the big-hitting, small-town series from TikTok sensation Elsie Silver.
Perfect for fans of Devney Perry, Lucy Score and B.K. Borison.
Two childhood best friends. Two broken hearts. One impromptu road trip
to get away from everything.
I've been living in the friend zone for years now.
To Jasper Gervais's fans, he's just the hockey heartthrob on TV. But to
me, he's still the lost boy with sad eyes and a heart of gold. The man
I've loved in secret for years.
So when my life falls apart on my wedding day, it only makes sense that
he's the one to swoop in and save me. And when his world comes crashing
down around him, I'm there to return the favour.
But the more time alone we spend together, the more I start to realise
that Jasper isn't looking at me like a friend anymore. And he isn't
touching me like one, either.
He acts like he wants me.
But after years of turning me away, he's going to need to prove it . . .
An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate…only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.
Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.
Six months ago, Clementine West had the worst day of her life. So, she came up with a plan to keep her heart safe: stay busy, work hard, take no risks. And it’s been working. That is until one day she finds a strange man standing in her kitchen. A man with kind eyes, a crooked smile, and a recipe for the perfect lemon meringue pie. The kind of man that, before everything, she could have fallen for . . .
He’s perfect but for one thing: he lives in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact.
This should be impossible, but Clementine used to love impossible things. And maybe, just maybe, she will again. After all, love is never a matter of time – but a matter of timing.

The Hunger Games meets vampires in the stunning second book in the
Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent, sequel to the New York
Times bestselling The Serpent and the Wings of Night.
Love is a sacrifice at the altar of power.
In the wake of the bloody tournament known as the Kejari, Oraya is now
a prisoner in her own kingdom and grieving the only family she ever
had. She's left with only one certainty: she cannot trust anyone, least
of all Raihn, the vampire who betrayed her.
The House of Night, too, is surrounded by enemies. Raihn's own nobles
are none too eager to accept a Turned king, especially one who was once
a slave. And the House of Blood has dug their claws into the kingdom,
threatening to tear it apart from the inside. When Raihn offers Oraya a
secret alliance, taking the deal is her only chance at reclaiming her
kingdom - and seeking her revenge against the lover who betrayed her.
But to do so, she'll need to harness an ancient power, intertwined with
her father's greatest secrets.
With enemies closing in on all sides, Oraya finds herself forced to
choose between the bloody reality of seizing power - and the
devastating love that could be her downfall.
Filled with heart-wrenching romance, dark magic and bloodthirsty
intrigue, The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King is the second book in the
Crowns of Nyaxia series, the bestselling TikTok sensation by Carissa
Broadbent.
This new edition of the bestselling The Ashes & the Star-Cursed
King features a detailed map and a never-before-seen bonus chapter.
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.

The house is a refuge providing comfort . . . but each of them will learn that to move forward and face their challenges, they must be true to themselves and come together to support one another.
He's a boy who's lost. She's girl who might just be the home he's never had.
The second born son in a broken marriage, Joey Lynch has spent a lifetime picking up the pieces of a family unravelling. When his older brother Darren skips town, twelve-year-old Joey finds himself thrown into the role of protector to his younger siblings and mother.

The only light in his sea of darkness is his boss's firecracker of a daughter who refuses to back down. A girl who just so happens to be his classmate.
Aoife Molloy has never been backwards in coming forward. Her bubbly and self-assured nature has never led her astray. Until her first day of secondary school when she collides with a hot-headed boy who sparks a burning curiosity inside of her that only grows stronger by the day.
Falling into a complicated friendship with her father's apprentice, Aoife works to unravels the secrets around Joey Lynch's life - while he desperately fights to keep her out.

a journey to the underworld to resurrect the god of death himself. But
Mische is offered a chance at salvation by her sun god. All she has to
do is betray Asar – and kill the god of death.
In the underworld, Mische and Asar must face treacherous trials,
colossal beasts and the vengeful ghosts of their pasts. But most
dangerous of all is the alluring call of the darkness, and Mische’s
forbidden attraction to Asar. As the moment of her betrayal looms,
Mische is forced to choose between faith and love – a decision that
could lead to her redemption or her ruin . . .

From global phenomenon Callie Hart
comes a highly addictive enemies-to-lovers Romantasy with razor-sharp
banter, heart-stopping action, and blistering hot romance that you
won't be able to put down!
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
re-opens 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 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 . . .

Duty. Blood. Honor. Power.

crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's life
is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders. Her ward—and
her brother—need her back in her homeland…but the changes that have

in her stead....

again.

she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common
folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum's windswept moors to
learn their futures by her dreams.
Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a
mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and
devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil's
visions. But when Sybil's fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one,
she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world
outside the cathedral's cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods
have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she'd rather avoid
Rodrick's dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.
In the shadows and flames, Primals will fall… And from the blood and ash, new gods will rise.
