeast side of town, there is a house. The house was once magical, filled with love and joy and plans for the future. Inside its walls are many things that belong to me - my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me. And a man. A man who also belongs to me. A man I no longer wish to keep. A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising. Because the house where he waits is where I laid my head to rest every night for eight years. Until last night. No one who knows me would believe Charlie Pierce, the quiet, bookish girl who never made waves, is pulling out of the driveway of a man who isnât her husband. But they donât know me at all. I donât even know me. Not anymore. They say there are two sides to every story, and I suppose in most cases, thatâs true. But the one I live inside of? It has three. On the northeast side of town, there is a house. But there is no longer a home.

Mister O
Summary
Just call me Mister O. Because your pleasure is my superpower. Making a woman feel "oh god that's good" is the name of the game, and if a man can't get the job done, he should get the hell out of the bedroom. I'm talking toe-curling, mind-blowing, sheet-grabbing ecstasy. Like I provide every time. I suppose that makes me a superhero of pleasure, and my mission is to always deliver. Sure, I've got an addiction to giving, but step right up, and you'll also find a man with a hot exterior, a kickass job, a razor-sharp wit, and a heart of gold. Yeah, life is good.... And then I'm thrown for a loop when a certain woman asks me to teach her everything about how to win a man. The only problem? She's my best friend's sister, but she's far too tempting to resist - especially when I learn that sweet, sexy Harper has a dirty mind, too, and wants to put it to good use. What could possibly go wrong as I give the woman I've secretly wanted some no-strings-attached lessons in seduction? No one will know, even if we send a few dirty sexts. Okay, a few hundred. Or if the zipper on her dress gets stuck. Not on that! Or if she gives me those f--k-me eyes on the train in front of her whole family. The trouble is the more nights I spend with her in bed, the more days I want to spend with her out of bed. And for the first time ever, I'm not only thinking about how to make a woman cry out in pleasure - I'm thinking about how to keep her in my arms for a long time to come. Looks like the real adventures of Mister Orgasm have only just begun....

Neanderthal Marries Human: A Smarter Romance
Summary
There are three things you should know about Quinn Sullivan: 1) He is madly in love with Janie Morris 2) He's not above playing dirty to get what (or who) he wants 3) He doesn't know how to knit. After just five months of dating Janie, Quinn - former Wendell and unapologetic autocrat - is ready to propose marriage. In fact he's more than ready. If it were up to Quinn, he would efficiently propose, marry, and beget Janie with child all in the same day - thereby avoiding the drama and angst that accompanies the four stages of prematrimony: engagement; meeting the parents; bachelor/bachelorette party; and overblown, superfluous wedding day traditions. But Janie, much to Quinn's dismay, tosses a wrench in his efficacious endeavors and challenges him to prove his devotion by going through the matrimonial motions, no matter how minute and mundane. Will Quinn last until the wedding day? Or will he yield to his tyrant impulses? Regardless, one thing is for certain: Quinn Sullivan will have to learn to expect the Spanish Inquisition (i.e., the unexpected) if he plans to have and keep Janie Morris as his wife. You must listen to Neanderthal Seeks Human first before listening to this book. This book is written in first person with alternating POVs (Janie Morris and Quinn Sullivan, but more Janie than Quinn).

Summary
I've got a big dick and an even bigger bank account. That's pretty much where my bio ends. Honestly, I don't need to say anything else. I've just sold 99 percent of women on going home with me. Do I sound like an asshole to you? That's because I am. And guess what? It works for me just fine. Or at least it did...until I met her. Books talk about sparks flying. F--k that shit. With her, it was like emergency flares mixed with jet fuel. Or maybe just straight up napalm. Only one problem: She wouldn't tell me her name or her number when she disappeared from the hotel room after the hottest f--king night of my life. Now I've had a taste of unicorn pussy - the sweetest, rarest of all pussy - and I need it again. So what's an asshole to do? I took this problem to the street, a missed connection gone viral. And when I find her? I'm keeping her.

Summary
A Dragon Shifter Novel Torrent took part in the much-anticipated hunt. Luckily, he managed to secure himself a female. Although the human was not his first choice, she'll do. A fertile female is a fertile female after all. An heir is what he needs and an heir is what she'll give him. In return, she'll get to be queen of the water kingdom.

So what if he's really good looking and that underneath all that bristling, alpha male is a sweet guy. Although sweet is probably not the right description for the savage, water king. The only thing he's interested in is mating her, so that she can pop out lots of dragon shifter babies. Well, no thanks! She's not interested. As soon as she's able to get that through his thick skull, she's out of there. Torrent promised her she could leave if things didn't work out between them and she plans on holding him to his word. This book can be listened to as a standalone but would be best enjoyed as a part of the series. (Start with Chosen by the Vampire Kings.)

A Harmless Little Ruse
Summary
She has no idea what sheâs doing. Loose cannons never hit their targets, and they take out plenty of collateral damage. Four years ago, Lindsay experienced the unspeakable right before me, and I couldnât stop them. But thatâs all changed now. When her father, Senator Bosworth, contacted me to ask - demand - that I protect her, it was a second chance. A shot at redemption. An opportunity to right an unspeakable wrong. Controlling Lindsay as she seeks her revenge on the monsters who hurt her wonât be hard. Containing my own out-of-control feelings for Lindsay and keeping up this ruse of cold-blooded distance will be; even harder than admitting to her what really happened that night four years ago. It turns out I donât have to, though. Someone else did it for me. And Iâll make sure they regret it. A Harmless Little Ruse is the second audiobook in this political thriller/romantic suspense trilogy by USA Today best-selling author Meli Raine and is entirely from Drewâs perspective.

Candy Boys
Summary
Joel and Jethro. Roommates. Total hunks. Inseparable friends. Hot as hell. Meet my fantasy boyfriends. Aren't they just the sexiest, cutest thing? I know, right? They totally are. They are hot, too hot for a quiet - and obsessed with them - girl working in a bookshop. That'd be me, by the way. There's also the tiny problem of Joel wanting another girl. And as for Jethro, well...he doesn't do girls. Or maybe he doesn't do relationships. He certainly doesn't do boys, so he isn't doing his best and very male friend...right? Much less his male friend and me at the same time. So it's fine to crush on them. And write a serial story on my blog in which we are together. All three of us. Whew. I mean, it's okay. It's perfectly safe. They'll never even know I exist, much less find out about my blog and my secret fantasy about them. Right? Yeah, that's what I thought, too. Warning: This book contains two super-hot boys and a nerdy, funny girl who has the hots for them. Warning 2: This book may set you on fire. Handle with caution. Warning 3: This book is funny, and dark, and angsty. It is not a love triangle. It is a relationship between three people with a happy ending. Candy Boys is a stand-alone, full-length romance with an HEA.

The epic finale in the What He Doesn't Know duet. Left or right. Itâs that simple, and it isnât simple at all. If I turn left, the road will lead me back to the man I promised my life to, the one Iâd imagined building a family with, the one whoâs done everything in his power to get me back. If I turn right, the road will take me to the man I loved first, the man who brought me back to life, the man who would do anything to keep me.  I knew the fork in the road was inevitable; it was the decision I never wanted to make between choices I didn't know I had. And I love them both.  My heart is destined to exist in two equal halves - one with each man. But one half beats stronger, the vein running deepest, and holds my choice in silence long before I know it for myself. The realization of what I have to do, of the heart I have to break, just might break mine, too.  Left or right. All I have to do is take a breath and turn.

Summary
A new, sexy stand-alone from number-one New York Times best-seller Vi Keeland. When I first encountered Ford Donovan, I had no idea who he was...well, other than the obvious. Young, gorgeous, successful, smart. Did I mention young? If I did, it bears repeating. Ford Donovan was too young for me. Letâs back up to how it all started. My best friend decided I needed to start dating again. So, without my knowledge, she set up a profile for me on a popular dating site - one that invited men ages 21 to 27 to apply for a date. Those nicknamed Cunnilingus King were told theyâd go straight to the top for consideration. The profile wasnât supposed to go live. Another point that bears repeating - it wasnât supposed to. Nevertheless, thatâs how I met Ford, and we started messaging. He made me laugh; yet I was adamant that because of his age, we could only be friends. But after weeks of wearing me down, I finally agreed to one date only - my first after 20 years of being with my high school sweetheart. I knew it couldnât last, but I was curious about him. Though, you know what they say...curiosity kills the cat. My legs wobbled walking into the restaurant. Ford was seated at the bar. When he turned around, he took my breath away. His sexy smile nearly melted my panties. Butâ¦he looked so familiar. As I got closer I realized why. He was the son of the neighbor at our familyâs summer home. The boy next door. Only nowâ¦he was all man. I hadnât seen him in years. I left the restaurant and planned to put the entire crazy thing behind me. Which I did. Until summer came. And guess who decided to use his familyâs summer home this year?

Well Hung
Summary
From the NYT bestselling author of Mister O, comes a hot and hilarious new standalone. Here's what you need to know about me - I'm well-off, well-hung, and quick with a joke. Women like a guy who makes them laugh - and I don't mean at the size of his you-know-what. No, they want their funny with a side of huge, not to mention loyal. I've got all that plus a big bank account, thanks to my booming construction business. Yup. I know how to use all my tools. Enter Natalie. Hot, sexy, smart, and my new assistant. Which makes her totally off limits...Hey, I'm a good guy. Really. I do my best to stay far away from the kind of temptation she brings to work. Until one night in Vegas...Yeah, you've heard this one before. Bad news on the business front, drowning our sorrows in a few too many Harvey Wallbangers, and then I'm banging her. In my hotel room. In her hotel room. Behind the Titanic slot machine at the Flamingo (don't ask). And before I can make her say "Oh God, right there, YES!" one more time, we're both saying yes - the big yes - at a roadside chapel in front of a guy in press-on sideburns and a shiny gold leisure suit. But it turns out what happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas. And now my dick doesn't stay in my pants when she's around. But the more we try to keep our hands to ourselves, the more we end up naked again, and the more time I want to spend with her fully clothed, too. The question is...do I take this woman to be my ex-wife?

Listen to Me
Summary
In New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Kristen Proby's brand-new series, five best friends open a hot new restaurant, but one of them gets much more than she bargained for when a sexy former rock star walks through the doors - and into her heart. Seduction is quickly becoming the hottest new restaurant in Portland, and Addison Wade is proud to claim one-fifth of the credit. She's determined to make it a success and can't think of a better way to bring in new customers than live music. But when former rock star Jake Keller swaggers through the doors to apply for the weekend gig, she knows she's in trouble. Addie instantly recognizes him - his posters were plastered all over her bedroom walls in high school - and he's all bad boy...exactly her type and exactly what she doesn't need. Jake Keller walked away from the limelight five years ago and yearns to return to what's always driven him: the music. If he gets to work for a smart-mouthed, funny-as-hell bombshell, all the better. But talking Addie into giving him the job is far easier than persuading her that he wants more than a romp in her bed. Just when she begins to drop her walls, Jake's past finally catches up with him. Will Addie be torn apart once again, or will Jake be able to convince her to drown out her doubts and listen to her heart?

And if the truth comes out, it may erase their love along with all the lies.

Turning Back
Summary
I lived in the dark for three years. My whole world revolved around the whims and happiness of three men. It was just a trip into the forbidden. A way out of a bad situation and forward into nothingness. Quin, with his easy smile and charming good looks. He was always there for me...until he wasn't. Smith and his dispassionate attention. He was never there for me and he never regretted it. Bric, the one who listened, but only to himself. Self-absorbed, self-obsessed, and self-serving. He was never the one I wanted. And now he might be the only one I have left. It was good while it lasted, I guess. But it could've been so much more. It could've been so much better. And that's why I'm turning back.

Candy Ever After
Summary
"Candy, why is your bed so big?" "...to fit my two boyfriends when we snuggle together at night." Only that's my father asking, staring at the bed in question. Oops. So yeah. Unruly Jethro and cocky Joel are now officially my boyfriends. My Candy Boys. I moved in with them, and I expected things to be tense, awkward. I was wrong. This feels so right, and, well, hot. These boys are so hot. But with college starting, Jethro returning to work at the bookshop, and Joel planning to start his own business, everything's shifting. Not to forget the fact that Joel still hasn't confronted his parents about our relationship, that Jethro is still recovering from his dad's brutal attack, and that I feel insecure, well... Wait a sec. Insecure? Come on, Candy. That's BS. These boys love you. Yeah, I know. The boys and me, we're solid. However, doubt still lingers. I mean, Joel's parents hate each other. Jethro's dad killed his mom, for chrissakes - and my mom has acquired a sudden interest in sex toys and escort services. So I wonder if true love really exists. Love that doesn't fade over time. You know, the kind that withstands nightmares and bad jokes, unwashed dishes in the sink, and lack of lube. Yeah, that happened. These boys own me. They're sweet, sexy, and caring - but will they break my heart, or is this our happily ever after? Note: This is not a stand-alone audiobook. It is the epilogue to Candy Boys (Book One).

Random Acts of Crazy
Summary
I never intended to pick up a naked hitchhiker wearing nothing but a guitar. A guitar. Really. I don't collect guys like that (don't ask what kind of guys I do collect), but when you spot a blond, tanned, sculpted man with a gorgeous smile and his thumb poking up and practically begging you to stop - you stop. And I definitely never thought I'd be staring into the bright blue eyes of Trevor Connor, the lead singer for Random Acts of Crazy, an indie rock star I followed like the slobbering fileshare fangirl I am. How he came to be nude and lost 600 miles from home is quite the tale, but how we fell in love is even more unreal. Because someone like Trevor Connor, headed to Harvard Law next year, isn't supposed to want someone like me, a rural Ohio chick majoring in boredom at Convenience Store University who is all curves and frizzy blonde hair and manners so unpolished they have sharp edges that make you bleed. But he did. When his best friend, Joe Ross, the bass player for Random Acts of Crazy and a man who makes Calvin Klein models look like Shrek, drove 11 hours through the night to rescue him, though, it got real complicated. It's one thing to like two different guys and be torn. What do you do, though, when maybe - just maybe - you don't have to choose? Random Acts of Crazy (a New York Times and USA Today best seller) is a stand-alone, full-length novel that explores issues of identity for the three main characters and doesn't shy away from mature content. Plus, Darla has a sailor's mouth. Be warned. Be ready. But most of all - prepare to be random.Â

She wants a no-strings summer fling, but she needs someone she can trust. A puck buddy who isnât going to get overly emotional. Someone whoâs as savvy in the sack as he is on the ice. Thatâs where I come in. Itâs a simple request, really - and one I would be happy to honor. If it werenât for the whole life-and-death thing. If I hadnât just been traded to a team thousands of miles away from this girl who makes me think not all relationships are a losing game. If I wasnât already crazy in love with her. This arrangement is a disaster waiting to happen, but the heart wants what it wants, and mine wants Bree, danger and all. Puck Buddies is a sexy, stand-alone romantic comedy from USA Today best seller Lili Valente.

She's the devil and an angel all in one fiery little package. I decide I'll wait her out. She'll go back to the city. Only suddenly I don't want her to leave, and everything Iâve settled for in my life isn't enough. I want to play ball and I want her, but there's that secret that won't let go, but neither will she.
