How do you know if a risk is worth taking?

If you knew, there wouldn't be any risk. Following a disastrous appearance on a televised baking show, Sophie Copeland is certain things can't get any worse. Several calamities later, Sophie finds herself in Green Valley, Tennessee with no plan, no place to stay, and no prospects. But at least she has a temporary seasonal arrangement with the famed Donner Bakery. And that's something, right?

It's not permanent, and it's not a home, but it's still something.

Enter Joel Barnes, a Green Valley mystery, wrapped in rumors, and a whispered connection to the local notorious biker gang. Joel's got a name for being bad news, but he also has an apartment for rent.

Intrigued by the dichotomy of Joel's reputation and sexy southern pull, Sophie can't help but be tempted, even though she knows--given her (bad) luck--she should stay far, far away. . .

Yet as everyone knows, without risk, there's no reward.

'No Whisk, No Reward' is a full-length contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book#3 in the Donner Bakery series, Green Valley World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Kristen Granata

Book 2 in The Collision Series is a continuation of Collision. After the shocking cliffhanger at the end of "Collision," Merritt Adams is now faced with emotions that she had buried deep inside of herself for almost a decade. While the love of her life is busy fulfilling his dreams, Merritt is left to her own devices. Searching for solace in all the wrong places, her avoidant behaviors spiral out of control. If she doesn't learn how to take responsibility for her actions, she could end up on rock bottom - alone. T.J. Cutler is an MMA fighter who knows all too well what happens when one tries to run away from his problems. He may be the only person who can get through to Merritt, having lived through his own nightmarish childhood. T.J. can teach Merritt how to fight against her demons, but she needs to prove that she is committed to following his rules. Life is full of choices, and Merritt needs to start making the right ones. It could mean the difference between life and death. REVIEW"Hands down, one of my favorites this year. Kristen Granata, your storytelling is fuel. It's fire.

Book 1 in The Collision Series is an emotional, slow burn, New Adult romance. After losing both of her parents, Merritt Adams was forced to grow up at a young age. Now a bitter and jaded adult, she's convinced that the only person she can count on is herself. When she's injured in a fiery crash, Merritt has to learn how to accept help from her friends. But she isn't prepared for support from the popular musician she used to go to school with. Chase Brooks spent the last two years in California aspiring to become a rock star, but his dream is cut short when he receives word about his sick father. He returns home to be with his family, and ends up seeking solace in the one girl who knows what it's like to lose everything. Merritt fights her attraction to Chase every step of the way, refusing to let him in. But beneath his cocky charm and good looks, she finds a caring man who's hurting just as badly as she is. As they grow closer, the wall Merritt built around her heart begins to crumble. What Merritt doesn't know is that Chase holds the truth about who saved her from her mangled car the night of the accident - and it could destroy the trust he's worked so hard for.

Book 4 in The Collision Series is an emotional standalone romance about finding hope after loss. TJ Cutler's life has been anything but easy. Looking at him now, no one would guess that the successful MMA fighter and business owner was once a homeless drug addict who witnessed his father brutally murder his mother when he was just a child. But TJ knows how harsh reality can be for some, and he dedicates his life to helping those who are struggling like he once did. Carla Evans thought that her life was perfect until everything fell apart. Determined to start over, she moves to a new town ready to check items off of her bucket list. She didn't plan for a steamy one-night stand with a muscular, tattooed fighter. She also didn't know that he'd end up being the boss at her new job a week later. She tries to keep things professional, but they're unable to resist their attraction to each other. Carla is the uptight, buttoned-up contrast to TJ's fearless and outgoing nature. He shows her how to live outside the box she constructed for herself, and pushes her past her comfort zone. But Carla soon realizes that TJ is the one in need of help - and love. Can Carla break through the walls of TJ's damaged past, or are his wounds too deep to be healed? This book contains some graphic scenes and sensitive subject matter. REVIEW "I devoured this book in hours. TJ, what can I say? You had me at the one tattooed butt cheek. Beautifully told & heartbreaking at the same time." -- Nikki J Summers, Author "This story made me feel everything. It consumed me. TJ and his demons, Carla and her struggles. Two characters that are totally right for one another. Kristen has a way with words and this book is written so beautifully." -- Lindsey Powell, Author "Fantastically Heavy Read! Wow! What an emotional ride Kristen Granata takes her readers on. From the blurb, I thought it was going to be pretty cut and dry, bad ass guy and stuck up girl getting together. However, this was so much more". -- Tiffany Readz "Kristen's writing continues to get better with every story. She is never afraid to write about real topics and loves making her readers go through a thousand emotions while reading her stories." -- Dorthy, GoodReads Reviewer

Taleen Voskuni

Light Paperback (1 lb or less)

An Armenian-American woman rediscovers her roots and embraces who she really is in this vibrant and heartfelt queer rom-com by debut author Taleen Voskuni.
 
When Nareh Bedrossian's non-Armenian boyfriend gets down on one knee and proposes to her in front of a room full of drunk San Francisco tech boys, she realizes it's time to find someone who shares her idea of romance.
 
Enter her mother: armed with plenty of mom-guilt and a spreadsheet of Facebook-stalked Armenian men, she convinces Nar to attend Explore Armenia, a month-long series of events in the city. But it's not the mom-approved playboy doctor or the wealthy engineer who catch Nar's eye--it's Erebuni, a woman as immersed in the witchy arts as she is in preserving Armenian identity. Suddenly, with Erebuni as her wingwoman, the events feel like far less of a chore, and much more of an adventure. Who knew cooking up kuftes together could be so . . . sexy?
 
Erebuni helps Nar see the beauty of their shared culture and makes her feel understood in a way she never has before. But there's one teeny problem: Nar's not exactly out as bisexual. The clock is ticking on her double life--the Explore Armenia closing banquet is coming up, and her entire extended family will be there, along with Erebuni. Her worlds will inevitably collide, but Nar is determined to be brave and to claim her happiness: proudly Armenian, proudly bisexual, and proudly herself for the first time in her life.

New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels returns to Willow Creek Valley in this stunning surprise baby/unrequited love romance.




I was totally over Joshua Parkerson.




Sure, I had a teenage crush on him way back when-and everyone knew it-but he never saw me as anything but his little brother's friend, the girl who got tongue-tied any time he walked into a room.




I had long ago accepted the fact that his strong arms would never hold me, his lush lips would never claim mine, and his blue eyes would never see me as anything more than who I used to be.




But now he's back in Willow Creek Valley, and there's a brand-new spark between us-even he can't fight it. Our chemistry is explosive, and every time we're together, I swear I can feel the earth shake.




It doesn't mean anything... how could it? I'm over him.




Until I see that little pink plus sign, and the earth stops turning completely.




Now I want it all again, a life with him. But Joshua built walls around his heart for a reason, and his secrets haunt him.




How can I show him that the ghosts of his past don't have to define our new family's future?

Meg Cabot

Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries, returns to Little Bridge Island with a new story about a children's book author with a case of writer's block and an arrogant novelist who have to set aside their differences as they get through a weekend long book festival that just might change everything--including their feelings for each other. Don't Judge a Book by Its Author... Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida Keys. Jo Wright always swore she'd never step foot on Little Bridge Island--not as long as her nemesis, bestselling author Will Price, is living there. Then Jo's given an offer she can't refuse: an all-expense paid trip to speak and sign at the island's first ever book festival. Even though arrogant Will is the last person Jo wants to see, she could really use the festival's more-than-generous speaking fee. She's suffering from a crippling case of writer's block on the next installment of her bestselling children's series, and her father needs financial help as well. Then Jo hears that Will is off-island on the set of the film of his next book. Hallelujah! But when she arrives on Little Bridge, Jo is in for a shock: Will is not only at the book festival, but seems genuinely sorry for his past actions--and more than willing not only to make amends, but prove to Jo that he's a changed man. Things seem to be looking up--until disaster strikes, causing Jo to wonder: Do any of us ever really know anyone?

"Brinkley Saunders has a secret. To everyone in the academic world she left behind, she lost it all when she dropped out of grad school. Once a rising star following in her mother's footsteps, she's now an administrative assistant at an insurance agency--or so they think. In reality, Brinkley works at Heartbreak for Hire, a secret service that specializes in revenge for jilted lovers, frenemies, and long-suffering coworkers with a little cash to spare and a man who needs to be taken down a notch. It might not be as prestigious as academia, but it helps Brinkley save for her dream of opening an art gallery and lets her exorcise a few demons, all while helping to empower women. But when her boss announces she's hiring male heartbreakers for the first time, Brinkley's no longer so sure she's doing the right thing--especially when her new coworker turns out to be a target she was paid to take down. Though Mark spends his days struggling up the academic ladder, he seems to be the opposite of a backstabbing adjunct: a nerd at heart in criminally sexy sweater vests who's attentive both in and out of the bedroom. But as Brinkley finds it increasingly more difficult to focus on anything but Mark, she soon realizes that like herself, people aren't always who they appear to be"--
