When my ex-husband leaves me for the co-star in his movie, moving back to Ember Falls feels like my only option. Everett Finnegan, my first love and the man I’ve never forgotten, is ready to welcome me with open arms…and an open bed.
But when I find out I’m pregnant with my ex’s baby, my entire world is upended.
My ex doesn’t want the baby, but I plan to rebuild my life as a single mother and figure out how to handle all of this alone. Except that I don’t seem to be alone – Everett always shows up for me.
I don’t expect him to get mixed up in all my drama – not when he has his own. And I wish he would listen to me when I say we have to stop whatever it is we’re doing. But he wants me, the baby, and my heart.
So when I’m forced to return to California sooner than planned, I’m devastated. Everett can’t leave Ember Falls, and I can’t stay. Saying goodbye to him the first time was hard enough. This time, it just might break me.

The Hearth Witchs Guide to Magic & Murder - The Hemlock Saga 1
The first in a brand-new cosy fantasy series from Kiri Callaghan, with an enchanting paranormal twist and a magical murder mystery to solve.
***
Worlds collide when changeling Avery Hemlock and human Saga Trygg team up to solve magical murders in London.
When a rise in London's supernatural crime puts Fey society at risk of discovery, the Winter Council turns to an unlikely solution: Avery Hemlock, the changeling they sentenced to 500 Years of Nightmares. Inherently lacking social grace and missing approximately two centuries of world knowledge, Avery must find a way to acclimate and solve the case or lose her probationary freedom.
After being left at the altar and dropping out of medical school, Saga Trygg attempts to rekindle her faith in life, humanity, and witchcraft. But when her new neighbour, Avery, accidentally reveals the Fey that have been living among humanity all along, Saga realises magic is far more than prayers, intention, and candles.
Each faced with navigating an unfamiliar world, the two form an unexpected partnership – but shortly into Avery's investigation, they discover the threat might be closer to Saga than either of them imagined, and Avery will do anything to protect the first friend she's had in more than two hundred years.
This deluxe edition of book one in an enchanting new series contains rich bonus features, including gorgeous interior art and beautiful sprayed edges, that will delight collectors and fans of cosy books.

Bitter Burn
The third and final book in the steamy Lyonesse trilogy from the USA Today bestselling author of the Priest, New Camelot and Thornchapel series - a contemporary romance retelling of the legend of Tristan and Isolde.
***
I think it's important that you know this about me, that you understand this: I'm not sorry. I'd do it again.
After Mark Trevena's husband died eight years ago, he made vengeance his only purpose, his religion, his destiny. But to get to his enemy, he had to make himself like his enemy. Mortimer Cashel had a kingdom of secrets? Then Mark would make an empire. Mortimer Cashel had blood on his hands? Then Mark would bathe in it.
But Tristan and Isolde changed everything. Mark hadn't counted on wanting them, needing them; he hadn't counted on how it felt to watch the two of them fall in love. He'd thought he had everything under control - he'd thought he was safe from his own long-dead heart. He'd never imagined that the wronged husband, the jealous king from his childhood fairy tales, would be played by none other than himself.
It no longer matters what he used to believe. His enemy is ready to finish the game, and for the first time in eight years, Mark has pieces on the board he can't afford to lose. He'll burn the entire world to keep Tristan and Isolde safe. He'll scorch the earth - but as any good assassin will tell you, fire will only get a man so far, because there's always something left in the ashes. And for Tristan and Isolde, what's left in the ashes is the cold, bitter bones of the truth: their story begins and ends with Mark.
And every story needs a villain…
The spicy and dramatic conclusion to the Lyonesse trilogy is a no-holds-barred thrill ride in which Mark, Tristan and Isolde must untangle the forbidden love between them as the stakes grow higher than ever.

The House with No Keys - The Delta Games 2
This sequel to the New York Times bestselling book The Mystery of Locked Rooms follows the beloved Deltas as they race to complete the most challenging escape room they've ever faced...and confront their fears in order to save their friendship.
When a strange invitation shows up in Sarah's backpack, the Delta's learn that their favorite funhouse, The Delta Game, is about to get some serious competition. The "Mystery Mansion" is opening just miles away and the ominous and cryptic owner has invited Sarah, West, and Hannah to come test it on opening day. It claims to be the biggest and best escape house ever, and based on the photos of gleaming rooms filled with high-tech puzzles, it just might be.
What's more, the kids have been offered a ten-thousand-dollar prize if they escape the house. For some reason, West and Hannah seem very interested in the cash prize, but the three friends are torn because they really don't want to be a walking advertisement for a competitor to The Delta Game. After all, that funhouse changed their lives, Sarah's life especially.
But maybe the only way to keep the funhouse, and their friend William Taters in business, is to accept the invite to this new Mystery Mansion, escape it in record time, and show just how lame and easy it is by comparison. The trio arrive at the mansion on opening day, armed with their "fortune favors the bold" attitude. But they quickly learn that nothing is as it seems . . . and unfortunately this time, not everyone plays fair.
