New York Times Bestseller Corinne Michaels brings you an emotional second chance love story.
Book 1 of 2 in the Indefinite Duet
The day he said heโd never love me is when I vowed Quinn Miller would never break my heart again.
I wanted a familyโbut he wouldnโt give me that. As one of the top embryologists in the country, Iโve spent years creating babies in the lab for other people as my own dreams of motherhood fade.
Iโm done waiting. I decide to start the journey to parenthood alone.
Then Quinn strolls back into my life, with all the finesse of a hurricane. Iโm a fool to think I donโt want him anymore, and one reckless night of passion ends with me pregnant by the man I swore Iโd never love again.
Now he doesnโt just want my heart, he wants it all. The baby. Love. A life where weโre happy.
But even as he promises me the future I always desired, I canโt help but fear that something will rip him away from me again.
This time . . . indefinitely.
This is a part of the Salvation series but can be read as a standalone duet.
I asked for his criteria for bed buddies-that’s the PG version.
He swore at me and said he didn’t do groupies. And just like that, our friendship was off to a great start.
Reese Forster was the starting point guard for the Seattle Thunder.
Gorgeous. Cocky. Loved by the nation.
He’s also attending preseason basketball training camp where I used to work.
Correction: where I work again, because I was fired from my last job.
And dumped.
And I might have a tiny bit of baggage, but that’s normal. Right?
Reese and I shouldn’t have become friends. We shouldn’t have become roommates.
And we really shouldn’t have started sleeping together … (Except we did.)
I’m adorably psychotic. He’s in the NBA.
This is not a disaster waiting to happen, at all.
I was born a royal. She made me a king.
I can’t find my way out of the darkness. Without her, it consumes me. There’s nothing I won’t risk to reach herโmy crown, my family, my life.
Because some love is worth dying for.
They can come for me. They can come for my throne. But I’ll take back what’s mine if I have to burn this city to the ground…

Marjorie Steel is still healing from the events of the past year, and sheโs happy to put her plans to study culinary arts on hold to help her best friend deal with a difficult pregnancy and two recently adopted troubled boys. The fact that Bryce Simpson spends a lot of time at the Steel Ranch is a benefit, and sheโs ready to see if her attraction to him might be something more.
Bryce wants to do a hard dayโs work on the ranch. Once his muscles give out and he collapses from exhaustion, maybe heโll stop torturing himself over his late fatherโs horrific double life.

The only catch is Marjorie. Sheโs beautiful, smart, feisty, and her kisses set him on fire. But heโs an empty shell with nothing to offer her, and she deserves the world.
As the sins of his father continue to haunt him, Bryce learns the horrors of the past may not yet be buried.
In the wake of a climactic battle in the ruined city of Babel, two former best friends suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the same quest.

Meanwhile, Eve’s best friend, Lemon, is coming to terms with a power that she has long denied–and that others want to harness as a weapon. When she meets a strange boy named Grimm, he offers to lead her out of the horror-ridden landscape and to an enclave of other abnorms like herself. There, Lemon quickly finds a sense of belonging–and perhaps even love–among the other genetic deviates.

My name is Clover Calloway and Iโve lived two separate lives.

Potions have been made for thousands of years โ associated with bubbling pots and mysterious ingredients, they have been brewed to make medicines, drugs and poisons. Harry Potter became much better at Potions with a little help from the Half-Blood Prince. Plants have also been important components of medicines as much as myth-making and magic. A source of danger as well as a means of overcoming obstacles, Herbology was a subject which had a major bearing on Harryโs key decisions and mistakes in the wizarding world.
