Yara and Xander are both writers on a major TV series. But that's where the similarities end. Yara loves romance, but Xander doesn't see the point. He is only interested in the greats: Kubrick, Scorsese, Tarantino. He doesn't have Instagram, hasn't read a book published this century. When they're tasked with writing the season finale together, they know the episode needs them both - romance and drama, head and heart. Can they put aside their differences to create something remarkable?
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.

A competitive diver and an ace swimmer jump into forbidden waters in this steamy college romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.
Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A Junior at Stanford and a student-athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on recovering from the injury that almost ended her career. She has no time for relationships—at least, that’s what she tells herself.
Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy, Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It’s how he wins gold medals and breaks records: complete focus, with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.
So they start an arrangement. And as the pressure leading to the Olympics heats up, so does their relationship. It was supposed to be just a temporary, mutually satisfying fling. But when staying away from Lukas becomes impossible, Scarlett realizes that her heart might be treading into dangerous water...

Noah
Maya Alatorre is the sister of my teammate…and my new obsession.
Keeping my distance during the Formula 1 season should be easy, except
I always find ways to see her.

The more time we spend together, the stronger my desire grows.
Sneaking around with her is one thing, but wanting more?
Never going to happen.
She might be a distraction dressed like a daydream, but no woman is
worth risking the championship title over.
Or so I thought.

Vern, a hunted woman alone in the woods, gives birth to twins and
raises them away from the influence of the outside world. But something
is wrong - not with them, but with her own body. It's changing, it's
itching, it's stronger, it's... not normal.
To understand her body's metamorphosis, Vern must investigate not just
the secluded religious compound she fled but the violent history of
dehumanization, medical experimentation, and genocide that produced it.
In the course of reclaiming her own darkness, Vern learns that monsters
aren't just individuals, but entire histories, systems, and nations.
Sorrowland is a memorable work of Gothic fiction that wrestles with the
tangled history of racism in America and the marginalisation of
society's undesirables. It is a searing, seminal book that marks the
arrival of a bold, unignorable voice in American fiction.
Joel’s heart stops as the rest of the world welcomes the start of a new
century. What happens next will change the course of three people’s
lives forever . . .
It’s nearly midnight on the eve of the millennium when
eighteen-year-old Joel’s heart stops. A school friend, Kerry, performs
CPR for almost twenty exhausting minutes, ultimately saving Joel’s
life, while her best friend Tim freezes, unable to help.
That moment of life and death changes the course of all three lives
over the next two decades: each time Kerry, Joel and Tim believe
they’ve found love, discovered their vocation, or simply moved on,
their lives collide again.
Structured around the four simple steps involved in CPR, Eva Carter’s
How to Save a Life is both a love story and an exploration of what it
means to be brave – because bravery isn’t just about life or death
decisions; it’s also about how to keep on living afterwards . . .
He kissed his best friend's little sister, and the world stood still.
That night, they were two perfect strangers: the town's grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until they weren't. Because Nadia Dalca isn't just some girl. She's the one girl Griffin Sinclaire can't have. Fourteen years younger than him and completely off-limits.
After their forbidden kiss, Griffin's plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing them together. It's like some sort of cosmic joke, to give him a taste of something so electric―so real―something that breathed life back into him. Because he can look, but he can't touch her again.
But with her sinful curves, her lighthearted laugher, and her secret wild side, Griffin's addicted to every last bit of her. And when she turns those sultry eyes on him―the ones so full of longing, so free of judgment? Well, he's always considered himself a strong man, but for her, he's weak.
To give in to their connection would be a betrayal. Griffin's life is beyond complicated, and Nadia has the world at her fingertips. Her brother is the only family she has left, and as sad as it sounds, he's also Griffin's only friend.
But he kissed her again anyway.
A REASON TO LIVE. Still grieving the death of her best friend, Erin knows she needs to start living - but has no idea how. Then she loses her favourite book, a heavily annotated and containing her friend's final words to her. A REASON TO LOVE. When James finds Erin's note-filled book in his local community library, it sparks a lifechanging conversation. He writes his own message back, and soon they are locked in an anonymous book exchange, with no idea who the other person in the margins might be. A REASON TO FORGIVE? But Erin and James have a shared history that neither of them realise. How will Erin react when she discovers the other writer isn't a stranger at all - but the person she once swore she'd never forgive?

Can they save themselves? Or will they destroy each other?
Ruby is in shock: Her worst nightmare has come true, and now Oxford and
all her dreams that finally seemed within reach are at risk. Worst of
all, everything points to James as the one responsible, even after
everything they’ve been through together. Ruby thought that she had met
the real James—the one who has his own dreams, the one who makes her
laugh and makes her heart beat faster with a single glance.
However, after an explosive fight between the two, they discover a
terrible truth. Together, Ruby fights to graduate, as James tries to
clear her name at school. But that means once again James must
challenge his father and his expectations for him. And despite
everything, James still threatens to break under the obligations to his
family. Ruby and James must ask themselves if the worlds they live in
are perhaps too different after all, or if they can finally find a way
back to each other.
