'Such a fun, sparkling, swoonworthy romance full of memorable moments' - Cressida McLaughlin *** A slow-burn romance fifteen years in the making... Hattie has spent half her life secretly crushing on Freddie - her best friend Sam's irresistibly gorgeous older brother. But Freddie? He's barely spared a glance for Hattie, the girl Sam befriended one fateful New Years' Eve when they discovered they were birthday twins. Fast-forward to now: Hattie finds herself single for the first time in years - just before the holidays. Enter Sam, who, in classic best-friend fashion, whisks her away to a remote cabin in the Forest of Dean to cheer her up. Snowy woodland views? Check. A crackling fire and a steamy hot tub? Check.

An epic and emotional coming-of-age romance for fans of Chloe Walsh. Milow can't speak. Her father took her voice before she ever had a chance to use it, leaving her trapped in silence and haunted by memories no one should ever endure. Every day is a reminder of what was taken from her, and every moment is a quiet battle to survive the shadows of her past. When she arrives at a new foster home, Milow expects nothing. Just another place where she doesn't belong and isn't loved. But then she meets Ashby, her new foster brother, who has lived through his own hell. Somehow, he sees her, and without words or judgment, he understands her in a way no one else ever has. Growing up together, their bond deepens into something unbreakable. Ashby becomes her protector and the one constant in her life. They spend years leaning on each other, but childhood doesn't last forever, and that closeness starts to shift into something more complicated and intense. As they grow older, the world gets more cruel. The bullying Milow has endured her whole life never lets up, and it only becomes heavier. At the same time, the pressure on Ashby keeps building as school and swimming demand more from him. Milow has to decide how much of herself she can risk in a world that has never treated her gently, while Ashby has to choose what he's willing to sacrifice to reach his goals. But after everything, they know one truth: no matter what it costs, they will always choose each other. AUTHOR'S NOTE Each book in this series focuses on a different couple and tells their story. All the stories take place during the same time period, so events in one book may overlap with those in another. You will encounter familiar situations, locations, or characters from the other books, but from the couple's perspective featured in the current story. Because the books share the same timeline and interconnect in this way, they are meant to be read in order (or, in the future, as tandem reads) and cannot be fully understood as standalone stories. Together, the books form a continuous, interconnected series. That said... Milow and Ashby will get at least 1 more book!

Despite her fierce friendships, she's always felt this way, and the conventional path of marriage and motherhood doesn't appeal to her at all. Not even with handsome and doting Martin, her closest childhood friend. Lucy begins to make sense of herself during a long hot summer, when a spark with her school friend Susannah escalates to an all-consuming infatuation, and, very quickly, to a desperate and devastating love. Fearful of rejection from her small and conservative community, Lucy begins living a double life, hiding the most honest parts of herself in stolen moments with Susannah. But with the end of school and the opportunity to leave Crossmore looming, Lucy must choose between two places, two people and two futures, each as terrifying as the other. Neither will be easy, but only one will offer her happiness. Sunburn is an astute and tender portrayal of first love, adolescent anxiety and the realities of growing up in a small town where tradition holds people tightly in its grasp.

SHE'S HIS WEAPON AND HIS WEAKNESS. HE'S HER KING AND THE ONE TEMPTATION SHE CAN'T AFFORD. "If you love yearning, and I know you do, you need this book immediately."—Chloe Neill, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Idallia knows exactly who she is: a phoenix-riding warrior in the Dragon King's elite fighting squadron. She also knows how different she is from the other peoples of Ellonrift. She's too fast, strong, and long-lived to be human. She doesn't have fae magic, shifting powers, or a vampire's thirst for blood. So where did she come from, and why is she the only one? The more Idallia finds out about her mysterious origins, the further she seems from the truth—and the closer she gets to the fiercely protective Dragon King, who might be keeping secrets that could destroy them both. Bale has spent centuries guarding a kingdom and the hidden treasure he's been training and shielding for far longer than she knows. Idallia was supposed to be the ace up his sleeve and his triumph over his greatest enemy. Instead, she's become the one person he can't seem to let go of, even for his own good. With the kingdoms of Ellonrift on the brink of war, now is the time to act, but thrusting her into the political game he's played his whole life could cost him everything—his home, his crown, and his heart. Secrets collide with a scorching hidden attraction as Idallia starts to uncover the truth, and Bale knows he must choose between desire and duty. One can stop the devastation. One might let it all burn.
