An insightful, delightful new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation. 

One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist they didn't see coming...

Nora Stephens' life is books--she's read them all--and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby.

Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters' trip away--with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she's convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they've met many times and it's never been cute.

If Nora knows she's not an ideal heroine, Charlie knows he's nobody's hero, but as they are thrown together again and again--in a series of coincidences no editor worth their salt would allow--what they discover might just unravel the carefully crafted stories they've written about themselves.

"Emily Henry never fails to deliver ... this may just be her best yet."--Taylor Jenkins Reid

Tessa Bailey

A Novel

Tessa Bailey is back with a Schitt's Creek-inspired rom-com about a Hollywood "It Girl" who's cut off from her wealthy family and exiled to a small Pacific Northwest beach town... where she butts heads with a surly, sexy local who thinks she doesn't belong. Piper Bellinger is fashionable, influential, and her reputation as a wild child means the paparazzi are constantly on her heels. When too much champagne and an out-of-control rooftop party lands Piper in the slammer, her stepfather decides enough is enough. So he cuts her off, and sends Piper and her sister to learn some responsibility running their late father's dive bar... in Washington. Piper hasn't even been in Westport for five minutes when she meets big, bearded sea captain Brendan, who thinks she won't last a week outside of Beverly Hills. So what if Piper can't do math, and the idea of sleeping in a shabby apartment with bunk beds gives her hives. How bad could it really be? She's determined to show her stepfather--and the hot, grumpy local--that she's more than a pretty face. Except it's a small town and everywhere she turns, she bumps into Brendan. The fun-loving socialite and the gruff fisherman are polar opposites, but there's an undeniable attraction simmering between them. Piper doesn't want any distractions, especially feelings for a man who sails off into the sunset for weeks at a time. Yet as she reconnects with her past and begins to feel at home in Westport, Piper starts to wonder if the cold, glamorous life she knew is what she truly wants. LA is calling her name, but Brendan--and this town full of memories--may have already caught her heart.

Carolyn Brown

New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown's bighearted novel about family, secrets, small-town Texas romance, and--with a little bit of luck--starting over. Family doesn't mean everyone has to like each other. That's the case when cousins Taryn, Anna Rose, and Jorja return to Shamrock, Texas, to help manage their grandmother's flower shop, the Lucky Shamrock. The reunion isn't exactly a beautiful arrangement--considering they're as compatible as ranchers and coyotes. Thank heaven for a handsome go-between like Clinton, who lives above the shop. The easygoing war vet, and most eligible bachelor in Wheeler County, is now throwing romance into the mix and setting the local women to gossiping. But as the hot months wear on, hidden secrets begin to surface for the temperamental Irish trio. And it's bringing them closer together than they ever thought possible. With a flurry of weddings, a love story in the making, a surprise baby, and crazy good fortune, maybe that shamrock painted on the window does bring luck. Because for Taryn, Anna Rose, and Jorja, this could be the summer that'll change their lives forever.

I want to submit to the unholy craving between us and worship the young man entrusted to my spiritual care.

Lexie Winston

To my well to do "Catholic" parents, there was one thing that was unforgivable, not murder or theft. No, the worst thing I could ever have done was gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Basically, kidnapped from my life, I was sent to live in London with my eccentric great aunt Jocelyn, all contact with my former life completely cut off, including any communication with my baby's father. Luckily for me, Aunt Jocelyn and her son were like the family I'd always wished mine had been. After an incredibly hard pregnancy, I'd had my beautiful daughter and made the best of my new life. But when Aunt Jocelyn suddenly dies, I'm shocked to find out she left me her run-down house in my old hometown. Encouraged by my cousin to reclaim my life, I apply to college and get accepted so I move back and set about restoring the beautiful old home, and my life, to its former glory. But that meant finally facing my past and discovering all the lies regarding my disappearance. I really don't need the complication of my budding attraction to three different men; the man helping me restore my house, my study partner and none other than my daughter's father who is now a big shot, playing the major hockey league, but fate doesn't care. Apparently, I'm returning to the land of the living, and I'm not going to slink back in with my tail tucked in shame. No, I'm coming back like a wrecking ball, with my head held high and my heart on the line.

Ice Me Out

His presence fills the emptiness in my life, but my sinful nature longs for more. Every inch of him-in my heart, in my body, making me feel whole again. As an overseas missionary who leads lost souls toward salvation, it's imperative I live a godly existence, even in the midst of life-shattering grief. Returning to the States brings about a trial worse than the loss of love, and I'm faced with desire for someone forbidden to me by my church and the word of God. Aaron Weston. My best friend's son who is no longer a gangly teen. He makes me want things no newly widowed man should. His presence fills the emptiness in my life, but my sinful nature longs for more. Every inch of him-in my heart, in my body, making me feel whole again. Giving into the hunger of the flesh will take us down a path of immorality, one that goes against my strive for holiness. I lost my wife from focusing on promised riches in glory. And if I make the same mistake, I fear responsibility for the ruination of another soul.

Unholy Desire

d45d8c96-0a51-4654-97f7-f7423c1549de-0

As an assistant pastor at Simply Grace Church, it's my duty to abstain from the appearance of evil-which includes keeping my sexual orientation to myself, same as I've done with my close-knit family. Yet I knew I was different when at age fourteen, I woke from a dream with the evidence of my desire for him. Aiden McNelis, my older brother's best friend. But he left for the west coast after graduation, and I chose God. Almost sixteen years later, Aiden's return catches me unaware, but even more surprising is how he's changed. He looks at me with more than friendship in his eyes, studies me like he wants to strip me down body and soul. Aiden's curiosity closely mirrors mine, challenging my spirituality with unholy temptation. But giving in to my sinful nature, touching the forbidden, won't just tear apart the life I've built for myself. It will ruin my family as well.
