Beau Eaton is the town prince, a handsome military hero with a tortured
past.
I'm the outcast bartender, a shy girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
He's thirty-five and all man, I'm twenty-two and all . . . virgin. He's
also my fiancé. Correction: my fake fiancé.
We start out as a bet. He doesn't believe that anyone holds my last
name against me. So he offers me his to prove a point.
It's a win-win. He gets a break from his concerned family's prying, and
I get a chance to shed my family's reputation while I save up to ditch

But it's what happens between us in private that blurs all those
carefully drawn lines . . .
It's what transpires behind closed doors that doesn't feel like

end date.
He once told me he'd never fall in love.
And yet here I am, head over heels for my fake fiancé.

All the twisted games are back as
Devil's Night returns in this dark romance from New York Times
bestselling author Penelope Douglas.
Buried in the shadows of the city, there's an abandoned hotel
called The Pope, surrounded by a mystery about the hidden twelfth floor
and the guest who never checked out. Banks knows the local legend, but
Kai believed the myth around the hotel. He and his friends think they
know her, think they can scare her, but Banks knows something they
don't. Even though she struggles to hide everything she feels when Kai
looks at her, the person he seeks is much closer than he'll ever
realise.
She'll never reveal her secret. This Devil's Night, Kai will be the
hunted one.
But Banks doesn't understand what Kai had to turn into to survive three
years in prison. He wants the hotel, its guest and his life back. But
the more he's around Banks, the more Kai realises this new version of
himself is exactly who he was meant to be.
Kai's seen her hideaway. It's time for Banks to see his.
**Hideaway is a STANDALONE dark romance with no cliffhanger. It is
suitable for ages 18+**
1875. When Kathryn Walsh arrives in tiny Calvada, a mining town nestled
in the Sierra Nevadas, falling in love is the farthest thing from her
mind. Banished from Boston by her wealthy stepfather, she has come to
claim an inheritance from the uncle she never knew: a defunct newspaper
office on a main street overflowing with brothels and saloons, and a
seemingly worthless mine. Moved by the oppression of the local miners
and their families, Kathryn decides to relaunch her uncle’s
newspaper―and then finds herself in the middle of a maelstrom, pitted
against Calvada’s most powerful men. But Kathryn intends to continue to
say―and publish―whatever she pleases, especially when she knows she’s
right.
Matthias Beck, owner of a local saloon and hotel, has a special
interest in the new lady in town. He instantly recognizes C. T. Walsh’s
same tenacity in the beautiful and outspoken redhead―and knows all too
well how dangerous that family trait can be. While Kathryn may be right
about Calvada’s problems, her righteousness could also get her killed.
But when the handsome hotelier keeps finding himself on the same side
of the issues as the opinionated Miss Walsh, Matthias’s restless search
for purpose becomes all about answering the call of his heart.
Everyone may be looking to strike it rich in this lawless boomtown, but
it’s a love more precious than gold that will ultimately save them all.
On the other side of town are five brothers. . .
Macon is the oldest. I've never seen him smile.
Army is a single dad with beautiful green eyes.
Iron will be in prison soon.
Dallas is the one I hate.
Trace used to be mine.
I need to go home. Away from the swamps and these men. I’ll leave
tomorrow. Tonight I'll crash on the couch tonight.
Everyone is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying. I let him wrap
his arms around my body and hold me.
I don’t think it was Trace.
Which means it was another brother.
I don’t know who, but I can’t help but want him to hold me again. . .
Follow your yellow brick road .... Alice Dorothy Matthews is on the
road to paradise! She's sold her house in London, got rid of her
nasty ex and arranged her move to Portugal where friendship and
romance awaits. All that's left to do is find a place to call home.
But Alice's dreams are called into question when complications with
friends, work and new relationships make her Portuguese paradise
feel far too much like reality. Will Alice's dream of a new home in
the sun come true?
In the game of second chances, can they follow the rules?
When Ellis Ainsley runs into her ex, Liam Ruinsky, ten years after they split, she remembers why she fell for him all those years ago. A tall, strong, charming ice hockey player - he really was a dream man. But their lifestyles are now worlds apart, and surely wouldn't work in reality. But the temptation is too much, and they agree to one last night together.
They thought nothing could go wrong. That was, until Ellis saw the positive result on the pregnancy test.
Already a chronically ill woman struggling to juggle her health and career, Ellis needs to figure out how to tell her NHL-playing ex-boyfriend he is going to be a dad. And despite their decision to coparent, their chemistry is still undeniable.
With turbulent families, over-bearing coaches, and the media wanting a slice of Liam's life: will he be able to step up? Most of all: will they risk falling in love for a second time?

A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.
Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast - again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold an historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange - again . . .
Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It's clear from the way he tracks Misery's every movement that he doesn't trust her. If only he knew how right he was . . .
Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what's hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory . . . alone with the wolf.
Discover the romantic, addictive and thrilling world of Tahereh Mafi’s fantasy Shatter Me series. This stunning hardback collector’s edition with its exclusive design and gold reading ribbon is the perfect gift for fans and new readers alike.
Juliette Ferrars isn't who she thinks she is.
Nothing in her world is what it seemed. She thought she'd defeated The Reestablishment. She thought she'd finally taken control of her life, her power, her pain. But a lifetime of lies unravelling before her has changed all that.
Stronger, braver, and more resilient than ever, Juliette must fight for life and love. But first she has to survive the war being raged against her mind.
She has to remember who she was.
'Vivid, memorable and beautifully crafted' - Sarah Moss, author of
Summerwater 'A brilliant collection, from a remarkable talent' -
Joseph O'Connor, author of Shadowplay Hearts and Bones is a book
about relationships. It explores what love does to us, and how we
survive it. A young woman learns to wield her power, leaving
casualties in her wake, while a man from a small town finds solace
in a strange new hobby. A watchful child feels a breaking point
approach as her mother struggles to keep her life on track, and
another daughter steps onto a stage while her family in the
audience hope that she is strong enough now to take on the world.
First-time lovers make mistakes, brothers and sisters try to
forgive one another, and parents struggle and fail and struggle
again. Teenage souls are swayed by euphoric faith in a higher power
and then by devotion to desire, trapped between different notions
of what might be true. Quiet revolutions happen in living rooms, on
river banks, in packed pubs and empty churches, and years later we
wonder why we ever did the things we did. Set between Ireland and
London in the first two decades of this millennium, the stories in
Hearts and Bones, Niamh Mulvey's debut collection, look at the
changes that have torn through these times and ask who we are now
that we've brought the old gods down. Witty, sharply observed and
deeply moving, these ten stories announce an extraordinary new
Irish literary talent. 'Astute, surprising and wholly entertaining'
- Irish Independent 'Showcases Mulvey's strenths as a writer: the
strangeness, the originality, the perfect pacing . . . highly
accomplished' - Irish Times 'Honest, daringly fresh and stunningly
written, these stories cut right to the very essence of what it
means to be young' - Jan Carson, author of The Raptures
Welcome to the St. Cecelia, a landmark hotel on the coast of Georgia,
where traditions run deep and scandals run even deeper. . . .
Everyone refers to the St. Cecelia as “the Saint.” If you grew up
coming here, you were “a Saint.” If you came from the wrong side of the
river, you were “an Ain’t.” Traci Eddings was one of those outsiders
whose family wasn’t rich enough or connected enough to vacation here.
But she could work here. One fateful summer she did, and married the
boss’s son. Now, she’s the widowed owner of the hotel, determined to
see it return to its glory days, even as staff shortages and financial
troubles threaten to ruin it. Plus, her greedy and unscrupulous
brother-in-law wants to make sure she fails. Enlisting a motley crew of
recently hired summer help—including the daughter of her estranged best
friend—Traci has one summer season to turn it around. But new
information about a long-ago drowning at the hotel threatens to come to
light, and the tragic death of one of their own brings Traci to the
brink of despair.
Traci Eddings has her back against the pink-painted wall of this
beloved institution. And it will take all the wits and guts she has to
see wrongs put to right, to see guilty parties put in their place, and
maybe even to find a new romance along the way. Told with Mary Kay
Andrew’s warmth, humor, knack for twists, and eye for delicious detail
about human nature, Summers at the Saint is a beach read with depth and
heart.
