High school rule number one: don’t get in a fake relationship with your brother’s best friend, even if he is the allstar quarterback.
Sixteen-year-old Chloe Miller loves drama—the kind that involves a stage and a spotlight, that is. She was born to be in front of an audience. But she doesn’t love the drama her exboyfriend causes when he tries to win her back after cheating on her. To make sure he gets the message that she’ll never have anything to do with him again, she very publicly announces that she has a new boyfriend.
A better boyfriend.
The problem?
That new and improved boyfriend doesn’t actually exist.
Luckily for her, her brother’s scorching hot best friend is willing to be her fake boyfriend for a few weeks to help her avoid public humiliation. In exchange, she’ll give him one-on-one acting lessons to prepare him for the school play. Sure, she’ll have to kiss him, but those rehearsal kisses don’t mean anything, right?
But, as Homecoming draws near, Chloe’s vindictive ex becomes increasingly determined to expose Chloe’s fake relationship to the entire high school. And as she spends more time with her brother’s best friend… she starts to wonder – just how much of this relationship is an act, anyway?
A Fake Boyfriend for Homecoming is a sweet young adult romance that features lots of banter, a gorgeous brother's best friend, and swoon-worthy dates!

About the book
HOLT Medallion Award Winner for Young Adult romance, an IAN Book of the Year Award Finalist in YA fiction, and a Contemporary Romance Writers Stiletto Finalist in YA romance!
High school is about to get complicated for Maegan Murphy. The quiet, nerdy girl who wears science-themed graphic T-shirts, posts videos about frogs, and likes to hang out in the school library reading books. The shy, awkward girl with two left feet who is prone to having monumentally embarrassing accidental mishaps; something Maegan blames on her last name, Murphy. As in Murphy's Law, the adage that states: "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." And Maegan's biggest Murphy's Law mishap of all? The Boyfriend List—a secret list of the names of all the boys she has ever had a crush on. A list she creates in a moment of feeling sorry for herself because she feels like she's the only girl in school who has never had a boyfriend. Has never been kissed. Has never found that special someone who sees her and not the awkward, weird sister of her older, very popular brother and star pitcher of the varsity baseball team, Braedan.
Maegan doesn't realize it yet, but that dreaded Murphy's Law she feels cursed with may just give her what she has always wanted. And it all begins with an accidental hallway collision into Grayson Ramsey, her best friend's very cute older brother, a wayward half-eaten apple core that hits Christian Alexander in the back of the head at lunch, and a lost Boyfriend List. The list that includes the names of both Christian Alexander and Grayson Ramsey. The list she swears she put in her backpack but absolutely, positively cannot find. The list that suddenly appears taped onto every locker and on every wall at school the next morning. The list that changes everything.
The Boyfriend List is a sweet YA rom-com that will have you laughing and falling in love at the same time.
You'll love The Boyfriend List if you like: Laugh out loud romantic comedy; a sweet and sassy heroine; a swoon-worthy book boyfriend; fake relationship that turns real; small town romance; high school romance; Murphy's Law hi-jinks; an awesome best friend (who happens to be a guy); and so many cupcakes.

About the book
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Regretting You, Verity, and It Ends with Us comes a hauntingly seductive tale of love, control, and the devastating secrets that can destroy it all.
When Tate Collins moves in with her brother, the last thing she expects is to collide with Miles Archer, a brooding pilot with an unrelenting grip on his past. Their attraction is electric, undeniable, and all-consuming—but Miles has rules. No questions. No future. A no-strings arrangement seems simple at first, but a deep, shattering truth lurks just beneath the surface.
Tate soon realizes that Miles is not just guarded but fractured. Torn between desire and self-destruction, his pain bleeds into every part of their dynamic. Miles’s past hides horrors that threaten to rip apart the fragile connection they’ve created, and Tate is forced to make a choice that will change both their lives forever.
With suspense simmering underneath every moment of passion, Ugly Love is a whirlwind of lust, heartbreak, and dark revelations that build to a stunning crescendo. For those drawn to the raw tension and psychological complexities of Verity, this is a riveting story where emotions erupt, secrets fester, and love may not be enough to heal the deep scars etched into the past.

About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Freya Sampson comes a romance inspired by Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that asks: what if your book boyfriend jumped from the pages of their story and into your life?
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of many romance novels, must be in want of a book boyfriend."
Zoe Knight, a struggling romance writer, has sworn off men for good. At least…the ones in real life. Once a believer in a happily ever after, she now curbs her loneliness with the help of the best book boyfriends in literature – and there is no better man than Jane Austen's Mr. Darcy. So when she stumbles into a classic London bookshop and argues with the annoyingly attractive store owner, Nick, who refuses to sell romance novels, she decides to liberate him of a dusty copy of Pride & Prejudice abandoned on a top shelf.
But this is no ordinary book.
After reading from the pages, Zoe finds herself in a remarkable situation: she has accidentally summoned the Mr. Darcy to the real world. Now, she's face-to-face with the man she's loved forever, and he's everything she dreamed he would be. Handsome? Check. Brooding? Check. Talks like he swallowed a thesaurus? Check and check. But even in all his regency perfection, can he ever be as good as in the novel? And if he's here, in her London apartment trying to figure out how to work a shower , what will happen to the literary world he came from? With Nick—the last man she could ever be prevailed upon to work with—urging her to send the fictional Darcy back to his own story, Zoe will have to decide what she really wants from a happy ending, before it's too late.

About the book
Eighteen-year-old Stetson Delancey never thought breaking up with his boyfriend would turn him invisible.
In Penango County, Pennsylvania, high school couples carve their names into the legendary Ardor Tree, a rite of passage said to grant love that lasts. Stetson and his boyfriend were no exception. But a bitter breakup just before college splinters their future, and in a moment of anger, Stetson does the unthinkable: he hacks their names from the tree.
That's when everything in his rural hometown goes from boring to bizarre. Shadows flicker where they shouldn't. Strangers pass by like he's not even there. And some people stop seeing him altogether.
With just two months left in Penango and his college dream slipping away, Stetson races to uncover the tree's secrets before he vanishes for good. But when he meets a boy only he can see-a boy who may have secrets of his own-Stetson begins to wonder if breaking free from his hometown means letting go of everything or learning to hold on to what matters.
Within These County Lines is a queer coming-of-age novel about the unraveling of first love, hometown magic, and how sometimes we can't uncover the truth about others without confronting the truth about ourselves.

About the book
Katherine Center's The Bodyguard is “My perfect 10 of a book. As funny and sweet as all the very best nineties rom-coms, but with Center’s signature heart-tugging depth. I wish I could erase it from my mind just to read it again for the first time. A shot of pure joy.”—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers
She’s got his back.
Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka "bodyguard"), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker.
He’s got her heart.
Jack Stapleton’s a household name—captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid.
They’ve got a secret.
When Jack’s mom gets sick, he goes home to the family’s Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah—against her will and her better judgment—finds herself pretending to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover. Even though her ex, says no one will believe it.
What could possibly go wrong?
Hannah hardly believes it, herself. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. And there lies the heartbreak. Because it’s easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That’s the hardest thing she’s ever done.

About the book
Charlotte Vance can detect any lie ever told. Any lie except the ones her fiancé tells her.
Two years engaged to Sebastian Whitmore, and her witch's gift has not warned her once. Not when he proposed. Not when he kissed her. Not when he promised her a wedding in June. Either Sebastian is the most honest man in London, or her gift has a blind spot shaped exactly like him.
She isn't sure which possibility frightens her more.
When Scotland Yard's Inspector Reid arrives investigating impossible murders in her hidden magical society, Charlotte agrees to help—lending him her gift, and her place inside Sebastian's world. The arrangement is strictly professional. Then they share one forbidden kiss in candlelight, and Charlotte returns home with the taste of another man on her lips.
Every body falls closer to her own front door. Every question about her fiancé becomes harder to ignore. The more honest Sebastian seems, the more terrified Charlotte becomes.
Will she trust the magic that has never been wrong? Will she trust the detective asking the questions she's been afraid to ask?
Pick up Harrow today—a Victorian gothic paranormal romance of forbidden love, dark secrets, and a slow burn that will consume everything she thought she wanted.
