Named one of the most anticipated books of 2022 by EW, Oprah Daily, Marie Claire, Goodreads and Bookpage! The USA Today bestselling author of The Worst Best Man is back with a hilarious rom-com about two strangers who get trapped in a lie and have to fake date their way out of it... Just weeks away from ditching DC for greener pastures, Solange Pereira is roped into helping her wedding planner cousin on a random couple’s big day. It’s an easy gig... until Solange stumbles upon a situation that convinces her the pair isn’t meant to be. What’s a true-blue romantic to do? Crash the wedding, of course. And ensure the unsuspecting groom doesn’t make the biggest mistake of his life. Dean Chapman had his future all mapped out. He was about to check off “start a family” and on track to “make partner” when his modern day marriage of convenience went up in smoke. Then he learns he might not land an assignment that could be his ticket to a promotion unless he has a significant other and, in a moment of panic, Dean claims to be in love with the woman who crashed his wedding. Oops. Now Dean has a whole new item on his to-do list: beg Solange to be his pretend girlfriend. Solange feels a tiny bit bad about ruining Dean’s wedding, so she agrees to play along. Yet as they fake-date their way around town, what started as a performance for Dean’s colleagues turns into a connection that neither he nor Solange can deny. Their entire romance is a sham... there’s no way these polar opposites could fall in love for real, right? "Mia Sosa... is genuinely a master of the modern romance novel." — Cosmopolitan

"Where pain and pleasure converge ... her submission becomes my darkest playground." Orion As the youngest Ravage brother, I've spent too much time partying and drinking away my life. Now that I'm sober, I've learned to channel my need for control. And I share my knowledge online, as a masked persona. The last person I expect to message me is Layla, the daughter of the man my mom married. She's always been my greatest temptation, and when she unknowingly confides in my alias, her deepest fantasies become my new obsession. Behind the mask, I teach her the art of surrender-and she's eager to learn every lesson. And when the mask comes off, her resistance only fuels my desire to break and corrupt her. Completely. Layla As a ballet dancer by day, everyone sees me as the epitome of grace and innocence. But beneath the good-girl facade, I have dark, hidden desires I've never told anyone about. Connecting with a mysterious masked man online seems like the perfect solution. He dominates me from behind a screen, making me his willing student. But Orion's return to my life only complicates matters-and our forbidden chemistry is impossible to ignore. I'm caught between the stranger's sadistic magnetism and Orion's intoxicating charm. As it turns out ... they both revel in sculpting my desires with skilled hands and cruel smiles that promise both heaven and hell. Masked Sins is a full-length, "his mom married her dad" billionaire romance with intense themes. It is book four in the Ravaged Castle series. All books can be read as standalones. Warning: This book contains a possessive, jealous antihero who's a sadistic Dominant, explicit sexual situations, and strong language. Despite that, our guy is a bit of a cinnamon roll for Layla. There is no cheating, it is not a love triangle, and there is a HEA.

My name is Zoe McKinley. I have a boring life, an awful job, and a boss that throws staplers at my head. What could be worse? How about being abducted by Aliens? Being dragged through a mirror, naked and screaming, onto an extraterrestrial ship was bad. Finding out I had been sold to a huge alien male who looks like the Devil was worse. But learning he wanted to trade me to an intergalactic petting zoo was the worst of all! Now I'm whizzing through the galaxy with a robot butler, a trio of nib-nibs (they're like tiny green monkeys) and one huge, muscular, and very grumpy alien. The clothing they gave me shows all my lady-bits, the food-sim makes banana cream pie that tastes like sauerkraut, and Sarden, my captor, is too hot to stay mad at, even if he is a jerk. In fact, I think I might be falling for him. What's a girl to do? It's all in a day's work when you've been...Abducted. ***Abducted is Book 1 in my Alien Mate Index series. It is a plus-sized novel--140,000 words long*** From the pen of Evangeline Anderson, the writer who brought you Brides of the Kindred, comes a new race of Alien warriorstwelve races, to be exact. Everyone thinks that life just evolved on Earth- Wrong. Our planet, and twelve others, all capable of supporting Terran life, was seeded by the Ancient Ones. Then Earth was locked away, kept safe in the cocoon of our ozone layer. But now there's a gaping hole in our security blanket and guess who's coming to dinner? That's right - the Alien warriors of the Twelve Peoples - also descended from the Ancient Ones, are looking for mates and Earth girls are their first choice. The Vorn are feared throughout the galaxy. Savage, horned warriors, these males can be surprisingly gentle to the females they choose to bond with. Denarins come in pairs - two muscular males who share a psychic bond... and feel the need to share one woman as well. The Majorans worship their females as goddesses, the very color of their skin changing with their bonded mate's mood. Braxians are savage with black-on-white eyes that can see every spectrum of light. They will defend their females to the last drop of blood in their huge, blue bodies. And there are moreso many more Alien warriors to pick from. Which type of male would you choose? Too bad you won't have a choice, because thanks to the Alien Mate Index, an agency that abducts Earth brides for alien males, you could be snatched at any time and turned into a massive warrior's mate or concubine. So the real question is - who will choose you?

The most twisty, gripping and darkly-unhinged suspense thriller of the year! Fans of Daniel Hurst, TM Logan and Frieda McFadden won't be able to put it down. There's so much to tell. Things I can't say yet. Not because I don't remember, but because some memories bite back when you touch them... Olivia thought she knew darkness. Her childhood. The years in care homes. The fear of abandonment. The fear of loss and failure. Now, as the door clangs shuts behind her - with her captor's promise ringing in her ears that she's 'his' forever - she realises that nowhere before has been as dark as her attic cell. But, under the eaves, as she shivers in the cold and recalls how she was taken, Olivia starts to make a plan. Because only she knows that the girl in the attic isn't as innocent as her captor thinks... and that the deepest darkness might just be within her. Readers are hooked on John Nicholl's thrillers: 'A beautifully crafted thriller, plotted to perfection' Michelle Dunne on The Girl in the Attic 'An outstanding piece of work by a truly masterful storyteller.' Anita Waller 'The chill is tangible!' Owen Mullen 'Dark and disturbing. One to really get your pulse racing. This is a story you won't forget.'

Instant Sunday Times Bestseller "Wickedly funny." -People "A gleeful satir[e]." -Sunday Times "Ferociously entertaining."-Good Housekeeping (UK) With the bite of The White Lotus and the family dynamics of Succession, What a Way to Go is an uproarious and satirical whodunnit about people behaving badly-and perhaps finally getting their just deserts-from the author of the mega-bestseller How to Kill Your Family. When Anthony Wistern died, he expected his family to make a bit more of a fuss about it. Especially after he'd died in such dramatic fashion: skewered by an exorbitantly expensive party decoration in the private lake of his Cotswold's manor house at his sixtieth birthday party, surrounded by the people for whom he most loved flaunting his wealth. And now even death has disappointed him; instead of Heaven or Hell or an empty void, Anthony's soul is stuck in a strange kind of purgatory while he tries to figure out who killed him-before he is finally released from this interminably exasperating waiting room. Olivia Wistern knows she should probably try to appear at least a little upset about her husband's death, but she honestly can't be bothered. As usual, he's left behind an unbelievable mess-financially, socially, personally-that she's going to have to clean up. Their four grown children will be of absolutely no help; she shouldn't have let them become so hopelessly spoiled. And is it just her, or are the police and their "murder investigation" intentionally getting underfoot? There's no shortage of people who hated Anthony, so can't they look for a killer somewhere other than her house? While the Wisterns are more concerned about the fate of their money than the fate of their patriarch, one internet sleuth is highly interested in Anthony Wistern's death. She isn't about to let the opportunity to create a sure-to-be smash true crime podcast pass by, not when the murder was committed mere yards away, and not when she has her own history with the victim.

CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF FROM YOUR SHADOW? The highly-anticipated sequel to the No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling dark fantasy sensation, Book of Night, now in paperback. ________________ Charlie Hall used to be a talented con artist and thief - until her last job nearly killed her. Instead of walking away, she bartered her freedom to the Cabal, a ruthless circle of elite gloamists who trapped Charlie's boyfriend, the powerful shadow named Vince. As the Cabal's new Hierophant, Charlie hunts rogue shadows on their behalf - not out of loyalty, but because it keeps Vince out of their hands. Or, at least, what's left of him. The tether that binds Charlie and Vince erased every memory he had of her, leaving behind only Red - a dangerous Blight with Vince's face. Cold, ruthless, and angry, Red doesn't trust Charlie; he doesn't like her, so when she's pressed into service by the Cabal's most manipulative member, the Puppeteer, she's on her own. Charlie's no investigator, just a thief in over her head, sent to track down the Blight behind a brutal church massacre. And worse, her own shadow is making plans to betray her. Vulnerable, heartbroken, and magically outmatched, Charlie has one last chance to save herself, but the price might be the one person she thought she couldn't bear to lose. ________________ Praise for Book of Night 'Holly Black is a master of fantasy with the Midas touch -- there is no story she cannot turn to gold.' V.E. Schwab 'Will have you frantically turning pages and finishing in less time than you thought possible. Everything you could want from a modern fantasy.' SFX ' A gripping ride from start to finish. Book of Night invites you to reckon with the shadows of your past.' Olivie Blake 'A delicious, dark, adrenaline rush of a book. I'm already dying to see Charlie Hall's next con.' Alix E. Harrow ' Heart, soul, and a bit of kink -- Book of Night is smart, decadent fun.' Kelly Link
