Releasing: November 19, 2026
Cover Designer: Chelsea Kemp
I kissed Felix Bailey, AKA my older brother’s best friend. My friend. I’ve known him since I was a child, and I’ve been in love with him since I was a teen.
One drunken night after too many spiked egg nogs, I made a move…and Felix made it clear that he wasn’t interested.
So I took my wounded heart back to California, where I’ve stayed for the past three years. Now, I’m heading back to Thistle Ridge, WA—the cozy, Christmas-loving town I’ve missed way too much—where I’ll be forced to face Felix since he’s my brother’s best man.
We’re pushed together right away, and while part of me loves it, the part that was rejected hurts…or at least it does, until Felix does the one thing I never thought he’d do…
This time, he kisses me, and I’m elated. It’s everything I ever wanted. So why is the urge to flee so strong? Felix hurt me once before, and I can’t let it happen again.
I’m looking for a Christmas miracle to help me decide. Who thought it could come in the form of a bright yellow cab?

There was a
beat of silence. For some reason I continued to stand there. Rafe looked at me
for a few more seconds, like he was deciding something. Then he lifted his
chin, gesturing toward the hallway. “You just got back from a run?”
I nodded.
“First one since I left Montana.”
“How was it?”
“Definitely
different. There are so many people out on the streets.”
He smiled.
“There’s an art to dodging the slow walkers and people glued to their phone.
You’ll pick it up.”
“I’m guessing
I’ll also learn to stop apologizing to people I cut around. I think I said ‘I’m
sorry’ a hundred times on an hour-long run.”
“Dead
giveaway you’re from out of town.”
I laughed.
“That and the fact that I’m wearing purple. What is it with everyone wearing
black in New York? Especially women. They’re all in black pants, black
leggings, black tops, black coats, black purses…”
His eyes
flicked over me again—this time I definitely didn’t imagine it. “I like that
you wear color.”
My stomach
did a small, traitorous flip. “Thanks.”
Another pause
stretched between us, this one charged in a way I couldn’t quite explain. Then
Rafe walked to the table and grabbed his shirt, pulling it on. It made me
wonder if he’d caught himself looking at me and felt wrong—exactly the way
watching him felt for me.
“I, uh, I’m
sorry Calder and I didn’t make it to your girlfriend’s show the other day.”
Rafe smiled.
“Not my girlfriend and not a big deal.”
“How was it?”
“Good. I like
plays better than musicals, but it was fun watching someone I know become
someone else onstage.”
Maybe that’s
why it sometimes felt like he was watching me—because being around him turned me
into someone else. Or maybe this was the real me. I wasn’t sure who the hell I
was anymore.
“Any good
plans for the week?” he asked. “You start your new job soon, right?”
I nodded.
“The Monday after next. I’m planning to hit a different museum each day as I
count down.”
“Nice. I love
museums. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with dinosaurs. I used to beg my
babysitter to take me to the Museum of Natural History. I’ve probably been
there fifty times over the years. It’s still one of my top two favorites.”
“What’s the
other one?”
“It’s called
the Noguchi.”
“I’ve never
heard of it.”
He nodded.
“It’s in Queens, so it’s not as popular as the museums in Manhattan that the
tourists hit. It has a lot of sculptures, but the best part is the outdoor
garden. It’s one of the most peaceful places in the five boroughs.”
“I’ll have to
check it out.”
“It’s a good
place to think. Or not think.”
I laughed. “I
might need both of those this week.”
He held my
gaze for a second, like he understood more than I’d said out loud. “Yeah…you
should go.”
I shifted my
weight, suddenly aware again that I was still lingering in his doorway. “Thanks
for the recommendation.”
“Anytime.”
Another
pause. Why wasn’t I leaving?
Rafe smiled.
“I was just going to make some breakfast. Want to join me?”
I thumbed
toward the hall. “I should probably get upstairs and shower.”
“You sure?
Your boyfriend texted and told me to keep an eye on you while he’s away. I
think that might include making sure you don’t start any more cooking fires.”
“I didn’t
start—”
Rafe laughed.
“I’m teasing. Go take your shower. I’ll have breakfast ready when you’re done.
Consider it payback for helping my aunt.”
I hesitated.
I should’ve said no, even though everything in me wanted to say yes. But I
didn’t. “Okay. I’ll be quick.”
“No rush.”
I forced
myself to start up the stairs.
It’s just
breakfast.
No big
deal.
Calm down
already.
Heck,
Calder told
him to look out for me.
Still, I took
a little more time in the shower than usual and let my mind wander to places it
shouldn’t. When I got out, I wrapped a towel around myself and started digging
through my drawers for something to wear. One drawer, then the next, and
eventually moving onto the closet.
I blew out a
breath.
I was being
ridiculous. Who cares what I wear? I was going downstairs to eat eggs,
not attend a black-tie event.
And yet…
I sprayed on
a little perfume. Took a few extra minutes fixing my hair. Put on eyeliner when
I normally just brushed on a bit of mascara. By the time I got dressed, it felt
like I’d crossed an invisible line I hadn’t meant to step over.
Or maybe I
had.
I shook the
thought away. It’s just freaking breakfast. I grabbed my phone, took one
more glance in the mirror, and headed back downstairs.
A new, shockingly forbidden standalone from New York Times bestselling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland…
Sometimes one floor is all that separates the life you planned from the life you never saw coming…
Moving to New York with my boyfriend, Calder, was supposed to be a fresh start.
A new city. A new job. A beautiful brownstone in Brooklyn we’d call home. The beginning of our forever.
There was just one catch: Calder’s best friend lived in the apartment downstairs.
Rafe—a gifted artist who smashed glass into masterpieces. With his unruly blond hair and piercing eyes that seemed to see right through me, he was impossible to ignore.
He was also completely off-limits.
Yet somehow, every walk past his apartment or trip to the basement laundry room turned into another deep conversation neither of us ever wanted to end.
At first, it was innocent.
Then I found myself looking forward to running into him again.
Before long, I was creating opportunities to be around him.
Somehow, Rafe and I made each other feel seen in ways neither of us expected.
I tried to ignore our connection, reminding myself that Calder’s best friend was the last man on Earth I could ever fall for.
But with every stolen moment, that lie became harder to believe.
Maybe some love stories aren’t about finding the right person—but what happens when you find them too late.

Until the night everything changed. The evening that scarred me and altered my life’s path. I was left shattered and haunted by who I’d never be and what I’d never have.
Now, they call me the forbidden one. Closed off. Guarded. Surrounded by affection, but unwilling to love anyone besides my family.

More than I’ve wanted with any other man. Moments that will overshadow the darkest ones.

Marni, you really do save the best for last.
The Forbidden One is the final book in Marni’s The Weston Group series, and wow, she brings it all with this one.
I know going into any book by Marni that her writing is going to captivate me. What I had not expected were the emotional tears to fall.
Eden – I adore and admire this woman. She is so strong, and watching her grow through this story was unbelievably awesome.
Let’s not forget about Troy. This man is every green flag you want in a partner. Marni is known for her sexy, alpha men but with Troy, she brought all of it!!
If you read previous books in this series, you know we have some bits and pieces of Troy. However, what I didn’t expect was to see how intertwined Eden and Troy’s lives were. The patience Troy had, and how he waited (this man WAITED!!) for when Eden was finally ready – yea, I was a goner.
That’s all I am saying because saying anything more gives way too much away.
Promises. They’re easy to make. Even easier to break. Which is why it’s nearly impossible for me to believe a man I don’t know when he promises me the one thing I’ve always desired: Freedom. But when I risk everything by faking my death and showing up at his home, he remains a man of his word, vowing to help me escape the life I was forced into. As I wait for my chance at a new beginning, I offer to be the nanny for his little girl, never expecting her to steal half my heart, while her father, a dangerous man who somehow becomes my safe haven, claims the other. And for the first time in my life, I’m forced to question what I want more: The freedom I’ve always dreamed of… Or the family I’ve never had. There’s only one problem. Even in death, my husband will find me. And he’ll stop at nothing to destroy me. But to get to me, he’ll have to go through the one man willing to burn the world down to keep me safe. The only man my heart beats for: Alessandro Alarie.

Alex – you put yourself right up there with Mauro on that high pedestal of perfect partners.
“I may not be able to change the past, but I will be the reason you no longer fear the darkness.”
That right there says it all for me!! GOD DAMN this man!
After meeting Charlotte in that bathroom years ago, he has never once stopped trying to free her from the life she’s never wanted. And then he gets his chance, and he will stop at nothing to grant her that freedom.
But it’s not so easy to give the one woman he has ever made his heartbeat differently a freedom without him in it. Oh, and did I mention he’s a single dad who will burn down the world for his daughter!? GAHHHHHH!!
Ashley – you wrote a magnificent story that kept me glued to the pages from start to finish. I dreamed of these two when I wasn’t reading. They consumed me.
The explosive conclusion to the Tangled Hearts trilogy from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg!
Holden She’s my rival. My obsession. My ruin. I told myself Rowan Rothschild was nothing more than the enemy across the boardroom table. But the longer our worlds collide, the harder it is to remember which battles are worth winning. Now she’s the woman I can’t stay away from, even when the cost might be everything I’ve worked years for.
Rowan The company. The inheritance. The family name. I’ve fought to protect it all from Holden Knight, but nothing prepared me to face him again. Every look, every touch, every ruthless move he makes drags me deeper back into him. The line between love and hate has never been thinner. And this time, falling for him could destroy us both.

Twined Fates is the final book in the Tangled Hearts – these must be read in order.
Twined Fates starts off on the cliffy that we were left dangling from in Threaded Lies and the tension is ripe from the start.
The undeniable chemistry and tension between Rowan and Holden is still strong as ever, and no matter what, these two cannot resist the pull of one another. However, there are secrets and lies that prevent them from wholly acting on those feelings.
Kristy keeps these pages turning with all the twists, turns and edge-of-your-seat uncertainty. I love that we get to see more of the family dynamics and how different they all really are.
But we finally get the HEA and it was well worth it!!

New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is back with this red-hot romantic comedy about two rival real estate developers who inherit the same lucrative property in a small beach town. There’s just one catch: they have to live in it…together.
No loopholes. No backing out. No leaving for four months.
Damon Burke is intense, handsome and vengefully calculating—he’s also certain he’ll outlast his competitor.
Jade Buchanan is brilliant, ruthless, and absolutely not losing to him.
But the house seems to have a mind of its own. With faulty wiring, a leaking roof, drafty windows and the occasional wild-life infestation, it just might be trying to kill them. And the more Damon and Jade try to oust each other from the property, the more it brings them together.
Sparks fly, tempers clash—but eventually, all their walls come crumbling down.
It’s a bad idea to get too close to your enemy. To care about them, need them, want them more than you’ve ever wanted anything.
But when rivalry becomes something more than they ever expected, Damon and Jade discover love can be a very good bad idea.

From New York Times bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a sizzling age-gap, forbidden MM romance about an FBI agent and the Camorra enforcer who thaws his frozen heart.
Tom
I know a secret that can destroy the most powerful crime organization in America.
For years, I’ve watched Enzo Ferrante get away with murder. Literally.
He’s slipped between the FBI’s fingers time after time, spreading terror and mayhem on the streets of New York, masked beneath a gorgeous face and elegant pedigree.
A sloppy error on his part results in an incident that unexpectedly binds us together.
Suddenly, I’m no longer the special agent who is thirsty for his blood.
I’m his savior. His god. The light in his pitch-black existence.
Now that I caught the social butterfly in my spider web, I’m never letting go.
He is about to taste the venomous kiss of betrayal as I put him and his entire family behind bars for the rest of their lives.
Because when the night falls, the Camorra’s enforcer crawls between my sheets and whispers all his sordid secrets in my ear.
Enzo Ferrante is completely and utterly mine, and nobody knows.
Leigh – you crushed it with this one! FREAKING LOVE THIS!!
Fallen Rook is Leigh’s first MM romance and left no crumbs! I am a huge MM and sapphic romance reader, so I was incredibly excited to read this one.
Enzo – oh my golden retrieve mafia enforcer – to see what you were hiding all this time. I absolutely adore this man. But his awakening moment – yea, that was when I loved him even more.
Tom – the cold, calculated man that just wants to get justice – you sir, are so much more than what you show people. These two, beautifully broken men are just what the other needed, but didn’t know it.
The chemistry and tension between Enzo and Tom is impossible to ignore. But what I loved most was how these two were able to give the other what no one else ever could – to be seen and loved for more than who they are. GAH! They were perfect for one another in so many ways.
Oh, and those spicy scenes are off-the-charts HOT!! Watching these two together – YES!!
LJ absolutely delivered perfection on Fallen Rook. It’s a phenomenal dark mafia MM Romance and one you absolutely MUST READ!!

My focus is on the distillery that’s been in my family for four generations and our newest product. That’s where it needs to stay.

Tennessee Trouble is a really good start to Claire’s newest series.
This is a rivals-to-lovers romance that brings all the chemistry to the forefront and makes that rival tension even more delicious to watch.
The blurb is really all you need to know going into this one. Brandt and Lindee are after the same thing in business. But neither can deny the chemistry they feel after that one night – what happens if they choose to go for more?!?!
Claire writes this high chemistry story very well. I love that readers can see how both characters react to one another and their inner musings while they are working out where to go after that wild night and then seeing each other unexpectedly the next day.
The story flows really well and I enjoyed this one alot.

How wrong I was.
FRANKIE
My brother’s teammate watches me when he thinks no one’s looking. But I’ve caught him, and I know exactly what’s hiding in those stormy blue eyes.
It’s not the first time a closeted guy has looked at me like I’m a problem he desperately wants to solve. And I’ll gladly let him. This Frankie fun-ride is at your service.
Temporarily.

Make it a ride they won’t forget and on to the next.
Life has taught me I’m made for moments, not forever. And I know better than to fall for men who can’t choose me in the daylight.

I’m just another straight ballplayer in a straight world, keeping my head down. Because in my family, inside every locker room I’ve ever known—being gay isn’t an option.
Baseball is supposed to be enough. It has been.
Then Frankie Nebiolo walked in and offered me something I couldn’t resist.
A secret place to be myself in a way I’ve never risked before.
With him, I can finally breathe. I can finally want.
Except…the longer we’re together, the more painful hiding becomes.
Now I’m starting to wonder if I’d trade everything for the chance to stop pretending.

Frankie!! He won me over with his outgoing personality but his compassion and deep understanding of Jackson won me over. I need Frankie as my best friend.
Lizzie, thank you for writing a story that is so relevant in today’s society. It’s raw, real and authentic in so many ways.

She’s betting on herself. He’s racing to undo a reckless wager.
Mia Young didn’t claw her way onto the Formula 1 grid just to become another driver to crash and burn. She’s the highest earning sponsored driver in the sport’s history, but she’s determined to show the world that she’s more than a pretty face in a purple racing suit.
She may be the only rookie on the grid, but she’s not the only driver with something to prove.
As the reigning world champion, Prince Marceaux is Formula 1 royalty. He’s the lead driver expected to help his team win the coveted Constructor’s Cup for the second year in a row. But behind the pulse-pounding G-forces and champagne showers is a man shouldering the weight of a dysfunctional family with responsibilities that never let up.
When a reckless bet from the other top drivers challenges Prince to seduce Formula 1’s newest rookie, he accepts and goes along with the scheme. After all, racing is a gamble, and he always plays to win.
But as Prince really gets to know Mia, he falls fast and hard.
Will the truth behind the wager undercut the very real chemistry and connection they share? Or will the world champion be able to win—and keep—the heart of the rookie, claiming the ultimate reward?
