First Son Alex
Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With
his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White
House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President
Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when
photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal
wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations.
The plan for damage control:
staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince. Alex is busy
enough handling his mother’s bloodthirsty opponents and his own political
ambitions without an uptight royal slowing him down. But beneath Henry’s Prince
Charming veneer, there’s a soft-hearted eccentric with a dry sense of humor and
more than one ghost haunting him.
As President Claremont kicks
off her reelection bid, Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret relationship
with Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. And Henry
throws everything into question for Alex, an impulsive, charming guy who
thought he knew everything: What is worth the sacrifice? How do you do all the
good you can do? And, most importantly, how will history remember you?
My name is Mercedes Athena
Thompson Hauptman, and I am a car mechanic.
And a coyote shapeshifter . . . And the mate
of the Alpha of the Columbia Basin werewolf pack.
Even
so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I
hadn't stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the
citizens who lived in our territory. It seemed like the thing to do at the
time. It should have only involved hunting down killer goblins, zombie goats,
and an occasional troll. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground, a
place where humans would feel safe to come and treat with the fae.
The
reality is that nothing and no one is safe. As generals and politicians face
off with the Gray Lords of the fae, a storm is coming and her name is Death.
But
we are pack, and we have given our word. We will die to keep it.
It all started with a sexy selfie.
Texted to the wrong number.
Texted to the wrong number.
Oops.
Not my finest moment—but I have nothing to be ashamed of.
Not my finest moment—but I have nothing to be ashamed of.
She thought I was no better, and I quote, than the knuckle-dragging
douche-bags she was never dating again.
It was a stupid dare from a girl I’d met online, but since
she’d given me a fake number, I didn’t feel bad that my interests were suddenly
focused elsewhere—on the fiery and sharp-tongued, Peyton that I found myself
sparring with over text for the rest of the evening.
The following day, my case of mistaken identity came back to
bite me in the banana.
When I strolled into the office, I was introduced to Peyton
as the new client I needed to win over. The Peyton , in case
you're not tracking.
And let’s just say she had my full attention.
Brains? Check.
Beauty? Oh yeah.
And the best part? She hated me on sight.
And the best part? She hated me on sight.
Dear God, do I love a challenge.
Let
the games begin.
Mia and Jake have known each other their whole lives. They’ve
endured summer vacations, Sunday brunches, even dentist visits together. Their
mothers, who are best friends, are convinced that Mia and Jake would be the
perfect couple, even though they can’t stand to be in the same room together.
After Mia’s mom turns away yet another cute boy, Mia and Jake
decide they’ve have had enough. Together, they hatch a plan to get their moms
off their backs. Permanently. All they have to do is pretend to date and then
stage the worst breakup of all time—and then they’ll be free.
The only problem is, maybe Jake and Mia don’t hate each other
as much as they once thought...
When Chloe Pierce’s mom forbids her to apply for a spot at
the dance conservatory of her dreams, she devises a secret plan to drive two
hundred miles to the nearest audition. But Chloe hits her first speed bump when
her annoying neighbor Eli insists upon hitching a ride, threatening to tell
Chloe’s mom if she leaves him and his smelly dog, Geezer, behind. So now
Chloe’s chasing her ballet dreams down the east coast―two unwanted (but kinda
cute) passengers in her car, butterflies in her stomach, and a really dope
playlist on repeat.
The end of Silence was supposed to create a better world for
future generations. But trust is broken, and the alliance between Psy,
Changeling, and human is thin. The problems that led to Silence are back in
full force. Because Silence fixed nothing, just hid the problems.
This time, the Psy have to find a real answer to their
problems–if one exists. Or their race will soon go extinct in a cascade of
violence. The answer begins with an empath who is attuned to monsters–and who
is going to charm a wolf into loving her despite his own demons.
When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary,
they're thrown out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged
older sister, Hannah, and her husband, Thomas, whom Ben has never even met.
Struggling with an anxiety disorder compounded by their parents' rejection,
they come out only to Hannah, Thomas, and their therapist and try to keep a low
profile in a new school.
But Ben's attempts to survive the last half of senior year
unnoticed are thwarted when Nathan Allan, a funny and charismatic student,
decides to take Ben under his wing. As Ben and Nathan's friendship grows, their
feelings for each other begin to change, and what started as a disastrous turn
of events looks like it might just be a chance to start a happier new life.
I’m a gigolo. Male escort. Hustler… whatever you like to call
us. And in the past seven years, I’ve had sex with… well, I stopped counting
after I hit five hundred… basically, I’ve screwed a lot of women.
I know what you’re thinking... I must have had a terrible
childhood, something horrendous happened in my life that drove me to this
career.
Wrong.
The best thing to ever happen to me is why I work this job.
The best thing to ever happen to me is why I work this job.
My daughter.
I’m a single dad. And I have sex with women for money, to
feed, clothe and put a roof over my eight year old daughters head.
Not ideal, I know, but now I need the money more than ever…
Four weeks ago my worst nightmare happened… my baby girl was
diagnosed with Cancer. Now, I have to earn, and earn big, to pay the mounting
medical bills.
I have never felt more terrified, and more alone, in my life.
My name is Lucas Adams.
My name is Lucas Adams.
And this is my story.
Fatima lives in the city of Noor, a thriving stop along the
Silk Road. There the music of myriad languages fills the air, and people of all
faiths weave their lives together. However, the city bears scars of its recent
past, when the chaotic tribe of Shayateen djinn slaughtered its entire
population -- except for Fatima and two other humans. Now ruled by a new
maharajah, Noor is protected from the Shayateen by the Ifrit, djinn of order
and reason, and by their commander, Zulfikar.
But when one of the most potent of the Ifrit dies, Fatima is
changed in ways she cannot fathom, ways that scare even those who love her. Oud
in hand, Fatima is drawn into the intrigues of the maharajah and his sister,
the affairs of Zulfikar and the djinn, and the dangers of a magical battlefield.
Single-mother Poppy Patterson moved across the country when
she was sixteen and pregnant to find a new normal. After years of hard work,
she's built a life she loves. It may include a job at a nightclub, weekend
soccer games, and more stretch marks than she anticipated, but it's all hers,
and nobody can take that away. Well, except for one person.
TK Moore, the starting wide receiver for the Denver Mustangs,
dreamt his entire life about being in the NFL. His world is football, parties,
and women. Maybe at one point he thought his future would play out with his
high school sweetheart by his side, but Poppy is long gone and he's moved
on.
When Poppy and TK cross paths in the most unlikely of places,
emotions they've suppressed for years come rushing back. But with all the
secrets they never told each other lying between them, they'll need more than a
dating playbook to help them navigate their relationship.
