Rhi Edgerly has never been one for long-term relationships—occasional flings and on-again, off-again boyfriends more than enough for her. But with her twenty-fifth birthday on the horizon, she finds the thrill wearing off and is toying with the idea of something more serious. But the only one she can imagine spending her life with is her roommate and lifelong best friend, Levi. Between his demanding tech job, a never-ending string of one-night stands, and regular party host duties, confirmed bachelor Levi Morris is getting tired. His job feels like a chore and he finds himself just going through the motions with everyone but Rhi. When a killer job opportunity lands in his lap, he has to decide whether he wants to stay with Rhi in Indianapolis or move back home to Bryton. Rhi and Levi know they’ll be friends for the rest of their lives. But after a few bad dates, an almost kiss, and a new job two hours away, will they risk their almost twenty year friendship to see what kind of soulmates they truly are? Not So Suddenly Soulmates is a friends-to-lovers new adult rom-com with a lot of laughs, plenty of eye rolls, and a little bit of island vacation heat. This stand-alone book is set in the And Then Came Love world from Ellen Wilder and Amber Root.
One woman. Two men. Too many passive-aggressive sticky notes. Hilary Brandt has her hands full juggling a demanding job as an event planner, a flair-for-the-dramatic assistant, a Houdini-level escape-artist cat, and a roommate who treats bath bombs like sacred rituals. She’s doing fine—aside from that awkward almost-romance with her swoony neighbor Neal and the condo board president who seems to have it out for her…and her takeout habit. So when she’s gently coerced into running for condo board president, Hilary figures it’s just one more thing to manage. How hard could it be? (Spoiler: very.) Between sabotage-by-memo, mysteriously disappearing deliveries, and a campaign full of more drama than a reality TV finale, Hilary’s life turns into a three-ring circus. And that’s before the love triangle heats up. Now, with her career teetering, her love life on blast, and chaos erupting on every floor, Hilary must decide: play nice—or play to win?

She lived her whole life enslaved to the dragons. But now she's one of them. Seventeen-year-old Kaida, a human, has spent her entire life enslaved to the dragons who slaughtered half the human population a thousand years ago. She is forced to serve her ruthless Master, Eklos, until one deadly summer day when the Prince of Elysia saves her life. Prince Tarrin steals her away to the Royal Palace, shocking Kaida when he reveals that she is mutator formarum. He promises her safety, but when they uncover a dangerous conspiracy to rid Elysia of the Royal Family, she begins to question how safe she truly is. And when desire blooms between Kaida and Tarrin, in the midst of fighting for their lives, she must choose whether to save the very creature she swore to hate, or allow him to perish... And destroy her own heart.
They say love conquers all...but what about an army of ruthless dragons? Kaida and Prince Tarrin barely escaped the dungeon of Belharnt with their lives. Now, the Remnant is hunting them while the Royal Palace is under the claw of the Council. They're forced to flee in search of a place of safety, but mercenary dragons continue to track them at every turn, revealing evidence that confirms their greatest fear... Eklos is alive and wants revenge. Eklos's army is sweeping across the country, slaughtering every human in sight, and Kaida and Tarrin are left with no other choice but to ally with a band of untrustworthy dragons in order to evade them. And while they try to muster an army to rival Eklos, hope grows thin as village after village refuses to fight. Their last, desperate, chance at resisting the growing threat lies in the rumored safety of Shegora. But Eklos is determined not to let them reach it. Betrayal and heartbreak are hidden around every corner, and with the enemy on their heels, will Kaida and Tarrin be able to raise an army to defeat them? Or will the fears of the past consume them all?
I will bow to nothing and no one. Not even the fear in my own mind. Defeated and exhausted after an attack that almost claimed her life, Kaida's world has been turned upside down. Now, Eklos's army is advancing in the wake of the Remnant, forcing her deeper into hiding.

Meanwhile, Kaida's magic begins to manifest in strange ways, giving her a glimpse into a future she must race to avert.

Can Kaida and Prince Tarrin finally overcome Eklos's tyranny in the war for Elysia's future? Or will their inner demons defeat them before the war has even begun? Don't miss the thrilling final installment of the best-selling Ash & Smoke trilogy!
Two strangers. One couple's photoshoot. What could possibly go wrong? I'm Elsie Faren and I hate love. Err, not hate, exactly. More like I no longer believe in it. After watching my parents divorce, then dumping my deadbeat boyfriend, I realized the idea of love is a fantasy. For four years I've been perfectly content to remain single and alone, but now my best friend has tricked me into doing a couple's photoshoot with a stranger. Unfortunately, that stranger, Jameson Beck, has somehow managed to worm his way into my life, convincing me to go on three dates with him. I was so certain that my hardened heart would be immune to his sunshine demeanor and kind soul. Little did I know that between all my fears, our flirting, and some flying donuts, there would be a sizzling spark between us...one that would have my heart begging to be let out of its cage. But I've seen the effects of broken love-and I can't risk it-not even for Jameson. ...Right?
Marrying my best friend for money without revealing my hidden feelings for him…How hard could it be? Everything was going great until my life fell apart. One minute, I had a great internship, I was accomplishing my dream of becoming a storm chaser, and I was happy. But in one single day, I became jobless, homeless, and deeply in debt, my life stuttering to a crashing halt. Forced to head home to Meridel, proverbial tail tucked between my legs, things only got worse when I ran into my best friend, Liam—err, ex-best friend. We’d been friends since we were kids, up until he moved away two years ago to chase his own dream of being a famous country music singer, effectively cutting me out of his life for good. But now he’s back, and to top it off, his manager has created a harebrained scheme to improve his new bad boy image—marrying me. If it weren’t for the money promised to me in exchange, I never would have agreed, especially when I’d been hiding the fact that I'd been in love with Liam for years. But now, I have to marry my best friend, live in close quarters with him, and help him fix his reputation, all while keeping my feelings hidden? Should be a piece of cake. Right?

This book is built from a fracture in time. What you'll find between its pages is not simply love—it is Forever itself: unyielding, unrelenting, and beautifully impossible. Nate writes not to preserve a person, but to preserve the ache of infinity. When Forever slips beyond reach, the only answer is to make it real in verse. In these poems, Forever isn't a destination—it's the haunting pull between what was and what always will be. It's the echo that returns with new shape, new sorrow, new grace. It's not perfection-it's persistence. A force that reshapes you, lingers in silence, and seeps into everything unspoken. Each line is an offering to the gods of what-could-have-been. A slow orbit around memory, desire, failure, and yearning. This is love as gravity. Time as ruin. Forever as a wound that doesn't close—and a pulse that never dies. To write of Forever is to disobey ending. And this book is pure defiance.
