Housemates.
Dogsitters.
F*** buddies.
Only for the summer.
Cool?
Cool.Donovan
When my honeymooning best friend asks me to abandon my beloved Manhattan to house sit for him in Rosedale, Connecticut, I plan to use my small-town summer to finish my unfinishable play. Until it turns out the house was double-booked, and I suddenly have a roommate for the summer. Honestly, Beck’s not so bad—he’s either sunning in a Speedo or baking cookies that taste like my childhood—but how can I get any work done with that kind of distraction?
Beck
After dropping out of law school, I need to figure out my next act, but I’d rather procrastinate by the pool while house sitting for my cousin. I wasn’t expecting company, but I’m happy to share, especially since Donovan is as hot as the pavement in July. He seems to be into me, too, but I don’t do one-time hook-ups and he’s definitely not in the market for a boyfriend.
So we make a deal. Two months. Roommates-with-benefits. No strings.
But as summer wears on, our arrangement feels more like a relationship than some of the relationships I’ve been in, and it’s clear I’m not getting out of this with my heart intact. I’m not only falling in love with Donovan, I’m also falling in love with Rosedale. Will I be able to leave Rosedale, and Donovan, behind?
Cool for the Summer is a stand-alone, slow burn, roommates-to-lovers, summer fling story with a dash of cookie baking and plenty of sweet and steamy small-town goodness.

An Indie Bestseller!
In a country divided between humans and witchers, Venus Stoneheart hustles as a brewer making illegal love potions to support her family.
Love potions is a dangerous business. Brewing has painful, debilitating side effects, and getting caught means death or a prison sentence. But what Venus is most afraid of is the dark, sentient magic within her.
Then an enemy’s iron bullet kills her mother, Venus’s life implodes. Keeping her reckless little sister Janus safe is now her responsibility. When the powerful Grand Witcher, the ruthless head of her coven, offers Venus the chance to punish her mother’s killer, she has to pay a steep price for revenge. The cost? Brew poisonous potions to enslave D.C.’s most influential politicians.
As Venus crawls deeper into the corrupt underbelly of her city, the line between magic and power blurs, and it’s hard to tell who to trust…Herself included.
The Poisons We Drink is a potent YA debut about a world where love potions are weaponized against hate and prejudice, sisterhood is unbreakable, and self-love is life and death.
The Poisons We Drink by Bethany Baptiste – $1.99 for a limited time.

For fans of Knives Out and The Thursday Murder Club, an enormously fun mystery about a woman who spends her entire life trying to prevent her foretold murder only to be proven right sixty years later, when she is found dead in her sprawling country estate…. Now it’s up to her great-niece to catch the killer.
It’s 1965 and teenage Frances Adams is at an English country fair with her two best friends. But Frances’s night takes a hairpin turn when a fortune-teller makes a bone-chilling prediction: One day, Frances will be murdered. Frances spends a lifetime trying to solve a crime that hasn’t happened yet, compiling dirt on every person who crosses her path in an effort to prevent her own demise. For decades, no one takes Frances seriously, until nearly sixty years later, when Frances is found murdered, like she always said she would be.
In the present day, Annie Adams has been summoned to a meeting at the sprawling country estate of her wealthy and reclusive great-aunt Frances. But by the time Annie arrives in the quaint English village of Castle Knoll, Frances is already dead. Annie is determined to catch the killer, but thanks to Frances’s lifelong habit of digging up secrets and lies, it seems every endearing and eccentric villager might just have a motive for her murder. Can Annie safely unravel the dark mystery at the heart of Castle Knoll, or will dredging up the past throw her into the path of a killer?
As Annie gets closer to the truth, and closer to the danger, she starts to fear she might inherit her aunt’s fate instead of her fortune.
How to Solve Your Own Murder: A Novel (Castle Knoll Files Book 1) by Kristen Perrin- $1.99 for a limited time.
