Alexandra Moody's BookTok sensation continues with Darling Devils #2: Grumpy Darling — perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, clean romance, and slow-burn fire on the ice! She's never been kissed. He's never felt this way about anyone. Paige has ticked off everything on her senior year bucket list except one tiny thing — she’s never kissed anyone. And her best friend, Grayson Darling, is to blame. Grayson is the school hockey team’s notorious enforcer, and he’s been scaring away any eligible bachelors that so much as look in Paige’s direction. With time running out, she demands that Grayson stop defending her honor. Instead, he’ll become her dating coach, training her to win the guy of her dreams. But Grayson has plans of his own. He’s been in love with Paige since they were kids, and his clock is running, too. Coaching Paige might be his last chance to show her how good they’d be together. After all, practice makes perfect.

WANTED: One (fake) boyfriend Practically perfect in every way Luc O'Donnell is tangentially—and reluctantly—famous. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship...and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he's never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. Unfortunately, apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened. But the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. And that's when you get used to someone. Start falling for them. Don't ever want to let them go.

First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont. International socialite duties do have downsides—namely, when photos of a confrontation with his longtime nemesis Prince Henry at a royal wedding leak to the tabloids and threaten American/British relations. The plan for damage control: staging a fake friendship between the First Son and the Prince. As President Claremont kicks off her reelection bid, Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret relationship with Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations. What is worth the sacrifice? How do you do all the good you can do? And, most importantly, how will history remember you?

Love isn’t blind, it’s just a little blurry. Sadie Montgomery never saw what was coming . . . Literally! One minute she’s celebrating the biggest achievement of her life—placing as a finalist in the North American Portrait Society competition—the next, she’s lying in a hospital bed diagnosed with a “probably temporary” condition known as face blindness. She can see, but every face she looks at is now a jumbled puzzle of disconnected features. Imagine trying to read a book upside down and in another language. This is Sadie’s new reality with every face she sees. But, as she struggles to cope, hang on to her artistic dream, work through major family issues, and take care of her beloved dog, Peanut, she falls into—love? Lust? A temporary obsession to distract from the real problems in her life?—with not one man but two very different ones. The timing couldn’t be worse. If only her life were a little more in focus, Sadie might be able to find her way. But perceiving anything clearly right now seems impossible. Even though there are things we can only find when we aren’t looking. And there are people who show up when we least expect them. And there are always, always other ways of seeing.

Emerging from the shadows sometimes means shaking hands with the devilCora Holland is the internet's angel. Well... she was. Until the man she trusted to keep her safe became the very monster she needed protecting from. After rebuilding her life in the shadows, she's finally ready to step back into the light. But some pieces of her life still feel stolen. Losing her outlet of painting, the only thing keeping her grounded, being one. The other? Her freedom. All thanks to Marcus Romano, formidable head of Romano Security, and the one man who can't forgive himself for letting her down. The case cuts too deep, and Marcus trusts no one but himself to keep her safe. So he steps into her world as her shadow. A shadow she doesn't want. A shadow who won't let her go. Worlds collide as these two clash, but the longer they spend chasing their ghosts and realising how much they share beneath her forced smiles and his brooding walls, the more they uncover that in the wreckage of everything they've lost, they just might find the one thing worth saving.

Trusting a heart that watched yours break is sometimes the bravest thing you can do. Aurora Greene has spent her life trying to make others happy. Following in her dad's footsteps, she enrolled at Liberty Grove to study law, believing it was the only way to make him smile again after her mom’s death. But when her dad passes away suddenly, Rory is left with nothing but questions—and no idea what she wants for herself. Until she finds them—her old figure skates. Skating had gone from being the reason she woke up to being too painful to face, but now, she’s ready to reclaim her joy—and maybe herself—by lacing them up again. But chasing her dreams comes with a financial, emotional, and physical price, and it’s a cost she’s not sure she can bear alone. Enter Finn Rhodes, star forward of the Liberty Lions hockey team and the guy who shattered Rory’s heart freshman year when he turned her down in front of everyone. For Finn, hockey isn’t just a sport; it’s his ticket to the NHL, where he dreams of skating for the Quebec Knights like his legendary grandfather. But there’s one problem: he’s failing his French minor—a language he desperately needs to master to impress Canadian scouts. <When their paths collide again, a deal is struck. Finn will teach Rory how to skate again, and Rory will help him pass French. But there’s a history between them that neither can ignore. Rory hasn’t forgotten how Finn humiliated her freshman year, and Finn can’t seem to get past the feelings he’s tried so hard to bury. As lessons turn into late nights and rivalry gives way to something more, Rory and Finn are skating on dangerous ground. She’s fighting to rediscover herself, and he’s running from everything he fears becoming. But in each other, they might find more than they expected—and everything they’ve been searching for.
