The Fall
Grim Tide, Book 2
by Ivy Whitaker
Some secrets were never meant to be kept—and some are worth dying for.
Karina Levy lost her memory in a tragic fall, and when she woke up, she was different. A monster. She walked away from a promising legal career and a fiancé who adored her, fleeing to Pleasant Valley—straight into the claws of the Grim Moon Pack.
Now she's caught in a web of politics and power: the Alpha's pawn, the Beta's enemy, and the Enforcer's target. Her only refuge is Avery Locke—her boss, her best friend's father... and her forbidden lover.
Together, they dig into the Pack's buried sins and restless ghosts. But to survive Grim Moon's corruption, they'll have to play dangerous roles—Karina, the sharp new pawn with a deadly secret; Avery, the moral center of a Pack rotting from within.
As an outsider closes in and blood threatens to spill, betrayal is inevitable. To save them all, Karina may have to sacrifice everything—including the two people she loves most.

Between the Lines
by Tracey Magruder
Sadie Reed thought she had her life mapped out—until a broken engagement and a string of bruised dreams left her starting over from scratch. Nursing a battered heart and desperate for a fresh start, she accepts an unexpected coaxing reclusive bestselling author Corbyn Pearce out of hiding and back to the page.
But Corbyn is as infuriating as he is brilliant. Scarred by a tragic accident and haunted by ghosts of the past, he’s determined to keep everyone at arm’s length—especially meddling editors with sharp red pens and sharper tongues. What begins as a battle of wills in a quiet English village soon stirs something neither of them a chance at healing, at rediscovering passion, and maybe at love.
When old wounds resurface and hidden truths come to light, Sadie must decide if she’s brave enough to rewrite her own story—and whether Corbyn belongs in its pages.
A heartfelt, slow-burn romance about resilience, second chances, and the courage to trust again.

The Next Breath
The Audiobook
by Laurel Osterkamp
Ten years ago, Robin found true love with Jed. Though he tried pushing her away, insisting that "permanent doesn't exist," she gave him her whole heart. So, after Jed died, of course her whole heart broke into millions of tiny pieces.
Fast forward a decade. Robin meets sweet yet irreverent Nick. He loves 80s sports flicks, Ben Folds Five, and Robin—which makes her believe in second chances. Except, months before meeting Nick, Robin had agreed to star in the play Jed wrote for her before he died.
Now, she's part of this weird, tragic love triangle. Nick doesn't even realize he's competing with a memory, while Jed's ghost lingers in her dreams, urging her to move on. But how can she, when she can't be honest with Nick, or with herself?
Perfect for fans of Carely Fortune and Jo Jo Moyes, The Next Breath is a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, is it possible to hold onto love and still let go?

Melodies of the Damned
Book 1 of Crowns of Gods and Monsters
by Nakita Kirwan
Princess Lyra Meridian would do anything to be free, even if it promised death.
The sacrificial rite of Asanction is her only chance to escape—a ruthless offering to estranged gods, where mortals either die or rise as their soldiers. She expected to be devoured. Instead, when she leaped into the cursed ocean, it recognised her… and something ancient awakened.
Now creatures crawl from the Hells to hunt her. And her kingdoms nightmare—the Commander of Death— is the first to find her. Forced into a blood bargain, Lyra is his prisoner. But the commander has motives far darker than she realised, and none of them involve letting her go.
As monsters close in and prophecy coils tighter around her throat, Lyra must decide whether the Commander is her captor, her protector…
or the temptation that will damn them both.
