About the book
Pine Valley is a school that’s rich in both history and legacy, and it’s once more opening its doors to another year of students.
Mackie Draper has wanted to be a race car driver since he first saw Noah Fletcher compete when he was a kid. He never expected to become a driver for Noah himself at the prestigious Starfire Racing, nor did he expect to fall in love with his boss, but here he is. Unfortunately, Noah doesn’t feel the same way, and Mackie’s broken heart might not be the only thing lost this season.
Noah Fletcher is a champion, with more wins under his belt than any other driver. Now, he’s the owner of Starfire Racing, and the only thing he wants is to lead his team to victory. He never expected the complication of a young driver, Mackie, nor how it would feel when he realizes Mackie might have given up on both him and Starfire.
Conan White is no stranger to tragedy. Having lost his partner when he was young, he promised he would never take life for granted again, but a chance encounter with an up-and-coming race team in Pine Valley reminds him of this vow. When his past and present collide, Conan does his best to fight for a heart he doesn’t own with one that remains broken.
What happens when love is realized too late?
With more than just winning on the line, it’s time to race toward their future.
Can Mackie, Noah, and Conan survive Pine Valley, or will sharing hearts be all that’s left?

About the book
When spreadsheets are safer than people, falling in love becomes the ultimate risk in this powerful novel of trauma, healing, and unexpected courage from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee.
Luna Canning trusts numbers more than people—and for good reason. As a forensic accountant who specializes in exposing fraud, she knows numbers never deceive, unlike the toxic family she’s spent a lifetime trying to escape. Now living in her grandmother’s Victorian home, Luna has built a carefully ordered life behind walls she thought were unbreakable.
When her car is stolen from an airport parking lot, former FBI agent turned PI Nate Warren steps in to help—and proves more dangerous to her defenses than any thief. Despite Luna’s ironclad rules about mixing business with pleasure, their chemistry ignites, and for the first time, she considers letting someone past her guard. But just as their relationship begins to blossom, Luna’s manipulative mother arrives unannounced, dragging with her a dangerous man and decades of unresolved trauma that threaten everything Luna has built.
Now Luna must confront the ghosts of her past—both metaphorical and possibly literal, as strange occurrences in her historic home suggest she’s not alone. With a violent threat looming and her heart on the line, Luna discovers that sometimes the hardest person to trust is yourself.

About the book
My name is Nikolaj Dragovich.
Pakhan of the Bratva. Blade of Moscow. Weapon turned king.
When I left Vintermoor, I walked away with a fractured skull and a mind full of cracks. Whatever I was before died somewhere between those walls, and what rose after was a man my father never managed to mold. A man without mercy. A man without fear. A man even the Five Families are suddenly eager to bow to.
Duty was never a choice, so why does the night refuse to leave me in peace?
Why do I hear a voice in my dreams that tightens like a hand around my throat, whispering a name I should know? Why does a phantom memory cut deeper than any blade when I can’t place the face behind it?
I don’t remember the life I left behind eight years ago.
But it remembers me.
This is book 2 in the Ruin and Royalty Duet. Conquestand the prequelEmpireneed to be read first to understand the plot behind Reign. This is the final installment, with a guaranteed HEA.

About the book
Humans destroyed the world. The Fae rebuilt it with magic. Thousands of years later, they battle over the last habitable piece of earth … sworn enemies until only one race remains.
Once a ruthless protector of Fae, wolf-shifter Rush now lives in exile—invisible, a criminal, and dying from a curse. Desperate to return to his life as a protector of Elphyne, he battles monsters to channel his inner rage. But when one turns up near his isolated cabin begging for help, everything changes.
Clarke is human, beautiful, and a feisty grifter. She's the sunshine to his grump, and the only one who sees through his curse. But that's not the only surprise. She has a message from the past … sins are repeating. If humans and fae don’t work together, it won’t just be just magic that dies. It will be everything.
Refusing to trust a known liar, Rush tricks Clarke into a bargain of obedience. If he hands her over to the authorities, she’s his ticket to freedom. To life. But the more time they spend together, the more he realizes she’s not the monster he’s trained to believe. In fact, she incites a passion he never dreamed possible again.
Soon, he must choose between freedom and trusting those who betrayed him … or spending his remaining days with the enemy who captured his heart.

I never imagined the ruthless Titan would choose me as his rebellion, or that I’d become his shield.
Hockey was supposed to be my ticket to stability, earning me a scholarship for an education I could never have afforded on my own.
Until Connor Walsh, the ruthless star of the Crestwood hockey team and my captain, corners me with an ultimatum that changes everything.

Now I'm trapped in their war, shielding the one person who should be my enemy and learning all over again that safety is just another thing people like me don’t get.
I keep telling myself to hold back, that getting close only leads to hurt. But every day I spend with Connor pulls me in a little more.
And falling for my husband is worse than anything the ruthless titan can threaten me with.
Because love—family—well, they never last.
This steamy MM hockey romance that is perfect for readers who wanted Heated Rivalry to go darker – with a ruthless captain, a coerced marriage, and a war that turns into all‑consuming love.

Choosing what I loved the most about this book is a difficult decision to make. This is because I literally loved every bit of it. OnlineBookClub.org
Los Angeles. 1993.
One band chasing rock-and-roll immortality…
and one man about to lose everything for it.
The parties are wild, the music is loud, and one rising band is chasing rock-and-roll immortality.
For twenty-seven-year-old Cory Scott, success isn’t optional—it’s a promise. His best friend died believing their band, Suicide King, would make it. Cory will do whatever it takes to prove he was right.
When legendary music producer Alexandra Blake agrees to produce their debut album, the dream finally feels within reach.
All Cory has to do is keep the band together long enough to record it.
Simple… until he meets Alexandra.
Suddenly the music isn’t the only thing pulling at him.
While Cory becomes consumed by his growing obsession with Alexandra, his band begins to fracture. Jesse’s relationship is falling apart. Trent’s drug use is spiraling out of control. And the dream they’ve sacrificed everything for is hanging by a thread.
As Cory falls deeper in love—and Alexandra falls for him—the choice he’s been avoiding becomes impossible to ignore.
When everything finally crashes down, Cory must decide what matters most:
the band that depends on him,
the dream he promised to fulfill,
or the woman he can’t live without.
L.A. DREAMS is a powerful story about friendship, ambition, love, and the price of chasing fame in the unforgettable 1990s Los Angeles music scene.

Everything comes easily for Theo Sullivan, whether it’s jumps or figure skating world titles. Everyone loves him—judges, fans, coaches.
I hate him.
Now he’s invaded my training center, and I have to see him every day as we prepare for the Olympics. I’m going to win gold if it’s the last thing I do. I’m going to beat him.

This is a mistake. I can’t trust him.
I can’t be falling in love.

My mom’s convinced training with Henry Sakaguchi will distract me heading into the Olympics. No way—Henry’s epically boring and cold. He might as well be carved from ice.

I might want Henry more than a gold medal.

In the 1930s, scandal, secret loves, and murder shatter a woman’s Hollywood dream in a gripping novel by the USA Today bestselling author of When the World Goes Quiet.
It’s 1933, and though the country is stuck in the Great Depression, movies are the ultimate escape. But Hollywood is skilled at selling lies, and nothing is as it seems.
Frankie Donnelly is scrappy, smart, and ambitious.

Frankie uncovers new layers of scandal and deception and is forced to choose which Hollywood player to protect and who to destroy.

About the book
A bisexual awakening, a closeted captain, and the NHL expansion team that becomes their found family. Co-captains. Teammates. A slow burn neither of them saw coming.
Ryan "Ash" Asher is the sunshine center who makes every locker room warmer just by showing up. Signed to the Atlanta Firebirds after a divorce he's still pretending didn't break him, he's chasing a fresh start. New city. New team. New ice. He's fine. But from the first phone call with his co-captain, something he can't explain takes hold. Ash has never wanted a man before, and Antero Ikonen is unraveling everything he thought he knew about himself.
Antero "Avi" Ikonen hasn't let anyone close in a decade. Fifteen years closeted in professional hockey. A secret relationship with a teammate that ended on a highlight reel. A trade that felt less like a roster move and more like being thrown away. Avi's job is to lead this expansion team, not fall for the too-warm center who texts at midnight and keeps finding doors in walls Avi didn't know existed.
He falls first. He falls quiet. And he can't stop.
A grumpy-sunshine, slow burn teammates romance about a bisexual awakening, a closeted captain who's been hurt before, and a stray cat at the team facility who knows what he wants before either of them do.
