Things We Never Got Over
Grumpy, small-town barber + hopelessly romantic runaway bride = great big bust ups, all the tension and lots of steamy encounters!
Escaping her seemingly perfect wedding, Naomi Witt arrives in rough-around-the-edges Knockemout, Virginia, running to the rescue of her estranged twin, Tina.
Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn't changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi's car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected: the 11-year-old niece she didn't know she had. Now she's stuck in town with no job, no plan, no home and a whole lot of extra responsibility.
There's a reason local barber Knox doesn't do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi's life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into trouble, he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
At least that's the plan, until their lives begin to entwine in ways they never imagined . . .

If We Were Perfect
A steamy second chance/roommate romance from Ana Huang, the New York Times bestselling author of the Kings of Sin and Twisted series
Two exes, one house. What could go wrong?
Olivia had a plan: MBA, Wall Street VP by thirty-two, marriage and two children (preferably twins because #efficiency).
Not in her plan? Losing half her belongings in an apartment flood and being forced to turn to her ex for help.
Definitely not in her plan? Moving into said ex's house and watching him walk around shirtless, bake her cupcakes, and look at her with those smouldering-
Wait, what was she talking about again?
***
Between his bakery and meddling family, Sammy had enough on his plate without bringing the ex he'd never been able to forget into the mix.
But when Olivia asks for his help, he couldn't say no. He could, however, make her regret breaking his heart - as long as he doesn't do anything foolish, like sneak into her room and kiss her senseless...
As passion slowly replaces their dislike for each other, Sammy and Olivia discover their past isn't what it seems and their future is anything but certain. Can they overcome their pride and give love a second chance, or is history doomed to repeat itself?
This is book four of the If Love series but can be read as a complete standalone.
Recommended for 18+ due to explicit content and adult language.

Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read comes a sparkling new novel that will leave you with the warm, hazy afterglow usually reserved for the best vacations.
Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She's a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart--she's in New York City, and he's in their small hometown--but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.
Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven't spoken since.
Poppy has everything she should want, but she's stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together--lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.
Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?

If We Ever Meet Again
A steamy strangers to friends to lovers romance from Ana Huang, the New York Times bestselling author of the Kings of Sin and Twisted series
One year, two opposites, and a love that will blindside and, ultimately, shatter them.
She's an aspiring interior designer who dreams of falling in love.
He's an ex-football star who thinks love is a con.
She's a virgin, and he doesn't do virgins.
He's cocky, infuriating, and not her type.
She wants the fairytale.
He wants freedom.
Blake and Farrah shouldn't have fallen for each other the way they did: totally, completely, and irrevocably.
Because they're studying abroad in Shanghai, and they only have one year.
Because forces at home threaten to rip them apart, even if they don't know it yet.
And because, eventually, they must face the most heart-breaking lesson they'll ever learn: sometimes, even the greatest love can't conquer all...
This is the first book in a duet. It's a full-length novel with no sudden cliffhangers, but Blake and Farrah's story concludes in book two, If the Sun Never Sets. Recommended for 18+.

Ha tetszett az A Milllion Kisses in Your Lifetime!
Spencer Donato előtt.
A fivérem legjobb barátja előtt.
A piszkos kis titkom előtt.
A Lancaster középiskolában szerettünk egymásba. Bujkáltunk. Nem akartuk, hogy bárki megtudja. Ő volt az első szerelmem, a védelmezőm, a fényes páncélú lovagom. Az isten is egymásnak teremtett minket. Őszintén hittem, hogy örökre az enyém lesz.
De aztán megtettem az elképzelhetetlent, és a lehető legszörnyűbb árulást követtem el ellene. Azt hittem, örökre elvesztettem...
Amíg meg nem láttam a bátyám esküvőjén. Idősebb lett. Kegyetlenebb. Elviselhetetlenül gyönyörű. Még mindig vonzódunk egymáshoz, de vajon Spencer mellettem áll-e, amikor a legnagyobb szükségem lesz rá? Vagy ismét tönkretettem a kapcsolatunkat?
