WHAT YOU DO TO ME by Rochelle B. Weinstein

RELEASES October 17

AVAILABLE NOW

 •  Romance

From the bestselling author ofย This Is Not How It Endsย comes a moving novel of two unfinished love stories and the music and lyrics that bring them together.

Journalist Cecilia James is a sucker for a love song. So when she stumbles across a clue to the identity of the muse for one of rockโ€™s greatest, she devotes herself to uncovering the truth, even as her own relationship is falling apart.

While writing an article forย Rolling Stone, Cecilia works to reveal the mystery that has intrigued fans and discovers a classic tale of two soulmates separated by fate and circumstance. Rock star Eddie Vee once sang with his soul, dedicating love songs to Sara Friedman, his inspiration and first love. Now, Eddie takes refuge in anonymity, closed off to the past. Sara, too, has distanced herself from their love, moving thousands of miles away to live the life she once railed against. As Eddie and Sara tentatively open up to Cecilia about broken dreams, she struggles to give them a happy ending. In the process, she learns that broken hearts can be healedโ€”even her own.

What You Do To Meย is the story of a love song and of the triumph of the heart over the greatest of odds. Even for those who have written off love forever.

10 THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPENED by Alexis Hall

RELEASES October 17

AVAILABLE NOW

 •  Romantic Comedy

FAKE AMNESIA. REAL FEELINGS? REAL PROBLEMS.

Sam Becker lovesโ€”or, okay, likesโ€”his job. Sure, managing a bed and bath retailer isn’t exactly glamorous, but it’s good work and he gets on well with the band of misfits who keep the store running. He could see himself being content here for the long haul. Too bad, then, that the owner is an infuriating git.

Jonathan Forest should never have hired Sam. It was a sentimental decision, and Jonathan didn’t get where he is by following his heart. Determined to set things right, Jonathan orders Sam down to London for a difficult talkโ€ฆonly for a panicking Sam to trip, bump his head, and maybe accidentally imply he doesn’t remember anything?

Faking amnesia seemed like a good idea when Sam was afraid he was getting sacked, but now he has to deal with the reality of Jonathan’s guiltโ€”as well as the unsettling fact that his surly boss might have a softer side to him. There’s an unexpected freedom in getting a second shot at a first impressionโ€ฆbut as Sam and Jonathan grow closer, can Sam really bring himself to tell the truth, or will their future be built entirely on one impulsive lie?

SHADOWS OF YOU by Catherine Cowles

 •  Romance

It was supposed to be a fresh start. A small town where I could hide my little girl from the shadows that haunt us. A place where I could keep us safe.

The last thing I expected wasย him.

A surly, broody mountain of a man who helps me save an injured deer in a snowstorm.

Now, Roan Hartley keeps showing up with his glowers and grimaces. But they only make his rare smiles and the gentle way he talks to my daughter mean that much more.

When forces from my past find us, Roan is determined to keep us safeโ€”even if that means sleeping on my ancient couch every night.

As days turn to weeks, his touch has my walls crashing down. But someone out there doesnโ€™t want me to find happiness. He doesnโ€™t want me left breathing at allโ€ฆ

JINGLE BELL FLING by Scarlett Cole

RELEASES October 19

AVAILABLE NOW

 •  Holiday Romance

All Nova Williams wants is a magical first Christmas on board her narrowboat, Majestic. Movies, carols, and a hint of sparkle.

Until her Hollywood A-lister and Christmas-hating best friend hammers on her door in the middle of the night.

Only now, heโ€™s looking at her in ways that make her believe Christmas wishes do sometimes come true.

All Presley James wants is to hide from the press and save his detonated career. And there is only one place he can go.

To Nova and her narrowboat.

Except the confined space of Majestic must be messing with his brain. Surely he doesnโ€™tย reallyย want to kiss his best friend, until he finds himself doing just that as their feelings boil over.

But when Presley’s agent suggests a fake relationship with a leading actress to save his career, he faces a choice. Stay with Nova and lose the career he loves, or go back to LA and lose the woman he’s falling in love with.
