BROTHER’S BEST FRIEND + AGE GAP
What would you do with a second chance at your first time? Following a bad breakup, Willow Lewis tackles a re-do list with the help of her brother’s best friend…
Willow experienced all her big firsts with her high school sweetheart. Now, reeling from their very public breakup, she wants to get a re-do on those important moments. While dog-sitting for her brother during his deployment, she has a chance to start over and spending time with his best friend gives her the confidence to start checking items off her “Re-Do list.”
Deacon promised his best friend two things when Cruz left for a deployment: that he’d look out for Willow, and that he’d keep his hands off Cruz’s baby sister. “Operation Re-Do” is innocent enough at first: Deacon likes Willow and he’s willing to help her out any way he can. But when the list of firsts turns from a first dance to first kisses and more, Deacon can’t deny the connection he feels to Willow.
As Deacon’s and Willow’s firsts turn to seconds, thirds, and fourths, this pair can’t get enough of each other—and they support each other through new challenges. But they are both aware there’s an end date to Willow’s time in town… and even if she were to stay, Deacon doesn’t know how to choose between his loyalty to his closest friend and the woman he’s fallen in love with. With no more romantic moments on her list for them to re-do, can these two still find a way to stay together?

A haunting murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of Salem, Massachusetts, sends two people with unique talents hunting for answers from both the past and present…
Skye McMahon sees things. Good and bad, the past unreels in her mind’s eye like a movie. Such is Skye’s uncanny life. That’s why she’s been summoned by Special Supervisory paranormal investigators Jackson and Angela Crowe, to help solve a mystifying murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of historic Salem.

SMALL TOWN
In Gauthier, love isn’t just found. It’s forever.
Tamryn West, Ph.D., did not plan to swap Boston lecture halls for dirt roads, a failing radiator, or a surprise motorcycle rescue. But a research grant leads her to Gauthier, Louisiana, where the past opens doors she never meant to knock on, including the one belonging to Matthew Gauthier, the lawyer who avoided her calls and showed up anyway with dimples fully deployed.
Matt knows the town’s legacy like second nature, a generational inheritance he’d rather protect than narrate. The Gauthier Law Firm has long been the heartbeat of quiet justice, and Matt guards his family history the same way he wins a case, carefully, privately, and without extra commentary. Charming? Occasionally. Cooperative? Never on the first request, or the twentieth.
Their collision begins with a ride into town, luggage retrieved like a good deed that came with invisible fine print, and a quiet spark that grows louder than expected. Archives and chance meetings steer their summer off course, but their journey to happily ever after is worth the ride.

With rugged good looks and muscles for days, Harris Bennett stops traffic no matter what he’s wearing—flannel shirt or football jersey.

Because that “local” looks amazing in yoga pants.

SILVER FOX SHERIFF + SMALL TOWN
This small town *could* be big enough for both of them . . .
Quiet. Serious. Protective. Words Stone Sylver would use to describe himself. And yet, something in his classic blue eyes said he was so much more. Buried beneath the years of raising his younger siblings and working as a small-town sheriff was a man looking for love.
Of course, I didn’t get all that the first night we met. The night we did a one-two step in a hotel hallway and knocked heads. The same night we shared a sweet potato cupcake and a single kiss.
Why didn’t we share more?
The answer became a great mystery and because I thought he was only a brief interlude in my wanderlust life, I wasn’t prepared to see him again in Sterling Falls.
Visiting the small town where I once lived, I learn the man I witnessed act like a superhero was more entwined in my past than I’d remembered. And for a woman often afraid of a future, I suddenly craved one…with him. Which made no sense because I’ve never stuck in one place before. No one had ever asked me to stay.
Then again, from our first encounter, I knew Stone Sylver was different.
This is a standalone novel in the Sterling Falls series.

A young woman who was taught from birth not to dare dream beyond her station, finds herself at rock bottom—divorced, jobless, and living back with her parents. But when her childhood crush turned Hollywood star moves back next door and her every fantasy begins to turn into reality, she must decide whether she is finally brave enough to claim the life and the love she always wanted, or shrink back into the role that others laid out before her. Blending romance with explorations of tradition, cultural identity, and familial expectations, Leylah Attar delivers yet another stunning story that had me crying, laughing, and swooning for a love that was written in the stars. A sublime read.
If you had told me a year ago that I’d be utterly losing my mind over horde kings, dragon riders, or horned blood-drinking aliens, I would have suggested your crystal ball needed polishing. But then I read my first Zoey Draven novel, and everything changed. We return to the world of the Hordes of the Elthika with the story of a gifted pyroki master apprentice, Amaia, who accepts to be sent to the far nation of Karak to work at a dragon hatchery, all the while spying for the throne of Dothik. But her new home is nothing like she expected it to be, its people welcoming and kind, and its king, Alaryk, proves to be the most formidable male she’s ever met. Torn between her loyalty to her family and her growing attachment to Alaryk and his people, Amaia must decide whether to follow her heart or obey the wishes of a capricious ruler and risk losing a love like no other. If you love steam, angst, grovelling, and your hero . . . ahem . . . pierced in more places than one, this book hits all the spots, and more.
Unlike any other book I’ve ever read, this tender love story caught me by surprise and held on tight. It follows Morgan and Sawyer, two complete strangers with very little in common except that they’re both being haunted by their exes. They meet at a support group for haunted humans and soon realise they can help each other. But while Morgan cannot wait to part ways with the misbehaving spectre of her one-night stand, Sawyer is still mourning and clinging to the ghost of his fiancée in the house they’d planned to redesign together. As they both begin to develop feelings for each other, the story morphs into a poignant alchemy of grief and love, an exploration of all the ways love can flourish after loss, even when the heart continues to ache for all it’s lost. A slow-burn romance that is equal parts witty, romantic, sexy, and hauntingly moving.
I’ve never come across a Sarah MacLean novel that I didn’t absolutely devour, but this book—this fascinating, almost theatrically dramatic gem of a story—stole my heart. A wealthy New England family is shaken by the sudden loss of its larger-than-life patriarch, but no one more so than its prodigal daughter—Alice Storm. After five years of being cast out from the family and forging her own path in life, Alice returns to her family’s private island to pay her final respects to her father. But shortly after arriving there, she realises that her eccentric, controlling father is not done manipulating Alice and her siblings even from beyond the grave, forcing them all to spend one week together on the island in order to receive the inheritance. By exploring the real, messy, and deeply broken dynamics of a family brought together by guilt and grief, but ultimately bound to one another by love, MacLean delivers a powerful story riddled with drama, secrets, and family mayhem, as well as a generous dash of heartwarming romance. A superb read.
