A sexy singles auction with a hidden agenda that comes with a prize of a lifetime… Cherry Ryan Some would say my biggest weakness is being too kind. I’d say it’s not being able to tell my best friend no. That’s how I ended up on not only a reality dating show, which we are so not talking about, but also in a singles auction, right when I’d sworn off dating. I should have stuck to my vow because none other than Mr. Tall, Dark, and Arrogant won the bidding war. That man… That man looked way too good in a tux and visions of naughty fantasies danced in my head, but his attitude made my blood boil. And that wasn't the only thing heating up, especially as I got to know him… Jason Valentine I know I told my best friend and business partner I’d do anything to save our company but wining and dining some faux reality star was a bit much, even if she was the key to landing the contract we needed. I expected a diva, but what I found was a woman that brought out the best and worst in me. Someone I was willing to risk it all for. If only the outside world would let us be and leave the past where it belonged.

Roomies with benefits and the potential for so much more in Marriage Lessons by Katie Ruggle, writing as Katie Allen Falling for your boss—no matter how fast he makes your pulse race—is such a cliché. But it’s one Annabelle Shay can’t seem to avoid. Gallery owner Louis Dumont is stupid hot. Plus, he’s sweet, sensitive and a brilliant artist. But he’s also oblivious. Which is good because Annabelle loves her job too much to risk it. Louis hasn’t been with a woman since he was wounded in Afghanistan, remaining guarded about his body and his heart. But Annabelle is different. She keeps him grounded. Which is why protecting her—first pretending to be her husband to ward off unwanted attention, then inviting her to move in after her landlord kicks her out—feels so natural, even if it invites rampant temptation. Try as Annabelle might, there are some desires you simply can’t shake. Louis repeatedly joke-asking her to marry him isn’t helping, especially when their unbearable attraction upgrades them to roomies with benefits. But Louis is still keeping pieces of his past to himself, leaving Annabelle to wonder if he’ll ever truly be vulnerable with her—or if she stands to lose everything. One-click with confidence.

The countdown to college has begun. When Elizabeth receives her freshman-year roommate assignment at the beginning of summer, she shoots off an email to coordinate the basics: TV, microwave, mini-fridge. She can't wait to escape her New Jersey beach town, and her mom, and start life over in California. That first message comes as a surprise to Lauren in San Francisco; she had requested a single. But if Lauren's learned anything from being the oldest of six, it's that you can't always get what you want, especially when what you want is privacy. Soon the girls are e-mailing back and forth, sharing secrets even though they've never met. With childhood friendships and family relationships strained by change, it suddenly seems that the only people Elizabeth and Lauren can rely on are the complicated new boys in their lives...and each other. With humor and heart, Sara Zarr, National Book Award finalist for Story of a Girl, and Tara Altebrando, acclaimed author of The Pursuit of Happiness, join forces for a novel about that time after high school when everything feels like it's ending just as it's beginning.
