Most Eligible Billionaire (Billionaires of Manhattan #1)

Annika Martin

He’s a powerful billionaire CEO who built the family business into an empire. The money doesn’t matter to him, but the company is his life. And then his eccentric mother wills it all to her tiny dog. I’m Vicky, the dog whisperer. (Not really, but that’s what my elderly neighbor always says.) When she dies, she surprises everybody by leaving a corporation worth billions to her dog, Smuckers. With me as his spokesperson. Suddenly I go from running my Etsy store to sitting in an elegant Wall Street boardroom with Smuckers in my lap. And my neighbor’s son, Henry Locke, aka New York’s most eligible bachelor, glaring across the table at me. Rumor has it Henry’s a business genius who’s as talented in the bedroom as he is in the boardroom. Sure, he’s gorgeous. Sex-in-a-seven-thousand dollar suit. But… He’s arrogant and infuriating. He refuses to listen to me when I insist I didn’t con his mother. He thinks he can bully me, buy me off, control me, even seduce me. Henry may have the women of Manhattan eating out of the palm of his hand, but I'm so over entitled rich guys who think they own the world. No way will his wicked smile be charming ME out of my panties. His wicked...devastating...impossible-to-resist smile. Oh well, who needs panties anyway? **************** A sexy enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy standalone! *Formerly titled Most Eligible Bastard.*

M.K. Deppner

Melanie Montgomery hasn't left the bookstore in awhile. And why should she? Her apartment is right above the business she owns and loves, her friends drop by to see her often, and groceries can be delivered to her door whenever she needs. And, most importantly, the rare books she loves are always right at her fingertips. So what if it feels like her world will implode if she takes three steps outside the store? She just won't go out. Simple. Samuel Reid's life has stagnated. At 42, he's retired from the lavish world of an international real estate agent and finds himself back at his grandparents' home in his old college town. Unsure of his next steps, he humors his grandfather by agreeing to sell off the rare books the man's collected over the years. It seems like it'll be a boring chore to help his grandfather out, but there is that very at-tractive bookseller down at Poor Oliver's... Maybe being back in this small town won't be so bad after all. This novel explores the world of rare book sales as well as the world of someone with agoraphobia. This small-town romance has plenty of bookish vibes, a healthy dose of summer into autumn feels, and explores what it means to love someone who suffers with debilitating mental health issues.

Charlotte Nash

Wilhelmina Mann can never seem to get anything right: her work, relationships and family are all on the rocks. But when she suddenly receives a stack of letters from her long-dead mother, everything she's ever known begins to change. On the eve of her thirtieth birthday, Wilhelmina Mann is already dealing with more than enough problems, so a birthday misadventure landing her in the lock-up is hardly even a surprise. But that mistake leads to Wil receiving a packet of old letters; letters to Wil from her mother that were written just before she died, back when Wil was a small child. Suddenly, Wil's life is thrown into a new kind of turmoil as she discovers the mother she lost. And while the letters begin as tales of growing up, they soon become a great love story, almost as great as the bond between mother and daughter. Caught in old, unexpected emotions and unresolved hurts, Wil risks everything to journey back to the tiny English village in which her mother grew up, searching for answers in another set of letters she is meant to find there. But secrets are kept for a reason. Will she find the last letters? And will she want to know what they contain? Twenty-Six Letters is a captivating novel entwining family, place and identity, the shame of keeping secrets and the liberation of finding them out.
