'Find where you belong and make that place your own...'
Tanner has spent his whole life moving from place to place, belonging
nowhere. So when his dying grandmother reveals the name and location of
the father he never knew, he plans to visit Asheboro to lay the past to
rest, then move on - just as he always has.
Kaitlyn knows exactly where she belongs. In Asheboro, she's built a
life for herself and her kids that she's proud of, especially after the
turmoil of divorce. But when she meets lone wolf Tanner, she can't help
but feel something has been missing until now.
Jasper will never belong again. He had everything - and he lost it all.
Now with only his old dog Arlo for company, he lives quietly, haunted
by the tragic accident that took place decades before.
Three strangers' worlds are about to collide, changing the trajectory
of all their lives. Because some paths cross, some merge, and others
guide you home...
IN A DEN OF VIPERS, REVENGE IS THE DEADLIEST WEAPON.
After my sister was attacked and hospitalised, my world was shattered.
Now, all I have left is vengeance.
The problem? I have no idea who did this to her.
My only lead is The Vipers, an elite college hockey team that rules the
ice―and the shadows beyond it.
To infiltrate their secret society, I set my sights on their weakest
link: Kane Davenport, the Viper’s charismatic captain.
But too late, I realise I’ve enticed the most venomous snake.
Behind Kane’s perfect mask lies something far more dangerous than I
ever imagined.
AND NOW I’M TRAPPED IN A LETHAL GAME WITH NO ESCAPE.
ZANDERS
Chicago hockey isn't complete without me - everyone's favourite player
to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly
enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before
leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night.
What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private
plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to
remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season,
she'll be begging to quit her job.
But every road trip blurs the lines, and I can't quite figure out if I
keep pushing that flight attendant call button in order to push her
buttons, or if it's more than that.
STEVIE
I've been a flight attendant for years. I thought I'd seen it all, but
when my new job lands me onboard working for the most egotistical and
self-righteous diva in the NHL, I start to second guess everything.
Including the promise I made to myself of never hooking up with an
athlete again . . . no matter how annoyingly tempting he may be.
Evan Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his
own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it.
Everything but him.
Mile High is the first book in the sensational Windy City series which

When Andie lands her dream job as a senior book publicist, she's ready to take the world of New York publishing by storm.
Until her first day, when she discovers that her biggest author is Jack Carlson - the same Jack who ruined her life in university. Who she hasn't spoken to in five years. Who is not only still infuriatingly hot but incredibly successful. And whose campaign she definitely cannot mess up, if she wants to keep her job.
To make matters even worse, the central part of this career-defining campaign is a book tour. For a month, Andie will have to travel across Europe with the man who, if she were being totally honest, she'd like to hit with her car.
But she will not lose this opportunity, especially not because of him. One month on tour with Jack Carlson, visiting some of the most romantic spots in Europe. Deep breath. She can do this.

Love, Zola is the captivating continuation of Zola’s vibrant,
heart-stirring story. From career pressures to unexpected confessions,
Zola and Mbali’s journey tests their understanding of commitment and
what a happy ending truly looks like.
Okuhle’s return to Joburg brings unfinished business — not just with
her relationship but also with Zola, whose successes only serve as
painful reminders of what she’s lost. Meanwhile, Zozo’s
happily-ever-after in Durban is shaken as old feelings resurface.
Filled with tension, passion, and poignant revelations, Love, Zola is a
story of self-discovery, second chances, and the challenges of modern
relationships. Can love survive when the past refuses to let go?
Can life be like a made-for-TV Christmas movie? Mally Allister prides herself on being nice and predictable, just like the trope-filled festive films she turns to for comfort every winter. But when she faces the prospect of spending Christmas alone in her London flat, Mally is sent on a writing assignment to try to recreate the cheesy Christmas movie experience in her humdrum British hometown. With the help of familiar faces from her formative years, including her teenage crush Tom, Mally starts ticking off the classic holiday romance movie tropes in unexpected ways. But can real life ever live up to the magical movie experience?
HALLIE
When I was eleven, my family moved next door to his.
When I was thirteen, he was my first crush.
When I was sixteen, we fell for each other.
And when I was nineteen, we broke each other's hearts.
Six years later, I've landed an internship with a big-name interior
designer in a new city. Unfortunately, that city just so happens to be
the one he plays hockey for.
I thought Chicago was big enough to avoid him, until I get the surprise
of a lifetime and unknowingly move in right next door. Even worse? The
renovation project I'm assigned to in hopes of turning that internship
into my full-time dream job...
It's his house.
But how am I supposed to update his bachelor pad into a family home
when we can't even stand to be in the same room?
I may have loved Rio DeLuca once, but I'm not that same girl anymore.
RIO
I never thought I'd be the only single one left in my friend group. But
after years of trying to find love, I've concluded it may not exist for
me anymore.
That is, until I accidentally hire Hallie Hart to renovate my house and
our jaded history has me rewinding memories I've kept secret for years.
You see, there's something that my friends don't know.
That connection I've been looking for since I moved to Chicago, that
one person some search their entire lives to find . . . I had already
found her when I was twelve years old.
And now the only girl I've ever loved is moving into the house next
door.
Again.
Rewind It Back is the fifth and FINAL 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!
She's afraid she's not enough. He'll make damn sure she knows she is.
Single mom Whitney Hart is, quite simply, overwhelmed. She's struggling
to raise her ten-year-old son, Jonas. Her ex-boyfriend only seems to
come around and help take care of his son when he's single and hoping
to get back together. With Jonas acting out more than ever, Whitney
enlists the help of her sister Blair to keep an eye on Jonas over
summer vacation.
Enter Colt, a fun-loving Wells Ranch cowboy who is tasked with giving
Jonas work to do around Wells Ranch to keep him busy. In Colt, Jonas
finds a mentor and male role model for the first time in his life. And
in Jonas, Colt discovers a friendship that brings a new kind of joy
into his life.
Colt and Whit slowly develop a friendship of their own through a shared
concern for Jonas, and over the course of the summer, it begins to
spark into something more. The attraction and chemistry between them
are hard to ignore, but Whit's insecurities and hesitancy to trust men
causes her to pull away.
As miscommunications give way to understanding, the two will discover
that sometimes you have to first be broken before you can become whole,
and that there's no one way to create a family...
Op 'n dag in die vroee sewentigs bemerk 'n afgelee Noord-Kaapse
gemeenskap 'n gebou in hul midde waar voorheen net 'n stuk
braakgrond was. Drie weke later verdwyn die gebou . . .
Lees ook
oor die vreemde werklikheid van mense wat meer as een maal lewe,
oor die jong man wat so skaam is dat hy nie op foto's kan vertoon
nie, en oor die intense liefdesverhouding van 'n paartjie wie se
lewenspaaie net vir 'n paar sekondes gekruis het.
REWARD OFFERED: Apprentice to The Villain wanted for treason (light),
magical property damage (alleged), and one incident involving a
weaponized scone (accurate). Frequently seen with a grumpy frog
(crowned, judgmental). Answers to “Evie” or “Stop that.”
Evie Sage didn’t mean to become the right-hand woman to the kingdom’s
most terrifying villain. One minute, she was applying for an
entry-level position that promised “light paperwork and occasional
beheadings,” and the next, she was knee-deep in magical mayhem, murder
plots, and an entirely inappropriate crush on her brooding,
sharp-jawed, walking disaster of a boss.
Now, with a magical prophecy unraveling, assassins showing up in the
break room, and a suspicious amount of frogs wearing crowns, Evie has
to figure out how to survive her job without setting the kingdom on
fire?or her dignity, which is hanging by a very sarcastic thread.
Being evil-adjacent was never part of the five-year plan. But then
again…neither was falling for The Villain.
Eugenia Ward spent decades building a high-end and hugely successful
fashion business, only to see it decimated economically by Covid. As
she wrestles with anxious days and sleepless nights, fighting to avoid
financial disaster, Eugenia desperately needs new investors – and new
ideas.
Meanwhile, the demands of motherhood also lay claim to her time. A
single parent for over a decade, Eugenia works hard to be a guiding
light for her five adult children – but she often finds herself at a
loss with their tumultuous lives, while they are oblivious to her
financial woes.
Wedding plans for her daughter Gloria are ballooning in expense, even
as the loutish behaviour of Gloria’s fiancé causes her to question her
daughter’s judgement. Meanwhile, Eugenia’s other daughter, Daphne, is
due to deliver twins right around the wedding date. As the family
gathers for a luxurious holiday in the Hamptons, tempers soon fray,
while an unexpected proposal offers Eugenia a professional lifeline.
As storm clouds gather, Eugenia must find a way to unite her family and
keep her business afloat, forging a new path to success, independent of
her roles as mother and entrepreneur . . .

nightmares are its obsession in the first novel of a dark romance
series from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.
Erika Fane's boyfriend's older brother is handsome, strong, and
completely terrifying. The star of his college's basketball team gone
pro, he's more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than he is with her.

that he hid . . .
For years, Erika bit her nails, unable to look away. Now, she's in
college, but she hasn't stopped watching him. He's bad and the things
she's seen aren't content to stay in her head anymore.
Because he's finally noticed her.
But Michael Crist knows the hold he has on Rika, how much she fears
him. She looks down when he enters the room and stills when he's close.
He knows she thinks only of him. When Michael's brother leaves for the
military, leaving Rika alone and unprotected, he knows the opportunity
is too good to be true.
Three years ago she put Michael's friends in prison, and now they're
free.
Every last one of her nightmares is
about to come true.
