A detective barely hanging onto her career. A partner who refuses to walk away. A deadly game of hide and seek neither of them see coming. Detective Samia Lane has had it with getting involved with cops. Her ex-husband—and former captain—was a criminal and a liar who took advantage of the entire department. But when an avid hiker goes missing, she never expects her partner of three years to become anything more than a friend. Banks Everette isn’t looking to stay in the shadows of Samia’s life. He wants more. He won’t let his feelings for her get in the way of the investigation, but just as they uncover answers, the game turns personal. One they didn’t realize they were playing. Can Banks convince the detective he’s always loved to trust him with her broken heart when a killer is out to end their lives?

Hailed as “one of the best writers in the business” by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, multi-award-winning author Maggie Osborne delivers hilarious and heartrending tales of resilient women full of grit, pride, and dignity who shine through hard times. Now meet the most irresistible and independent heroine of them all, a woman called Low Down, who never had anything good happen to her until the day she asked for the one thing that only a man could give her. . . . As scruffy and rootless as the other prospectors searching for gold in the Rockies, Low Down wanted nothing in return for nursing a raggedy bunch through the pox. But when pressed to reveal her heart's wish, she admits, "I want a baby." Not a husband, not a forced marriage to the proud man who drew the scratched marble and became honor bound to marry her. To be sure, Max McCord was easy on the eyes, but he loved another woman and dreamed of a different life. Yet they agreed to a temporary marriage that could end only in disaster. But can this strange twist of fate lead to the silver lining that both have been searching for?

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M

Jackson Rivers. My not so secret crush. He's popular. Gorgeous. Talented. Also my biggest weakness. I've stood by him for years. Been a friend every time he needed one, but he doesn't see me. Not like I want him to. Move on, my friends said. Find someone new. Someone who sees your worth. Someone who gets you. I know they're right. I'm only a friend to him. He's never going to see me like I see him. So I take their advice, and try to move on. But Jackson is always right there. In my face. Running to my rescue. And when I meet someone else, Jackson isn't having it. For some reason, he's suddenly determined to stay in my life. Right by my side. Now he says he wants me, but does he want an actual relationship? Or is that he can't stand the thought of losing me to another guy? It's time to find out what Jackson truly wants...and I'm going to make him work for it. For me.

"I thought maybe I had hallucinated that you were here," Nico commented. "I drank too much last night." "It does seem like a dream," I agreed. "Isn't it amazing?" "That wasn't exactly what I meant..." Tatum and Nico are meant to be. They're perfect for each other! Just ask anyone, except maybe Nico, because he doesn't seem very thrilled that Tatum has shown up uninvited at his new penthouse apartment, in the new city where he lives after being traded away from the Woodsmen football team. The city that's five states away from where they had known each other before...and by the way, she's moving in. But he's been acting off ever since he got traded-acting in ways that are going to sabotage his pro-football career, and Tatum is going to help him. She'll be his life coach, even if he doesn't think he needs one. Or wants one, or even wants Tatum in his life at all. No matter what, she knows that they can make it work, through legal problems, family problems, teammate problems, anything. Because in his heart of hearts, Nico loves her. Now he just needs to realize it too...and with Tatum there to nudge him along the way, they'll find their happily ever after!

Fake dating my sworn enemy to make my ex so jealous he can't see straight? Worth it. Silas and I agree on one thing, and one thing only: my ruthless, heartless, narcissistic jerk of an ex-fiance needs to be taken down a notch. So we do what anyone would do: we pretend to be a couple. Even though Silas and I are polar opposites. Silas is a loud, cheerful, over the top showboat. He’s his hometown’s golden boy, the Marine who came back to rescue kittens from trees and walk old ladies across the street. And me? I'm the awkward new girl who freezes up around strangers and can’t make small talk to save my life. It shouldn’t work. We can barely have a conversation without arguing. There's no way we should be friends, let alone dating, except... Everyone believes it. Especially my ex. Now I'm having way too many real fantasies about the man who gets on my last nerve. My fake boyfriend is starting to feel a whole lot like a real one. The kisses feel real. The way he protects me feels real. The night we spend together in a hotel bed feels very real. This was supposed to be fake, but I think I might have fooled myself most of all. The One Month Boyfriend is the first book in the Wildwood Society series, and can be read as a total standalone. It's for fans of high heat enemies-to-lovers romantic comedies, and features two enemies who fake date for revenge, a quirky, charming small town, a former military cinnamon roll hero, a grumpy heroine who's charmed despite herself, anxiety and PTSD representation, and plenty of steamy scene. Of course, there's an HEA. This series is for fans of Kathyrn Nolan, Elizabeth O'Roark, Kate Canterbary, and Melanie Harlow.
