A hardworking single mom returns to her seaside hometown and stumbles into a fake dating situationship with a wealthy, workaholic scion, from the New York Times bestselling author of It's a Love Story
If they begin by pretending, can they end with something real?
Dolly Brick is a woman you can rely on. She’s never met a problem she couldn’t solve. Not when her mom left when she was ten, and not at thirty-nine when she returns to her hometown of Whitfield, Rhode Island to help her dad and brother from losing the family home.
So when she sees Stewart Whitfield – annoyingly handsome scion of the Whitfield family – with a flat tire and at the wrong end of a very public, very humiliating breakup, it’s in her nature to help. But what Stewart asks of Dolly ends up being more than either of them bargained for. As public dinners and high society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and kisses that give her butterflies, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She’s never relied on anyone besides herself, can she really start now?

Twelve years ago, their fates were sealed with a kiss.
They are all, for better or worse, doomed to love each other until death do them part. Auden Guest's heart belongs to Proserpina and St. Sebastian – even if he no longer wants it. Even if she has left it behind to follow him.
Delphine has fled back home, and Becket's holy calling is in peril.
And now only Rebecca and Auden remain at Thornchapel to face the unknown.
The door is open. The door that shouldn't exist; the door that people have died to close. Auden doesn't feel like the lord of the manor. He doesn't feel like a king or a wild god. He is a friend and a boyfriend and a brother – and a failure at being all of these things. But the door doesn't care about his guilt. It only cares about the sacrifice he'll make to close it.
As the bruising dark of Samhain approaches, so does the fate of their circle, of Thornchapel and the village and the valley beyond it. And Auden must don the crown, because one thing is still true, even if he must face it alone.
Here at Thornchapel, the kings must go to the door.
Here at Thornchapel, all kings must die.
The insatiably sexy Thornchapel series concludes with Door of Bruises – a spicy dark academia romance full of enrapturing passion and enemies to lovers drama.

RAY
Back-up plans are for people who plan on losing. Which is exactly why I didn't have one.
It took eight seconds for me to win the biggest bull-riding competition of my life, and then one second to lose everything except that championship buckle.
I left my family's cattle ranch at eighteen with no intention of ever returning. But now I was back, stuck in a wheelchair . . . and with a beautiful disaster attempting to burn my house down.
BROOKE
It was just a little fire. Tiny, even. But that didn't change the fact that Ray Griffith didn't want me anywhere near him. I came here to be his care-giver, and I'm determined to do my job anyway.
So we came to an agreement: I ignore him, and he doesn't fire me.
Easy, right? Not so much when we can't keep our hands off each other . . .

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE WITH AMAZON PRIME, STARRING ESTER EXPÓSITO
A billionaire heiress suddenly finds her life in danger and forced to live with a 24/7 strict bodyguard she never asked for in this brand-new romantic suspense novel from the internationally bestselling author of My Fault series, Mercedes Ron. Perfect for fans of Ana Huang and Danielle Lori's Made series.
He was my protection . . . and my greatest weakness.
Twenty-year-old Marfil Cortés is finally living life on her own terms. After escaping her billionaire father’s world for New York, she spends her days juggling Columbia classes and stolen hours at her ballet studio. Normal. Predictable. Exactly how she likes it.
Until the afternoon she’s abducted in Central Park.
Days later, Marfil wakes up in hospital with no memory of what happened and only the chilling certainty that she’s no longer safe. Now her hard-won independence comes at a price when her father assigns her an around-the-clock bodyguard.
Cold, controlled and infuriatingly unreadable, Sebastian Moore is everything she resents – and exactly what she needs. But as danger closes in and the stakes rise, so does the tension between them.
Because the closer Sebastian gets, the harder it is for Marfil to keep her distance when she discovers that the real threat might not be the one lurking in the shadows . . . but the feelings she never meant to have for the man sworn to protect her.
Lush, addictive and charged with suspense, Drawn Together is a darkly romantic story about love and survival, temptation and control, and the cost of uncovering what others would rather keep buried.
