About the book
From #1 New York Times Bestselling author Vi Keeland comes a new, sexy standalone novel.
The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date.
Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on.
Exactly what I needed after my breakup.
Or so I thought…
Until my real date arrived.
Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement.
Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date.
I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet.
But my real blind date and I had no connection.
So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game.
When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty.
Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period.
Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy.
A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled.
You guessed it: Dimples.
Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play.
And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood.
He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away.
Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right?
Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

About the book
Carian Cole brings you a unique angsty love story that will grab you from the first page and keep you in a chokehold.
They say you never forget your first love, and that’s true. But some loves wrap themselves around your heart and never let go. They’re not just your first love but your forever love.
That’s what Blue is to me. My first, only, and forever love.
I'll never forget the day I first saw him. He was playing the guitar in a park with his adorable dog at his side. His smile made my heart race, and his eyes stilled my soul. I was completely captivated by his alluring melancholy. We fell hard and fast, and I dreamed of a forever with him.
Then he disappeared without a trace.
Five years later, I found him. Famous. Charming. Still just as in love with me as I was with him.
But behind the fame and the sexy smile, the quiet, tortured soul I met in the park years ago still lived. I was naive. I didn’t realize that Blue, my love, was fighting a battle no one could see.
Not even me.
He called me the keeper of his heart, and I guarded it fiercely. He promised me all his tomorrows, and I cherished every single one.
I never wanted or needed a perfect love. I only wanted his love. Our love.
This is our story. It’s raw and sexy and beautiful and sad and filled with endless ups and downs.
They say love conquers all, and I hope—I believe—that’s true.

About the book
Alyssa
When my eyes met Zac's from across the bar, I knew. I knew my heart was forever lost. I also knew I could never have him. It wasn't just a matter of wrong place, wrong time.
If only it were that simple…
Being with Zac means risking everything—including my life. I know I shouldn't want him, but my heart won't listen to reason. And neither will Zac.
Can the promises he makes of us “always having a tomorrow together” be real?
Zac
The moment I saw Alyssa enter my club, I knew I wanted her. Even as she sat across the bar with another man, I knew I’d make her mine. Then, the moment our skin connected, every cell in my body exploded like fireworks.
A few moments in time sealed her fate. I was keeping her.
When someone threatens to take her away from me, I’m ready for war. I don’t have to go to hell and back to save the woman I love. I’m already there, my soul stained with the blood of those who thought they could cross me.
I promised her we would always have a tomorrow together. I don’t break my promises.

About the book
I was warned about Tristan Cole.
“Stay away from him,” people said.
“He’s cruel.”
“He’s cold.”
“He’s damaged.”
It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster.
But I couldn’t do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me.
We were both empty.
We were both looking for something else. Something more.
We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays.
Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.

Look But Don’t Touch turns workplace tension into a sharp enemies-to-lovers romance built on pride, proximity, and every argument neither character wants to enjoy.

About the book
There was one rule. Don’t fall in love with Grant Wood.
And I broke it. God knows I didn’t mean to! I only meant to push his buttons—to drive him as crazy as he drove me. He was the stone-faced CEO of my father's company and I was the spoiled daughter of his mentor. Those had been our roles for years. So what if we couldn’t stand each other?
When my father gave me an ultimatum, I was forced to swallow my pride and report to Grant himself. Intern extraordinaire at your service, sir. He clearly expected me to fail. Dressed in a clean-cut suit, sitting behind his desk, he took one look at me and dismissed me out of hand.
Me. Ada Hathaway, a graduate of Yale and valedictorian of her class. Sure, he might be a self-made millionaire, but so what?The only good part is that he always seemed just as unnerved by me, and I loved it when his cold facade faltered. Arguing with Grant quickly became the best part of my day.
But it was never meant to become anything more. He was as off-limits to me as I was to him.
But our game went too far. What do we do now?
(This is a full-length, enemies-to-lovers novel with a happily ever after! Guaranteed to give you all the feels. No cheating!"

About the book
"The Boys of Tommen meets The Summer I Turned Pretty for the New Adult crowd! A perfect summer read if you want some spice, banter, and a lot of heart.” - The Book Blitzer
*Illustrated cover available in paperback!*
When they say to keep your enemies close, I don’t think they mean ten feet down the hall.
After experiencing the bliss of being away at college, I’d rather hide in the dorm room air ducts than go back to my hometown for the summer. Sadly, that isn’t an option (Seriously, I tried. The vents aren’t wide enough). I have no other choice. I have to return to Ravenswood—and the torment I’ve been trying to forget.
Jason “Jase” Rivers was the most gorgeous guy I’d ever met—charming, clever, and nothing like the rough-and-tumble hockey goon everyone in high school warned me about. Until he turned out to be exactly that—and worse. He humiliated me so badly I eventually changed my last name to escape my reputation after moving away. So when I hook up with a sexy stranger on my first night back in town, I’m horrified to realize a little too late that he’s not as much of a stranger as I thought. When Jase exited my life three years ago (hopefully to be launched into space or lost at sea), I thought I’d never have to see him again, but guess who’s also back in Ravenswood? Yep. My living nightmare. And just when I think it can’t get worse…
I learn he’s staying at my family’s house. All. Summer. Long.
They say time heals everything, but the letter I never sent him is just as true today as it was back then.
Dear Jase,
You were the greatest mistake of my life.
Insincerely Yours,
Ali

Our take
What begins as lifelong devotion turns complicated when love crosses a line neither of them can ignore. Torn follows a young woman and her father’s best friend as friendship shifts into forbidden desire, forcing them to confront loyalty, guilt, and the cost of wanting the wrong person.

About the book
"Well-written tension and forbidden longing. The angst in this was incredible! Loved every second!"
—Penelope Douglas, New York Times bestselling author of Credence
When I was five years old, I told Toren Grace we were going to get married someday. He’d been my closest friend, my protector, and my rock since the day I was born. But during my senior year, our relationship slowly changed. Silly conversations morphed into serious heart-to-hearts. Innocent friendship turned to stolen glances.
Then one day, an unexpected kiss changed everything.
While that kiss was all I’d ever dreamed of, it knocked Tor clear off his axis. His strong moral compass makes it impossible for him to accept our feelings for each other. Because, not only am I eighteen and fifteen years younger than him, I’m the one person he should never, ever want.
Tor is my father’s best friend—my pseudo uncle.
Neither one of us can stand to betray or hurt my dad, but we can’t keep our relationship hidden forever. Will there be a way for us to find our happily-ever-after? Or will we all be torn apart?
