It's 1957, and 19-year-old Charlotte Covington has dreams of winning Olympic gold-and the talent to make it happen. The only problem? When her parents catch her in a relationship with her swim coach-whom she's been forbidden to date-they issue an ultimatum: find another trainer or retire her goggles for good. Instead, she opts for a third choice: running off with her love. But when an unplanned pregnancy turns her world upside-down, just days before their great escape, Charlotte's exhilaration morphs to terror. Money is scarce and emotions run high when she and Nolan begin their new life together in Atlantic City, and as Charlotte hides the truth from her husband-to-be, she worries: what kind of future is built on a lie? She pours her fears-and her soul-into a letter to the baby, tucks it inside a bottle, and sends it out to the ocean's embrace.
Fifty-six years later, Remi Friedman stumbles upon that bottle right when she needs it most. In the midst of a fruitless job search, the 27-year-old is ready for a change. The interviews exasperate her, the close-but-not-quite rejections of her manuscripts chisel away at her soul, and the "I've met somebody else" bombshell dropped by her longtime boyfriend reignites her belief that romance is akin to quicksand. Charlotte's letter inspires her to buy a one-way ticket to Nantucket, and there, 600 miles from the only home she's ever known, she finds the fresh start she craves: a companion in the cat she rescues, one job at an animal shelter and another at a bed-and-breakfast, and enough distance from her past to protect the fortress around her heart. Or so she thinks. What she isn't counting on is Eli, whose family owns the bed-and-breakfast and who makes it his mission to carve a crack into the walls she's built. And what about Charlotte, who she's determined to track down? When she finally succeeds, will it prove there's another story in her heart, after all, or will it threaten everything she's most certain of in the world?
From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale in her fan-favorite Never After series.
She doesn't belong to him...she belongs to the crown.
Prince Tristan Faasa was never destined for the throne. That was always his brother, Michael. The same brother responsible for both Tristan's tormented childhood and the scar that mars his face. When their father dies, Michael is set to assume the throne, and Tristan is set to steal it. The leader of a secret rebellion, Tristan will stop at nothing to end his brother's reign. But when Michael's new betrothed, Lady Sara Beatreaux arrives, Tristan finds himself in the middle of a new kind of war. The kind that begs the question of what's more important, the crown or the woman about to wear it.
Sara has one plan. Marry the King and eradicate the Faasa line, even at the risk of her own peril. But she never expects the Scarred Prince. He's dangerous. Forbidden. And one of the men she's been sent to kill. But the line between hatred and passion has never seemed so thin, and as secrets come to light, Sara grows unsure of whom she can trust--torn between vengeance and the villain she was never supposed to love.

There's a reason this bearded, bad-boy barber doesn't get involved with high-maintenance women, especially not Type-A romantic ones.

And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble, he can leave her alone and get back to his quiet, solitary life.
At least, that's the plan.

From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes a dark rock star romance inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Rich bonus features include:
Eden Abraham's world has gone up in smoke. Literally. When a fire destroys her apartment building, the twenty-eight-year-old songwriter loses everything: her home, her belongings, her job, her muse, and herself. Nashville was supposed to be her dream-come-true, her harmony in a life riddled with uneven chords. Now she's sleeping in a homeless shelter and wondering how long it'll be before her money runs out. With no one to turn to, Eden can't help feeling like all hope is gone.
Until she overhears a little boy wishing on a penny. When she watches the coin splash into the fountain in the shelter's courtyard, Eden is seized by a desire to fulfill his wish. Her life might have burned to the ground, but that doesn't mean she can't bring joy to somebody else's. For the first time in weeks, she feels like she matters. Then a song lyric comes to her, something that hasn't happened since the fire. So she continues. The more wishes she grants, the more songwriting inspiration she draws from the people she meets and the stories they share.
Sometimes the results are wonderful, like when she reunites a couple for their anniversary. Sometimes they're not, like when she gives a CD to a veteran and accidentally brings back the war memories that haunt him. And sometimes they're downright disastrous, like when she inadvertently causes a lawsuit that could mean the end of someone's business. The worst part is that the someone is Wilson, the man she's falling in love with, the man she's hidden her homelessness from, and, now, the man whose world she might have just ruined. As her happily-ever-after with Wilson starts to slip away, Eden must decide if it's best to run from her failures, or to stay and fight ... and if it just might take losing everything to find her voice.

Forbes may have labeled Ford Grant the World's Hottest Billionaire, but all he cares about is escaping the press and opening a recording studio in gorgeous small town Rose Hill. Something that comes to a screeching halt when he ends up face-to-face with a young girl who claims he's her biological father. Now, he spends his days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old, all while trying desperately to keep his hands the hell off his best friend's sister, Rosie Belmont.
After living in the city, Rosie came blasting back into town like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic. And one wide-eyed, desperate plea for a job is all it takes for Ford to hire her. He vows to keep her at arm's length. Tries to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her, verbal sparring is a type of foreplay--friction that soon turns to blistering heat.
Ford knows damn well he shouldn't cross this line. But shouldn't and can't are two very different things.
And the only thing he truly can't do is resist her.
She's always dreamed of her wedding day. And those dreams never included saying "I do" to a man she hates.
But when Tabitha's nephew's guardianship is contested, she decides she'll do whatever it takes to keep him in Rose Hill. Even if it means marrying the enemy.
Rhys Dupris.
A man who is secretive, broody, and completely infuriating. A man whose work takes him away for weeks on end and brings him back covered in mysterious bruises--ones he won't talk about. In fact, Tabitha and Rhys barely talk at all.

The tension between them has always been palpable. But living under the same roof is a dangerous temptation.
Tabitha swore she would never forgive him. But that was before she knew the man behind the mask. The one who's fierce and protective. The one who's gentle and patient. The one who shows up for her and her nephew when they need him most.
He's not at all who she thought he was.
And that makes hating her husband so much harder...and loving him just a little too easy.
