About the book
A bestselling romance author flees to Alaska to reinvent herself and write her first murder mystery, but the rugged resort proprietor soon has her fearing she’s living in a rom-com plot instead in this internationally bestselling debut by Victoria Lavine.
Beloved romance author Margot Bradley has a dark secret: she doesn’t believe in Happily Ever Afters. Not for herself, not for her readers, and not even for her characters, for whom she secretly writes alternate endings that swap weddings and babies for divorce papers and the occasional slashed tire. When her Happily Never After document is hacked and released to the public, she finds herself canceled by her readers and dropped by her publisher.
Desperate to find a way to continue supporting her chronically ill sister, Savannah, Margot decides to trade meet-cutes for murder. The fictional kind. Probably. But when Savannah books Margot a six-week stay in a remote Alaskan resort to pen her first murder mystery, Margot finds herself running from a moose and leaping into the arms of the handsome proprietor, making her fear she’s just landed in a romance novel instead.
The last thing Dr. Forrest Wakefield ever expected was to leave his dream job as a cancer researcher to become a glorified bellhop. What he’s really doing at his family’s resort is caring for his stubborn, ailing father, and his puzzle-loving mind is slowly freezing over—until Margot shows up. But Forrest doesn’t have any room in his life for another person he could lose, especially one with a checkout date.
As long snowy nights and one unlikely trope after another draw Margot and Forrest together, they’ll each have to learn to overcome their fears and set their aside assumptions before Margot leaves—or risk becoming a Happily Never After story themselves.

Matteo Marchetti is the loudest man on the Atlanta Firebirds and the founder of the team book club. He's narrated every teammate's love story like a personal mission. But his own life is a locked door. He deflects with comedy, and nobody on this roster has ever looked underneath.

About the book
Someone’s stalking me. Muscled. Masked. Older. Powerful enough to ruin me … and obsessed enough to make me fall.
Zee
I feel him watching
The sculpted man in the sugar skull mask
He knows my every move, my every weakness
My every hidden desire
After my father’s mysterious death, I’m pushed into a secret world I don’t understand
But nothing prepared me for him
Off-limits.
Forbidden.
Dangerous.
I shouldn’t fall for the voice that makes me quiver, or for the touch that makes my body betray my mind
He knows things he shouldn’t
He sees parts of me I try to hide
The closer I get, the more twisted secrets I find behind that mask
And the harder it is to escape his grasp
The day I met the masked man who watches me from the shadows is the day I should’ve run
Sugar Skull
Zee was never meant to be mine
Too close
Too young
Too tempting to ignore
I’ve watched her longer than she knows, and now I’m addicted
To every step
To every quiver
To every moment she thinks she’s alone
Men who touch her won’t walk away
I’ll make sure they’ll painfully pay
She thinks she’s being hunted
Well, she is
And I always finish what I start
It’s you and me until the end, angel.
Promise.

About the book
Ronan
I used to be a cop, and now I kill people for fun. Yeah, yeah I know. Never admit to your crimes. But you don’t know who I am. To you, I’m just words in a blurb. Besides, I don’t plan on living that long anyway.
The system has failed us. There is no justice. So, before I go, I’ll be the justice.
You know. AKAB. All Killers Are Bastards, or however the fuck the saying goes.
Logan
I kill people because they deserve it. But, suddenly, there’s a copycat mimicking my style and stealing my marks. To top it all off, this copycat reminds me of someone. Someone very painful to remember.
I won’t let this slide. Fuck Ronan Carter for making me remember, and fuck him for stealing my kills. He’s going down. You can be sure of that.
Dakota
I’ve been a cop for over a decade. But there’s one kind of case I won’t work—crimes against children. Suddenly, pedophiles start turning up dead all over town. There are multiple serial killers on the loose, and despite not wanting to dig into my past, it’s my job to find them.
To find them and to stop them.

About the book
Two secret pasts... one passionate love story.
Taryn Malone is stranded, broke, and desperate for help. But even if the sexy bartender she's been eyeing offers her a job for the evening... even if he seduces her with his impossibly intense blue eyes... even if every fiber of her heart tells her to stay with him... she can't.
Because Taryn Malone doesn't exist.
Jake Callaghan has been running the family's Irish pub for years now. When he sees Taryn standing out alone in the rain, he does what he's been trained to do as a SEAL - he rescues her. It has nothing to do with her full, firm curves, or her loose, golden-blonde hair, or the way she brushes against him that sends lightning bolts through his body. It's just the right thing to do.
Really
But both Taryn and Jake are hiding secrets from each other. Dangerous secrets. And neither one of them knows just how dangerous it can be to fall in love...

About the book
IVAN
I’ve spent seven years searching for the boy who taught me how to survive. Jay and I were foster brothers in the same house, hiding from an abusive alcoholic who made fear a daily rule. He taught me when to stay silent, when to disappear, when to run. At night, we hid in the barn and memorized facts about each other—names, birthdays, scars—because we knew we could be separated at any moment. We made a vow that no matter where they sent us, no matter how long it took, we would find each other again.
When I finally find Jay years later, he isn’t the boy I knew. He’s broken in ways that don’t heal cleanly, carrying what was done to him like it’s carved into his bones. But I made him a promise, and I intend to keep it. I didn’t survive all those years to lose him again.
JAY
I learned young that nothing stays, not homes and not safety. The only thing that ever felt solid was a boy who survived with me until they ripped us apart.
After that, I learned how to numb my pain. I told myself the boy I remembered was gone forever, because believing anything else hurt too much. Then he’s back in my life, and I want things I don’t deserve. I want him in ways I’m terrified to ask for.
Letting him close means letting him see the parts of me I keep buried, the damage I pretend doesn’t exist. If he really sees me, he’ll leave. And I don’t know if I’d survive losing him twice.
Remember My Name is a deeply emotional gay M/M hurt/comfort romance about found family, healing from trauma, recovery, and lasting love.

Unfortunately for her, on her first day of chess club, she gets paired with an arrogant, flirty, hotshot quarterback with an affinity for pushing her buttons. Even worse? He’s better than her at chess.
He thinks she’s gorgeous.
