Harriet and Wyn are the perfect couple - they go together like bread
and butter, gin and tonic, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Every year,
they take a holiday from their lives to drink far too much wine with
their favourite people in the world. Except this year, they are lying
through their teeth, because Harriet and Wyn broke up six months ago.
And they still haven't told anyone.
But the cottage is for sale so this is the last time they'll all be
here together. They can't bear to break their best friends' hearts so
they'll fake it for one more week.
But how can you pretend to be in love - and get away with it - in front

Do not touch the sword. Do not turn the key. Do not open the gate.
In the land of the unforgiving desert, there isn't much a girl wouldn't
do for a glass of water.
Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one
knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has
been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs
for as long as she can remember.
But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come
undone.
When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently
reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice
and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of
nightmares...but it turns out they're real, and Saeris has landed
herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might
just get her killed.
The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a
thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a
handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own.
He will use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people, no matter what
it costs him . . . or her.
Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky.
His attitude stinks. And he's the only way Saeris is going to make it
home.
Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the
details . . .
To find their soulmates, all they need is four dates, a kiss and a

Justin has a curse, and thanks to a Reddit thread, it's now all over

problem, they come up with a plan: They'll date each other and break
up. Their curses will cancel each other's out, and they'll both go on
to find the love of their lives. It's a bonkers idea . . . and it just
might work.
Emma hadn't planned that her next assignment as a traveling nurse would
be in Minnesota, but she and her best friend agree that dating Justin
is too good of an opportunity to pass up, especially when they get to
rent an adorable cottage on a private island on Lake Minnetonka.
It's supposed to be a quick fling, just for the summer. But when Emma's
toxic mother shows up and Justin has to assume guardianship of his
three siblings, they're suddenly navigating a lot more than they
expected - including catching real feelings for each other. What if
this time Fate has actually brought the perfect pair together?

When a smart-mouthed junior joins East Nashville High’s basketball team, Coach Julie Parker’s ready for the challenge. What she’s not prepared for is the teen’s new foster parent, a super-hot ex-WNBA baller and star of Julie’s fantasies. Julie knows the cool and confident Elle Cochrane is way out of her league. But despite being completely tongue-tied around her, somehow Julie persuades Elle to step in as her assistant coach.

Maybe because being around her makes Elle feel sparks for the first time in long while—which is why she offers to help when Julie reveals her lifelong insecurity about dating and how she wishes she could practice at it…like sports. As Elle helps Julie navigate dating life, lines grow increasingly blurred, and the two must decide whether they’ll stay on the sidelines—or finally take their shot.

and funny” (Kerry Winfrey, author of Waiting for Tom Hanks) teen
rom-com is hopelessly romantic with enemies to lovers and grumpy x

Liz hates her annoyingly attractive neighbour but he’s the only in with
her long-term crush …
Perpetual daydreamer and hopeless romantic Liz Buxbaum gave her heart
to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never
really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz
will do whatever it takes to get on his radar—and maybe snag him as a
prom date—even befriend Wes Bennet.
The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbour might seem like a prime
candidate for romantic comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain
in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Pranks involving frogs and
decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet,
somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s
in.
But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have
her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being
around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must re-examine
everything she thought she knew about love—and rethink her own ideas of
what Happily Ever After should look like.
Better Than the Movies features quotes from the best-loved rom-coms of
cinema and takes you on a rollercoaster of romance that isn’t
movie-perfect but jaw-dropping and heart-stopping in unexpected ways.
