Andi burns down the stage with her fiery spirit, catching the eyes of Galway High's popular new math teacher, Kevin Mahoney.
After his ex dubbed him as too "vanilla", Kevin's on a mission to find the real version of himself. One look at Andi and he nearly bursts into flame. After colliding in the hallway, their chemistry leads to a hot, sweet hookup that leaves him wanting more. But when their work brings them together again, Andi and Kevin can't stay apart for long. Kevin is the first man Andi feels like she can trust, and conversation with Andi makes Kevin truly enjoy opening up to her.
Although friendship may be safer, romance could be everything and more, especially when an unexpected variable changes their lives in the best way possible.

Arrows and Apologies - Monsters & Muses 4
Her rejection only makes him want her more…
Mayor Alistair Wolfe had one job: hire a new assistant. Preferably, someone who would look good in the position and not cause any scandals. At least, that’s what the criminals funding his career want.
He definitely wasn’t supposed to blackmail his one-night stand into working for him. Especially considering that she’s a blue-haired, tattooed thief with an attitude.
Cora Astor wasn’t looking for a relationship. She wasn’t even really looking for a job, but having an in with the mayor of the island where her brother went missing seemed like a good idea.
She didn’t expect her new boss to be the hot, British stranger she hooked up with the night before her interview, or for him to be so brazen with his desires. Now, despite her disdain for the dirty politician, she’s entwined their lives so tight that escape seems unlikely.
Not that he’d let her go without a good chase.
The fourth instalment of Sav R. Miller’s Monsters & Muses series is a dark and addictive opposites attract romance, and is not to be missed by fans of Greek mythology-inspired, spicy romance tales.
Sweet Obsession - Dark Olympus 8
The hotly anticipated eighth instalment in the Dark Olympus series is a scorchingly hot, modern retelling of Poseidon and Icarus from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert.
"He was mine to protect. Mine to adore. Mine to lose forever."
Icarus may not have flown particularly close to the sun, but he has fallen…right into the rough hands of Olympus's own Poseidon. Being held captive by the gentle giant wouldn't be so bad if Olympus wasn't on the eve of destruction…or if Poseidon stopped looking at him with those irresistibly stormy eyes.
Poseidon doesn't have time to babysit his increasingly bratty prisoner, but he has no choice: Olympus is officially at war, and someone has to keep their best bargaining chip out of harm's way. The thing is, the longer Poseidon is with Icarus, the more he starts to care for his sworn enemy...and the more he realises that Icarus isn't the villain he's been made out to be. There's a warmth to him, a vulnerability, that Poseidon finds difficult to ignore or deny.
Now, with Circe and the Aeaens at the gate and Olympus a hair's breadth away from falling, Poseidon will have to make a difficult choice: about himself, about his allegiances, and about the man who woke his heart from its long slumber - only to threaten to break it for good...
Katee Robert breathes new life into the Icarus and Poseidon myth with an irresistible enemies to lovers romance that promises to take readers on a darkly seductive journey.

Everything I'll Say to You Tomorrow
If you could rewrite your memories, would you do it?
Fashion editor Miranda loves her work and lives a high-energy life in the hustle and bustle of Madrid. Her boyfriend Tristan hates the fast pace, noise and exhaust fumes, and wants only to get back to Galicia and the seaside, longing for kids and a white picket fence.
As explosive as their mutual attraction is, and as deep their love, one of them is going to have to give up their dreams. It’s only a matter of time before Tristan admits that even love isn't strong enough to overcome their fundamental differences.
The breakup is a shock to Miranda, but the very next day, she wakes up in the past on the day they met, and is forced to relive each momentous day throughout their relationship. At first she's determined to avoid the heartbreak by stopping the relationship before it begins, but eventually she sees that she can rewrite the details of her past…but not the trajectory.
So, she sets out to do better, hoping that she can avoid the inevitable heartbreak. But it becomes increasingly clear that she can't change who she really is – and what she really wants.

They say some people aren't meant to be together.
That Graham and I were too different to ever make any sense. I was driven by emotion; he kept his walls high. I dreamed of a brighter future; he passed his days in nightmares.
Despite all that, we sometimes shared seconds. Seconds when our eyes locked and we saw each other's secrets. Seconds when his lips tasted my fears, and I breathed in his pain. Seconds when we both imagined what it would be like to love one another.
But Graham Russell wasn't a man who knew how to love, and I wasn't a woman who knew how to stay. Yet if I had the chance to fall again, I'd fall with him forever.
Even if we were always destined to crash against solid ground.

Collision - The Better Series 1
Vanessa Clark, a second-year college student, has a visceral love of books and rain and an unbreakable bond with her best friends. Marked by her parents' difficult divorce, she found comfort in Travis, apparently the good guy that all mothers – including hers – would like next to their daughter. With Travis, Vanessa hopes to be able to build a happiness that she has been missing for too long now.
After two years, however, even that love seems to have cracked, and only rubble remains in Vanessa's heart. At least until, in class, she meets new classmate Thomas Collins for the first time. With a body covered in tattoos, green eyes in which it is all too easy to get lost, and a troubled past, Thomas is an explosive mix of charm and arrogance.
He and Vanessa, so different from each other yet deep down so similar, fit together like pieces of a puzzle, giving life to a tormented relationship made up of moments of passion and glimpses of tenderness, furious quarrels and reconciliations. But Vanessa wants more. She dreams of true, romantic and all-encompassing love, the kind of love story told in the novels that she never gets tired of reading.
Thomas, on the other hand, shuns every bond, feeling as though a perennial tangle of thorns is agitated in his chest. And yet, if understanding each other is difficult, parting is impossible. Beautifully translated from the original Italian, Collision is a passion-fuelled journey for lovers of new adult books – full of enemies to lovers tension and a charming, volatile ‘opposites attract’ romance.
