About the book
Lambda Literary Award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur returns with a steamy Sapphic rom-com about two rival publicists who are forced to work together when their mega-famous clients—a popstar and a quarterback—begin to date.
Poppy Peterson’s life is finally back on track and she’s thriving as the publicist of the NFL’s most promising quarterback (and her childhood best friend), Cash Curran. So, she doesn’t appreciate when he makes an impulsive and public pass at America’s popstar darling, Lyric Adair. When Lyric’s notorious publicist Rosaline Sinclair reaches out, Poppy is ready to face her wrath, but instead learns that Lyric is equally interested.
As Cash and Lyric embark on their ill-advised whirlwind romance, Poppy and Rosaline are forced together, each determined to protect their own client from the other. Poppy is frustrated by Rosaline’s cool demeanor, while at the same time, as a legend in the industry, she’s determined to impress her. But, no matter what she does, she can’t shake the feeling that Rosaline doesn’t like her.
That is until one steamy night, when the two women contend with their unexpected feelings and begin a messy romance of their own. But with paparazzi, tabloids, and stalker fans nipping at their heels, Poppy and Rosaline’s loyalties will be tested in ways they could never expect.
A high energy, Sapphic, and deeply sexy romance, Playing for Keeps has everything readers expect from Alexandria Bellefleur and more!

"I could not get enough of Jasmine and Ashton! I adored Jasmine--her ambition, her confidence, her attacks of self-doubt, and especially her hilarious, snarky, and loving cousins. She and Ashton have such a steamy, swoony, love story that I didn't want the book to end!"--Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author

You Had Me at Hola is a New York Times Editor's Choice Pick, an O Magazine Best Romance Pick and on many more Best Of lists!
Leading Ladies do not end up on tabloid covers.
After a messy public breakup, soap opera darling Jasmine Lin Rodriguez finds her face splashed across the tabloids. When she returns to her hometown of New York City to film the starring role in a bilingual romantic comedy for the number one streaming service in the country, Jasmine figures her new “Leading Lady Plan” should be easy enough to follow—until a casting shake-up pairs her with telenovela hunk Ashton Suárez.
Leading Ladies don’t need a man to be happy.
After his last telenovela character was killed off, Ashton is worried his career is dead as well. Joining this new cast as a last-minute addition will give him the chance to show off his acting chops to American audiences and ping the radar of Hollywood casting agents. To make it work, he’ll need to generate smoking-hot on-screen chemistry with Jasmine. Easier said than done, especially when a disastrous first impression smothers the embers of whatever sexual heat they might have had.
Leading Ladies do not rebound with their new costars.
With their careers on the line, Jasmine and Ashton agree to rehearse in private. But rehearsal leads to kissing, and kissing leads to a behind-the-scenes romance worthy of a soap opera. While their on-screen performance improves, the media spotlight on Jasmine soon threatens to destroy her new image and expose Ashton’s most closely guarded secret.

About the book
Named One of the 16 Best Young Adult Books of 2016 by Paste Magazine!
Trixie Watson has two very important goals for senior year: to finally save enough to buy the set of Doctor Who figurines at the local comic books store, and to place third in her class and knock Ben West--and his horrendous new mustache that he spent all summer growing—down to number four.
Trixie will do anything to get her name ranked over Ben's, including give up sleep and comic books—well, maybe not comic books—but definitely sleep. After all, the war of Watson v. West is as vicious as the Doctor v. Daleks and Browncoats v. Alliance combined, and it goes all the way back to the infamous monkey bars incident in the first grade. Over a decade later, it's time to declare a champion once and for all.
The war is Trixie's for the winning, until her best friend starts dating Ben's best friend and the two are unceremoniously dumped together and told to play nice. Finding common ground is odious and tooth-pullingly-painful, but Trixie and Ben's cautious truce slowly transforms into a fandom-based tentative friendship. When Trixie's best friend gets expelled for cheating and Trixie cries foul play, however, they have to choose who to believe and which side they're on—and they might not pick the same side.
Stephanie Perkins meets 10 Things I hate About You in The Only Thing Worse than Me Is You, a fresh, romantic debut from author Lily Anderson inspired by Much Ado About Nothing.

About the book
There’s a reason you shouldn’t fake date a friend—because the biggest mistake you’ll ever make might just be falling for them... and NEVER ever wanting to let them go.
Anna: As the assistant to the coach of the River City Renegades, my life is a whirlwind of schedules, crisis management, and saving the day when things go sideways. I love my job, but sometimes I wonder if there’s more for me out there.
Then, I discovered my dad needs help. I’ll do anything to support him—even if it means stepping out of my comfort zone. So when the team’s publicist decides Ollie Decker, my long-time friend and the Renegades' star defenseman, needs a fake girlfriend to boost his image, I volunteer. After all, it’s just pretend, it pays, and who knows Ollie better than me? But as the lines blur, I start to realize there’s more to Ollie—and us—than I ever let myself see.
Ollie: Being on the ice is easy. Off the ice? Not so much. Apparently, I’m not “relatable” enough, and the team wants me to soften my tough guy image with a fake relationship. When Anna Denault offers to step in, I figure this’ll be a breeze. But somewhere between staged date nights and late-night strategy sessions, I stop seeing Anna as just my rock and start noticing the spark that’s been there all along.
Now I’m wondering if the biggest risk of my career isn’t losing her as a friend but losing her entirely.
She could be the biggest mistake I’ve ever made…but also the only one I’ll never regret.

About the book
When a grumpy billionaire with a PR problem meets a sunny chaos queen with a heart of gold, who's really the one in need of saving?
I’m Damien Langley—billionaire, control freak, and, according to the press, a heartless corporate monster.
After one out-of-context quote torches my reputation and puts an important client account in jeopardy, my board forces me into PR rehab: smile for the cameras, volunteer at a feel-good charity, pretend to be human.
Enter Willow Harper.
She runs Silver Hearts, a senior care organization held together by optimism, duct tape, and sheer determination. She’s sunshine in human form, my polar opposite—and somehow makes me want to stay even after the cameras stop rolling.
What starts as damage control spirals into something real: burger dive dates, emergency kitchen repairs, and a kiss that hits harder than it should.
She doesn’t fit into my world… but suddenly, my world doesn’t work without her.
Too bad I’m also locked in a secret million-dollar bet with five of my billionaire buddies.
Stay single. No falling in love. Winner takes all.
And Willow?
One more night with her in my bed and I’ll lose the bet, the client account, and the heart I swore I didn’t have.

About the book
A billionaire's bet. A wedding without a bride. And the planner who never planned on falling for the groom.
When Manhattan's most meticulous wedding planner Anica Marcel is offered one million dollars to orchestrate charming tech billionaire Callan Burkhardt's perfect wedding, sans a bride, she knows it's a recipe for disaster. He needs to marry someone within three months to win a $30 million bet with his friends. She needs the money to expand her business. The only problem? He's cocky, knows it, and is sabotaging every match she finds for him.
Their arrangement has clear boundaries: she'll plan his dream wedding and help him find a suitable match. No emotional entanglements. No crossing lines. Absolutely no falling for each other.
But as they navigate venue visits posing as an engaged couple and spend time with Callan's meddling grandmother, those professional boundaries blur. Behind his cynical view of love and playboy façade, Anica discovers a man with genuine kindness and unexpected vulnerabilities. And despite her best defenses, Callan sees through her perfectly organized exterior to the heart she's kept carefully guarded since her ex cheated on her with a client.
When things heat up between the two of them, Anica faces an impossible choice: risk her heart on a man who doesn't believe love exists, or walk away from the only one who's made her want to trust again.
Witty, emotional, and deliciously romantic—Bride Not Included delivers wedding season's most swoon-worthy read.

About the book
Who gets married out of convenience? Apparently, I do.
My best friend was only supposed to be my fake date to a work event in Vegas. But when my ex showed up with another woman on his arm, my friend suggested the ultimate payback: pretending we were engaged.
When I accidentally mention my medical insurance issues due to a car accident, he proposes taking our charade to the next level—a temporary marriage until I'm better.
I nearly spit out my drink.
Yeah, right. Like that won't completely ruin our friendship.
But we can’t go back now. Our charade worked so well that everyone bought it—even my ex who leaked our Vegas wedding all over the internet.
Now we have to go through with this farce…at least until I'm better and the media storm dies down for my hockey star husband.
If that wasn't complicated enough, my sister is married to his brother, which means this fake marriage just took things from ‘mildly complicated’ to ‘full-blown family soap opera.’
We'll have to sell this to our friends and family by fake kissing and sharing a bedroom, all while sticking to our friend zone rules behind closed doors.
But there’s just one tiny secret he doesn’t know:
I’ve been in love with my best friend since I met him.
When he pulls me close and says, “my wife,” I know I won’t ever forget that.
I might have married my best friend out of convenience, but love is anything but convenient.
Perfectly Wedded is a closed door hockey romcom with a holiday epilogue that includes tropes like marriage of convenience, forced proximity, and friends to lovers. This is the first book in a clean, closed door hockey spin off series with just kisses but all the emotional payoff.

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. . . .

Fake-dating has never been so hot.
Celebrity news anchor Olivia’s live-streamed marriage proposal ends in public humiliation — her almost-fiancé Rex says no.
Desperate to escape, Liv flees to Hawaii. Stunning sunsets and ocean views will help her plan her next move. Only to find Rex there too . . . with his new girlfriend!
