Bridget Jones for the vampire obsessed: fans of Olivia Dade, Tessa Bailey, and Julie Murphy will love to sink their teeth into this charming romantic comedy.

Single (plus size) vampire, desperately in search of a life.

Twenty-five year old Lily Baines is used to waking up hungover, overweight, and underemployed. Waking up with fangs? Not so much. But when a little light necking has more serious consequences than she ever imagined, Lily's determined to get to the bottom of it, or die (again) trying.

Tristan hadn't meant to turn Lily--it's against vampire law--but now that she's here, they need to team up to save both their hides. They strike an uneasy truce, fending off other vampires, Lily's work-rival-turned-slayer, and her mother's tone-deaf romance and fitness advice...all while Lily faces down her insecurities about the fact that she lives in a diet-obsessed world with a body that will never age, never die, and never change. 

Falling for her maddeningly gorgeous sire? Easy. Surviving an ancient vampire Master determined to see her twice-dead? Piece of cake. But can Lily ever truly learn to love the woman she'll be forever more?

Perfect for fans looking for:

 * a little Halloween spirit
 * body positive representation
 * enemies to lovers vibes

A Riley Thorn Novel

Her spray-tanned, self-absorbed news anchor ex-husband careening back into her life was not on this psychic detective's bingo card. But not only does Griffin Gentry show up unexpectedly at Riley Thorn's door--the real shock is that he's begging for her help. However, Riley's hot private investigator boyfriend Nick Santiago refusing to take the job is...well, less of a surprise. Too bad for Nick that his octogenarian business partner overrules him and decides to take the lead on Griffin's case. And when a dead body makes it clear someone really is out to get Riley's ex, the mile-long suspect list puts all hands on deck at Santiago Investigations. Even the wrinkly, retired ones. It's only a matter of time before Griffin brings danger directly to Riley's doorstep. And with she and Nick busy interviewing suspects, their elderly roommates are wreaking havoc in the surveillance department. Can Riley block out the chaos and focus on her psychic visions long enough to narrow down the list of suspects, or will Griffin Gentry's karma be the downfall of them all?

Now, Zélie struggles to unite the maji in an Orïsha where the enemy is just as powerful as they are. But when the monarchy and military unite to keep control of Orïsha, Zélie must fight to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath. With civil war looming on the horizon, Zélie finds herself at a breaking point: she must discover a way to bring the kingdom together or watch as Orïsha tears itself apart.

For as long as she can remember, Gwendolyn Allister has never had a place to call home. Her mother believes they are being hunted by brutal monsters, and those delusions have brought them to London, far from the life Gwen had finally started to build for herself. Gwen’s only saving grace is that her best friend, Olivia, is with her for the summer. But shortly after their arrival, the girls are kidnapped by shadowy creatures and dragged into a world of flesh-eating sea hags and dangerous Fey. And Gwen begins to realize that maybe her mother isn’t so crazy after all… Gwen discovers that this new world she inhabits is called Neverland, but it’s nothing like the Neverland you’ve heard about in stories. Here, good and evil lose their meaning and memories slip like water through your fingers. As Gwen struggles to remember where she came from and tries to find a way home, she must choose between trusting the charming fairy-tale hero who says all the right things and the captivating pirate who promises to keep her safe. Caught in the ultimate battle between good and evil, with time running out and her enemies closing in, Gwen is forced to finally face the truths she’s been hiding from all along. But can she save Neverland without losing herself?

A Novel

From USA Today bestselling author of The Hating Game Sally Thorne comes something a little unexpected... a historical rom-com that imagines Victor Frankenstein's sheltered younger sister, and her attempts to create the perfect man.

For generations, every Frankenstein has found their true love and equal, unlocking lifetimes of blissful wedded adventure. Clever, pretty (and odd) Angelika Frankenstein has run out of suitors and fears she may become the exception to this family rule. When assisting in her brother Victor's ground-breaking experiment to bring a reassembled man back to life, she realizes that having an agreeable gentleman convalescing in the guest suite might be a chance to let a man get to know the real her. For the first time, Angelika embarks upon a project that is all her own.

When her handsome scientific miracle sits up on the lab table, her hopes for an instant romantic connection are thrown into disarray. Her resurrected beau (named Will for the moment) has total amnesia and is solely focused on uncovering his true identity. Trying to ignore their heart-pounding chemistry, Angelika reluctantly joins the investigation into his past, hoping it will bring them closer. But when a second suitor emerges to aid their quest, Angelika wonders if she was too hasty inventing a solution. Perhaps fate is not something that can be influenced in a laboratory? Or is Will (or whatever his name is!) her dream man, tailored for her in every way? And can he survive what was done to him in the name of science, and love?

Filled with carriages, candlesticks, and corpses, Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match is the spooky-season reimagining of the well-known classic that reminds us to never judge a man by his cadaver!

Helena Hunting

From USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting comes the second installment in the Lakeside series, where a gutsy heroine confronts family secrets and personal struggles in the town of Pearl Lake. Teagan Firestone has always been the dutiful daughter, especially since her mom died. But as her father finally begins to move on, it's her turn to do the same. Her destination: Pearl Lake, a close-knit community with an entrepreneurial spirit and secrets of its own. One of them is Aaron Saunders, who dropped out of college to work construction for Pearl Lake's upper class. He's a mystery and has a playboy reputation--that is, until he meets Teagan. Neither one of them is looking for love, but in a town this small, it's hard not to let your heart get involved. As their romance heats up, Aaron's elusive past comes to light, and Teagan is there for him, bringing them even closer together. But when Teagan is forced to face her own demons, her inability to accept the support of friends and family threatens the life she's worked so hard to build. Can Aaron love her, even when she can't love herself?

Alisha Rai

Alisha Rai, author of The Right Swipe and Girl Gone Viral, returns with a story about finding love in all the wrong inboxes. Makeup expert and influencer Jia Ahmed has her eye on the prize: conquering the internet today, the entire beauty world tomorrow, and finally, finally proving herself to her big opinionated family. She has little time for love, and even less time for the men in her private messages. Until the day a certain international superstar slips into her DMs... Jia quickly falls for Dev Naik's poetic texts. When they're finally in the same place and time, she figures she's simply got to meet the man who's seduced her with his words. One wrinkle: he has no idea who she is. The son of a powerful Bollywood family, Dev is accustomed to stalkers, but a strange woman who accuses him of wooing her online, well, that's a new one. It should be easy to write Jia off...but the words she claims he sent her are a little too familiar. Between the catfishing mystery and an unfortunate photo leak, Dev and Jia quickly find themselves in the same public relations pickle. The solution: some friendly fake dating to help with his fresh start in Hollywood and dazzle her family. It doesn't take long for them to both start wondering, though: can a romance-turned-fauxmance ever turn back into a romance? --Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners

Empty-Nest Doesn't Have to Equal Lonely-nest. Can They Find the Spark Again?

Empty-nest doesn't have to equal lonely-nest. Can they find the spark again? We've reached that point in our relationship. The moment we both dreaded and looked forward to for so long. We are empty nesters. For years our imagination has run wild with all the exciting things we would do after the kids left. But now we're alone, and instead of living our dreams, we're stuck. Stuck in old patterns, old habits, old routines. The excitement waned, lost in the empty spaces our old life left behind. Is this it? Just more of the same and nothing to look forward to. It can't be. We need to reinvent ourselves. Find the spark that dulled over the years, but is still there, waiting to turn into flames again. We have one shot at this. To turn wishes and wants into a real life romance. One last chance to make it work before we too go our separate ways.
