Two strangers find themselves stranded at sea together in this epic new love story by bestselling author Beth O’Leary.

What if you were lost at sea…with your one-night stand?

Zeke and Lexi thought it would just be a night of fun. They had no intentions of seeing each other again. Zeke is only in town for the weekend to buy back his late father’s houseboat. Lexi has no time for dating when she needs to help take care of her best friend’s daughter.

Going back home with a stranger seems like a perfect escape from their problems. But a miscommunication in the dark, foggy night means no one tied the houseboat to the dock. The next morning, Zeke and Lexi realize all they can see is miles and miles of water.

With just a few provisions on the idle boat, Zeke and Lexi must figure out how to get back home. But aside from their survival, they’re facing another challenge. Because when you’re stuck together for days on end, it gives you a lot of time to get to know someone—and to fall in love with them.

Swept Away by Beth O’Leary – $1.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

Always each other’s plus-ones, but never each other’s real dates, two childhood best friends have one last summer wedding to fall in love in this dual-narrative debut. Available while supplies last, this stunning edition features designed sprayed edges!

One of The Washington Post’s ‘8 Romance Novels to Read this Summer’!

“Left me feeling desperately romantic. Prepare for a book hangover—I loved it.” —Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of Summer Romance

Best friends Joni and Ren have been inseparable since childhood. So when Joni moves across the country for her job, the two devise a creative way to stay in touch: they’ll be each other’s plus-ones every year for wedding season, no matter what else is happening in their lives.

It’s a tradition that works, until a line is crossed and the friendship they once thought was forever is ruined.

Now Joni is back at their families’ shared summer home for her sister’s wedding, and she’s determined to make the week perfect, even if it means faking a friendship with Ren—and avoiding the truth of why they have to fake it in the first place. How hard can it be to pretend to be friends with the person who once knew you best?

But as sunny beach days together turn into starry nights, Joni begins to question what her life is without Ren in it. And when the wedding arrives, bringing past heartaches to the surface, she’ll be forced to decide if loving Ren means letting him go, or if theirs is a love story worth fighting for.

“Your heart will explode when you read this book. I defy you not to fall in love with Joni and Ren.” —Tessa Bickers, USA Today bestselling author of The Book Swap

Perfect for fans of:

  • The Summer I Turned Pretty and People We Meet on Vacation

Instant USA TODAY bestseller!

From New York Times bestselling author Tricia O’Malley, Charmed meets The Pumpkin Spice Café in this cozy romantasy about a witch returning to Scotland to break a family curse—only to clash with one grumpy Scotsman determined to protect his town from her haywire magic.

She’s hexed. He’s vexed. And for Scotland’s most magical small-town, their feud might just spell disaster.

Sloane MacGregor swore she’d never return to Briarhaven, but with her twenty-fifth birthday looming—the day witches come into their magic—her grandmother summons her and her sisters back for one tiny task: break the centuries-old curse haunting their bloodline.

Knox Douglas, Briarhaven’s grumpy mayor, has worked tirelessly to make his town a haven for magical folk. The last thing he needs is a cursed MacGregor wreaking havoc. It doesn’t matter he once crushed on her. For the sake of Briarhaven, Sloane has to go.

But magic has other plans—and in Briarhaven, love really is a witch.

Love’s a Witch: A Cozy Fantasy Romance (The Scottish Charms Series Book 1) by Tricia O’Malley- $1.99 for a limited time.

A DESPERATE THIEF. A MAGICAL BOOK. A HEIST FOR THE AGES.

‘History and enchantment woven in a seamless, intricate tapestry’ Sarah Rees Brennan 
‘Intricately plotted and vividly imagined’ M.A. Kuzniar 

There’s only one thing notorious thief Lyta loves more than a big score: her little brother, Kit. But when Kit is arrested for producing seditious pamphlets, he stands to lose not only his printing press, but possibly his life.

In exchange for her brother’s freedom, Lyta strikes a daring bargain with the king -she will steal the infamous Book of Gold: a mysterious manuscript reputed to be hiding vast magical power within.

It’s just the kind of challenge Lyta relishes, but she didn’t bargain for a secretive scholar, her brother’s interference, or the return of handsome and brooding Captain Sylvian Chant, once her lover and partner in crime, now an incorruptible royal bodyguard . . .

Tropes included:
✅ Magical Heist
✅ Childhood friends to enemies…to lovers
✅ Second chance romance
✅ Alt History Renaissance
✅ Found family

The Book of Gold: the first magical book heist novel in the Feral Gods trilogy by Ruth Frances Long – $1.99 for a limited time.

Amazon

This “darkly romantic and completely absorbing” (The New York Times) slow-burn gothic fantasy romance follows a young woman haunted by the ghosts of her past and a ruthless merchant known as the Saint of Silence, who promises her greatest desire in return for her darkest secret. . . .

Leena didn’t believe in monsters until she saw Weavingshaw.

The Saint of Silence trades coins for every sordid divulgence uttered to him: the darker the secret, the higher the price.

Leena has a secret, one that has haunted her since she was seventeen—she can see the dead. When her brother falls ill, she knows she must seek the Saint to afford a remedy.

But Leena’s secret is more valuable than she could have imagined. To save her brother, she will make a deal to find the ghost the Saint has been searching for.

All paths lead to Weavingshaw, a cursed estate on the moors. As Leena grows closer to the Saint and is plunged into his world of danger, deceit, and desire, she learns that he is hiding his own secrets—ones with the power to destroy them all.

Weavingshaw by Heba Al-Wasity – $1.99 for a limited time.
