From the bestselling author of Unlikely Story comes a warm, witty novel about a chef whose unexpected summer in Italy turns messier and richer than any recipe she ever would’ve planned.
Between a breakup and a burned-down restaurant, there’s nothing left in New York for Kit Roth except the ashes of her success.
Needing distance and distraction, she agrees to work for her best friend’s pasta-making nonna in the Italian countryside. But instead of providing a quiet sabbatical to eat up time while her kitchen is rebuilt, the small town of Manciano keeps pulling Kit into its rituals and rhythms. And before long, it shows her everything she’s been missing. Simpler cooking, community…and Nico Ruspoli, an olive oil producer with his own scorched past. But with Kit determined to leave after three months, and Nico rooted to his grove, their growing chemistry is at odds with what they both want for their future.
Yet with each passing week, Kit finds herself measuring less and tasting more. And when it’s time to go back to her life in New York, she doesn’t know what—or who—she’s willing to leave behind.

Now, Daniel’s relieved to have a job at a small college in Holiday, Northern Michigan, but he’s a city boy through and through, and it’s clear that this small town is one more place he won’t fit in.
Rex Vale clings to routine to keep loneliness at bay: honing his muscular body, perfecting his recipes, and making custom furniture. Rex has lived in Holiday for years, but his shyness and imposing size have kept him from connecting with people.
When the two men meet, their chemistry is explosive, but Rex fears Daniel will be another in a long line of people to leave him, and Daniel has learned that letting anyone in can be a fatal weakness. Just as they begin to break down the walls keeping them apart, Daniel is called home to Philadelphia, where he discovers a secret that changes the way he understands everything.

As a rival pack closes in with threats that escalate from intimidation to kidnapping, and a deadly enemy emerges from the shadows, Gabe and Eli are forced together by something neither can control.

A young man investigating his father’s crimes is determined to uncover the truth in a gripping novel of suspense about family secrets, betrayal, and the weight of the past.
What do I remember about the murder on the lake?
Charlie Kilgore was too young to remember anything, really, about how events on the lake unfolded twenty-five years ago. He just knows what he’s been told: that his father stabbed a man to death, left Charlie’s mother critically wounded, and then disappeared, never to be seen again. Now Charlie believes there must be more to what happened.
Using the shards of the story he’s uncovered so far as the heart of a true crime podcast, Charlie returns to his hometown in the foothills of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Old friends, family, authorities, and even collateral victims have moved on, and no one wants to dredge up what’s long forgotten. Except Charlie. He wants to know what could have transformed a quiet man into a monster. And what happened next.
But when Charlie starts asking questions of people with so much to hide, getting to the truth becomes dangerous. Because on this lake—in this family—the past isn’t dead and buried at all. In fact, it’s back with a vengeance.

Rome Beneventi is a walking, talking bad decision—six feet, five inches of tattoos, temptation, and trouble wrapped in a smirk and dipped in sin. This MMA champion should come with a warning label . . . or at the very least a disclaimer.
I sell books, and he breaks bones.
We are not on the same page.
At least not until he discovers my secret and instead of keeping it, blackmails me into fake dating him.
Now I’m living in his house.
Lying to my family and friends.
Playing nice for the cameras.
And trying not to melt every time he calls me “baby” like it’s more than a show.
I told myself I’d never fall for him.
That I was too smart to love the devil in designer clothes.
But the thing about enemies?
Sometimes they’re the only ones who see you clearly.
And faking it with Rome Beneventi? Yeah . . . it stopped feeling fake a long time ago.

A strong match for romantasy readers who like academy trials, political intrigue, found family, and slow-burning tension.

She will not let the sharpened words of men who call themselves nobles and kings cut deeper than they deserve. If they cannot wound her, they cannot control her. And if they cannot control her, then freedom is hers to claim—despite her feeling anything but free. But when an unexpected opportunity arises, Lyra is thrust into the deadly entrance exams of an elite academy, where only nobility thrive. But first, she must strike a blood wager with a capricious king—one that could win Lyra her freedom or cost her life… if the exams don’t kill her first.
A world that rejects her. A forgotten journal that will redefine her. A band of dangerous wielders that hunt her. And then there is him—the one who found her, who should have been nothing more than a mentor—the person to unravel her.
But Lyra is not here for love. She is here to win. And as the walls she has spent years fortifying begin to fracture as truth after daunting truth break free—
The world will come to understand…
A girl who refuses to lose does not break.
She erupts.
A Requiem for Fallen Stars is a fast-paced, emotionally charged fantasy romance where power is a game, freedom comes at a price, and love is the most dangerous risk of all. With unique trials, forgotten knowledge, and a heroine who refuses to break, this novel is perfect for fans of high-stakes political intrigue, slow-burning tension, found family, and the kind of sharp-edged romance that lingers long after the final page.

Why Readers Use Apropos Books
Most deal pages hand you a giant pile of discounts and call that helpful. Readers still have to do the real work afterward.
Apropos Books filters first, so you spend less time sorting through forgettable discounts and more time finding books you may genuinely want to read.
Filtered for readers
We look for books people have genuinely enjoyed, not titles getting attention just because the price dropped low enough.
Fresh picks, updated daily
New eBook deals show up every day, so there’s always something new to browse without circling the same tired list.
Easier to browse
When a list is filtered first, it’s much easier to spot something that fits your mood, instead of opening 14 tabs just to end up mildly annoyed.
Less scrolling, more confidence
A shorter, better-filtered list makes it easier to browse with a little trust. You don’t have to wonder whether every deal is there just because it exists.
How Apropos Works
Getting started is simple. You tell us what kinds of books you want more of, and we send a curated list of deals without the usual clutter.
Less wandering around. More books that actually look worth opening.
Pick your genres
Choose the genres you read, whether that’s fantasy, thrillers, romance, or a few at once. Reading moods are unpredictable. Your inbox can handle that.
Skip the junk
We look for real deals and screen out the usual clutter. No clickbait. No bloated lists. No inbox full of books that are only there because they were cheap enough to qualify.
Check your inbox
Your curated list arrives with fresh picks, short blurbs, and clear links, so you can scan it quickly and decide what looks promising without turning the whole thing into homework.
Shop securely
When something catches your eye, click through and buy directly from the retailer, including Amazon, Kobo, or Barnes & Noble when available.
Support Apropos at no extra cost
If you buy through one of our links, Apropos may earn a small affiliate commission at no extra cost to you.
Read more, search less
The goal isn’t to flood your inbox with discounts. It’s to make book discovery feel easier, faster, and a lot less random.
A typical Apropos email is built to be easy to scan.
You’ll usually get three to five featured books, each with a cover, a short blurb, and the current discount. It’s enough to give you a real sense of the book, not so much that the email turns into homework before breakfast.
The tone stays short, clear, and reader-friendly. No hard sell. No random extras. Just a daily or near-daily list, depending on how active your genres are.
You should be able to open it, spot something interesting, and move on with your day in about the same amount of time it takes to regret opening a crowded deals page.
Some people want more book discounts.
Apropos readers usually want something a little more useful than that. A lower price, yes, but also a book that sounds right for the night, the weekend, or the oddly specific mood they are trying to solve.
