He almost destroyed her once. Now he’s back. And more addictive than ever. Sophie Kingman's life is unraveling. Failing out of massage therapy school and still reeling from her mother's death, she's freaked out by someone leaving random roses on her car. Just when she thinks things can't get any worse, her ex-fiancé shows up looking for absolution. But he did more than break her heart. He crushed her soul. Kyle Ryan, a vet troubled by visions of the soldier who died under his command, had no intention of contacting Sophie Kingman ever again. Until he discovered the truth. His long-held belief that she betrayed him and stole their future had been a carefully constructed lie. Now, with a stalker threatening, he can’t walk away from Sophie. And he doesn’t want to. If she’ll give him a chance, he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to protect her and prove he’s worthy of her love and trust. Despite his efforts though, the madman is circling, leaving Sophie no time to consider a future with Kyle. And unless they find a way to slay the ghosts of their pasts, there may be no future for her at all. A Love Worth Saving is the electrifying second book in the Worth It Romantic Suspense Series. Step into this high-stakes journey of survival and redemption today. When I first met Willem, he swept me off my feet. I was pursued. Adored. But over time, I began to give in to all of Will's desires and demands and lost sight of who I was. Whenever I felt like I could finally break free... he would find a way to reel me back in. That's how I ended up here, in Aruba. With a fiancé who's never around and a lonely, solitary existence filled with cooking meals and keeping house. Meeting Casper was a pleasant surprise. With his brilliant green eyes, tanned skin, and brooding demeanor, I find myself irresistibly drawn into his orbit again and again. Without even trying, he makes me feel seen for the first time in years. Maybe it's the way he corrects my stance on the kite board. Maybe it's the side glances he thinks I don't catch. But the more time I spend with him, the more closed-off he becomes - and the more I want to break through his tough exterior. When Will and I's relationship takes a turn for the worse, Casper helps me escape my prison. But I never expected the secrets that would be exposed... or the danger that's about to come for us both. In over my head, I quickly realize that at least one more time, I will have to submit to someone else's control. A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland. When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks. After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me--her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number. Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion. When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane. Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning. To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up. I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again. Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three. Blake Karr, a twenty-four-year-old single mother of one, has a secret that few people know about—only her, and her three male roommates. Finn Wilder. Brodie Adams. Dante Harris. But is her secret the only one kept within the four walls that they all share, or are they all hiding something behind closed doors? To the rest of the world, Rome Moreno is the Riff King. An icon, a Rock God. When I met him, he mistook me for a stripper and asked me to ride his lap. So consider me unimpressed. I didn’t mean for him to take that as a challenge… There’s no place for a tattooed hunk of trouble like him in the regimented life of a world-class dance princess. My days run on a carefully timed clock – where I go, when I practice, what I eat. I sold my soul to the devil to pay for my dreams, and I’ve accepted it. But one taste of forbidden fruit can do the most destructive things. Especially when I discover Rome's scars go a lot deeper than his tattoo ink. I honestly believed that if they already owned my existence, it meant I had nothing left to lose. I was wrong. We are lords over a savage land. — Gabriel — It’s my senior year at the Asylum. After this, it’s either college or padded walls for life. They say fake it until you make it, and I’ve gotten really good at faking it. Well, I was really good, until she came along. A blonde transfer student with a sharp tongue and a superiority complex makes me want to see her insides. They call me a sociopath, a maniac, unbalanced. But here, I am king. Repent your sins and beg forgiveness, baby girl. Prayers won’t save you from me. — Avery -- I never expected my parents to deliver me to this hellscape. They want this place to cure me, to make me into a good girl, to save me from starvation. An arrogant creep with dead eyes made me his target instead. He’s sick and twisted, and I’m tired of his games. He says he’ll stop if I go with him to the basement, to the place forbidden and kept under lock and key. Everyone knows, though, you don’t go down there and come out alive. Author's Note: Wicked Vile King is a 400+ page, dark academia gothic romance recommended for those 18+.

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby comes an all-new novel, The Setup, in her Single in Seattle series, featuring Keaton Williams! I’m a sucker for pretty things. Give me a roaring engine in a souped-up vintage muscle car with cherry red paint and brand-new leather interior, and that’s about as pretty as anything I could ask for. I’m a simple man, who doesn’t need or want the kind of wild celebrity that my father has. I restore one-of-a-kind vehicles and sell them to the highest bidder. Usually, that bidder just also happens to be a celebrity. But no matter how often my cars steal the spotlight, staying out of it is my number one priority. Which is why Sydney Sterling is absolutely out of the question. She’s a country music superstar. She’s in the spotlight. People can’t get enough of her. It doesn’t matter that our one night together was hotter than a full throttle muscle car, or that she’s the most incredible woman I’ve ever met. I. Need. To. Stay. Away. And I was doing a great job of just that until our friends set us up on a blind date, and now here I am, sitting across from the only woman who made me want more.
