In a Holidaze
Summary
The instant New York Times best seller One Christmas wish, two brothers, and a lifetime of hope are on the line for hapless Maelyn Jones in In a Holidaze, the quintessential holiday romantic novel by Christina Lauren, the New York Times best-selling author of The Unhoneymooners. Itâs the most wonderful time of the year...but not for Maelyn Jones. Sheâs living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions. But perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world - the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. Show me what will make me happy. The next thing she knows, tires screech and metal collides, everything goes black. But when Mae gasps awake...sheâs on an airplane bound for Utah, where she begins the same holiday all over again. With one hilarious disaster after another sending her back to the plane, Mae must figure out how to break free of the strange time loop - and finally get her true love under the mistletoe. Jam-packed with yuletide cheer, an unforgettable cast of characters, and Christina Laurenâs trademark âdownright hilariousâ (Helen Hoang, author of The Bride Test) hijinks, this swoon-worthy romantic listen will make you believe in the power of wishes and the magic of the holidays.

Hot Heir
Summary
If I had to pick a bride of convenience, my first choice would not be Peach Maloney. My 50th choice would not be Peach. Top spot on my list of occupational hazards? Yes. Royal pain in the crumpets? Yes. A bride of convenience? No. But I've unexpectedly gone from royal bodyguard to monarch, having inherited a crown that was stolen from my family long before my birth. The kicker of this unexpected royal gift? In order to take the throne, I must find a wife. Have I mentioned Peach would not have been my hundredth choice? But I've no other options, and she needs a favor that my new position can fulfill quite nicely. So we've agreed to play the doting newlyweds out in public. In private, though, our rules are simple: No touching. No talking. And certainly no sex. I should have known better than to marry a rule-breaker. Contains mature themes.

Angles of Attack
Summary
The galaxy follows a logical structure. Legion Dark Operator Kel Turner believed that. To know the order of battle and how an enemy unit was organized was to know its purpose and how to destroy it. That logic existed down to the smallest scale, down to what made up life itself. To know a moleculeâs structure was to know its function - they were one and the same. It was no different for Kel. He was Dark Ops and Dark Ops was him. Down to his last cell and very soul. But the covert action arm of the Legion is changing. And so is he. And if Dark Ops is no longer the same, how could Kel be Kel? From fighting a gray war against a cunning adversary bent on genocide, to slogging through a jungle hell full of rabid dog-men, Kel won't stop until the mission is complete. Kel was the mission. But if the day comes when there would no longer be a Dark Ops for Kel, what would his mission be then? Who would he become?

The Fortunate Ones
Summary
Every day, he stood exactly where he was directed. He listened for his number, shouted his answer in the freezing cold. He was ragged, and he was starving, but he was alive. He was one of the fortunate ones whom fate had left standing. And he needed to stay that way. For Hannah. Berlin, 1941. Felix Thalberg, a printerâs apprentice, has the weight of the world on his shoulders. His beloved city is changing under Nazi rule, and at home things are no better - Felixâs father hasnât left the house since he was forced to wear a yellow star, and his mother grows thinner every day. Then one night, Felix meets a mysterious young woman in a crowded dance hall, and his life is changed forever. Hannah is like a rush of fresh air into his gloomy, stagnant life, and Felix finds himself instantly, powerfully infatuated with her. But when he tries to find her again, sheâs vanished without a trace. Was Hannah taken away by the Gestapo and held prisoner...or worse? When Felix himself is imprisoned in Sachsenhausen concentration camp, his thoughts are only for her safety. And when a life-threatening injury lands him on the ward of Dr. Max Eichel - a Nazi medical officer with a sadistic reputation - his love for his lost Hannah sees him through the pain. Until one day, Dr. Eichel brings his pretty, young wife to tour the camp, and Felixâs world is thrown off-kilter. Framed in the hospital window, he sees - impossibly - the same girl he met that fateful night...her wrist in the vice-like grip of the deathly calm SS Officer.

A gripping and beautiful wartime love story about two people facing impossible odds - heartbreaking, moving, and unforgettable.

His father had pulled a few strings and landed him a henchman position in hopes he could make something of himself. Before he's barely gotten used to the job, Gus narrowly escapes the base's destruction and is chucked at the planet below.

Summary

Spells of Iron and Bone
Summary
Magick is real. It's also highly illegal - not that I'm worried about that. Sure, I heal faster than most, and I've got a sixth sense for brewing tea that can fix just about any problem, but my cafe isn't exactly a hotbed of paranormal activity. At least it wasn't...until some psycho attacked me and woke up the freaky, forbidden magick inside, earning me a one-way ticket to jail. Now, a covert magickal university is offering me a deal: my freedom in exchange for help with the Tarot prophecies - cryptic predictions they believe hold the key to stopping a deadly apocalyptic plot. Predictions only I can decipher. Because the witch who divined them? She died years ago. I should know. She was my mother. Grab your grimoires, girls. Magick school's officially in session. All I have to do now is master my crazy powers, decode the doomsday prophecies, outwit a mean-girl coven that puts the psycho in psychic, and survive the temptations of one very naughty professor and three scorching-hot, overprotective mages shadowing my every move. There's only one problem. If I'm right about the prophecies? Survival isn't in the cards for any of us. Contains mature themes.

Insatiable
Summary
I didnât mean to see him naked - it was an accident. It had to be, right? Because Noah McCormick and I have never been anything more than friends. In all the years Iâve known him, heâs never once laid a finger on me. And even though he was a cute lifeguard at 16 and a hotter-than-hell sheriffâs deputy at 34, he's always been that protective guy I could trust to keep his hands to himself. I never wanted to mess with that. Until I walked in on him getting out of the shower and saw his hard, muscular body totally bare and dripping wet. At that moment I never wanted to mess with anything so badly in my entire life. I should have covered my eyes. Said I was sorry. At the very least, I could have handed him a towel. After all, I was only in town for a few days, and he was just doing me a favor by escorting me to my sisterâs wedding. It wasnât a real date. But I didnât apologize. And he didnât cover up. (Talk about a hot mess.) After all those years of being just friends, suddenly weâre insatiable. Heâs made it clear heâs not interested in romance. Which is fine with me because Iâve got a plane ticket back to my real life at the end of the week. Itâs all in fun...or is it?

Christmas will soon be here, and with it the second trial of the Acquisition. Full disclosure: This book is a dark romance with elements of slavery, violence, BDSM, and super-hot sex.

Cocky Captain
Summary
Ex-fighter pilot Logan Reid is exactly the kind of man I despise. Heâs a cocky jet jock, a former Navy Blue Angel, and full of all the arrogance that comes with being the best of the best.  Iâm an ex-Zoomie, an Air Force tanker pilot. The rivalry between our sister services is nothing compared to that between fighter jocks and tanker pilots. Weâre bitter rivals, and Iâm low-man (woman) on the totem pole.  The last thing I need is to spend six hours at 35,000 feet locked in a cockpit with the cocky captain. But I have no choice. Iâm his copilot, and weâre taking the CEO of Montague Enterprises and his family on a mini-vacation to the Grand Caymans.  We have three days on the ground before we fly back. Three long days in paradise, and he wants to spend them all with me.  I have a thing for fighter pilots. It isnât animosity, exactly, but rather a deep-seated dislike. They get all the glory while the rest of us sit at the butt end of their jokes and wither beneath their ridicule. I hate fighter pilots. There, I said it. I hate the arrogant pricks with a passion.  But after one look into those magnetic eyes, and the devastating wink that follows, Iâm thinking of throwing caution to the wind. What harm can come from some innocent flirting? Besides, itâs not as if my job is at risk.  Iâm not prepared for the air to sizzle when heâs close. Iâm not ready for our explosive chemistry when he touches my skin. Iâm not equipped for the fallout when our three days come to an end. And I never expected to fall in love.  But all good things come to an end. I wasnât prepared when I walked away. And I wasnât ready for what came next.  Heâs arrogant. Heâs cocky. Heâs determined to get what he wants. And heâs refuses to let this end. Heâs fighting for a forever...with me.  But, Iâm not ready for our beginning. Heâs arrogant enough to prove me wrong.

He also needs a nanny. Sold. My signature cupcakes aren't the sweetest thing in this small town anymore. Not when his cold shoulder thaws. Not when our nights unravel me.

However, Lisa's trail goes cold at Daltonâs, which is owned by a world-famous bouncer, Miles Carvello - six feet four inches of muscle, tattoos, and swagger. Combined with his intense green-eyed gaze, Miles makes my insides sizzle. Iâm just not sure if Miles Carvello is the reason sheâs hiding out or not. Danger seems to surround him. How does a former Broadway hoofer wind up in Vegas as a stripper? Iâm about to find out, since no one will talk to me because Iâm an outsider. And besides, Miles thinks Iâm too much of a prude to do it. I need to find my sister. Sheâs in trouble. I can feel it. I keep running into the bachelor party as well as Miles while I'm out searching for her. And while both of them are a good time, they're not getting me any closer to finding Lisa. And I've got a terrible feeling that her time is running out. Â *** I donât remember Jackie Mitchellâs sister. Just another stripper with baggage in a long line of them. But Jackie? Damn, sheâs the real deal. I donât want to get distracted. I need to shoot this club into the stratosphere. I owe it to my uncleâs memory not to let the gangsters win. But she oozes sensuality that reminds me that I should take time to enjoy the finer things in life - like her long, toned legs wrapped around my shoulders. However, the demons of my past are pushing into my future. If theyâre going after my employees, as a way to get to me - they picked the wrong guy to mess with. And if they touch Jackie, all bets are off, and Iâll put them in the ground - and to hell with the consequences. Tough Guy takes place a year before the events of Cocky Bastard and features a few appearances by our favorite Aussie soccer player, Chance Bateman, before he meets the love of his life, Aubrey.

But things change - people change - and lately, the party life isnât doing it for him. Enter Amelia Hale. Cooper doesnât see her coming.

Sheâs had one hell of a day, and a little kissing lesson by Cooper is bound to make her feel better.

Harry Potter meets Percy Jackson. On their 18th birthday, everyone in the world receives a Shadowbox - a magic box that is a gift like no other...because, itâs a gift from the gods.

My name is Melany Richmond, and for my entire life, Iâve been an outcast - an orphan tossed around like a ship in a storm. I donât think that gods really exist. I never even received my Shadowbox when I turned 18. Maybe, because nobody knows my true birth date or because not even the gods care about me. After all, I'm a blue-haired rebel and a troublemaker with tattoos all over my arms. Iâm not like Callie Demos, the beautiful blondie living in the huge estate my adopted mother takes care of.

Cole
Summary
I shouldn't have remembered him. He was just a guy who walked through a restaurant. I didn't know his name. We never made eye contact. There was no connection between us at all. But I could feel him. The tingle down my spine. The command in his presence. The snap of tension in the air around him. That was the first time I saw him, and I was captivated. The second time was different. He was in the mysterious back elevator of my apartment building. Our eyes met for a fleeting second before the doors closed, and I was staggered. My breath was robbed. My senses on high alert. My body hummed. That was just the beginning. He was the leader of the mafia. I was about to fall in love with him, and his name...Cole Mauricio.

Spells of Breath and Blade
Summary
I spent my whole life believing magick was a curse - and that I didn't have enough of it to worry about, anyway. Turns out I was wrong on both counts. I'm so much more than a magick-blessed Academy student. I'm an Arcana Witch, bound to a sacred order whose sole duty is to protect magick - and one another - at all costs. Thankfully, I'm not alone. My Arcana magick brought four fiercely loyal, impossibly sexy Arcana mages into my life. But it also brought trouble. Corrupt Academy officials. Mysterious attacks stripping students of their power. And the terrifying Dark Arcana - five insanely powerful ancient beings desperate to reclaim the magick they believe is their sole birthright...and destroy the rest of us. Our best shot at defeating them is to track down the hidden Arcana artifacts - sacred Tarot relics that bind and balance all magick. But to do that, we'll have to embark on a dangerous otherworldly journey - one that will change us in ways even the Tarot can't predict. Surviving my first month at Arcana Academy was no easy feat, but compared to what's coming? That was training day. This is the real deal. And the fight is just beginning. Contains mature themes.

All About the D
Summary
Temptation has never come in a hotter package. You know how people say you can never believe what you read on the interwebs? That a hot guy online is probably a creeper with a beer gut and a shoe fetish, not the sexy beast he pretends to be? So I had no clue that the anonymous blogger who contacted my law firm about his naughty website would be droolworthy in real life. Not that I'm interested in him in that way. Attorneys can't go around sleeping with their clients. Not even if he is the most beautiful man I've ever met and so ridiculously smart he makes my nerdy-girl heart sigh. Besides, he has too much on the line to risk taking a chance on the insane chemistry building between us. We both do. I've always followed the rules. Too bad he makes me want to break each and every one of them.

Hear Me Out
Summary
Fear keeps the truth away from his brothers. Fear and pain keeps him away from the man he loves.  Hawks MC member Maddox "Beast" Lawson had a difficult time growing up. Tired of being ridiculed because of his effed-up brain-to-mouth connection, it was easier to say nothing at all.

Licking, fingering, screwing, he'll take it any way it's offered. After one surprising night with Beast, to say he's freaked out is an understatement. Hell, even bananas have taken on a new meaning, and thinking about a certain someone's body is too much. Unable to think straight, Knife is at an impasse, not only with his traitorous desire but with his heart.   Both lives are going to change. Only will it be for the better?  Contains mature themes.

Guts & Glory: Hunter
Summary
When what should be a simple assignment becomes a whole lot more... For Hunter, what should be an easy job of finding another veteranâs long-lost brother has turned up nothing but dead ends. Even worse, it uncovered problems his team thought had long since been buried. Down to his last lead, he tracks down a woman who has his protective instincts kicking in for reasons he canât fully understand. While her expressive dark eyes and generous curves catch his attention, itâs her fiery temper that holds it. Back in her hometown, hiding from a man who almost destroyed her life, Frankieâs thrown off-guard when a bossy bearded stranger shows up looking for information on the biker sheâd rather forget. And heâs not taking no for an answer. With more to protect than herself now, she knows firsthand what can happen when you place your trust in the wrong person, but something about the former Green Beret has her not only letting him into her home but also her heart. Hunterâs determined to complete his mission and keep Frankie safe - no matter the cost. Though he didnât expect that cost to also involve his heart. Note: Hunter is the third book of the Guts & Glory series, a six-book spin-off from my Dirty Angels MC series. While itâs recommended to hear both series in order, each book can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. As with all my books, this has an HEA, no cliffhanger or cheating.

What she definitely doesn't need on her road to recovery are Eve's efforts to fix her up with their mysterious and alluring neighbor, Luke Benson - even if he is incredibly handsome and desirable. Just as Maggie starts to get comfortable in her new surroundings, a car tries to run her down in the middle of the street. If it weren't for Luke's extremely quick reflexes, Maggie could have been killed, leading her to wonder just who exactly Luke Benson really is.... Luke thought he'd left the violence of the high-risk security world behind. But he can't stand by while Maggie's life is threatened. Luke will do anything to keep her safe - even moving Maggie and her sister into his house with its state-of-the-art security features. But with the secrets between them and an unknown threat stalking her heels, Luke will have to think fast to prove to Maggie she can trust him with her life - and with her heart.

Party
Summary
It's Saturday night in Santa Barbara and it seems like everyone is headed to the same destination. The reason is simple: To celebrate the end of school. But for eleven different people the motives are bit more complicated - to be noticed, to hook up, to make friends, to numb the pain, to get over an ex, to say goodbye. As each character takes a turn and tells his/her story, the eleven individuals intersect, reconnect, and combine in ways that none of them ever saw coming. Combine the poignancy of Thirteen Reasons Why with the energy of films like American Graffiti, Dazed and Confused, and Sixteen Candles and you get Party - a sneak peek into the lives of contemporary teens over the course of a single night. Alternating points of view and the timeless setting of an end-of-school party make this a compelling listen. Those who download it cannot stop listening.
