Gideon calls me his angel, but he's the miracle in my life. My wounded warrior, so determined to slay my demons while refusing to face his own.

The vows we'd exchanged should have bound us tighter than blood and flesh. Instead they opened old wounds, exposed pain and insecurities, and lured bitter enemies out of the shadows.

At the brightest time in our lives, the darkness of his past encroached, threatening everything. We faced a terrible choice: the familiar safety of the lives we'd had before or the fight for a future that suddenly seemed an impossible and hopeless dream...

The author of the “sexy, insightful, and utterly charming” (BuzzFeed) Kiss Her Once for Me returns with a new queer rom-com following once childhood best friends forced together to drive their former teacher across the country.

A long time ago, Logan Maletis and Rosemary Hale used to be friends. They spent their childhood summers running through the woods, rebelling against their conservative small town, and dreaming of escaping. But then an incident the summer before high school turned them into bitter rivals. After graduation, they went ten years without speaking.

Now in their thirties, Logan and Rosemary find they aren’t quite living the lives of adventure they imagined for themselves. Still in their small town and working as teachers at their alma mater, they’re both stuck in old patterns. Uptight Rosemary chooses security and stability over all else, working constantly, and her most stable relationship is with her label maker. Chaotic and impulsive Logan has a long list of misguided ex-lovers and an apathetic shrug she uses to protect herself from anything real. And as hard as they try to avoid each other—and their complicated past—they keep crashing into each other. Including with their cars.

But when their beloved former English teacher and lifelong mentor tells them he has only a few months to live, they’re forced together once and for all to fulfill his last wish: a cross-country road trip. Stuffed into the gayest van west of the Mississippi, the three embark on a life-changing summer trip—from Washington state to the Grand Canyon, from the Gulf Coast to coastal Maine—that will chart a new future and perhaps lead them back to one another.

Two high school enemies must reunite for a road trip inspired by their grandparents’ broken engagement in this electric debut romance.

Noelle Shepard is unemployed, living with her parents, and grieving the loss of her beloved grandmother when she discovers decades-old photos of Gram and a smitten man, tucked alongside a love letter. She creates a TikTok to search for the mystery man, which goes viral, and she’s shocked when his grandson responds—a man who happens to be her high school nemesis, Theo Spencer.

Noelle refuses to let Theo’s annoying accomplishments in adulthood—or his sexy smirk—stand in the way of meeting his grandfather and unlocking the secrets he knew about her gram as a young woman. When she learns that their plans to elope were thwarted, Noelle decides to take the honeymoon road trip they planned but never got to carry out. There’s a catch, though: Paul, Theo's grandfather, asks to come with her, and he insists that Theo join them.

As Natasha comforts her distraught child, she turns to social media for help. Miraculously, the toy is found, but it has become the lucky mascot of a man named Duffy, who is thousands of miles away trekking in Nepal.

When Duffy promises to keep Natasha updated with pictures, a correspondence begins that soon becomes more meaningful. Sometimes, Natasha feels this stranger half way across the world understands her more than the man lying next to her.

But as the weeks pass and Duffy heads deeper into the mountains, Natasha notices a change in him. Then one day, the messages stop. Too late, Natasha wonders why he had ever needed a lucky mascot at all.

Hy sug. “Weet jy wat dink ek? Ek dink jy moenie so hard dink en worrie oor wat Christa sê nie, en ek dink nie jy moet verliefraak van jou lysie afhaal nie.”

Sy wikkel haar net daar uit sy omhelsing los. “Wie sê dis op my lysie!”

“O, ek wéét dis op jou lysie.” Hy glimlag en dan trek hy haar weer terug in sy arms, sy arm om haar middellyf; sy bene onmiddellik weer die ene seekat oor hare. “Toe, hou nou op worrie oor nonsens. Slaap. Jy gaan jou energie moreoggend nodig kry as jy wakkerword.” Met dié druk hy sy lyf teenaan hare. Gits. Sekere dele van sy lyf is nie heeltemal so aan die slaap as wat hy dalk dink nie.

“Hmmm” grom hy in haar nek as hy ook sy lyf se reaksie voel. “Jy gaan dalk jou energie in die middel van die nag al benodig as ek sake so uitkyk!”

Vir ‘n ruk lank lê hulle so – rustig en salig – totdat Meiring die stilte onderbreek. “Mag ek vra waar jy aan jou inspirasie gekom het?”

“Met die ys en als?” vra sy.

“Ja … veral met die als.”

“O, ek het dit op YouTube gesien.”

Daar is ’n oomblik se stilte. “Jy is nie ernstig nie.”

Moet sy hom vertel van die seksghoeroe wat sy ontdek het wat videolesse aanbied oor hoe om ’n man te verlei? Nee, wat.

“Ek grap net. Jou ysidee het my geïnspireer,” sê sy.

Hy soen haar in die nek. “Dan sal ek met meer idees vorendag moet kom.”

Toe Karen se man haar vir ’n jonger weergawe los, besluit sy: Dis tyd om te waag.

’n Vriendin vertel haar van die eienaar van ’n toermaatskappy wat glo ’n bobaasverleier en uitstekende minnaar is …

Hy stem in om Karen uit haar penarie te red en gou beleef sy avonture waarvan sy voorheen net kon droom. Avonture het egter ’n manier om jou onverhoeds te betrap en jou op afdraaipaaie te neem wat jy nooit sien kom het nie.

Turns out that reading nothing but true crime isn't exactly conducive to modern dating - and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she's used to suspecting the worst.

PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She's even analysing the genre in her dissertation - if she can manage to finish writing it. It's hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn't had a relationship with for years.

It doesn't help that she's low-key convinced that her new neighbour, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he's clearly up to something). But it's not long before Phoebe realises that Sam might be something much scarier - a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armour to reach her vulnerable heart.

That’s fine.

I’ll use all of them. I’ll use them to take back what’s mine.

My life. My freedom. My name.

Met die oorspronklike publikasie van die drie romans oor die wel en wee van vier geslagte Meissners het Ena Murray opnuut haar status as koningin van die Afrikaanse liefdesverhaal gestand gedoen.

I'd always dreamed of my wedding day. But not like this. Not looking into the eyes of the man who betrayed me. But when my nephew's guardianship is contested, I decide I'll do whatever it takes to keep him in Rose Hill. Even if it means marrying the enemy.

Rhys Dupris.

A man who is secretive, broody, and completely infuriating. A man whose work takes him away for weeks on end and brings him back covered in mysterious bruises-ones he won't talk about. In fact, we barely talk at all. Which would be fine, except when he's not talking, he's staring. And the way he looks at me is borderline indecent. The tension between us has always been palpable. But living under the same roof is a dangerous temptation.

I swore I would never forgive him. But that was before I knew the man behind the mask. The one who's fierce and protective. The one who's gentle and patient. The one who shows up for us when we need him most.

He's not at all who I thought he was.

And that makes hating my husband so much harder... and loving him just a little too easy.
