From a young age, child star-turned pop star Willa Stone knew "having it all" was a myth. The truth is, at some point, you have to choose what you really want in life: a career or a love life, fame or friends, success or peace. Knowing her true purpose in life is to create music and perform, she's long accepted that her life would always be on display, and every moment would revolve around building the brand. Even her relationships are manufactured, a lifetime of fake PR relationships in order to build interest in her next album.

When she's instructed to hide from the limelight for a while, she isn't sure what to do with herself. That is, until she stumbles into Holly Ridge. There, she starts daydreaming about finding balance and, for the first time in her life, having it all.

After a health scare made him realize he was living for nothing but his job, Leo Sinclaire is out to find balance in his life. This starts with buying a rundown house, connecting with the roots he's ignored since becoming a cutthroat publicist to some of the world's biggest stars, and, most importantly, being alone.

Unfortunately, he quickly finds that if he wants to be alone, Holly Ridge is the wrong choice. That peaceful existence completely evaporates when he discovers his biggest client-and biggest headache-has the same small town as her place to hide away. He spends time trying to keep her in line, both for his job and his sanity, but after a while, old feelings start to surface, and even though dating a client is strictly forbidden, he can't seem to stop thinking about her.

What happens when those thoughts turn into trying to figure out if they can have it all, together?

What causes earthquakes? What do they feel like? What are tsunamis and why do they happen? An informative introduction to earthquakes and their effects for young readers. Features information on real-life earthquakes, accompanied by striking color photographs and vivid illustrations. Developed with a reading expert from Roehampton University to help young readers grow in confidence. Includes carefully selected internet links to exciting websites to find out more.

This lush dark gothic fantasy debut by Lindsey Hart weaves haunting worldbuilding, goddess-blessed magic, and an aching slow-burn romance into a story of legacy, devotion, and survival. Perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab, Rachel Gillig, and Hannah Whitten-and for readers who crave gothic fantasy steeped in tension, magic, and emotional depth.

Aurelia Moirae never asked for power-or for the gods who carved her bloodline to come calling.

When her world collapses, Aurelia is dragged into Nyxarra, a mist-shrouded city ruled by blood bargains, ancient grudges, and magic long thought buried. What begins as a desperate attempt to save her brother quickly unravels into something far more dangerous.

With a haunted warrior at her side and a beautiful monster at her throat, Aurelia must face the stories etched into her blood-and the cost of daring to rewrite them.

Power is a curse. Love is a risk. And survival may cost her everything she has left.

"The thorns we inherit do not ask permission. They prick, they scar, they remind us that beauty was never meant to be harmless. And neither were we."

One perfect day in Barcelona. One kiss that changed everything. One goodbye that broke my heart.

I've always been the overlooked sister, the forgotten friend, the girl in the background of everyone else's love story. But when a handsome stranger rescued my purse-and then my entire day-I dared to believe my story might finally be starting.

Then he vanished. No explanation. No phone number. Not even a last name.

Classic.

Fast forward to six months later, when I discover my mystery man is Brody "Candy" Kane-NHL golden boy, my sister's fiancé's teammate-and he needs a favor. As in, a girlfriend to keep his reputation in good shape while he skates into a new contract. And frankly? I wouldn't mind a date to my sister's over-the-top wedding.

The deal: Fake date through wedding season. Break up at the end. No harm, no foul.

The rules: Fake smiles for the cameras. Fake hand-holding for the fans. Absolutely, positively, no falling for each other for real.

The problem: The chemistry that sparked in Barcelona? Never actually went away. And pretending to be in love with someone you're already halfway in love with?

Terrible idea. 0/10. Would not recommend.

A swoony Christian romance about second chances, hidden identities, and discovering that the one man you shouldn't want might be exactly who you need. Fans of Emma St. Clair, Jenny Proctor, and Courtney Walsh will love this sweet and clean, fake dating rom-com with all the banter and none of the spice.

Mollie has her heart set on the perfect sweater-it has all the colours of the rainbow, a heart, and even a bunny. She just has to have it! But when Grandma knits her one instead, things don't go quite as planned. It's colourful, it's one of a kind, and it just might unravel more than Mollie expected.

Is this the worst sweater ever...or the most wonderful one of all?

When the spotlight turns deadly, survival becomes the performance of her life.

A single gunshot rings out, shattering Laurel Hayward's debut as a professional dancer-and witnessing an assassination is only the beginning of her nightmare. The ruthless killer will stop at nothing to find her-determined to possess her or silence her forever.

Enter Deputy U.S. Marshal Jason Dunn: handsome, confident, and far too good at getting under Laurel's skin. Keeping her alive is his job, but keeping his distance? Impossible. Alone in the secluded safe house, the line between duty and desire blurs into something too powerful to resist.

Laurel needs Jason to survive. Jason needs her to finally capture the ghost who's haunted his career for years. But as their attraction ignites, the obsessed killer returns with a deadly final act . . .

And it could cost them everything.

* Stay With Me was previously published in 2014 as Stay by Karyn Lawrence (Nikki's alter ego). This completely rewritten version features new content, more spice, and a point-of-view switch.

In this powerful memoir, Anna says what too many women never get to say: this happened, it mattered, and it cannot be ignored.

A crime reporter covering the nation's most powerful institutions, Anna Giaritelli had moved to Washington, D.C. with the dream of making it. There she had built her career investigating federal law enforcement, border security, and the machinery of government that most Americans never see up close. Through the years, the city became her home. Then, on an ordinary Saturday morning in April 2020, everything changed.

Walking to the post office a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol, Anna was attacked in broad daylight, physically and sexually assaulted on a public sidewalk while strangers looked on. She survived. Her attacker fled the scene before anyone could stop him.

What followed would test her in ways she never imagined: a years-long legal ordeal, a system that kept releasing her assailant back onto the streets, and the stunning discovery that D.C. police had simply erased her assault from their public crime statistics, as if it had never happened.

Under Assault is Anna's unflinching account of what it means to be victimized twice: first by her attacker, then by the city she loved. It is also something more-a story of hard-won healing, of a reporter who turned her most personal trauma into her most important story, and of the courage it takes to speak when powerful institutions want you silent.

Anna Giaritelli is an award-winning journalist. She joined the Washington Examiner in 2015 and covers homeland security. She has reported from the border on more than 60 trips and was a finalist for the 2024 Dao Prize for Excellence in Investigative Journalism for her coverage of the border crisis. Giaritelli has appeared on Fox News, BBC, Newsmax, The Times, C-SPAN, Sky News, Live Now from FOX, and syndicated Sirius XM and iHeartRadio programs. She earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Asbury University in 2011. She is based in Georgia.

From the author of the viral, bestselling #bestofbooktok dark romantic tragedy "Under Your Scars" comes an all-new heartbreaking tale.

Elowen has spent her life beneath the shadow of a cruel village, where compassion is forbidden and dragons are nothing more than a page in history.

But deep in the heart of the mountain, the last dragon remains, forged in fire and war with an unwavering disdain for the rot of humans.

Both crave the same thing: to be chosen. What unfolds is an unlikely love story where its legacy transcends the ages.

In this fantasy retelling of the classic ballet Swan Lake, a fierce beast learns to love gently; but love is no shield against cruelty.

This collection honors the progress made in animal welfare while acknowledging the work still ahead.

We all have born ready moments that mark our lives and lead us toward purpose. It's up to us to recognize them so we can become what we are meant to be.

You know those moments in life you can look back on and say, "Everything changed right there"? When a door opened - or closed -or a timely word from a friend shifted your direction? In my family, we call those Born Ready Moments, a phrase made legendary by my John Wayne-loving grandpa.

In Born Ready, I share the moments that shaped not only my softball career, but my whole life. These moments taught me to work hard, find my voice, and, ultimately, led me on a journey to finding my faith. Some moments are mountaintop experiences like living my dream at the Women's College World Series and competing in the Olympics, however many are low seasons marked by insecurity, inadequacy, or brokenness. Looking back, I see how even the hardest moments mattered and brought something important out of me.

Realizing that every moment had a purpose reminded me I'm Born Ready - for the wins and the losses, the rewarding and the hard, because each one has shaped who I am.

And then she discovers she's pregnant...

With the support of Ana, the kind midwife, and the other mothers in Barrack 24, Naomi does the impossible and gives birth to a tiny baby boy. Hiding in the shadows, Naomi vows to do whatever it takes to keep baby Isaac safe. With rumours circulating of an Allied invasion, Naomi holds onto the hope the camp will be liberated. And she dreams of returning to her house by the Greek sea with her son.

But the day comes when Naomi hears heavy footsteps and the harsh voice of an SS guard. 'Out! Now! You can't take anything with you!' She's shoved into a line of people being marched out of the iron gates. Thick snow falls around them. Tears sting in Naomi's eyes.

It all happened so fast. And she was unable to grab the bundle of blankets containing her little boy. But Ana is still there, will she and the other brave women be able to save him?

The New York Times bestselling author of The Hangman's Daughter returns with the first volume in a brand-new mystery series which introduces a gravedigger and young inspector who must stop a serial killer in fin de siecle Vienna--the period during which modern criminology was born.

Vienna, 1893. A gravedigger at the city's famous Central Cemetery, Augustin Rothmayer is an unorthodox yet highly educated oddball who finds solace amongst the dead as well as in the writing the pages of the first almanac of his profession. But his fragile peace is abruptly disturbed when young inspector Leopold von Herzfeldt, an ambitious young transfer from Graz, arrives in need of help from someone expert in death. No one knows the subject better than Augustin Rothmeyer.

A superstitious killer is on the loose. His victims include several maids, each brutally staked. Recognizing the killer is using an ancient ritual for keeping the undead buried, the gravedigger joins the inspector on a journey that will take them deep into the underworld of their glamorous cosmopolitan city. In their search for a depraved monster, they receive unexpected help from telephone operator Julia Wolf, who impresses them with her unusual insight even as she fights her own personal demons.

Oliver Pötzsch's inventive historical crime series delivers the thrills and historical detail modern international mystery fans crave: a grippingly plotted mystery, a rich and painstakingly researched setting, a fascinating look into the beginnings of modern criminology, and an unlikely and unforgettable trio of characters.

A great read for spooky-season nightsA perfect addition to any Halloween reading list

"In the dawning, there was only wilderness and snow.
Now, cities stand upon the land the wild birds used to know." Irene Parikhal

Although the spirit of adventure lives deep within us all, thousands of years ago, a young Ojibwe woodcarver named Nwahtin ("of the calm waters") felt that spirit more strongly than most ... driving him from an early age to search for answers to questions no one had even yet thought to ask.

After giving himself over to the Painted Waters on an incredible vision quest-followed by a period of mourning for his beloved grandmother ("nokomis") who dies soon thereafter-he makes the impossible decision to leave behind his family and the riches of his bountiful homeland of the Great Lakes. First by paddle, then on foot, he embarks on an epic journey of exploration, following the setting sun westward into the unknown.

It was a journey that would reveal much to him about the world around him, even more about himself, and ultimately lead him to the revered island nation of Haida G'wai'i, off the northwest coast of current-day British Columbia. It is here, among the Haida people, that Nwahtin's spiritual connection to the natural world, his understanding of the profound teachings and wisdom of his own people, and his evolution into a master woodcarver would one day make him a legend.

Propelled by a terrifying otherworldly encounter, Sarah Flannery's small town bookstore becomes the heart of intrigue as she tries to untangle the skeins of dark and mysterious history, overcome her own past betrayals, and forge new connections.

Struggling to adapt to a new life and alone in a new land, a young Irish immigrant girl endures narrow opportunities, hard work, and simmering threats on the shores of Lake Ontario.

One must overcome a cage of her own making, the other must survive the labyrinth of a perverse employer. This is a story of the promise we nurture within ourselves and others.

From debut author Artemisia Clare comes the first entry in a cloak and dagger romance x mystery series set during the Renaissance.

The trials and tribulations of 16th century France spare no one and no place, not even the City of Fountains...

It's 1567 in Aix-en-Provence. Oste Lézin, the scandalous leader of a local confraternity, the Order of Saint-Mitre, is a commissioned city doctor at long last. Dorotèa Galoup, a member of the order, carries the secret that she's the masked duelist who has playfully sparred with him for years. Their friendship and deceptions tarry without trouble until the times catch up with them and leave Oste severely wounded after taking a stand during Reformation conflict.

Though he's back to work come summer, Oste is displeased to find that his own confraternity sent Dorotèa to assist him with his duties, and even more displeased when he encounters her next to a murder victim her first day on the job. Dorotèa and Oste find themselves working together in a reluctant alliance not only in a desperate bid to get a killer off the Aixois streets, but to find peace in what it means to love and be loved in return.

Under the pale glow of a Parisian spring in 1886, two restless souls move toward the same horizon-unaware that their meeting will ignite a love as luminous and fleeting as the stars themselves.

Vincent van Gogh arrives in Paris with little more than paint-stained hands and an aching determination to create something worthy of the world. Living in the cramped apartment of his brother Theo, he struggles against poverty, doubt, and the relentless pull of his own restless mind.

Across the ocean in Amherst, Emily Dickinson receives news that changes everything. Faced with the nearness of death, the reclusive poet does the unthinkable: she leaves the quiet safety of the Homestead and sails for Paris, determined to taste life before it slips beyond her reach.

When Emily agrees to sit for Vincent's portrait, their worlds collide in a blaze of color, poetry, and dangerous intimacy. Through letters, poems, and whispered confessions, the two artists discover in one another a fierce, unguarded understanding-one that will shape their art, their faith, and the fragile hours they have left.

But love between stars is never simple. As time grows short and darkness gathers, Vincent and Emily must decide whether beauty is meant to last...or simply to burn bright enough to change the night forever.

Some Starry Night is a sweeping, lyrical imagining of the hidden story behind Vincent van Gogh's most iconic painting-an unforgettable tale of love, creativity, and the courage to live fiercely, even in the shadow of the end.
