In this twisty thriller from New York Times bestselling author Colleen
Hoover, a frustrated author looks for her muse in a remote hideaway,
but what she finds defies all expectations…and reality.
Her words used to set the page on fire. But a viral backlash over her
latest film adaptation forced Petra Rose to take a hiatus, resulting in
missed deadlines and an overdue mortgage. Branded a fraud and
fame-hungry opportunist, she learned the hard way what happens when the
internet turns on you. And she’s been uninspired to write ever since.
Now, with her next suspense novel outlined and savings nearly gone, she
retreats to a secluded lakeside cabin, hoping to find inspiration. It’s
Petra’s last-ditch attempt to save her career―and herself.
Then he shows up.
Detective Nathaniel Saint arrives with disturbing news, his presence
igniting a creativity in her she thought long since burned out. Petra’s
words return in a rush, and her fictional cop character begins to
mirror the very real cop who’s becoming her muse.
Their “research” sessions blur the lines between fantasy and reality.
Each glance, every touch pulls Petra deeper into a world she thought
she’d never lose herself in again. She’s never felt more alive. But
inspiration this powerful comes at a cost.
When Saint starts taking his role in her career a little too seriously,
Petra’s forced to confront the chaos she created. But doing so could
cost her more than the reputation she’s been trying to salvage. The
reputation the world wrote for her―the reputation only she can reclaim.

Hundreds of years ago, a brutal war split a land in two. Starside is
the realm of magic and immortals –the descendants of the gods, living
in a power-rich paradise. Stormside is where mortals fight for scraps
of that magic.
Every fifty years, the gates between them open, and fifty challengers
are allowed to journey across Starside on a deadly quest to access a
pool of magic that can heal, grant wealth, or extend life. Everyone has
their reasons for entering, but Aris has only one: vengeance. As a
child, a goddess set fire to her village, killing her family. Aris
isn't after the gods' magic – she's going to kill them.
First, she must survive the Culling, the king's deadly competition to
choose his fifty challengers. An orphaned blacksmith's apprentice, Aris
doesn't have the superior weapons of the heirs from the Great Houses.
But the greatest swords – ones that contain power – are not inherited
or bought, they are claimed, by both sides. And when Aris claims a
great sword, it makes her not just a real competitor – but a target.
Getting past the gates is only the beginning. Starside is deadlier than
it seems. If the ancient creatures, magic-wielding beasts, and
bloodthirsty immortals weren't dangerous enough, a new peril has even
immortals fearing what rises from the ground at night. With a blade
most would kill to claim, Aris can't trust anyone. Especially not
Harlan Raker, the merciless and mysterious king's guard who betrayed
her years ago – and who may now be the key to her survival.
But Aris is hiding a secret tied to her family's death. And when it's
revealed, not even the gods will be able to stop what's coming…

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.

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

What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by
the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of Deep End.
Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out
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.
But not everything is as it seems - and clichés sometimes become plot
twists.
When Maya's brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor
end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week.
There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious
foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding
something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out
of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she
needs - even if it's a problematic one.

the sexy, funny guy behind the counter.

fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott’s
penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon—and more. What goes on
between them is hot, incredible and frequent…but also only on Scott’s
terms and always behind his closed apartment doors.
Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the
spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can’t afford to do
anything that might derail his career or the public’s image of what a
hockey captain should be. Kip is ready to go all in with Scott—but how
much longer will he have to remain a secret?
