A refreshingly modern fairy tale and instant New York Times bestseller that Love Hypothesis author Ali Hazelwood hails as "an uplifting, feel-good, romantic read."
After a wild bet, gourmet grilled-cheese sandwich, and cuddle with a baby goat, Alexis Montgomery has had her world turned upside down. The cause: Daniel Grant, a ridiculously hot carpenter who’s ten years younger than her and as casual as they come—the complete opposite of sophisticated city-girl Alexis. And yet their chemistry is undeniable.
While her ultra-wealthy parents want her to carry on the family legacy of world-renowned surgeons, Alexis doesn’t need glory or fame. She’s fine with being a “mere” ER doctor. And every minute she spends with Daniel and the tight-knit town where he lives, she’s discovering just what’s really important. Yet letting their relationship become anything more than a short-term fling would mean turning her back on her family and giving up the opportunity to help thousands of people.
Bringing Daniel into her world is impossible, and yet she can’t just give up the joy she’s found with him either. With so many differences between them, how can Alexis possibly choose between her world and his?
Bastian Bredenkamp is dead. But even the dead have secrets. From the grave, Bastian weaves together the extraordinary tale of his life.

When Khadeejathree comes to work for the family, Bastian is introduced to her daughter Rashieda, and a world he’d been sheltered from. But to love Rashieda means telling his secret: he is not who he appears to be.

One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.
Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he's fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn't hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist . . .

1875. Wanneer Kathryn Walsh in die myndorp Calvada aankom, is liefde
die laaste ding waaraan sy dink. Haar welgestelde stiefpa het haar
weggestuur uit Boston om ’n erflating te kom opeis van ’n oom wat sy
nooit geken het nie: ’n klein koerantkantoortjie in die hoofstraat van
’n dorpie vol bordele en kroeë, en ’n skynbaar waardelose myn.
Kathryn besluit om haar oom se koerant weer op die been te bring en
bevind haar kort voor lank midde-in ’n storm tussen twee van Calvada se
magtigste mans. Kathryn is egter vasbeslote om aan te hou sê – en skryf
– waarin sy glo.
Matthias Beck, kroeg- en hotel-eienaar, sien onmiddellik dat die
beeldskone, uitgesproke rooikop net so vasberade soos haar oom is. En

Die aantreklike hotel-eienaar en die eiesinnige juffrou Walsh sien dat
hulle tog vir dieselfde ding baklei: ’n dorp waarop hulle trots kan
wees. Almal wil graag ryk word in die myndorpie, maar dit is ’n liefde
baie kosbaarder as goud wat almal in die dorp uiteindelik sal red.
Moving, passionate, and unforgettable, this novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover follows two young adults from completely different backgrounds embarking on a tentative romance, unaware of what the future holds.
After a childhood filled with poverty and neglect, Beyah Grim finally has her hard-earned ticket out of Kentucky with a full ride to Penn State. But two months before she’s finally free to change her life for the better, an unexpected death leaves her homeless and forced to spend the remainder of her summer in Texas with a father she barely knows.
Devastated and anxious for the summer to go by quickly, Beyah has no time or patience for Samson, the wealthy, brooding guy next door. Yet, the connection between them is too intense to ignore. But with their upcoming futures sending them to opposite ends of the country, the two decide to maintain only a casual summer fling. Too bad neither has any idea that a rip current is about to drag both their hearts out to sea.
When a mistaken obituary reunites two old crushes, sparks fly and a
second chance at love ignites. But will the one that got away finally
stay?
Karl and Molly were never together. There was a time, right after high
school, where it seemed like they might finally cross the line from
friends to lovers . . . but instead, a foolish misunderstanding meant
they never spoke again. Molly went to LA and got married. Karl stayed
in Harlot's Bay and bought a bakery.
The only connection the pair has shared over the years is painfully
one-sided: Now divorced, Molly narrates monster romance audiobooks, and
Karl is an ever-diligent listener, clinging to his only piece of the
one that got away.
Still, Molly hasn't totally left Harlot's Bay behind. When she hears
that Karl's obituary has run in the local paper, unexpected grief
prompts her to hop on the next flight to Maryland . . . where she finds
Karl very much alive, the victim of nothing but an accidental obituary.
As the pair reunite, they finally hash out their missed connection.
True, Molly isn't quite ready to trust again, but Karl is determined to
prove himself worthy of her faith and devotion. And as her remaining
time in Harlot's Bay ticks down, Molly, the habitual cynic, just might
find that Karl, the cranky town curmudgeon, is impossible to leave
behind a second time.
