One year to accomplish a dream. One year to leave my mark in the world. One year to live my life pretending that I'm not irrecoverably and completely in love with a man I can never have. I wish he would go away. I wish he would stop looking at me like I'm his everything. I wish . . . I had more than a year.

I can still taste her on my lips, lingering there like a shot of pretty poison. I should hate her for what she did. No one would blame me for it—not even her brother. The pain I felt that day ripped me apart until all that remained was the shell of the man I used to be. And now, I’m left to lie in the aftermath. Devastating news has my life spiraling further out of control. If I don’t get a handle on it, I could end up losing it all. But nothing cuts deeper than the shards of a broken heart, and the scars that won’t fade make it hard for me to care.

I've known Daisy for years. She's all curves, but I'm not supposed to notice. Because we're just friends. I want her anyway. Relationships are messy, and I don't do messy. I've never had a problem keeping my distance. But the clock is ticking. This was supposed to be easy. I didn't count on wanting more.

Bridget has learned not to trust an easy smile or flattering tongue, and Lord Archibald has both in spades.

However, she will only agree on one condition: there must be no touching of any kind.

Sleep. Something Henry longs for yet cannot seem to attain. It had never been the case before, but since his younger sister, Louisa, has been out in society, he is plagued by nightmares of failure. And to top it all off, an old acquaintance has asked for his assistance in watching out for another young lady during her first season. He should say no. But his good nature will not allow it.

The Hating Game meets Bridgerton in this snarky, sexy historical rom com with a modern voice from the author of The Edge of Summer.

Sex on the beach with a smoking hot stranger . . . I blame the tequila. And the way he rode the waves like he owned them. And the delicious way the water trickled down over his washboard abs and the V thingy. And the fact that I'm on the trip that was supposed to be my honeymoon until I caught the bastard cheating. Yeah, I'm going to blame it on all that. Because reckless behavior is so not usually me. But surfer god Fyn is a breath of fresh air I so badly need. A break from reality of the world around me.

Nothing gets by me. Nothing gets to me. On the field, or off. Until I meet Harper. One taste of her, and she brings me to my knees. I'll do whatever it takes to win her. She's brilliant, she's beautiful, and she's so reserved, she becomes the challenge I have to win.

Social butterfly. Life of the party. Single for life. While all my friends were busy getting married and making babies, I was happy I wasn't one of them.

But fate has other plans, and a surprise visit leaves me reeling, setting in motion a chain of events that I'm helpless to stop.

I was played for a fool by Hades and the Fates, when it was Death they always wanted. I am nothing more than mortal pawn in a game of gods and monsters. Now, they have taken everyone from me. They expect me to be broken, to be compliant. To be woven into their plans. But I refuse to let Death's sacrifice be in vain. I refuse to give up without a fight. I refuse to believe that love cannot win.

They say nothing compares to the first kiss. That sentence needs to be amended. Nothing compares to the first kiss from Oliver Best. I knew at the moment our lips touched that the cocky rockstar would be forever imprinted in my mind. I also knew that loving him would be my destruction. And yet, love him I did.

A soul lost in a world of darkness that wants nothing more than to devour me. To claim me as its own before I have a chance to escape. Before I have a chance to remember who I am...and how I came to be here. Before I remember him. But even then, the Underworld has no intention of letting me go. Not unless I can win them to my side.

It starts with dinner. Just a little harmless fun. Next thing I know, he's in way too deep. Then, he goes and rescues me again. What's a girl to do? Other than fall hard and fast.

Have you ever wished to one day wake up and discover all your dreams have come true? It happened to me and no, it wasn't the work of a fairy godmother. My music is playing on the radio, my face is splattered on the cover of every magazine, and I can't remember how I got there. The cherry on top is discovering the most devilish handsome man I've ever met is—wait for it—my husband.

Our bond, once vulnerable, grows stronger by the day, but the unwritten rules of friendship stand. Yet, something feels different.

Could there be a way to break all the rules and still find a happily ever after . . . Together?
