Before Jamaica Lane
by Samantha Young
Despite her outgoing demeanor, Olivia is painfully insecure around the opposite sex—usually, she can’t get up the nerve to approach guys she’s interested in. But moving to Edinburgh has given her a new start, and, after she develops a crush on a sexy postgrad, she decides it’s time to push past her fears and go after what she wants.
Nate Sawyer is a gorgeous player who never commits, but to his close friends, he’s as loyal as they come. So when Olivia turns to him with her relationship woes, he offers to instruct her in the art of flirting and to help her become more sexually confident.
The friendly education in seduction soon grows into an intense and hot romance. But then Nate’s past and commitment issues rear their ugly heads, and Olivia is left broken-hearted. When Nate realizes he’s made the biggest mistake of his life, he will have to work harder than he ever has before to entice his best friend into falling back in love with him—or he may lose her forever...
Wide Open
by Shelly Crane
Milo is trouble.
He lives it,
breathes it. He embraces anything that numbs and takes his mind somewhere else,
a world where his mother is herself and not just a shell, and his brother didn't
almost kill her, severing any relationship they had. But more importantly, Milo
drowns out the guilt for leaving his mother and not being able to forgive his
brother. He drowns his pride and moves on to another girl and another party,
pretending that life isn't moving on around him and he's stuck in the same
place. He's stuck in the past and doesn't know how to let go.
Maya is
trouble.
She's done the party scene and has had her fair share of close
calls and handcuffs. Not the kinky kind. She's so over it all and fought like
hell for that life to let go so she could move on. She now works as a teen
counselor. Her life is better, but her life is empty. She has no one but her
brother in the whole world left and he's sick with a disease that no medicine
can cure.
Lucky Number Four
by Amanda Jason
Pandora Ann Phillips' life is just
normal-crazy
Her mom's a psychic, her dad's mom is a snob, her mom's
parental units are "too down to earth" and her best friends are newlyweds. Okay,
so her best friends being newlyweds isn't really abnormal, but living with them
in a cramped two-bedroom apartment definitely is. Sex, sex, sex is totally on
their minds. Actually it's not only on their minds, but it's on the kitchen
table, couch, on top of the washer...well, you get the picture.
Being a
celibate (not by choice, mind you) full-time college student, and an almost
full-time barista, Pandora can't afford to lose anymore sleep. So, she seeks out
a new place to lay her head. Enter three "drool worthy" male models that are
looking for a fourth roommate and they want her...and won't take no for an
answer.
Hilarity ensues as Pandora's life turns completely upside down,
and she begins to wonder if it will ever be the same again!
Come to Me Quietly
by A.L. Jackson
Aleena Moore is content with her life. She
has goals and dreams and an easy smile. She also has a secret she holds locked
inside.
Jared Holt believes he doesn’t deserve to love or be loved. He destroys everything he touches. Haunted by the mistake that shattered his life, he’s fled from the memory of that pain.
Jared doesn’t know why he’s compelled to return, but finds himself drawn back to the place where it all began. The exact place where it ended. When he runs into his childhood best friend, Aleena’s older brother Christopher, he agrees to share Christopher and Aleena’s apartment while he looks for a place of his own.
Aleena is no longer the little girl Jared remembers from his past and evokes feelings in him he never wanted to feel again. Terrified of destroying her, he fights to keep her away. But her touch is something he can’t resist—the touch that sealed his fate.
Their pasts are intertwined and their futures uncertain. The only truths they know are the secrets they whisper in the night.

A Breath of Frost
by Alexandra Harvey
In 1814, three cousins-Gretchen, Emma, and
Penelope-discover their unknown family lineage of witchcraft. Beyond the
familiar manicured gardens and ballrooms of Regency London, a dangerous,
alluring new underworld visible only to those with power is now open to the
cousins.
But unbeknownst to them, by claiming their power, the three cousins have inadvertently opened the gates to the Underworld.
Now the dead, ghouls, hellhounds-and the most terrifying of all: the spirits of dark witches known as the Greymalkin Sisters-are hunting and killing young debutante witches for their powers.
And, somehow, Emma is connected to the murders...because she keeps finding the bodies.
Can the cousins unravel the clues and mystery behind their heritage and power before their gifts are stripped away ...or even worse, another witch is killed?

Rome
by Jay Crownover
Sometimes the wrong choice can be just
right . . .
Fun and fearless, Cora Lewis knows how to keep her tattooed "bad boy" friends at the Marked in line. But beneath all that flash and sass is a broken heart. Cora won't let herself get burned again. She's waiting to fall in love with the perfect man—a baggage-free, drama-free guy ready for commitment. Then she meets Rome Archer.
Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. He's stubborn, rigid, and bossy. And he's returned from his final tour of duty more than a little broken. Rome's used to filling many roles: big brother, doting son, supersoldier—but none of those fit anymore. Now he's just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the dark demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer through it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes a blinding flash of color in a sea of gray.Perfect may not be in the cards, but perfectly imperfect could just last forever . . .

Being Sloane Jacobs
by Lauren Morrill
Meet Sloane Emily Jacobs: a seriously
stressed-out figure-skater from Washington, D.C., who choked during junior
nationals and isn’t sure she’s ready for a comeback. What she does know is that
she’d give anything to escape the mass of misery that is her life.
Now meet Sloane Devon Jacobs, a spunky ice hockey player from Philly who’s been suspended from her team for too many aggressive hip checks. Her punishment? Hockey camp, now, when she’s playing the worst she’s ever played. If she messes up? Her life will be over.
When the two Sloanes meet by chance in Montreal and decide to trade places for the summer, each girl thinks she’s the lucky one: no strangers to judge or laugh at Sloane Emily, no scouts expecting Sloane Devon to be a hero. But it didn’t occur to Sloane E. that while avoiding sequins and axels she might meet a hockey hottie—and Sloane D. never expected to run into a familiar (and very good-looking) face from home. It’s not long before the Sloanes discover that convincing people you’re someone else might be more difficult than being yourself.

Passionaries

Sebastian sacrificed himself for what he believed in. Will the girls trust that
their destiny as saints and martyrs and perform the miracles as Sebastian
instructed? Or lose faith in themselves and each other in his absence? Time is
running out for them to make a decision, and the fate of the world lies in the
balance.
No One Else Can Have You
by Kathleen Hale
Small towns are nothing if not friendly.
Friendship, Wisconsin (population: 688) is no different. Around here, everyone
wears a smile. And no one ever locks their doors. Until, that is, high school
sweetheart Ruth Fried is found murdered. Strung up like a scarecrow in the
middle of a cornfield.
Unfortunately, Friendship’s police are more adept at looking for lost pets than catching killers. So Ruth’s best friend, Kippy Bushman, armed with only her tenacious Midwestern spirit and Ruth’s secret diary (which Ruth’s mother had asked her to read in order to redact any, you know, sex parts), sets out to find the murderer. But in a quiet town like Friendship—where no one is a suspect—anyone could be the killer.
