Dakota and Wyatt. Storm and sunshine. Growing up, they were as
inseparable as a pair of cowboy boots. The best of friends – or so
Dakota thought.
Every summer, Wyatt would come home to his family’s flower farm in
Granite Falls, Texas, and they’d stargaze in the fields together,
pinkies brushing, laughter rumbling with the cicadas . . . until one
summer, he never returned.
Dakota hasn’t heard a peep from Wyatt in over three years, and during
that time, a lot has changed. He’s the hockey world’s golden boy, and
she’s developed a reputation as “The Cowboy Killer,” breaking both
rodeo records and men’s hearts. The last thing Dakota needs is a
distraction from her bull-riding goals, but everything changes when her
old friend waltzes back into town with an adorable baby on his hip.
Wyatt’s back to get the girl he’s been obsessing over for years, and
he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get her back – two-stepping at
the rodeo, jumping into Cibolo Creek, even rendezvousing in outdoor
showers.
All Dakota wants is to keep her distance and focus on training, but
when she learns the truth behind why Wyatt left, she finds it hard to
stay away. . .

What if the urban legends you've always heard about were real?
It starts with a class in an old movie theater. Folklore 517: Local
Legends and Urban Myths, taught by a woman called the Professor. Most
students believe the Professor’s stories are just fiction, but Holland
St. James has always been convinced that magic is real. When she tracks
down a local legend named the Watch Man, who can supposedly tell you
when you’ll die, the world finally makes sense. Except that the Watch
Man tells her she will die at midnight tomorrow unless she finds an
ancient object called the Alchemical Heart.
With the clock ticking, Holland is pulled deeper into this magical
world in the heart of Los Angeles―and into the path of a magnetic
stranger. Everything about him feels like a bad idea, but he promises
Holland that her sister sent him to protect her. As they chase clues
and stories that take them closer to the Alchemical Heart, Holland
realizes everyone in this intoxicating new world is lying to her, even
this stranger. And if she can’t figure out whom to trust, not even the
Alchemical Heart will save her.
Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter, Elle, has the chance of a lifetime
to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem?
She's had writer's block for months, and her screenplay is due by the
end of the summer.
Desperate for inspiration, Elle returns to NYC - the city she hates -
and tries to throw herself into her writing. But then she meets her new
neighbour: Parker Warren. He's the city's favourite handsome tech
billionaire and he's also the guy Elle hooked up with in a stairwell
two years ago. When seeing him again turns into a night of hate-fuelled
writing, Elle realises Parker might just be her twisted muse.
So, when Parker needs to fake a steady relationship during his
company's precarious acquisition and Elle needs to research a list of
classic date spots in the city for her screenplay, they suddenly find
they might just be exactly what each other needs.
Summers always end, and so will this agreement.
It's all pretend.
Until it isn't.
A REASON TO LIVE. Still grieving the death of her best friend, Erin knows she needs to start living - but has no idea how. Then she loses her favourite book, a heavily annotated and containing her friend's final words to her. A REASON TO LOVE. When James finds Erin's note-filled book in his local community library, it sparks a lifechanging conversation. He writes his own message back, and soon they are locked in an anonymous book exchange, with no idea who the other person in the margins might be. A REASON TO FORGIVE? But Erin and James have a shared history that neither of them realise. How will Erin react when she discovers the other writer isn't a stranger at all - but the person she once swore she'd never forgive?
An intimate and lyrical celebration of great love, great art, and the sacrifices we make for both
For fifty years, Abe and Jane have been coming to Central Park, as starry-eyed young lovers, as frustrated and exhausted parents, as artists watching their careers take flight. They came alone when they needed to get away from each other, and together when they had something important to discuss. The Park has been their witness for half a century of love. Until now.
Jane is dying, and Abe is recounting their life together as a way of keeping them going: the parts they knew—their courtship and early marriage, their blossoming creative lives—and the parts they didn’t always want to know—the determined young student of Abe’s looking for a love story of her own, and their son, Max, who believes his mother chose art over parenthood, and who has avoided love and intimacy at all costs. Told in various points of view, even in conversation with Central Park, these voices weave in and out to paint a portrait as complicated and essential as love itself.
An homage to New York City, to romance, and even to loss, This Is a Love Story tenderly and suspensefully captures deep truths about life and marriage in radiant prose. It is about love that endures despite what life throws at us, or perhaps even because of it.
FATE IS A CRUEL MISTRESS The daughter of a powerful but disgraced Blood Worker, Shan LeClaire has spent her entire life perfecting her blood magic, building her network of spies, and gathering every scrap of power she could. Now, to protect her brother, she assassinates their father and takes her place at the head of the family. And that is only the start of her revenge. Samuel Hutchinson is a bastard with a terrible gift. When he stumbles upon the first victim of a magical serial killer, he's drawn into the world of magic and intrigue he's worked so hard to avoid - and is pulled deeply into the ravenous and bloodthirsty court of the vampire king. Tasked by the Eternal King to discover the identity of the killer cutting a bloody swath through the city, Samuel, Shan and mysterious Royal Bloodworker Isaac find themselves growing ever closer to each other. But Shan's plans are treacherous, and as she lures Samuel into her complicated web of desire, treason and vengeance, he must decide if the good of their nation is worth the cost of his soul. Fans of From Blood and Ash and Kingdom of the Wicked will devour this decadent, bloodthirsty debut.
A swoony small-town romance that will set your heart racing.
I've been running from the past for most of my life, hiding in a small
town and hoping no one discovers who I truly am. Which was working just
fine until my brother moved his best friend onto our property.
Now, I'm stuck trying to avoid the brooding billionaire's probing
questions and piercing stares. And it doesn't help that I almost killed
him the first time we met. Oops.
But I can’t ignore him forever. And when all my lies come crashing
down, it's Linc who steps in to shield me.
Only, it's not just my safety at risk—it's my heart. Because when Linc
touches me, I lose all sense.
We might be building a life together. But Linc and I both have secrets
and it’s only a matter of time until the forces from our pasts come
back to tear everything apart. Forever.
