From the “masterly” (The New York Times) Jodi McAlister, a charming new romance about two English professors who embark on a fake relationship…only to discover that it may be harder to pretend than they realized. Sadie Shaw and Jonah Fisher have been academic rivals since they first crossed paths as undergraduates in the literature department thirteen years ago. Now that a highly coveted teaching opportunity has come up, their rivalry hits epic proportions. Jonah needs the job to move closer to his recently divorced sister and her children, while Sadie needs the financial security and freedom of a full-time teaching position. When Sadie notices that the job offers partner hire, however, she hatches a plot to get them both the job. All they must do is get legally married. It’s a simple win-win solution but when sparks begin to fly, it becomes clear that despite their education, these two may not have thought this whole thing through. Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Abby Jimenez, An Academic Affair pairs Jodi McAlister’s “smart, scorching, and emotionally resonant” (Freya Marske, author of A Restless Truth) writing and academic background to prove that she’s one of the smartest rom-com writers working today.

Don’t disturb the family. This is the only rule given to Brooke Summers, an actress escaping the fallout of a Hollywood scandal. In need of privacy, she retreats to Maison Marteau, a mansion in Paris with an empty apartment. A place she can lie low and try to salvage her career. The apartment is meant to be a refuge, but as she prepares for an upcoming audition, she hears unsettling noises at night, finds strange items in the apartment, and begins to suspect she’s being watched. Searching for the truth, she discovers a dark history surrounding the mansion and hears strange rumors about the family. And as she uncovers more secrets, it becomes clear she’s not only preparing for a horror movie. She’s living in one. Because once you enter Maison Marteau, you might not be allowed to leave.

Two strangers discover a love that transcends time in this unforgettable new romance starring Emily Bader (People We Meet on Vacation) and Lewis Pullman (Remarkably Bright Creatures). Celeste Varick has a simple plan. Charter a plane to a remote island on Lake Michigan, hike into the woods, find the last remaining wormholes on earth, and ya know, walk into one. For reasons! Okay, maybe not quite simple, given she has no idea where she’ll land in the timeline, or what she’ll need to do to fix a past she can't move on from. Perhaps she could use a little help… The only other person on the island is Everett Ludlow, who just happened to book the same charter to find the same wormholes at the same exact time as Celeste. He doesn’t usually believe in fate, but he’s desperate for a chance to save someone he loves by jumping into the future. So maybe they’ll band together to brave the wilderness and find the wormholes. Two lost souls tempting fate—and each other, as it turns out—have to be better than one? But it’s hard to say what’s scarier: jumping into the unknown to fix her past and his future or staying in the present and taking a chance on happiness together.

The new head gardener at the enchanting Lilymoor House stumbles upon a secret garden . . . with a mysterious man trapped inside, in the next magical novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Sounds Like Love and The Seven Year Slip. When Sophie Drear plans her escape to coastal Maine for the summer—for a temporary job revitalizing the storied grounds at Lilymoor House—she doesn’t expect to fall in love. But she does: With the beguiling land, the fragrant flowers, and the towering hedge maze. With the quirky staff and the enigmatic woman who owns the place. And then, the door appears. Never in the same place twice, it leads her to a secret, and unfinished, garden with a frustrated thundercloud of a man trapped inside. This mysterious garden is not the only sign that the future of Lilymoor is unstable: the foliage resists Sophie’s careful nurturing, vines threaten to strangle the hedges, and the manor’s owner has wild ideas about who will take over when she retires—including her inconveniently attractive nephew who is also there just for the summer. Despite herself, Sophie has come to care for the residents of Lilymoor just as much as she cares for its grounds. With the help of one man on the outside of the secret garden, and one man on the inside, she might be the only person who can figure out exactly what Lilymoor needs to bloom once more.
