Fromย New York Timesย bestselling author Jennifer Probst, discover Book of the Monthโฆ
Sheโs desperate for another bestsellerโฆ and sheโll go to any length to get it. Even if it means sacrificing her pride to chase the hottest bachelor in town and get him to break her heartโฆ
Once the literary worldโs golden girl, Aspen Lourde canโt seem to produce another successful book, and the pressureโs on to prove sheโs not just a one-hit-wonder. But thereโs a catch: her bestseller was a heartbreak hit, straight from her own love life disaster. Without any fresh romantic turmoil to fuel her pen, Aspen needs inspiration quick enough to create a book her agent can sell to her publisher. So she escapes for the summer to the Outer Banks with a plan to live a story worth writing.
Brick Babel is a romance novelistโs dream: a local heartthrob with a reputation as wild as the horses running free in the town. Heโs everything Aspen needs for a muse kickstartโgorgeous, moody, and notoriously unattainable. His affairs are legendary in the small town, and every woman warns her off, including her sister.
Too bad a good heartbreak is exactly what she needs to meet her deadline.
But Brick refuses to play the game, rejecting all of her advances. When Aspen hears his tour company is on the verge of bankruptcy, she offers him a deal: fake a whirlwind summer romance, then ditch her, drama guaranteed.
Desperate to save his grandfatherโs business, Brick agrees to the ridiculous deal. What starts as a contractual fling spirals out of control as lines blur and real feelings emerge. Brickโs falling hard, and Aspenโs rethinking her plot twist. The novel might be her ticket back to the top, but at what cost?
Because Aspenโs finally found her muse, but some stories may be too true to share.
Book of the Month isnโt just about finding love where you least expect it.
Itโs about finding yourself in the pages of lifeโs unexpected chapters.
Some secrets are silent.
It began with a contract, with Channing Harvey being forced into marriage by the worldโs grumpiest billionaire. She hated every moment of her marriage to Win Hallidayโฆ until she didnโt. It was hard to resist when he proved he valuedย herย more than his massive fortune. Channing is having a hard time picturing her life without him, and if Win finds that out, he wonโt rest until he has all of her. Deep, dark secrets included.
Some secrets scream.
Win Halliday is so close to having everything heโs ever secretly wanted. Heโs ready to do battle with Channingโs demons, no matter what they are. Or who they might be. Someone from Channingโs past wants to use her, and theyโll go to desperate lengths to get what they want, including targeting an innocent teenager. But whatever lengths they go to, Win will go farther. He finally has the family heโs dreamed of, and he will protect them at all costs.
Calculating, cold, often without emotion was how I was described by those closest to me. I had thought perhaps there was truth to their depiction until this endless searing pain took the place in my chest where my heart used to be. Vengeance now ate away at my soul. The wrath I planned to unleash would make the demons in Hell appear mild.
At least, that was untilโฆ
The twisted crux came in the form of eyes bluer than the sky on a warm summer day, a slightly upturned nose with a scattering of freckles, a pink cupid bow mouth, and a smile that made a manโs knees weak.
The events that brought us here meant I should loathe her existence for eternity, yet my need for her grows with each passing day. Sheโs too young, sheโs vulnerable and broken, but somehow, sheโs not damaged. She was the cause of what had left me with this raging agony, and yet, the balm that eased my soul. Still, I can never forgive the destruction she caused me and those I love.
I had become a mockery of my revenge because holding her at night while she slept was the only thing keeping me sane. Sheโll pay the price through my cruelty, never knowing that while she dreams, I find my solace.
My story begins with my worst nightmare.
And sheโs the reason behind all of it.
