This stunning new edition of Fourth
Wing features gorgeous stenciled edges designed to match Iron Flame and
Onyx Storm―bringing all three books together in one striking visual
set. Available as a limited first print run in the U.S. and Canada only.
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the
Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the
commanding general―also known as her tough-as-talons mother―has ordered
Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite
of Navarre: dragon riders.
But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle,
death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to
“fragile” humans. They incinerate them.
With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet
to better their own chances of success. The rest would kill her just
for being her mother’s daughter―like Xaden Riorson, the most powerful
and ruthless wingleader in the Riders Quadrant.
She’ll need every edge her wits can give her just to see the next
sunrise.
Yet, with every day that passes, the war outside grows more deadly, the
kingdom's protective wards are failing, and the death toll continues to
rise. Even worse, Violet begins to suspect leadership is hiding a
terrible secret.
Friends, enemies, lovers. Everyone at Basgiath War College has an
agenda―because once you enter, there are only two ways out: graduate or
die.
Some secrets should stay behind closed doors…
Gemma’s got it all figured out: she has her amazing best friends April
and Anna, a high-flying job, and a dating life that’s strictly
no-strings-attached. Men fall at her feet – and she walks away from
them without a backwards glance.
Max is a jet-setter with zero interest in settling down. Between London
and New York City, he’s in a position of power, working at a luxury
hotelier. But when he meets Gemma in a high-stakes hotel pitch, their
chemistry is instant, electric…and completely off limits. Why? Because
Max is Anna’s brother. And Anna has just one rule: don’t even think
about her brother.
But the danger zone is Gemma’s favorite place to be. And some things
are worth bending the rules for…

a rut, their future looks, well, boring.
Then Adam stumbles across a pile of old mixtapes he and Jules made for
each other when they were young and falling in love. He dusts off his
vintage stereo, inserts one of the cassettes, presses play...and the
unbelievable happens.
With the power to travel back in time, he and Jules can revisit pivotal
moments in their pasts. Is this the key to getting their sparkle back?
They embark on an epic hunt through the multiverse for their perfect
love story. But as they visit the past, they realise that time travel
could be as dangerous as it is addictive, because the temptation to
change just a few tiny things is irresistible.
As the consequences start to spiral out of control, can they find a way
back to their messy, imperfect, glorious real life? Or will they lose
each other forever?

There's only one thing standing in the way of Cat King saving Merry, Connecticut's Christmas festival: Grumpy town manager Noah Yates.
Single dad Noah takes his responsibilities seriously. When a late season hurricane turns his town into a disaster, he's left scrambling to pick up the pieces of the town he loves.
At least, until home renovation expert and reality TV star Catalina King arrives with a camera crew and a budget big enough to put the town back together again. But Noah doesn't want a celebrity diva capitalizing on their tragedy or filling his young daughter's head with visions of glitz and glam.
Blonde bombshell Cat is used to being underestimated, but Noah has an uncanny knack for getting under her skin. They can't be in a room together without rubbing each other the wrong way…except that time in the dark alley where the rubbing was just right. Can these enemies work together to pull off a Christmas miracle or will their fighting leave them both on the naughty list?
Author's Note: These enemies-to-lovers deliver the holiday feels with a dirty-talking hero, ballsy blonde who never backs down, steamy hot break-the-dining-room-table sexy times, and a small town that still believes in the magic of Christmas.

nare droom. Dit help ook nie dat die vreemdeling langs haar op die
vliegtuig vir haar sê daar bestaan nie iets soos beter dae nie…

The epic enemies-to-lovers hockey romance from USA TODAY bestselling
author Rachel Reid.
Nothing interferes with pro hockey star Shane Hollander’s game.
Now that he’s captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won’t let anything
jeopardize that—definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.
Boston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov is everything Shane’s not. The
self-proclaimed king of the ice, he’s as cocky as he is talented. No
one can beat him—except Shane. Publicly, they’re enemies. Privately,
they can’t stop touching each other.
The smart thing to do? Walk away, once a few secret hookups turn into a
struggle to keep their relationship out of the press. The truth could
ruin them both. But for Shane and Ilya, secrecy is soon no longer an
option…
Get ready for another binge-worthy romance from international bestselling author and TikTok sensation Elle Kennedy.
College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance.
After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She's not a charity case, and she's not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He'll have to work for it. This time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat . . . and she plans on driving him wild.
He kissed his best friend's little sister, and the world stood still.
That night, they were two perfect strangers: the town's grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until they weren't. Because Nadia Dalca isn't just some girl. She's the one girl Griffin Sinclaire can't have. Fourteen years younger than him and completely off-limits.
After their forbidden kiss, Griffin's plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing them together. It's like some sort of cosmic joke, to give him a taste of something so electric―so real―something that breathed life back into him. Because he can look, but he can't touch her again.
But with her sinful curves, her lighthearted laugher, and her secret wild side, Griffin's addicted to every last bit of her. And when she turns those sultry eyes on him―the ones so full of longing, so free of judgment? Well, he's always considered himself a strong man, but for her, he's weak.
To give in to their connection would be a betrayal. Griffin's life is beyond complicated, and Nadia has the world at her fingertips. Her brother is the only family she has left, and as sad as it sounds, he's also Griffin's only friend.
But he kissed her again anyway.
He’s beautiful, brooding, and bossy…and she just agreed to three fake dates with him.
Stefan Dalca is public enemy number one in this small town, a prickly outsider with a murky past that’s hard to overlook. All he wants is to race his horses and be left alone―but when veterinarian Mira Thorne needs his help to save a sick foal, he’s too drawn to her to refuse. In exchange…he wants her.
Their time together starts as a simple transaction, but the more Mira gets to know Stefan, the more she wonders if he isn’t quite the villain everyone’s made him out to be. With every intimate conversation and lingering look, the tension between them builds. She’s been drawn to Stefan since the day she laid eyes on him…but now he’s downright irresistible.
Mira knows sleeping with the enemy is playing with fire. But like a moth to a flame, she’s attracted to the mysterious man in a way those closest to her wouldn’t approve of or understand. And the more Stefan softens for her, the harder she falls.
But as his mysteries unravel, so do hidden truths. Truths that are bound to get someone burned.
Mira just didn’t expect that someone to be her.
An irresistible modern fairy tale
about a British princess who must decide between her duty to her
family—or to her own heart.

impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and
the unlucky.

personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is–unless
she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone

riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath
War College―and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save
them in the end.

her life.
Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him.
It's such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and
younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student;
brother's best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor
loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any
relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to
count, and Maya should just get over him. After all, he has made it
clear that he wants her gone from his life.

down. Rorrik holds the key to understanding the powers Arvelle is
developing—abilities that would put a price on her head if discovered
by the emperor.

bottom of a conspiracy that will change everything she thought she knew
about herself—and the two vampires who are deeply entwined with her
destiny…

go. Now, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I
can't fire-his daughter.

RYAN
She's a distraction, that's what she is.
I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last
thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend,
to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting.
But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval
of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone
wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to
convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate.
The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural.
Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy
under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants
all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her.
INDY
I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA
superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his
loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and
approachable guy.
Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and
untrusting of others.
Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up,
one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend,
will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's
celebrity hero.
Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake.
Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when
Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love.
I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon
enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best
friend's brother was the right move after all . . .
The Right Move is the second book in the sensational Windy City series
which has gripped over a million readers across the world. But don't
worry if you're new round here, you'll still love it as a standalone!
