Description:
Grace Mathews had haunted my dreams for what felt like forever. She wasn't the one who got away, she was the one who had never been.

She'd never been mine, never been anything more than just a sweet, shy co-worker. Even though I'd wanted her to be so much more.

She disappeared from my life the same way she'd entered it - quietly, quickly, and unexpectedly.

But fate has a way of circling back. One ordinary day, in a place I'd never expected, there she was.

When I discovered the truth behind her sudden disappearance, I promised to help her. I convinced her to return home with me, vowing it was the safest place for her to be.

Marriage was a logical solution, a way to shield Grace from danger and keep her close. So, I vowed to have and to hold her, to watch over her and protect her from harm.

I was looking for our happily ever after, but someone had other plans. The man who had chased her across the state and back wasn't done with her. Not by a long shot.

But I'd made a promise, a vow, to Grace. I was determined to keep my word, no matter what it cost.

Emmalina

My life will be over in months.

At the end of the summer, I'll be engaged to Antonio Marchese, my family's rival.

I've never lived. Never loved. I've been a pawn since I was born, and there's no escaping this fate.

All I can do is try to get away for a while and delay the inevitable.

Meeting this cocky street fighter is not supposed to happen.

I shouldn't watch him and yearn for the impossible.

Most of all, I have no business wanting him to claim me.

Lucas

I'll never quit. Not my job, not all the overtime, and not the illegal fights I do to make decent money.

I was born struggling to make it in this world, and even if my manager refuses to let me advance, I'll figure it out.

Just so long as I stay away from trouble.

That gorgeous guest in the VIP condo is nothing but drama waiting to happen, but I find myself saving her, time and time again.

We're too different. There's not a chance in hell I can make time for a wealthy brat like her.

Until, one hot night in Miami, I do.

And suddenly, I'm in far too deep with my mafia girlfriend.

Description:
A Victorian bluestocking with a passion for lost causes attracts the unwilling attention of a frost-hearted viscount during her tumultuous debut season in Bath in USA Today bestselling author Mimi Matthews’s fifth book in her acclaimed Somerset Stories series.

West Country beauty Hannah Heywood may be quiet with fashionable strangers, but when it comes to animals in need, she has no trouble finding her voice. Newly arrived in Bath for her very first season, all she desires is to find one like-minded gentleman. A man of warmth and compassion, as sensitive to animals as he is to people. But if such a man exists, he dare not approach her. Not with the tall, blond, and menacing Viscount St. Clare standing in the way.

James Beresford, Viscount St. Clare has often been described as a sentient block of ice. A man so cold and dispassionate, he would never suit a young lady of Hannah’s disposition. And she would certainly never suit him. Focused on repairing his family’s infamous reputation, James requires a diamond of the first water. The daughter of a duke or a marquess, at least, not a simple country girl with a passion for four-legged creatures.

And yet, there’s something about conscience-driven young Hannah that draws James, first to Bath, and then into one increasingly hare-brained scheme after another. She confounds him at every turn, subverting his expectations and threatening to do what no lady has succeeded in doing before—thawing his ice-cold heart.

Donovan

When my honeymooning best friend asks me to abandon my beloved Manhattan to house sit for him in Rosedale, Connecticut, I plan to use my small-town summer to finish my unfinishable play. Until it turns out the house was double-booked, and I suddenly have a roommate for the summer. Honestly, Beck’s not so bad—he’s either sunning in a Speedo or baking cookies that taste like my childhood—but how can I get any work done with that kind of distraction?

Beck

After dropping out of law school, I need to figure out my next act, but I’d rather procrastinate by the pool while house sitting for my cousin. I wasn’t expecting company, but I’m happy to share, especially since Donovan is as hot as the pavement in July. He seems to be into me, too, but I don’t do one-time hook-ups and he’s definitely not in the market for a boyfriend.

So we make a deal. Two months. Roommates-with-benefits. No strings.

But as summer wears on, our arrangement feels more like a relationship than some of the relationships I’ve been in, and it’s clear I’m not getting out of this with my heart intact. I’m not only falling in love with Donovan, I’m also falling in love with Rosedale. Will I be able to leave Rosedale, and Donovan, behind?

The legend of Bigfoot gets a bone-chilling update in this scary story about a young girl and her scout troop who are willing to brave the woods to find her missing friend when no one else will. Perfect for fans of Daka Hermon and Claribel A. Ortega!

The wilderness is in Jenna’s blood. Her Pap was the first Black park ranger at Sturbridge Reservation, and she practically knows the Owlet Survival Handbook by heart. But she’s never encountered a creature like the one that took her best friend Reese. Her parents don’t believe her; the police are worthless, following the wrong leads; and the media isn’t connecting the dots between Reese’s disappearance and a string of other attacks. Determined to save her friend, Jenna joins a new local scout troop, and ventures back into the woods.

When the troop stumbles across suspicious signs: huge human-like footprints near the camp, scratch marks on trees, and ominous sounds from the woods, Jenna worries that whatever took Reese is back to take her too. Can she trust her new scout leader? And will her new friend Norrie—who makes her laugh and reminds her so much of Reese—believe her?

After the unthinkable happens, the scouts, armed with their wits and toiletries, band together to fight the monster and survive the night.

The eleventh book in the New York Times best-selling Villains series follows the downfall of Disney’s slickest, quickest, and smarmiest villain: Gaston.

He knew he was the best. He knew he was everyone's favorite guy.

You may think this tale as old as time has been told before.
You may know about the Beauty, and the Beast, and the curse they broke together. But some stories have more than one ending. Some stories have more than one villain.

Such is the story of Gaston. Growing up, young Gaston and the prince were brothers in all but blood. Their boyhood adventures led them throughout the many rooms of the castle, and into the deep woods beyond. The woods that were home to the legendary Beast of Gévaudan, a terrifying creature whose presence loomed larger than life in their imaginations.

Then one fateful night, a violent tragedy changed their lives—and their friendship—forever, setting each of them down a very different path: the first, of greed and entitlement, the second, of determination to right the wrongs of the past.

The prince, as we know, paid a price for his wicked ways. And Gaston, fueled by the magic of three meddling witches, grew ever more haunted by a singular mission: to become the hero who killed the Beast.
