Fake dating my arch-nemesis during Christmas...what's the worst that could happen? One year ago, Oliver Lewis ruined my life by winning the community college photography contest-now he's ruined it again by scratching my car. Did I mention it's Christmastime? Now, while my car is being repaired, I'm forced to let Oliver chauffeur me around Meridel. But I've found a silver lining! If I win England's most prestigious photo competition, I can finally pay off my debt and move forward with my life. The only problem is, one of the judges is Oliver's father, and to better my chances, I have to get cozy with my arch-nemesis. AKA: pretend to be his girlfriend for Christmas. I thought it would be simple, but I did not expect that underneath that smug, arrogant exterior there'd be a sweet, thoughtful man who would find every excuse to be near me. But it doesn't matter. I, Maya Beck, will not fall for Oliver Lewis. My future rests on winning this contest and nothing-and no one-will get in the way of that. Especially not an annoyingly handsome British man. The Mistletoe Bluff is a sweet, closed-door romantic comedy with laugh-out-loud moments, sizzling chemistry, and swoony kisses.
She’ll do anything to save her family—even marry a fae and face the dead. Years ago, Elle Blackford’s parents made a desperate deal with the fae kingdom of Ashwood. While her mother and sisters reconciled themselves to a future among dangerous immortals, Elle and her father studied forbidden magic, hoping to find a loophole. Until Elle’s father dies, forcing Elle’s sister to marry Prince Fitz, heir of Ashwood. But Elle has a plan to change their fate. For she knows that ghosts wander Ashwood Forest until the royal family sends them into the afterlife. Ghosts that can be returned to life. And she’s determined to save her father from his premature death. All she needs is powerful magic—magic Prince Fitz possesses. Taking her sister’s place, Elle marries Prince Fitz to steal his power. But in a world of bloodthirsty fae and vengeful ghosts, being a mortal comes with constant risks. As Elle navigates a kingdom of monsters and tragic secrets, she realizes she might not survive to save her family. And the key to her salvation might be her arrogant, cold husband—the one she’d planned to rob and abandon. If only she can trust him.
SHE JUST HAS TO MAKE IT TWO WEEKS, BUT HE ISN'T GOING TO MAKE IT EASY. Michaela Reed’s life is falling apart. Her husband wants a divorce, she is one mistake away from being fired, and she barely recognizes the woman in the mirror. The cherry on top? Her boss wants her to work with the Devil himself on a new project. (Okay, maybe not the Devil, but he’s close enough.) Finnley Sheffield has always been a bit of a wild card — the life of the party, you might say — and it’s finally starting to catch up to him. Finn needs help getting his life on track and the only person who can help him…can’t. Instead, she offers the one person who can handle the project — Michaela, who just so happens to be his best friend’s annoying little sister. Neither is happy with the idea, but they know working together is the only way to get what they want. Now that they’re forced to spend time together, the lines are starting to blur. Michaela realizes that maybe he isn’t as much of a passive-aggressive, narcissistic a-hole as she thought. Finn finds out that she isn’t the same clingy, annoying little kid she used to be. They’re both discovering that maybe they don’t hate each other as much as they thought… Or maybe it’s all just part of a game. STRICTLY BUSINESS is a contemporary, enemies-to-lovers romance. It is the second book in the Strangers series.
Sometimes forever starts with the last person you want. Darci Griffin has sworn off romance—and the cocky new neighbor who catches her in the world’s most humiliating moment. She’s a children’s librarian with a fortress around her heart, an expert at dodging feelings and first dates. Alex Dixon is all sharp edges and bottled-up grief, a widower who lost everything and decided wanting nothing was safer. From their first clash—snark, sparks, and one infuriatingly good deed—they can’t stop colliding: hallway skirmishes, reluctant favors, late-night arguments that turn into the kind of confessions you only make in the dark. What starts as irritation becomes chemistry that won’t be ignored: laughter that sneaks up on them, heat that makes rules feel irrelevant, and a tenderness neither of them thought they’d earn again. But choosing each other means risking what they’ve spent years protecting—her battered belief in being unlovable, his vow to never break a heart or his own again. If they’re brave enough to drop their armor, the enemies they were might just make room for the lovers they’re meant to be. SOMETIME AROUND MIDNIGHT is a steamy, heart-mending enemies-to-lovers romance about second chances, messy healing, and the moment you realize home is a person who argues with you…and stays.
“Beauty and the Beast” meets the Russian fairy-tale, “The Lute Player.” After a raid on the family inn forces Anya Solovyova to flee her homeland, she finds herself in need of a new job. A friend secures a position for Anya as the housekeeper for an Arriborn noble, which sounds like a perfect opportunity. Her new employer, Dmitriy Vetrov, gives her free rein over the matters of his house, with only a few rules: don’t go into his study, and don’t go into the west bedroom. Unfortunately Anya has a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time… As she uncovers the truth about Dmitriy and his bloodstained past, Anya must challenge herself to face a silencer—the same type of trained killer that slaughtered her sister—and see him as more than a sword. And when a vengeful Nobility Council places Dmitriy under arrest, is Anya able (and willing) to stand up for him?
