Our take
When her school musical is canceled, theater-loving Riley Morris hatches a plan to revive it—by fake dating her quiet co-worker Nathan at her dad’s game store. In return, she’ll help him make his crush jealous. But joining Nathan’s role-playing game blurs the lines between acting and real feelings. Dungeons and Drama is a playful YA romcom about ambition, fandom, and unexpected chemistry.

About the book
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • When it comes to romance, sometimes it doesn't hurt to play games. A fun YA romcom full of fake dating hijinks!
A COSMOPOLITAN BEST YOUNG ADULT BOOK OF THE YEAR
No one loves musicals more than Riley Morris—her dream is to be a Broadway director. But when the spring show is canceled, Riley has to figure out a way to bring it back. Easier said than done—she’s stuck working at her dad’s game store. The place that means more to him than his family does.
Riley can't waste time at a dead-end job when her entire future is resting on making a name for herself. So she convinces her co-worker Nathan Wheeler—the floppy-haired, glasses-wearing guy she barely knows from school—to help her. In exchange, she’ll help him make his gamer-girl crush jealous. Plus it won’t hurt to show her egotistical ex, Paul, just what he’s missing without her.
Soon Riley and Nathan are “a couple,” and people seem to believe it. But selling the ruse means joining Nathan’s role-playing game. To Riley’s surprise, the game is almost fun. And even more surprising, flirting with Nathan doesn’t require as much acting as she thought it would. . . .

About the book
“Sometimes monsters are just broken people, hiding their scars from a world that has hurt them.”
Dove Carroway has two lives…
By day, she’s the bubbly, pink-clad media journalist who writes sensational stories about a vigilante serial killer. By night, she becomes the Baby Doll Killer, an avenger with a flair for punishing the worst of humanity—men who prey on children. But her most formidable challenge isn’t a criminal; it’s her insufferably charming work rival.
Wrenley Campbell is the perfect gentleman to everyone but Dove, the one person who grates on his nerves with her sunshine act. But Wrenley’s secrets are darker than the articles they write, and when Dove unburies the truths he’s hiding, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected.
When their battle of wits escalates into something that hits too close to home, Dove steps into his world as her deadly alter ego, intending to terrify him into backing off. As Wrenley pieces together who she really is, their rivalry turns into a fiery connection that neither can deny.
Secrets this dark have a way of coming to light, and soon, they will have to decide whether their love is strong enough to survive the shadows or shatter under the weight of their haunted pasts.
Perfect for fans of dark humor, sizzling tension, and morally gray characters, Dolls & Daggers is a wickedly dark romantic comedy that’ll have you laughing, gasping, and swooning in equal measure.

“One of those books you just want to hug to your chest. I loved it so much.”—Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of While We Were Dating
A huge-hearted, redemptive coming-of-old-age tale, a love story, and an ode to good food
Nothing could be more out of character, but after fifty-nine years of marriage, as her husband Bernard’s health declines, and her friends' lives become focused on their grandchildren—which Jenny never had—Jenny decides she wants a little something for herself. So she secretly applies to be a contestant on the prime-time TV show Britain Bakes.
Whisked into an unfamiliar world of cameras and timed challenges, Jenny delights in a new-found independence.

Chocolate teacakes remind her of a furtive errand involving a wedding ring; sugared doughnuts call up a stranger’s kind act; a simple cottage loaf brings back the moment her life changed forever.
With her baking star rising, Jenny struggles to keep a lid on that first secret—a long-concealed deceit that threatens to shatter the very foundations of her marriage. It’s the only time in six decades that she’s kept something from Bernard. By putting herself in the limelight, has Jenny created a recipe for disaster?

About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The second book in Diana Gabaldon’s acclaimed Outlander saga, the basis for the Starz original series.
“A triumph! A powerful tale layered in history and myth. I loved every page.”—Nora Roberts
With her classic novel Outlander, Diana Gabaldon introduced two unforgettable characters—Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser—delighting readers with a story of adventure and love that spanned two centuries. Now Gabaldon returns to that extraordinary time and place in this vivid, powerful sequel to Outlander.
For twenty years, Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to the mysteries of Scotland’s mist-shrouded Highlands. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as shocking as the events that gave it birth: the secret of an ancient circle of standing stones, the secret of a love that transcends centuries, and the truth of a man named Jamie Fraser—a Highland warrior whose gallantry once drew the young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his.
Claire’s spellbinding journey continues through the intrigue-ridden French court and the menace of Jacobite plots, to the Highlands of Scotland, through war and death in a desperate fight to save both the child and the man she loves.

About the book
THE ASTONISHING INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER
“An extraordinary historical romance . . . One of the best to date.” Chicago Sun-Times
England, 1635. Ten-year-old Thomazine Heron’s life is shattered when a deadly illness robs her of her father and brother, leaving her an orphan and heiress. Torn from her beloved home and sent to live with distant relatives at the grand Goldhayes estate in Suffolk, Thomazine must adjust to a new world of unfamiliar faces, rigid expectations, and buried secrets
"I had been reared in an independent spirit, you see, and I took against being pushed hither and thither like a backgammon counter."
As she comes of age during the turbulent years leading to the English Civil War, Thomazine’s journey is one of transformation—from spirited child to determined young woman, fiercely loyal to those she loves and unwilling to submit to the dictates of society. In a world where family ties are tested and political allegiances are shifting, she finds strength, friendship, and the first stirrings of forbidden love.
As Thomazine grows into young womanhood at Goldhayes, amidst the tightening grip of civil unrest, her path crosses with that of Francis Heron—her cousin by blood, but her equal in spirit. What begins as childhood camaraderie deepens over the years into a bond laced with tension, loyalty, and a love neither of them dares name. In a time when duty and bloodlines dictate fate, Thomazine finds herself torn between the world she was born into and the one her heart longs to claim.
"I shall just refuse. There's little they can do to me, and whatever they do can't last forever. I'm a Heron, you see, and our motto is 'No surrender'."
The Moon in the Water is the powerful first volume in The Heron Saga, perfect for fans of Sharon Penman, Philippa Gregory, and Diana Gabaldon.

The Allure of Ruins
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · Gay Romance
Our take
When a threat from his past resurfaces, a carefully rebuilt life begins to fracture. In The Allure of Ruins, Paxton Walsh turns to his closest friend and employer, Colton Gates, whose quiet devotion has long blurred the line between partnership and love. Forced into proximity and honesty, this M/M romance explores healing, loyalty, and the risk of choosing more.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Paxton Walsh has a comfortable life, which wasn’t always the case. But ever since he left his tumultuous life on the West Coast, trading it for a new beginning on the East Coast, things have settled. He can thank himself for the change, but also his boss and friend, Colton Gates. Their relationship is…a bit too codependent and close for most people to understand, but it works perfectly for them. So what if thoughts can be conveyed with a glance? That doesn’t really mean anything. Or at least not what other people think.
But now a threat from Pax’s past is back, shattering that hard-won peace. With Pax in danger and needing protection, Colton immediately steps up and takes him in. Without distance, though, without retreating to separate homes, both men have to be honest about their feelings. The truth is, Pax was hurt, body and soul, and if he reaches for Colton and finds they can’t be more, he’ll lose everything. If Colton does the same and it doesn’t work, he’ll lose Pax, his best friend and the person who knows him better than anyone. With both of them terrified of the what-ifs, it might be too hard to have faith and jump. If only they could both be brave.

Our take
Rest In Pieces follows Amity, a former athlete turned stunt performer who avoids emotional risk at all costs.

About the book
If you’d told me years ago that I’d become a stunt woman after a car accident turned my Olympic dreams of gold to rust,
I’d have called you crazy.
Yet here I am, throwing myself off a perfectly good building.
I guess I’ve always been a little fearless, except when it comes to matters of the heart.
I keep my relationships light and meaningless, which is why my exes tend to have big...egos and the emotional depth of a puddle.
I’ll admit, I have the bar set so low it’s practically a tripping hazard.
Maybe that’s why when a tattooed biker started a drunken conversation with my boobs, I found him more intriguing than offensive.
I thought he would be like the rest, just someone to pass the time with.
But after years of keeping my relationships shallow, dating a biker is the equivalent of being thrown in at the deep end.
And as enemies, old and new, start closing in, it takes almost losing him for me to let down my walls.
Even if loving him might just kill me.
Content warning: Bikers are gonna be bikers. If you are looking for a PG read, this book is not for you. Please expect a whole lot of cuss words, foul language, and dirty talk. There is also enough sexcapades and violence to make you question your morals.
Author note: Rest In Pieces is G (Genesis) and Amity's story. Each book in this series will follow a new couple. Raven Souls MC is set in the same world as my Underestimated Series, though you don't need to read that series to enjoy this one. However, a few of the characters from Raven Souls MC are first introduced in The Crown of Fools (Underestimated series book five.)
This book is M/F.

About the book
“Just give me the summer. You can go back to playing it safe with boring men in September.”

Atticus King rebuilt his life after Noah Rossi vanished without a word, burying the hurt that once consumed him.
Echoes of Us
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Bisexual Romance · College Romance · Gay Romance · New Adult
Our take
Atticus King rebuilt his life after Noah Rossi vanished without a word, burying the hurt that once consumed him. But when Noah returns two years later, the connection between them ignites again—along with the pain he left behind. As they confront addiction, heartbreak, and the truth of why Noah disappeared, they must decide whether love is worth the risk of breaking again.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Atticus King had his life mapped out—train hard, play volleyball, keep to himself. That is, until Noah Rossi burst onto the scene: charismatic, impulsive, a storm that tore through Atticus’s carefully built walls and set his world on fire. They didn’t fit—Noah was everything Atticus wasn’t—but somehow, they found a rhythm in their shared love for the game and an undeniable pull toward each other. It was everything Atticus never knew he wanted.
But just as quickly as Noah entered his life, he disappeared. No explanation. No goodbye. Only silence that left Atticus drowning in confusion and pain.
Two years later, Noah walks back into Atticus’s world as if nothing ever happened, stirring up old feelings Atticus has tried to bury. The bond they shared is undeniable, but so is the hurt that lingers beneath the surface. Why did Noah leave? And can they rebuild something from the shattered pieces of their past?
Love isn’t easy. But for Atticus and Noah, it might be the only thing worth fighting for.
An MM story about real love—messy, complicated, and raw. About addiction, toxic relationships, and the struggle to claw your way out of the trenches. About facing the truth, even when it’s ugly. About second chances that may or may not come with new heartbreak.
