Every book in the Dream Harbor series can be read as a standalone.
Kira North hates Christmas. Which is unfortunate since she just bought
a Christmas tree farm in a town that’s too cute for its own good.
Bennett Ellis is on vacation in Dream Harbor taking a break from his
life in California. And most importantly, taking a break from his
latest run of disastrous dates.
After a run in with Kira in her fields, Ben has no intention of
offering to help the grumpy owner set up her tree farm, despite the
fact she’s clearly got no idea what she’s doing.
Kira knows she should stop being so stubborn, but her farm is not all
cute and cozy like people always show on social media, it’s borderline
dangerous with no heating, and she’d rather no one saw it.
But somehow fate finds Ben at Kira’s farm once more, and as Kira
watches him swing an ax at the first tree, she finds herself
appreciating his strength and questioning why she refused help in the
first place…
The Christmas Tree Farm is a spicy romantic mystery with a HEA
guaranteed!

Winston Smith rewrites history. It’s his job. Hidden away in the Record Department of the sprawling Ministry of Truth, he helps the Party, and the omnipresent Big Brother, control the people of Oceania.
Winston knows what a good citizen of Oceania must do: show his devotion for Big Brother and the Party; abstain from all vices; and, most importantly, possess no critical thoughts of their own. The new notebook he’s begun to write in is definitely against the rules – in fact, the Thought Police could arrest him simply for having it. Yet, as Winston begins to write his own history, a seed of rebellion begins to grow in his heart – one that could have devastating consequences.
In George Orwell’s final and most well-known novel, he explores a dystopian future in which a totalitarian government controls the actions, thoughts and even emotions of its citizens, exercising power through control of language and history. Its lasting popularity is testament to Orwell’s powerful prose, and is a passionate political warning for today.
Great Expectations was first published as a weekly serial in All
the Year Round, December 1860 - August 1861. Its first appearance
in volume form was as three-volume novel, without illustrations, in
July 1861. A one-volume edition, the next year, preceded its
inclusion in the collected editions of Dickens's lifetime. The
three-volume 1861 edition is the basis of the present text: variant
readings, including those in manuscript and extant proofs, are
recorded in the textual apparatus, providing an unusually rich
source of information on Dickens's methods of composition. The
Introduction traces this process of composition and draws attention
to the two unperformed dramatic adaptations: the reading version
and the 1861 play version, made as a safeguard of copyright.
Appendices include the original ending, the author's notes, and two
textual examinations, one of the five so-called `editions' of 1861,
the other a comparison of the one-volume 1862 edition with the 1864
Library edition.
For readers of Modern Lovers and Conversations with Friends, an addictive, humorous, and poignant debut novel about the shock waves caused by one couple's impulsive marriage.
New York is slipping from Cleo’s grasp. Sure, she’s at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn’t even have money for cigarettes. But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank's life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art―and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now.
Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that’s Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank's financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off. Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year’s Eve party changes everything, for better or worse.
Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly perfect evenings.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Sierra
Simone comes her steamy, TikTok-famous Priest series, in which
sinners and saints alike test the bonds of religion, love, and
lust. He's a priest, and here is his confession. There are many
rules a priest can't break. A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot
abandon his flock. A priest cannot forsake his God. Tyler Bell has
had no problem playing by the rules for the last three years after
a family tragedy set him on the path to priesthood. That all
changes when the delicious, sultry voice of Poppy Danforth sinks
its claws in him through the screen of his confessional booth, and
he can't get her sins out of his head. It should be easy to put his
impure thoughts of her to rest, considering the vows Tyler has
taken. It should be nothing to overcome what the sight and sound of
her does to him, when his life with the Church means everything.
But once he has his first forbidden taste of those red lips, Tyler
can't help but break all his rules for Poppy-no matter what it
might cost them both.
