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.

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?
Allegra: I think you’re pretty amazing. I’m going to bed smiling on the eve of what might turn out to be one of the worst days of my life. Thank you for coming here with me.
The reply came almost instantly.
Matteo: I think you’re pretty amazing, too. And I love your smile.
That made my already-big grin grow wider. Rather than text back, I decided to take a selfie of me beaming to show him I wasn’t kidding. I held my phone out, tilted it down for a good angle, and snapped a photo of me lying in bed. Only when I checked the picture, I realized the camera had caught a lot more than I’d intended. Yes, I was smiling, but I was also wearing a black slip nightgown, the top of which was lace and showed a lot of cleavage. I hadn’t been going for sexy, but damn, it was.
I bit my lip, debating whether I should take another. Then the wine, or maybe the adrenaline, pushed me. Screw it. Send.
My heart raced as I watched the status go from Delivered to Read. The dots on the screen started to bounce around, then stopped and started twice before an incoming text arrived.
Matteo: You’re gorgeous. And that photo just made its way into my private folder.
A shiver ran down my spine.
Allegra: And what exactly are the photos in your private folder used for?
Matteo: I think you know the answer to that.
My thighs pressed together thinking of Matteo pleasuring himself to my picture. I hadn’t intended this conversation to go this way, but now that it had…
Allegra: I think it’s only fair that I have a picture for my private folder, then.
This time a response didn’t come right away. After a minute or two, I thought maybe I’d taken things too far. But then my phone chimed, a photo lit up my screen, and my breath caught.
Oh. My. God.
Matteo was sprawled across his bed, sheet slung low on his hips. His muscular chest was bare, and his beautiful Italian skin was golden and smooth except for the sexy happy trail that led down to where it was covered. One arm was bent behind his head, showing off the cut of his biceps, and his gaze was on me, even through the photo. And God, the sinful smirk on his lips made it impossible to look away.
After a few minutes of staring, I swallowed.
Allegra: I’m speechless, and that’s saying something. LOL. Wow. Just wow. I’m not sure I’ll be able to sleep after seeing that. I’m a little riled up.
His near-instant response left no doubt that he’d been waiting for my text.
Matteo: For the record, my door is open if you ever want to come see it in person…

A forgotten prophecy.
A 300-year-old curse.
And two people bound by a goddess to break it… if the bond doesn’t break them first.
In Lunaris, everyone trades their memories for asylum. No one remembers their past, their homeland, or the curse that trapped them behind a wall of darkness called the Shroud. But they don’t dare break the rules set upon them.
Ada Acevedo has spent years hiding her healing gift and keeping her head down. But when her twin brother is struck by a poisoned arrow, she breaks the most dangerous rule of all. She bargains with the goddess of death to save his life. She didn’t expect the goddess to send Malachi Bain–an infuriating warrior–to collect. Much less to be soul-bound to him until she repays what she owes. Now Ada has no choice but to help him do the impossible: lift the Shroud and break the curse that’s kept Lunaris hidden from the rest of the realm for three hundred years. As she’s pulled deeper into a world of forbidden prophecies and buried secrets, Ada discovers a devastating truth. Lunaris isn’t the paradise she always thought it was. It’s a cage. And on the other side, a monster is lurking–waiting for the Shroud to fall. Waiting for her.
