When Aussie Dylan Bailey walks away from her tenth grand slam without a
title, she decides to call in for early retirement. But after spending
time with fellow pro and British player Oliver Anderson, he convinces
her she still has one last title fight left in her.
Together, they embark on a journey of rediscovery and second chances,
as Dylan and Oliver navigate the highs and lows of professional tennis
while falling deeper in love with each passing match.
As the director of partnerships at a beauty company and a single mom,
there’s no room in Iris Greene’s life for spontaneity. But one thing
she hadn’t planned for is a certain singer walking into her office and
taking her breath away. . .
R&B star Angel Harrison has just scored a brand ambassador deal
with a beauty company, but he’s still not fulfilled; there’s a gaping
hole in his love life. That is, until he meets Iris at the company
headquarters and feels like things might finally be about to change.
Iris and Angel try and pretty quickly fail to remain professional. But
when it becomes clear their lives aren’t in sync, can they fall back in
step to the same rhythm, or will their love forever be off key?
Our lives are a collection of moments. Some full of yesterday's hurts.
Some full of tomorrow's promises.
I’ve had many moments in my lifetime: moments that changed me,
challenged me. Moments that scared me and engulfed me. But the biggest
ones―the most heartbreaking and breathtaking ones―all included him.
I was ten years old when I lost my voice. A piece of me was stolen
away, and the only person who could truly hear my silence was Brooks
Griffin. He was the light during my dark days, the promise of tomorrow,
until tragedy found him. Tragedy that eventually drowned him in a sea
of memories.
This is the story of a boy and girl who loved each other, but didn’t
love themselves. A story of life and death. Of love and broken promises.
Of moments.
All is fair in love and racing.
Charlotte Walker isn’t sure of her plan after graduation, so she jumps
at the chance to travel the world with her brother and his Formula 1
team.
What’s even better is being around Lucas Adler, AlphaVite Racing’s star
driver and tattooed Greek god come to life.
He’s been her crush for years and their sizzling chemistry is
undeniable.
Lucas knows his teammate’s younger sister Charlotte is off-limits. He’s
learned the hard way that crossing lines can destroy relationships.
But as constant companions on the road, the gorgeous Charlotte, with
her charm and infectious energy, challenges him at every turn in ways
no one ever has.
As feelings grow, Charlotte and Lucas must decide if their happily ever
after is a prize to be fought for at the finish line. . .

What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince
of Wales? When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was
promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal.
Handsome, charismatic, genius--his image is pure
millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one
problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the
pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an
Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the
worse. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for
damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at
first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and
more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon
Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a
surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and
upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world
after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the
people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true
colors shine through? Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue
proves: true love isn't always diplomatic. I took this with me
wherever I went and stole every second I had to read! Absorbing,
hilarious, tender, sexy--this book had everything I crave. I'm
jealous of all the readers out there who still get to experience

Revolution Racing has its first ever all female team, and rookie
Savannah Hart is ready to prove herself.
Even though Savi grew up on a ranch in Wyoming, she’s happiest on the
racetrack. But can she stop her secret relationship with country music
megastar, Jesse Motalvo, from distracting her from winning the
championship?
Marco De Luca is an all-star driver, and a hopeless romantic at heart.
He agrees to be in a fake relationship with Savi to keep the press off
the scent of her famous boyfriend, but he certainly couldn’t have
predicted how hard it would be to push his feelings aside when he falls
for her for real.
Then things start to go wrong between Savi and Jesse, and Marco is
there to steer her in the right direction. But will Savi ever realise
that she and Marco could be a winning partnership, both on and off the
track?
A charming home run of a queer holiday romance where two former
classmates’ plan to fake-date their way to freedom goes immediately
awry—but, perhaps, exactly the way they need it to
Murphy was supposed to be settling into her junior year at the
University of Illinois with her best friend, Kat. Instead, she’s stuck
in a hellish suburban holding pattern: living with her parents, failing
the same class that kept her from graduating the first time around, and
making minimum wage at the same coffee shop she’s worked at since she
was sixteen. It doesn't help that the dating pool for a
twenty-one-year-old lesbian in the tiny town of Geneva, Illinois, is
anemic at best.
When her and Kat’s long-awaited reunion is plagued by stuttering
conversation and uninvited guests, Murphy’s resentment threatens to
boil over. That is, until a miracle appears in the form of Ellie
Meyers, a former classmate who is way cuter and not nearly as straight
as Murphy remembers. Their heavy flirting holds the promise of
something more… until Murphy learns that Ellie’s mom is the very
professor preparing to flunk Murphy for a second semester in a row.
Talk about killing the vibe.
Romance might be off the table, but Ellie could be Murphy’s key to
getting into Professor Meyers’ good graces and finally getting out of
Geneva. And Murphy—well-versed in defying parental expectations—might
be Ellie’s chance to get her mother onboard with her own dreams.
Together, they hatch a plot: fake a relationship for a holiday weekend
at the Meyers’ house. If everything goes according to plan, Ellie will
be living her dream halfway across the country, and Murphy will finally
be able to graduate community college and start her life in earnest.
So, the fact that Murphy can’t stop thinking about Ellie’s lips on hers
isn't relevant. It’s just a part played well.
Right?
A story about opening your heart to possibility, I'll Get Back To You
is a giddy love letter to anyone in need of a bit of bravery to step up
to the plate—and to the unending process of finding yourself.
Before It Ends With Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan favorite Atlas’s side of the story and shares what comes next in this long-anticipated sequel to the #1 New York Times bestseller It Ends With Us.
Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil coparenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date.
But her excitement is quickly hampered by the knowledge that, though they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her life—and Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his ex-wife and daughter’s life.
We were meant to be seductive. We were designed to lure humans in.
Fortuna Sworn is the last of her kind.
Her brother disappeared two years ago, leaving her with no family or species to speak of. She hides among humans, spending her days working at a bar and her nights searching for him. The bleak pattern goes on and on... until she catches the eye of a powerful faerie. He makes no attempt to hide that he desires Fortuna. And in exchange for her, he offers something irresistible. So Fortuna reluctantly leaves her safe existence behind to step back into a world of creatures and power.
It soon becomes clear that she may not have bargained with her heart, but her very life.
TRIGGER WARNING: This novel contains scenes or themes of sexual harassment, toxic relationships, and slavery.
A sweet and spicy, opposites attract, sports romance about a star
quarterback and a pre-med student, who discover they have more in
common than either expected
Debut author Nicole Alfrine blends sweet romance with spice to create a
book that is a perfect mixture of Hannah Grace and Ali Hazelwood.
Hotshot college quarterback Bronx Miller is on track to make it to the
NFL, but while he’s hyper focused on football, that doesn't mean he
doesn't have fun. In fact, he’s the most notorious player on and off
the field. Even with a zero commitments policy, he’s never met a
girl who can resist him.
However, when he’s paired with straight-A, pre-med student Olivia
McCausland as his anatomy lab partner, he realizes he may want
something more. Olivia is quiet, thoughtful, and unimpressed by his
big-man-on-campus status.
As the semester unfolds with study sessions and bets based on test
scores, the pair grow close. Still, even as Bronx starts to let his
guard down and shed his playboy persona, outside forces are determined
to rip them apart.
While Bronx and Olivia may be more alike than they ever imagined,
they’ll have to fight for a future together. Along the way, they’ll
both learn that while scars come in various forms, they don’t decide
someone’s future.

Revolution Racing are enjoying their best season yet. But for Lucie
Carolan she can’t help but feel there’s still something missing.
Brett Anderson is Revolution Racing’s all star driver. The only thing
that matters more to Brett than winning championships? His best friend,
and Revolution Racing’s Social Media Manager, Lucie Carolan.
Together, Lucie and Brett have spent 10 years travelling the world with
their team, partying like VIPs and, for the sake of their friendship,
denying the chemistry that has sizzles between them. So when Brett is
forced to take a step back from racing, Lucie knows there’s nowhere
else in the world she should be than by his side.
As Brett’s recovery takes them from race tracks to Lucie’s family home
in Tuscany, will slowing the pace of their lives finally allow them to
give in to their feelings or each other, or will taking a foot off the
gas of their glamorous lives cause them to crash and burn?
She has a dream. He has a plan. Together they’ll take a leap of faith.
Ren has never held an iPhone, googled the answer to a question, or
followed a crush on social media. What she has done: Read a book or
two, or three (okay, hundreds). Taught herself to paint. Built a
working wind power system from scratch. But for all the books she’s
read, Ren has never found one that’s taught a woman raised on a
homestead and off the grid for most of her twenty-two years how to live
in the real world. So when she finally achieves her lifelong dream of
attending Corona College, it feels like her life is finally beginning.
Fitz has the rest of his life mapped out: Graduate from Corona at the
top of his class, get his criminal record wiped clean, and pass himself
off as the rich, handsome player everyone thinks he is. He’s a few
short months from checking off step one of his plans when Ren Gylden,
with her cascading blonde hair and encyclopedic brain, crashes into his
life, and for the first time Fitz’s plan is in jeopardy.
But a simple assignment in their immunology seminar changes the course
of both their lives, and suddenly they’re thrown out of the frying pan
and into the fire on a road trip that will lead them in the most
unexpected directions. Out on the open road, the world somehow shifts,
and the unlikely pair realize that, maybe, the key to the dreams
they’ve both been chasing have been sitting next to them the whole time.
A compelling and beautiful story about a girl who learns to live from a
boy who wants to die.
The New York Times bestseller is soon to be a major Netflix film
starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith.

I was looking for a one-night stand. I ended up with my soulmate.
Every painfully shy billionaire heiress needs an overprotective
bodyguard, right?
Unfortunately, my doctor just prescribed a one-night stand to help with
some serious health concerns, and my sisters have taken me shopping at
a nightclub for a “cocktail sausage cutie” to help gently punch my V
card.
But my much older, muscle-bound, totally off-limits alpha bodyguard
won’t let me pick a stranger for a medically necessary hookup. He
thinks what I need…is him.
If I take him up on his offer, there's a strong chance he may break my
heart. And also my hoohah.

Rainbow
Five years ago, billionaire/thirst trap Storm Halder walked into my
life, rejected me as his soulmate, and walked away. That same weekend,
my stepdad left Mom and me with nothing but a leaky roof and a stack of
bills.
Before that day, my name was Rainbow. Now, it’s just Rain.
Am I bitter? Heck yes. But when I take an unusually lucrative
betasitter gig and end up inside Storm’s mansion, I finally have the
chance for revenge.
So why are my plans to get payback turning into fantasies about kisses
in the rain?
And why does this jerk’s groveling make my heart thunder?

save us both. Now Rainbow’s at my front door, claiming to be the

The fearsome creature came from across Drukkar’s Sea…and there was a
rider on its back.
As a scholar in Dothik’s library, Klara has spent her life trying to
understand the strange dreams that have plagued her since she was a
child—visions of dragons and a world with no written record. Rejected
by her royal bloodline after her mother’s death, Klara hides her
chilling secret, knowing her rare magic could get her killed.
But when a dragon suddenly appears in Dothik, those dreams become a
monstrous reality.
Sarkin Dirak’zar, king of the Sarrothian horde, cares only about
finding heartstones—the dwindling power source for their revered
dragons. Ice-cold and merciless, the last thing Sarkin wants is a wife,
especially a weak and unwanted princess who likely won’t last one night
on dragonback. Yet the key to acquiring heartstones lies in Klara’s
visions, and so he gives her a cruel choice: marry him to save her
people…or let Dothik burn.
Her first duty as queen? Claim a dragon of her own. What’s even more
alarming is that unexpected desire begins to simmer with her beguiling
but guarded husband...even though his barbed cage of a heart is only
meant to keep her away.
Sail the high seas between worlds with this first book in a new fantasy romance series from Katee Robert, the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok smash-hit Neon Gods.
Evelyn is a witch with a perfect storm of bad impulses: terrible taste in bed partners, sticky fingers, and a lust for danger. After she steals from her vampire ex and falls through a portal to another realm, she's fished out of the waters by a band of seafarers and their telekinetic captain. She's immediately given a choice - join their group or die.
Bowen and his crew are bound by vow to patrol through Threshold, the magical sea between realms, keeping the portals to other worlds safe. When he rescues Evelyn, he doesn't expect to be attracted to the unflappable pickpocket, but the longer he spends in her presence, the more he begins to question if his heart is the next thing she'll steal.
As tension heats up between Bowen and Evelyn, the danger escalates as well. Because Evelyn has no intention of keeping her vows, and if she betrays the crew, both she and Bowen will pay the ultimate price . . .
Fortuna has made one too many sacrifices to protect the ones she loves.
She no longer knows how to go about her day-to-day life like she's normal. Like she's not utterly destroyed. Just a glimpse of Ian O'Connell's face causes panic attacks, and Collith isn't much help, considering he's fighting demons of his own. Amongst so much inner turmoil, Fortuna's abilities are still changing. However weak she feels, she knows she's getting stronger. Fortuna does her best to hide it from other Fallen, because in the world of monsters, strength will get you killed. Well, that and unpredictable panic attacks.
Unfortunately for Fortuna, it's when you're most vulnerable that enemies—new and old—like to come out of the woodwork...
TRIGGER WARNING: This novel contains scenes or themes of PTSD, sexual assault, and rape.
Heath and Teagan have one thing in common: they don't want to be in a
relationship.
Teagan, who is busy finishing her law degree, needs a break from the
stress of living up to her parents' expectations. Heath is following
his passion and starting his career as a physical therapist, but his
family's drama is tearing his life apart behind the scenes.
As members of the same friend group, Heath and Teagan will be around
each other plenty during wedding season, whether they like it or not.
With no time or desire to date, the two come to an agreement:
pre-scheduled hookups through the summer or until something real comes
along. A situational relationship, otherwise known as a situationship.
Their arrangement seems perfect, if their past doesn't come back to
bite them. . .
Fortuna's entire life has changed.
She has no idea how to balance her new responsibilities and who she used to be. There are hundreds of faeries in her head, her brother seems to have lost touch with reality, and a werewolf won’t leave her side. Maybe the utter lack of control is why her abilities seem to be changing, as well. Then there’s Collith. Enigmatic, beautiful, and infuriating. Not only a king of the faeries she despises so much, but also her mate. His gentle pursuit causes confusion in her normally unwavering relationship with Oliver.
As a result of it all, Fortuna now finds herself surrounded by new enemies and ones from the past. The question isn’t whether she is strong enough to make change in such a corrupt court.
It’s whether she will survive long enough to do it.
TRIGGER WARNING: This novel contains scenes or themes of rape, toxic relationships, suicide, domestic abuse, and slavery.
