Us follows two hockey players trying to protect their relationship while the pressure of secrecy starts to wear them down.

About the book
Can your favorite hockey players finish their first season together undefeated?
Five months in, NHL forward Ryan Wesley is having a record-breaking rookie season. He’s living his dream of playing pro hockey and coming home every night to the man he loves—Jamie Canning, his longtime best friend turned boyfriend. There’s just one problem: the most important relationship of his life is one he needs to keep hidden, or else face a media storm that will eclipse his success on the ice.
Jamie loves Wes. He really, truly does. But hiding sucks. It’s not the life Jamie envisioned for himself, and the strain of keeping their secret is taking its toll. It doesn’t help that his new job isn’t going as smoothly as he’d hoped, but he knows he can power through it as long as he has Wes. At least apartment 10B is their retreat, where they can always be themselves.
Or can they? When Wes’s nosiest teammate moves in upstairs, the threads of their carefully woven lie begin to unravel. With the outside world determined to take its best shot at them, can Wes and Jamie develop major-league relationship skills on the fly?
Warning: contains sexual situations, a vibrating chair, long-distance sexytimes and proof that hockey players look hot in any shade of green.

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.

Nora Goes Off Script turns heartbreak into an unexpected second act when a romance screenwriter’s failed marriage becomes the script that changes her life.

About the book
"The perfect escape." —USA Today
"Readers who loved Emily Henry's Book Lovers are sure to savor Nora Goes Off Script." —Shelf Awareness
Named one of the Best Beach Reads of Summer by The Washington Post • USA Today • Cosmopolitan • Southern Living • Country Living • Business Insider • Buzzfeed • Book Riot • The Augusta Chronicle
Nora’s life is about to get a rewrite…
Nora Hamilton knows the formula for love better than anyone. As a romance channel screenwriter, it’s her job. But when her too-good-to work husband leaves her and their two kids, Nora turns her marriage’s collapse into cash and writes the best script of her life. No one is more surprised than her when it’s picked up for the big screen and set to film on location at her 100-year-old-home. When former Sexiest Man Alive, Leo Vance, is cast as her ne’er do well husband Nora’s life will never be the same.
The morning after shooting wraps and the crew leaves, Nora finds Leo on her porch with a half-empty bottle of tequila and a proposition. He’ll pay a thousand dollars a day to stay for a week. The extra seven grand would give Nora breathing room, but it’s the need in his eyes that makes her say yes. Seven days: it’s the blink of an eye or an eternity depending on how you look at it. Enough time to fall in love. Enough time to break your heart.
Filled with warmth, wit, and wisdom, Nora Goes Off Script is the best kind of love story—the real kind where love is complicated by work, kids, and the emotional baggage that comes with life. For Nora and Leo, this kind of love is bigger than the big screen.

The Last Good Man turns a carefully managed life into a dangerous emotional collision between control and obsession.
The Last Good Man
Romance · Contemporary Romance · Romantic Suspense
Our take
The Last Good Man turns a carefully managed life into a dangerous emotional collision between control and obsession. Melody wants a polished, reliable match, but Jax brings younger heat, volatility, and a refusal to fit the future she planned. This reverse age gap romance belongs on the list for its slow-burn tension, opposites-attract pull, and messy attraction that keeps pushing past every sensible boundary.
Choose your retailer
About the book
She is a posh executive.
He is a stubborn green-eyed tattooed devil.
When Melody Hill runs into a stunning man at her therapist's door in Manhattan, she loses her breath for a second.
She's booked the best psychotherapist in New York to help her with finding Mr. Right, so she can check that off her list and be done with it.
Easier said than done.
From high–value men to high–quality men to real–life unable–to–commit men, her head is spinning, her dates only getting worse.
And then Jax London happens.
Tall, broody, with a taunting smile on his lips, he's there for anger management issues as part of his conditional release.
The odds couldn't be more against them.
He checks off virtually nothing on her list.
And he's a decade younger.
And he's a ruthless disruptor.
She is a woman with a plan, and so is he.
And he is her stalker before becoming her obsession.
Even so, she is convinced he's not the man for her.
But he knows better, and he is set to prove her wrong.
Author's Note: This is a slow burn standalone romance with spice. HEA at the end of the story.

The One Month Boyfriend
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
The One Month Boyfriend turns fake dating into emotional risk when revenge starts looking too much like intimacy. Kat and Silas agree to pretend they are together to unsettle her ex, despite barely surviving a conversation without arguing. Their opposites-attract dynamic gives this enemies-to-lovers romance its pull, with small-town pressure, protective tenderness, and real vulnerability complicating every staged moment.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Fake dating my sworn enemy to make my ex so jealous he can't see straight?
Worth it.
Silas and I agree on one thing, and one thing only: my ruthless, heartless, narcissistic jerk of an ex-fiancé needs to be taken down a notch.
So we do what anyone would do: we pretend to be a couple.
Even though Silas and I are polar opposites. Silas is a loud, cheerful, over the top showboat. He’s his hometown’s golden boy, the Marine who came back to rescue kittens from trees and walk old ladies across the street.
And me? I'm the awkward new girl who freezes up around strangers and can’t make small talk to save my life.
It shouldn’t work. We can barely have a conversation without arguing. There's no way we should be friends, let alone dating, except... Everyone believes it.
Especially my ex.
Now I'm having way too many real fantasies about the man who gets on my last nerve. My fake boyfriend is starting to feel a whole lot like a real one.
The kisses feel real.
The way he protects me feels real.
The night we spend together in a hotel bed feels very real.
This was supposed to be fake, but I think I might have fooled myself most of all.
The One Month Boyfriend is the first book in the Wildwood Society series, and can be read as a total standalone. It's for fans of high heat enemies-to-lovers romantic comedies, and features two enemies who fake date for revenge, a quirky, charming small town, a former military cinnamon roll hero, a grumpy heroine who's charmed despite herself, anxiety and PTSD representation, and plenty of steamy scenes. Of course, there's an HEA.

Riptide sets ideological conflict against a threatened stretch of San Diego coastline, where attraction makes every argument harder to control.
Riptide
Romance · Contemporary Romance
Our take
Riptide sets ideological conflict against a threatened stretch of San Diego coastline, where attraction makes every argument harder to control. Avery wants the luxury hotel that could define her career, while Finn leads the protest to protect the beach he loves. Their enemies-to-lovers tension comes from conviction as much as chemistry, giving this romance sharp debates, clashing values, and a relationship neither can enter unchanged.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Enemies to lovers has never been so hot...
Avery Dacosta never expected to find a protester in front of her office.
Especially not now, when she's this close to achieving a professional milestone years in the making: building a luxury hotel on Playa Vieja, San Diego's untouched beach paradise.
Finn Travis, local surfer and all-around nice guy, never expected to find himself the leader of Playa Vieja's resistance. He's more of a mellow tree-hugger than a radical activist. Except Avery's hotel threatens to destroy the place he loves the most. For the first time in his life, Finn decides to use his charisma for more than just attracting his next fling.
Avery's worked too hard to let a bongo-playing hippie like Finn shatter her perfect future. And his naive idealism grates on her every nerve.
She's not alone in her loathing: Finn thinks Avery is a greedy, corporate robot.
As Avery and Finn crash together like waves against the shore, their debates become heated. Sexy. Dirty.
But the riptide of their attraction jeopardizes more than just their ideological values. Can Avery and Finn be together without giving up what they care about the most?

The Player and the Pixie
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom · Sports Romance
Our take
The Player and the Pixie pairs a guarded rugby star with the one woman who refuses to be impressed by him. Lucy wants distance from her famous brother’s world, while Sean carries a reputation for arrogance, rivalry, and emotional distance. Their unlikely arrangement turns into a forbidden sports romance built on sharp chemistry, messy vulnerability, and the risk of wanting someone everyone expects you to avoid.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Spicy Sports Romance collaboration between bestselling authors Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway!
How can someone so smokin’ hot be so bad in bed? I mean, Sean Cassidy is absolute rubbish. RUBBISH. He is the epitome of walking, talking false advertising and I want a refund! Plus he’s an arsehole. So… what is wrong with me that I can’t stop thinking about him?
THE PIXIE
Lucy Fitzpatrick doesn’t like rugby. As the little sister of Ireland’s most infamous rugby player, Lucy can’t seem to escape the championship-sized shadow cast by her big brother, or her mother’s frequent attempts to micromanage her future. Her rainbow hair is as free-spirited as her quest for inner peace, yet overbearing expectations keep bringing her down. And when she’s down, her compulsive little problem lands her in seriously big trouble.
THE PLAYER
Sean Cassidy is a cold-hearted brute… or so he’s been told. Frequently. By everyone. His blonde locks, baby blues, and rock hard bod make ladies the world over drool with desire. As the rugby world’s second most infamous player, he should be basking in his success. But Sean has never been content settling for second place, and his frequent confrontations with Lucy’s big brother leave him cold. And when he’s cold, his compulsive little problem lands him in the lap of Lucy Fitzpatrick.
THE PLAN
Sean has a problem only Lucy can solve. Lucy has a problem only Sean can fix. The solution seems obvious: you scratch my back, and I’ll bail you out of jail. But when their business arrangement unexpectedly leaves Sean scorching hot and Lucy on the precipice of inner peace, can they convince the world—and Lucy’s big brother in particular—that this is the real deal? Either way, both the Player and the Pixie are about to teach each other some pretty monumental lessons about family, life, but most importantly, love.
The Pixie and the Player is a full-length, romantic comedy novel, can be read as a standalone, and is the second book in the Rugby Series.

Garron Park turns lifelong rivalry into a volatile MM romance shaped by poverty, violence, and reluctant need.
Garron Park
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Contemporary Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
Garron Park turns lifelong rivalry into a volatile MM romance shaped by poverty, violence, and reluctant need. Devon and Maddox have spent years clashing in motocross, work, and survival, but one brutal night forces them into unexpected proximity. Their hatred shifts into desire without softening the world around them, making this enemies-to-lovers romance raw, combative, and emotionally bruised.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Garron Park, where hope dies and no one ever gets ahead. Until…
When Devon Sawyer desperately searches for his brother in the middle of the night, beaten and broken, he finds Maddox Kane instead. With his dad on his trail, he has no choice but to stand on his enemy’s doorstep and let Maddox help.
Maddox has never seen Devon this vulnerable. Living in Garron’s trailer park means families dole out discipline on the regular and violence is a part of life, but something about how far Jim Sawyer takes it this time has Maddox unnerved.
Rivals in motocross, work, and life itself, they’re forced to work together for one night. Perspectives change and their friction morphs into something unexpected.
Hatred turns to lust.
Tensions switch from hostile to aroused.
While their competitiveness remains, their dynamic shifts. Their acceptance is anything but graceful.
Two guys who come from nothing, with very little to look forward to, find themselves craving each other in new and fiery ways.
Reluctantly.

Hate to Want You

Our take
Hate to Want You centers on a forbidden relationship shaped by grief, family scandal, and years of unresolved desire. Livvy and Nicholas once met for one night every year, using secrecy to escape the tragedy that made their families enemies, until she disappeared and returned with old wounds still open.

About the book
Alisha Rai, one of contemporary romance’s brightest stars, makes her Avon Books debut with the first novel in the sexy Forbidden Hearts series!
One night. No one will know.
That was the deal. Every year, Livvy Kane and Nicholas Chandler would share one perfect night of illicit pleasure. The forbidden hours let them forget the tragedy that haunted their pasts—and the last names that made them enemies.
Until the night she didn’t show up.
Now Nicholas has an empire to run. He doesn’t have time for distractions and Livvy’s sudden reappearance in town is a major distraction. She’s the one woman he shouldn’t want . . . so why can’t he forget how right she feels in his bed?
Livvy didn’t come home for Nicholas, but fate seems determined to remind her of his presence—and their past. Although the passion between them might have once run hot and deep, not even love can overcome the scandal that divided their families.
Being together might be against all the rules . . . but being apart is impossible.

About the book
Marrying the man I hate is bad enough. But falling for him? That’ll be the death of me.
Gabriel Thompson and I are like oil and water. Our New York families control two of the nation’s largest companies and the business rivalry is decades old. We’ve carried the torch ourselves since childhood.
But then we bump into each other after a conference in Vegas. Drinks are involved, and he utters the three little words I can’t resist. I dare you. The next morning we wake up hungover, late, and worst of all, married.
It’s a PR disaster. To save our reputations, we have to sell this marriage to the media and to our families. Go to parties. Move in together. Act in love.
Neither of us have ever mentioned that one drunken night in college, when we crossed lines branded into us from birth. I’d assumed he’d forgotten and moved on.
He hasn’t, and he’s determined to show what I’ve been missing. But Gabriel is too confident, too smug, and far too attractive for anything real. I can never let my guard down.
With his ring on my finger, we’re destined to be enemies forever.
Til’ death do us part… unless we kill each other first.

A Deal with the Bossy Devil
Romance · Contemporary Romance · RomCom
Our take
A Deal with the Bossy Devil begins with a viral mistake, a ruined investment deal, and a billionaire determined to make the woman responsible pay. Forced into his orbit after her stunt costs him millions, she pushes back against every demand while the tension between them keeps escalating. This adult billionaire boss romance fits readers looking for enemies-to-lovers friction, power struggle, sharp banter, and revenge that turns intensely personal.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Vengeance (noun): Punishment served by an arrogant, insufferable billionaire who’s hellbent on making you suffer over a teeny, tiny, seven-hundred-million-dollar oopsie.
I regret nothing.
…
Okay, maybe I regret some things.
In my defense, I was pretty sure I wouldn’t get caught.
Also in my defense, I had no way of knowing that “The Incident” would go viral.
But Toronto’s most notorious billionaire isn’t exactly known for his generous or understanding spirit, and he doesn’t want to hear my excuses.
Not when my little public stunt cost him the biggest investment deal of his career.
What he does want is cold, hard revenge.
And that’s how I find myself backed into a corner, forced to strike a deal with the snarly, green-eyed devil.
I have no choice but to be at his beck and call 24 hours a day, succumbing to his every bossy whim.
But as his demands—and the blistering tension—become increasingly unbearable, I can’t help but start to bite back.
Adrien Cloutier isn’t a man to be messed with, though.
And as the old saying goes, bad girls deserve to be punished.
This is a full-length enemies-to-lovers romance with loads of spicy banter and laugh-out-loud moments, featuring a dimpled bosshole devil in a suit and the smart-mouthed woman who brings him to his knees. (Literally.)
