To succeed, she must craft an image of allure and innocence, captivating the gentlemen who will bid for her. For guidance, she turns to Thomas, the rakish Earl of Radbourne, whose infamous seduction skills are unmatched.
Agatha’s only goal is to save her family—not to fall in love—but as the auction draws near, she finds herself drawn to the dangerous allure of the one man who has vowed never to marry. With her heart on the line and heartbreak seemingly inevitable, Agatha must resist the man she was never meant to love.
Forever Wild by Rebecca Jenshak
The annoyingly handsome hockey captain glaring at me needs my help.
He won’t admit that, of course. But with his teammate’s gone for the summer and him fresh off a season-ending injury, someone has to keep him in check and it’s not the nurses he keeps running off.
I’m having one last summer of fun before I move away to start my first grown-up job, and I seem to be the only woman on the planet immune to his charm. Sure, I’ve noticed his chiseled jaw and sculpted muscles (Did I mention he’s annoyingly handsome?), but I have too much self-preservation to fall for a grumpy hockey star who can have any woman he wants and doesn’t do serious relationships.
Except once he lets me help him, I see past his broody exterior and jerk comments and I realize something terrible. I want him.
Now I just need to convince him to throw out all his rules for a fling with his teammate’s little sister.
My Darling Jane by Ilsa Madden- Mills
On an ordinary day, Jane Darling wouldn’t be caught dead in a sports bar wearing a toga with angel wings. But she’s desperate to launch her matchmaking business to secure her young daughter’s future. Her mission: to attract new clients at any cost.
Her cupid outfit catches the eye of New York’s beloved star quarterback, Jasper Jannich. She and Jasper have always clashed, but when a pushy admirer goes too far, he steps in as an unexpected knight in shining armor.
He offers a tantalizing proposal: to be Cupid’s Arrow’s premier client. Reluctantly, Jane agrees, aware of the business potential despite her reservations about Jasper and his playboy reputation.
As she sets him up on date after date, it grows clear that Jane’s the only woman he wants.
She is his goal, his endgame.
She’s not not interested…but her heart has been burned before. To get anywhere, they’ll need courage and faith, not just sizzling chemistry.
He’s ready to make the pass. Is his darling ready to catch it?
The Great and Terrible by Gena Showalter
When twenty-year-old college dropout Moriah Shaker runs into an empty chapel to escape an unexpected storm, she’s catapulted into another world Wizard of Oz style. Unfortunately, she winds up in the treacherous realm of Hakeldama, a fantastical but brutal land where justice is twisted and innocents pay for crimes committed by the elites—and she’s now marked for death.
On the run and determined to get home, Moriah heads for the City of Lux, where a rumored portal between worlds exists. At her side are the most unlikely of companions. A scrappy hustler, a cranky ex-mayor, and a growing beast-dog. But the one who fascinates her most is Jasher, a heartless executioner who hides a terrible secret. Together, they’ll battle bounty hunters, lethal poppies, and winged monsters. Though Moriah doesn’t yet know it, there’s nothing more dangerous than their forbidden attraction.
So Rare by Abbi Millsaps
No more running.
It’s a promise I’m making to myself. It’s also the vow I’ve given to each of the four men who came together in my darkest time of need.
Even when I was taken against my will and trapped in the confines of my own mind, unable to access my memories, they never gave up on me.
When I see the way they look at me—and in some cases, the way they look at each other—I know that what we have is rare. Ours is a love worth fighting for. A love worth staying for. And that’s exactly what I intend to do.
I choose them:
Greedy—my first love and deepest heartbreak.
Levi—my not-so-fake boyfriend and personal ray of sunshine.
Spence—my dominating, steadfast lover.
Sione—my soul match and saving grace.
I choose them. All of them, in every way they’re willing to have me.
It’s a dream come true to have them all together, gathered under one roof. But dreams don’t always keep. Especially not when a narcissist parent is involved.
There’s nothing my mother won’t do to get her way. Thankfully, Spence has a plan, and for the first time, every member of our group is on board.
Magnolia St. Clair is a worthy opponent, but she’s no match for the British billionaire who will stop at nothing to protect what’s his.
No more running.
It’s time to stay and fight, and to reclaim the happily ever after we all deserve.
So Rare is the third book in the Boys of South Chapel series. A full list of tropes and triggers can be found on the author’s website.

Meet Me at Midnight by Max Monroe
How good are you at keeping a secret?
Because I, Juniper Perry, have been keeping a big one.
For over a decade, I’ve been crushing on the guy with the easy smile, warm brown eyes, and charismatic charm. He’s all the perfect things that, when you add them up, spell out Man of my dreams.
I know that doesn’t sound bad at all, but there’s more to this story…
We work together. I’m a lowly intern, and he’s a high-powered executive.
He’s my newest neighbor. No joke—he’s temporarily living next door to me.
And to top it all off, he’s my best friend’s older brother.
I’ve spent what feels like an eternity keeping my crush on him a secret, but recently, I’ve found a way to have him and my anonymity too. A way to chat and flirt and get close to him.
My best friend doesn’t know about these Midnight chats.
And he doesn’t know I’m the girl he’s talking to night after night.
Beau Banks might be completely off-limits, but what happens at Midnight stays between us…
Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage
Teddy Andersen doesn’t have a plan. She’s never needed one before. She’s always been more of a go-with-the-flow type of girl, but for some reason, the flow doesn’t seem to be going her way this time.
Her favorite vintage suede jacket has a hole in it, her sewing machine is broken, and her best friend just got engaged. Suddenly, everything feels like it’s starting to change. Teddy is used to being a leader, but now she feels like she’s getting left behind, wondering if life in the small town she loves is enough for her anymore.
Gus Ryder has a lot on his plate. He doesn’t know what’s harder: taking care of his family’s 8,000 acre ranch, or parenting his spunky six-year-old daughter, who is staying with him for the summer. Gus has always been the dependable one, but when his workload starts to overwhelm him, he has to admit that he can’t manage everything on his own. He needs help.
His little sister’s best friend, the woman he can’t stand, is not who he had in mind. But when no one else can step in, Teddy’s the only option he’s got. Teddy decides to use the summer to try and figure out what she wants out of life. Gus, on the other hand, starts to worry that he’ll never find what he needs.
Tempers flare, tension builds, and for the first time ever, Gus and Teddy start to see each other in a different light. As new feelings start to simmer below the surface, they must decide whether they should act on them. Can they keep things cool? Or will both of them get burned?
Hexed by Emily McIntire
From USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairytale of The Little Mermaid.
Venesa Andersen has never been good. She wasn’t good enough for her parents, and she isn’t good enough for the gangster uncle who took her in after they died. But she’s cunning. Beautiful. Dutiful to her uncle’s demands. And she doesn’t have time for a moral compass, anyway. When her runaway cousin returns to their coastal southern town, she brings a man with her…and Venesa soon realizes he’s the only one who’s ever seen her for her.
There’s just one problem: she can never have him.
Enzo “Loverboy” Marino is a wealthy businessman by day and prince of the underworld by night. Underboss to a notorious mafia syndicate, he answers to no one except his father, the strongest don in the Northeast. When he’s tasked with marriage, Enzo doesn’t think twice.
Until he meets his fiancée’s cousin.
Venesa is everything he never knew he wanted, bewitching him with her sultry voice and supple curves. But Enzo learned long ago that for a man like him, life is better without the things you want.
When plans unravel and temptation sings its siren song, they’ll both have to choose what’s more important: duty to their families, or a forbidden love that was never supposed to be.

A Navy SEAL who moved across the country to risk his life every day—Flag number two.
My new step-brother—Flag number three, four, and five.

It also only takes one day to shatter it all…
