My heart is in his hands, and he doesn’t even know it. Adrian Elias Olsen crashed into my world like a wrecking ball—adventurous, carefree, and impossible to resist. He gave me a home, a family, and a place to belong. Somewhere along the way, I gave him my heart... And now it’s too late to take it back. I crave, and I yearn, and I ache, and I want. Always. All the time. And he doesn’t have a clue. I promised myself I’d get over him. The trip we take together is supposed to be the end—the last time he’s mine before I finally let him go. But when paradise unexpectedly turns into purgatory, we’re forced to only rely on each other. Suddenly, every glance lingers. Every touch burns. And the pull between us only grows stronger—dangerously so. Because no matter how much I want him, I can’t have him. In the real world, Adrian’s heart isn’t mine to keep. In the real world, it already belongs to someone else.
Milà n: When I return home after years of avoiding the place, the last thing I expect is to inherit a little brother. After a chaotic childhood, I’ve built my life around one simple rule: never get tied down. I’m not father material, and raising a thirteen-year-old with a chip on his shoulder and a talent for pushing every one of my buttons sounds like a special kind of hell. Overnight, my life turns into one long tension headache, and I’m barely keeping it together when an incident at school lands Rory and me squarely in the orbit of Jordan and his son, Theo. Jordan is everything I’m not. Calm. Collected. Completely in control. The kind of father people look at with barely hidden envy. Spending time with him isn’t part of the plan. Neither is watching my life slowly start to fall into place. Bit by bit, I build something resembling a relationship with my brother. Bit by bit, life becomes… better. And bit by bit, the friendship between Jordan and me grows into something deeper. The kind of feelings that might just be impossible to ignore. It’s a bad idea from the start. I’ve spent my whole life running the moment things start to get complicated. Jordan knows exactly what it feels like to be left behind. Getting close to him might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Or the worst mistake we could make. Because sooner or later we have to decide if we’re brave enough to fight for each other…

Everybody knows Joshua Van De Bogart and Gabriel GarcÃa don't get along. Haven't since the day they met in middle school and inadvertently started a rivalry to rival all rivalries. Fast forward a decade, and their feud is still going strong. When an opportunity arises to score some extra points at work they both leap at the chance. Now they're decorating the office for the annual Christmas party. What could go wrong? Nothing. Except for a small Christmas lights related incident, which results in them somehow switching bodies. With no idea how to switch back, they now have to pretend to be each other during the holidays. But while they're busy pretending they start to see a whole different side of one another. Maybe they're not so different after all? Maybe they don't actually hate each other? Maybe... Maybe they're the perfect match?
THE CHRISTMAS SWITCH
JUST FOREVER
It's been two years. Two years of Ryker. Two years of being married to my best friend. Two years of taking chances. Making plans. Building a life together. Following my heart. Two years of trust. Two years of love. Two years of us. And now we’re in New York. Me in med school, and Ryker in the NHL. It’s going great so far. I wouldn’t change a thing. Maybe… Maybe just the hiding. Because hiding sucks. It’s okay, though. I can handle anything as long as I have Ryker. Even if keeping us a secret makes me overly cautious. Slightly paranoid. More than a little distrustful. A ticking time bomb of tension. I can handle it. I have to. Because losing Ryker is not an option, and I will do whatever it takes to keep him.

Wren: These days I’m a keeper: I keep to myself, keep busy, and keep my head down. Until him. Sutton Holland. Annoying, arrogant, spoiled man-child extraordinaire. And he’s not even trying to hide any of it. He says he’s shallow. That he’s blunt to the point of offensive. That I shouldn’t like him. So I don’t. At first. But then I accidentally get to know him. And the more I see, the more I start to suspect that maybe he’s not so arrogant, spoiled, and shallow after all. That maybe he’s just a really good liar. And that maybe—maybe—he’s everything I never knew I was looking for.
MAYBE YOU
UNTIL JUDE
An Until You retelling from Blake's point of view. This book is free for all newsletter subscribers and won't be sold anywhere. Coming in early September.
​
Lake: So... I’m getting married. Just three minor details: my husband-to-be is technically also my step-brother, he’s straight, and we’re absolutely nowhere in the vicinity of being in love. Ryker: Only then comes the you-may-kiss-your-husband part. Turns out kissing your husband is a terrible idea because it makes you have strange thoughts you’ve never had before. Turns out that kissing my husband makes me question everything I know about myself. Lake: It's fine. It doesn't have to mean anything. Just a blip on the radar. I'll leave it be. But then I find out I’m not the only one who’s having ideas because of that kiss. And we do something incredibly stupid and give in to temptation. Ryker: Again. And again. And again. Lake: Until something casual and temporary turns into something very different. Something unexpected. Something serious. Something terrifyingly real. Ryker: Now I'm determined to show Lake how good the two of us could be together. Because with him? Just a taste will never be enough.
JUST A TASTE
AND THEN YOU

Here’s the thing: I am not—I repeat not—boyfriend material. I’m a good time for one night, and that’s it. Figures I manage to get myself into a situation where I have to pretend to be in a relationship. Ah, well. Not much else to do now than suck it up and get it over with. I’m in. I’m out. I’m done. But then Quinn says he’s curious. He says I’m a liar. He says he wants to see the real me. Honestly, I can’t run away fast enough after that. Because he doesn’t know. Doesn’t know that I’m a landmine. That he ’s trudging so close. That he’s about to step on me. And then? I’ll ruin him.

THE INCONVENIENT LOVE
Max: He's funny, smart, dorky... and all grown up. Isac. My best friend's little brother. He kissed me when he was nineteen and told me he was in love with me. I shut him down, telling him he was too young and didn't know what he was saying. That damn kiss is coming back to haunt me now. The softness of his lips and the hopeful look in his eyes—I remember it all too clearly, and it's getting almost impossible to tell myself I don't want a repeat of that kiss... Isac: You can only make a complete ass of yourself in front of a guy so many times. Luckily for me, I'm not the same pathetic, starry-eyed kid anymore. Max and I are better off as friends. Now, if only I could figure out why he's looking at me so intently. And why he kissed me. And why we're suddenly doing all sorts of other things friends don't generally do.
THE UNDERDOG
Anders: There once was a guy who told a little white lie. That didn’t turn out so well. I would know. I’m the guy. Once upon a time, I told my brother and sister that I wanted to do a triathlon. I never expected them to sign me up for one! Now I’m forced to deal with my very cantankerous personal trainer. Wells Montgomery is an angry, rude, judgmental bastard. Frankly, I’m surprised the chip on his shoulder hasn’t crushed him yet. But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize that the anger is just a façade that conceals a man who is more than a little lost. The more time I spend with him, the more I start to think that maybe somebody should find him. The more time I spend with him, the more I start to think that maybe, just maybe, that person could be me. Wells: There once was a guy who flew unimaginably high. That didn’t turn out so well. I would know. I’m the guy. A year ago, I was on top of the world. It only took a handful of seconds for my life to irreversibly change course. Needless to say, I’m not happy. Nor am I happy when my dad and one of my so-called friends trick me into becoming a personal trainer for some guy who wants to do a triathlon. Now I need to get this Anders Kelly to fire me. It’s a good plan, if only Anders wasn’t so unbelievably stubborn. And too nice for his own good. Irritatingly fun. Annoyingly kind. His faults just keep piling up. But the more time I spend with him, the harder it becomes to keep my distance. The more time I spend with him, the more I start to see the possibilities life still offers. The more time I spend with him, the more I start to think that maybe, just maybe, Anders isn’t an unattainable dream after all.
THE DATING EXPERIMENT
Jamie: Three years ago, I sold my soul to the devil. Also known as my boss. Same thing. Here’s the deal. Connor Quinn is arrogant, impossible to please, cold as ice, and prone to find flaws in everything. Since that fatal day three years ago, many a murder plan have been made and many a weapon considered. Until… I accidentally get to know him better, which is unfortunate, since it turns out that underneath Connor’s icy exterior, there’s a man shaped by past hurts and difficult life lessons. Which means I’m in a bit of a pickle since it also turns out I might kind of like the bastard… Connor: For as long as I can remember, I’ve chased calm. I’m the exact opposite of an adrenaline junkie with my pursuit of peace and quiet. My rules are simple. I don’t make terrible decisions. I don’t make mistakes. And I don’t do chaos. Until Jamie. He’s an anomaly. A glitch in the system. Unpredictable. Distracting. Confusing. But now I’ve accidentally gotten to know him better, and it turns out he’s also warm. And funny. And interesting. And with him, the world gets just a tiny bit quieter. And I fit just a tiny bit better.
THE HAPPY LIST
Gray: There are some things I excel at: - Exercising rigid control over every aspect of my life - Making sensible decisions at every turn - Being organized, predictable and responsible to an abnormal degree. In short, I’m boring as hell and in desperate need of a change. Luckily I have my best friend by my side and a newly written to-do list to guide my way through the murky waters of finding happiness. It’s all very promising at first, but as weeks pass, I start to realize that the best part of my day has always been Kai. And when I see him out on a date with some guy? Let’s just say I’m definitely not happy about it. Kai: I’m back in Boston after ten years of traveling, and I’ve fulfilled all my goals: - See the world - Figure out what to do with my life - Get over my impossible crush on Gray. Check, check and check. Life’s good until I accidentally find Gray’s happy list, which contains some very interesting things that friends never ever do with each other. And as weeks pass, it becomes clear those not-so-innocent parts are the ones Gray is determined to explore with me. In short, I’m screwed because no matter how hard I try, I can’t resist him, and pretty soon I'm forced to admit that I’m not as done with my crush as I thought I was...
INEVITABLE
The three of us were never impossible. We were always inevitable. When Drew meets Ezra, he doesn’t expect much. A one-night stand and a quick goodbye in the morning. That’s how these things usually go. Only there’s nothing usual about Ezra and the connection that forms between them. When Ezra meets Drew, he doesn’t expect much. A distraction and parting as strangers after a night of meaningless fun. That’s how these things usually go. Only there’s nothing meaningless about Drew and the relentless spark between them that just refuses to disappear. When Bas meets Ezra… things get complicated. As if being hopelessly in love with his best friend isn't painful enough. Throw in an unexpected friendship that develops with the one-time hookup of said best friend, and the results are messy at best. But sometimes beautiful things emerge from messy and complicated beginnings, and where two isn't enough, three might be just perfect.

Being shipped off to middle-of-nowhere, Oregon, is not Alex’s idea of the perfect summer vacation. What Alex never expects is to meet Noah Price. He never expects to be noticed and understood. He never expects to feel valued and special. He never expects to fall in love. Everything is not what it seems, though, and love that feels invincible turns out to be anything but. But love finds a way, and when Alex and Noah unexpectedly cross paths years later, they will have to risk it all for the love they both deserve and so desperately need.
