THE CONSEQUENCE OF FALLING by Claire Contreras

AVAILABLE NOW

 •  Romance

The list of things I hate is short. Not even my soon-to-be ex-husband is on that list. Nope. I save only the worst of the worst, the crรจme de la crรจme, the absolute I cannot even for this list . . .

1. Black coffee
2. Rude people
3. Nathaniel Bradley

Which is why when my father informs me that heโ€™s making Nathaniel Bradley his new business partner, and in turn, my boss, I flip out.

1. Heโ€™s an annoying know-it-all.
2. He calls me a spoiled princess every chance he gets.
3. He disapproves of everything I do.

I go into this knowing Iโ€™ll hate every second in his presence. Except the longer heโ€™s around, the more I find myself staring at his lips and remembering the one time they were on mine. I randomly find myself looking at his hands and wondering how theyโ€™d feel on my skin.

I try to snap out of it, but I guess Iโ€™m not as smart as I thought I was. No matter how many times I remind myself of the times Iโ€™ve practically thrown myself at him and heโ€™s pushed me away, I keep falling little by little.

Iโ€™d always heard that it was a bad idea to mix business with pleasure and if thatโ€™s the case, this thing with Nathaniel has demise written all over it.

Allโ€™s fair in love, war, and breakfast wafflesโ€ฆ

Cam Newsom never backs down from a fight. As far as heโ€™s concerned, let the best chef win. And so what if Zoey looks sexy as hell when sheโ€™s all riled up? He wants a woman he can connect with – not have whipped cream spray fights in the middle of the street. A woman like his mysterious online pen-pal, who shares his culinary ambition, and burns up his screen with her flirty quips.

Soon, their competition is heating up the kitchen – and the bedroom. But when the famous foodie TV show Truck Stop rolls into town looking for a new reality star, all bets are off, as Zoey and Cam compete for the prize. But will their rivalry blow both their chances?

And what happens when they find itโ€™s not just their food on the line – but their hearts, too?

THE MAGNOLIA INN by Carolyn Brown

RELEASES Jan 15

AVAILABLE NOW

 •  Romance

New York Timesย bestselling author Carolyn Brown brings together two wounded hearts in a Texas romance of second chances and twice-in-a-lifetime true love.

Inheriting the Magnolia Inn, a Victorian home nestled in the East Texas pines, is a fantasy come true for Jolene Broussard. After living with the guilt of failing to rescue her self-destructive mother, Jolene knows her aunt and uncleโ€™s B&B is the perfect jump start for a new life and a comforting place to call home. Thereโ€™s just one hitch: stubborn and moody carpenter Tucker Malone. Heโ€™s got a half interest in the Magnolia Inn, and heโ€™s planting his dusty cowboy boots squarely in the middle of her dream.

Ever since his wifeโ€™s death, Tuckerโ€™s own guilt and demons have left him as guarded as Jolene. The last thing he expects is for his new partner to stir something inside him he thought was gone forever. And as wary as Jolene is, she may have found a kindred spiritโ€”someone she can help, and someone she can hold on to.

Restoring the Magnolia Inn is the first step toward restoring their hearts. Will they be able to let go of the past and trust each other to do it together?

RELEASES Jan 15

AVAILABLE NOW

 •  YA Fantasy

No one believes in them. But soon no one will forget them.

It’s 1889. The city is on the cusp of industry and power, and the Exposition Universelle has breathed new life into the streets and dredged up ancient secrets. Here, no one keeps tabs on dark truths better than treasure-hunter and wealthy hotelier Sรฉverin Montagnet-Alarie. When the elite, ever-powerful Order of Babel coerces him to help them on a mission, Sรฉverin is offered a treasure that he never imagined: his true inheritance.

To hunt down the ancient artifact the Order seeks, Sรฉverin calls upon a band of unlikely experts: An engineer with a debt to pay. A historian banished from his home. A dancer with a sinister past. And a brother in arms if not blood.

Together, they will join Sรฉverin as he explores the dark, glittering heart of Paris. What they find might change the course of history–but only if they can stay alive.

TANGLED LIKE US by Krista & Becca Ritchie

RELEASES Jan 17

AVAILABLE NOW

 •  Romance

How to protect your heart:
Let your bodyguard have it.

Jane Cobalt is an American princess. The loyal and painfully curious twenty-three-year-old has inherited immense pressure to preserve the Cobalt legacy. But for Jane โ€” sex, love, and life have been a series of royal failures.

After a friends-with-benefits ended in disaster, she’s sworn to a โ€œno sexโ€ hiatus for, well, eternity โ€” and she has no intention of letting anyone in her bed and definitely not her heart.

Twenty-eight-year-old Thatcher Moretti is painfully professional. As the stern 24/7 bodyguard to Jane, thinking about unbridled sex with his sweet client is a sin. One that he keeps committing.

But the real act is a hard line heโ€™d never cross.

When a family member betrays Jane’s trust, the media becomes obsessed with matchmaking the perpetually โ€œsingleโ€ Jane Cobalt and unwanted attention suddenly compromises her safety.

Thatcher would do anything to protect her, and one solution may level the threats:

Become theย fakeย boyfriend to an American princess.

Entwined together with boiling chemistry, new โ€œprofessionalโ€ parameters, and an oath, unsaid feelings threaten to rise and change everything.

BIRTHDAY SUIT by Lauren Blakely

RELEASES Jan 17

AVAILABLE NOW

 •  Romantic Comedy

There is no rule in the Man Code as unbreakable as this: no matter how beautiful, smart, clever, and witty she is, do notโ€”under any circumstancesโ€”fall in love with your best friendโ€™s woman.

Yeah. So thereโ€™s that. Look, itโ€™s not like I didnโ€™t know I screwed up by falling for her.

Also, for the record, unrequited love sucks big time.

And, I might have cut myself some slack by now, given everything that went down in the last few years, but Lulu just walked back into my life in a big way.

***

There are three things I’ve never been able to resistโ€”my friends, my family, and chocolate.

Leo Hennessy? He was nowhere on that list. He’s been a true friendโ€”a friend who walked through hell and back with me.

Now, I’m stepping into my new future. I didn’t expect it to include a riddle-filled, race-against-the-clock scavenger hunt across New York City.
With Leo.

Suddenly, I’m looking at this man with new eyes…

But my life spun out because of a man once before, and I canโ€™t risk my fresh start, no matter what the temptation. And Leo is most definitely a temptation of the sexiest, sweetest, and most dangerous variety.

More irresistibly delicious than chocolate…

THE HAIL MARY by Ginger Scott

RELEASES Jan 18

AVAILABLE NOW

 •  Sports Romance

Sixteen years is a long time. In a marriage, itโ€™s a milestone. On the gridiron, itโ€™s a miracle. Reed Johnson wants more time for everything, but time is funny that way.

It can be cruel.

With a body that canโ€™t quite take the hits it used to and a heart tired of being torn in two different directions, Reed is faced with a reality heโ€™s not quite ready forโ€”life without the game. He became a man under Friday night game lights and in college stadium tunnels, and without the grit and the glory thatโ€™s earned ten yards at a time, heโ€™s afraid of what kind of man heโ€™ll be.

But thereโ€™s more than a game at stake now.

Reedโ€™s wife, Nolan, is afraid too. Sheโ€™s seen what can happen when the love of her life pushes himself too hard, and she canโ€™t escape the nightmares she relives after almost losing her entire world to one single play on the field.

There is no compromise when it comes to football. Same goes for the heart. Youโ€™re either all in, or you get crushed. For Reed and Nolan, the clock is ticking down. Timeโ€ฆit does that. One way or another, theyโ€™re going to have to make a choice.

This is their hail Mary.

This is win or lose.
