The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!

What is wrong
 meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the 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.

Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood- $2.99 for a limited time.

“Clever, honest, sexy, funny, emotional, unique, and deeply romantic . . . Kate Goldbeck is in a class by herself!”—Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A jaded twentysomething is stuck living at home, her life on pause, when a single dad becomes her new neighbor and unexpectedly sets her life—and her heart—into motion in this modern love story from the bestselling author of You, Again.


Sometimes love shows up where you least expect it—right next door.

At twenty-six, Sam Pulaski expected to be thriving in her academic career, living on her own in some exciting city. Expectations meet reality: She has massive student loan debt from studying art history, a dead-end service industry job, a situationship that’s equal parts intoxicating and toxic. And she’s been crashing in her mom’s condo—at least it’s not a basement?—for the last five years. If she can finally get accepted into a PhD program and get out of Ohio, the adult life that’s been on hold for half her twenties will finally begin.

Her mom’s new neighbor, Nick, is the ultimate grown-up. His adult life began the moment his nine-year-old daughter, Kira, was born. Her happiness is Nick’s only priority, especially in the wake of divorce. There’s nothing he won’t do for Kira, including giving up his globe-trotting career for something more stable . . . like managing a chain restaurant.

Sam has zero interest in an ultra-dependable guy pushing forty; frankly, she’s a little afraid of kids. But with just one thin wall separating the two condos, Nick proves difficult to avoid. His quiet confidence forces Sam to grapple with the other men in her life: her emotionally derelict friendwithbenefits and her actually derelict father. As her unexpected connection with Nick heats up (and steams up his minivan windows), Sam finds herself falling fast for a man whose life is steady and settled—while hers is anything but.

Daddy Issues: A Novel (Dial Delights) by Kate Goldbeck – $1.99 for a limited time.

From the New York Times bestselling authors behind the “joyful, warm, touching” (Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author) The Unhoneymooners and Love and Other Words comes a delightfully charming love story about what happens when two assistants tasked with keeping a rocky relationship from explosion start to feel sparks of their own.

Carey Duncan has worked for home remodeling and design gurus Melissa and Rusty Tripp for nearly a decade. A country girl at heart, Carey started in their first store at sixteen, and—more than anyone would suspect—has helped them build an empire. With a new show and a book about to launch, the Tripps are on the verge of superstardom. There’s only one problem: America’s favorite couple can’t stand each other.

James McCann, MIT graduate and engineering genius, was originally hired as a structural engineer, but the job isn’t all he thought it’d be. The last straw? Both he and Carey must go on book tour with the Tripps and keep the wheels from falling off the proverbial bus.

Unfortunately, neither of them is in any position to quit. Carey needs health insurance, and James has been promised the role of a lifetime if he can just keep the couple on track for a few more weeks. While road-tripping with the Tripps up the West Coast, Carey and James vow to work together to keep their bosses’ secrets hidden, and their own jobs secure. But if they stop playing along—and start playing for keeps—they may have the chance to build something beautiful together…

From the “hilariously zany and heartfelt” (Booklist) Christina Lauren comes a romantic comedy that proves if it’s broke, you might as well fix it.

The Honey-Don’t List by Christina Lauren – $2.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

They say music has the power to heal, but for me, it was also the cause of my heartache.

Chase and I were inseparable once. Young, reckless dreamers with guitars in our hands and stars in our eyes. We were a song that the world couldn’t silence, a duo destined for greatness. But then one night, everything changed. Our song was silenced, and our bond shattered into broken chords and empty promises.

Now, years later, I’m back. Not by choice, but because my career as a country music singer is slipping through my fingers, and the only way to save it is to play a charity concert in the place where it all began. A chance to prove to the world, and myself, that I still belong in the spotlight.

But returning home also means facing Chase, the boy who became a man I no longer recognize. Our past wounds still raw, and the scars we both hide threaten to tear us apart once again. The music we used to create together still lingers in my heart, but is it enough to mend what was broken? Or have we strayed too far from our harmonious melody to ever find it again?

This is my second chance, a chance to turn heartbreak into hope, to rewrite the song of our past and create a new melody for our future. But it will take courage, to face the music of our past and risk everything – love, legacy, and even my very soul.

Will our love be strong enough to overcome the pain of our past?

Rediscover the magic of The Falconer Trilogy – now reimagined for adult romantasy fans with new spicy content!

Set in Victorian-era Scotland, this historical romantasy adventure will sweep you away

***

Hunt the fae. Cage the monsters. Guard the prison.

Aileana Kameron is no ordinary Victorian debutante. By day, she navigates the glittering society of 1844 Edinburgh. By night, she battles the deadly fae that threaten humanity. For centuries, her family has upheld a sacred duty: ensuring the ancient, magical prison beneath the city stays sealed.

But cracks are forming in the barrier. The monsters she once hunted now hunt her, and the fate of the world teeters on the edge. To stand a chance, Aileana must turn to Kiaran MacKay, a breathtakingly dangerous fae assassin whose dark past hides secrets as sharp as his blades.

Their alliance is as treacherous as it is intoxicating. Passion ignites between them, as fiery as the battles raging in Edinburgh’s streets. But every choice comes with a cost, and as the death toll rises, Aileana is forced to confront a harrowing question:

How far is she willing to go to save her city, her loved ones – and herself?

Because if she fails, the fae will break free. And once they do, nothing will stop their vengeance.
