A woman searching for her true passion discovers a strong connection with a man who can never be hers in this steamy tale of forbidden romance.

Sienna and Amiri have been together for four years, but ever since he put a three-carat engagement ring on her finger, she’s been having second thoughts. Like, maybe she wants more out of her relationship than an internet-famous boyfriend who’s more concerned with keeping his followers happy than making her happy.

So when Sienna receives the coveted golden envelope―an invitation to Pandora’s annual New Year’s Eve masquerade ball―she decides to attend, hoping to unlock her secret desires. What she discovers there is the kind of intense connection no woman in her right mind would walk away from . . .

Jahad knows exactly what’s missing from his life the moment he lays eyes on Sienna. The woman is fire, and he walks willingly into the flames. Once her sexy curves are under him, he knows they belong together.

Thing is, Jahad already has a woman: a very pregnant wife who wants nothing to do with him. Hopped up on hormones, Leighton sent him out on a hall pass to find someone else to satisfy his needs. And now he’s aching for a woman he can never have again.

Then Sienna turns up on Jahad’s doorstep. She’s the new doula his wife hired to help get her through the rest of a difficult pregnancy. How’s Jahad supposed to do the right thing when everything in his heart and mind tells him his soul is tied to Sienna’s?

This edition features two bonus stories describing how alternate versions of Sienna and Jahad come together in parallel universes.

The gloves—and more!—are coming off for workplace enemies turned fake newlyweds trying to save their jobs in this sexy rom-com, perfect for fans of Tarah DeWitt and B.K. Borison.

There are three things that PR strategist Jasmine Morgan knows for sure: One, she’s damn good at her job. Two, she’ll do whatever it takes to save her team from looming layoffs. And three, Derek Carter will always be her archnemesis—even if the man is ridiculously fine. Unfortunately, she and Derek end up on competing projects in Miller’s Cove, a small town highly suspicious of corporate outsiders. To gain the trust of the locals, she’ll have to ditch her blazer and pose as a “honeymooning couple” with her mortal enemy.

Derek isn’t about to let Jasmine best him on the venture that will seal their fate during this company audit. But wherever he goes, she’s there—in his hotel suite, digging for the same research, and even stealing the loyalty of his dog (traitor). Worse, her tempting performance as his fiancée has him torn between killing her career or kissing her senseless. But as the two get deeper into their charade, they discover little Miller’s Cove has a lot of big secrets. Secrets that could save their careers . . . but at what cost?

A love just for show grows into something more in this swoonworthy romance from the author of The Romantic Agenda.

Zinnia is an ambitious, successful businesswoman who is not about to wait around for her One True Love. She turns her dating profile into a marriage-merger proposal: a few strategic meetings, move in together, get married—all within thirty days. Her friends think it will never work… until she meets Jordan, a near-perfect applicant with a big secret.

Jordan’s family has spent the last decade starring in a massively popular reality show about their lives. He has finally agreed to join the cast, but production wants him to marry an actress (his ex) in a romantic storyline to boost viewership.

Convinced Zinnia is perfect for the role instead, Jordan proposes a mutually beneficial marriage agreement: she gets her business partner husband, and he gets to help his family on his terms. Together they face strict schedules, wild plot twists, and behind-the-scenes hostilities, all while acting like besotted newlyweds—an intense performance that evolves into a relationship they never expected.

As the line between reality and show blurs, Zinnia and Jordan must choose between a clean contract or a beautifully messy love story.

After a devastating breakup leaves her questioning everything, Farrah Darby trades her flailing life in San Francisco for a fresh start in Hollywood as a movie set stylist. Her fashion expertise should be her ticket to success, but there's one problem: Director Errol Davis seems determined to make her life hell. Every costume choice becomes a battle, every interaction a test of wills.

Farrah gives as good as she gets - if Davis wants war, she'll show him exactly what she's made of. But between their heated arguments, she can't help noticing other things too: his intense focus when he's directing, the rare smile that transforms his face, and yes, that irritatingly perfect ass. When a crisis on set forces them to work closely together, Farrah glimpses a different man beneath the harsh exterior - one who might be worth the risk of letting her guards down again.

Now she's facing a dilemma bigger than any wardrobe decision: trust her head, which warns her to keep her distance, or her heart, which whispers that their rivalry might be disguising something much more intriguing.

Losing her father to the 9/11 terrorist attack at the tender age of three, has Genesis Farris longing for what she feels is missing. Being that her mother never remarried or even introduced another man into their lives, it made her that much more curious about what it was like to be loved by one. She’s always wanted to know and experience what was so special or significant about a man’s love, but she was far from the point of desperation. Just from the stories she’d heard about her father, she knew that he wanted what was best for her, so she refused to settle for less than that.

While on the job as one of the most decorated firefighters in her city, she comes face to face with who she believes will be the man to school her on all the things she is ignorant about. The situation is extremely dangerous, and she’s hoping the attraction isn’t simply a trauma bond. She doesn’t plan to waste time on something that won’t have the potential to be permanent. Judge Patrick isn’t a man that easily accepts rejection, but Genesis knows her worth and refuses to accept anything less, regardless of status and prestige.

Kyrie Patrick is an educated man who believes in pulling yourself up by the bootstraps to get the things you want and deserve. He’s the youngest judge in the state and the first black judge from his hometown to ever be elected to office. Those facts have Kyrie thinking more highly of himself than he should and that ruffles some people’s feathers. He constantly looks over his shoulder, because he doesn’t trust people. He’s gained plenty of enemies along the way for being a presiding judge for the criminal court of appeals and for not always seeing beyond black and white.

While he would love to have a woman to share his life and all of his successes with, he isn’t in a hurry. He didn’t have the greatest example of how a man should love a woman growing up, so he is learning on the fly. He believes the love of his life will eventually cross his path if fate has its way. That fateful day comes when he faces a matter of life and death. The angel of mercy pays him a visit in the form of a gorgeous firefighter that leads him to the light in more ways than one.

Although sparks fly between Genesis and Kyrie, they chalk it up to their emotions being high and their traumatic vulnerability due to the situation. Commonality brings them closer, causing them to reevaluate their chemistry. However, egos get in the way and jeopardize their chances of reaching the heights they’d hoped for, not to mention constant threats on Kyrie’s life. Will they be able to tread through the dangers faced and get beyond their own vices and insecurities to establish something special, or will they choose to cut their losses and focus their efforts on their individual safety, careers, and futures?

From New York Times bestselling author Shanora Williams comes a deeply heartfelt romance about the tragedies that put our lives on hold―and the love that makes us want to start again.

Javier Valdez hasn’t had much luck with nannies, and he can’t imagine this one will be any different. Octavia Klein is all sass to his stoicism, free spirit to his hard work. But he’s a widower, and with a career in the NBA, he can’t keep doing this alone.

Despite Javier’s reservations, Octavia turns out to be the best thing for his four-year-old daughter…and for him. But he’s reluctant to admit it. Javier swore off love after his wife died, and Octavia has her own reasons for avoiding relationships.

As their bond deepens far past professionalism or even friendship, it’s hard to deny the crackling tension of something more. They’re both toeing lines they said they wouldn’t cross―and when their pasts come rushing back, there’s no telling which way they’ll fall.

With old wounds reopened, can Javier and Octavia overcome the pain once again? Or will their future together become just another scar?

How Stella Got Her Groove Back is full of Terry McMillan's signature humor, heart, and insight. More than a love story, it is ultimately a novel about how a woman saves her own life—and what she must risk to do it.

Stella Payne is forty-two, divorced, a high-powered investment analyst, mother of eleven-year-old Quincy- and she does it all. In fact, if she doesn't do it, it doesn't get done, from Little League carpool duty to analyzing portfolios to folding the laundry and bringing home the bacon. She does it all well, too, if her chic house, personal trainer, BMW, and her loving son are any indication. So what if there's been no one to share her bed with lately, let alone rock her world? Stella doesn't mind it too much; she probably wouldn't have the energy for love—and all of love's nasty fallout—anyway.

But when Stella takes a spur-of-the-moment vacation to Jamaica, her world gets rocked to the core—not just by the relaxing effects of the sun and sea and an island full of attractive men, but by one man in particular. He's tall, lean, soft-spoken, Jamaican, smells of citrus and the ocean—and is half her age. The tropics have cast their spell and Stella soon realizes she has come to a cataclysmic juncture: not only must she confront her hopes and fears about love, she must question all of her expectations, passions, and ideas about life and the way she has lived it.

Malik and Lyric work closely together and are always plastered on social media, leaving Vivienne to wonder if there's something more than music between her future husband and his artist. The higher Malik's star rises, the more the idyllic façade Vivienne has created begins to crumble around her.
