ZANDERS Chicago hockey isn't complete without me - everyone's favourite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job. But every road trip blurs the lines, and I can't quite figure out if I keep pushing that flight attendant call button in order to push her buttons, or if it's more than that. STEVIE I've been a flight attendant for years. I thought I'd seen it all, but when my new job lands me onboard working for the most egotistical and self-righteous diva in the NHL, I start to second guess everything. Including the promise I made to myself of never hooking up with an athlete again . . . no matter how annoyingly tempting he may be. Evan Zanders is unfiltered, unapologetic, and too attractive for his own good. He loves his image, but I hate everything about it. Everything but him.

Hazel Lark's life is low drama, controlled magic, and absolutely no romance-just the way she likes it. As a witch who knows exactly how messy feelings can get, she prefers her wards strong and her heart well-protected. That is, until her coven encourages her to become a bridesmaid in her best friend Lena's wedding. It should be simple-what could go wrong? Well, her ex is the best man. Wyatt Beaumont is laid-back, charming, and surprisingly grounded for a man who is looking for an escape of his own. Being forced into a political marriage by his family was not in his five-year plan, and he's anything but excited over the ordeal. What he needs is a distraction, preferably entertaining. After a disastrous miscommunication, Hazel is on the hunt for a hot date to the wedding. And Wyatt? Pretending to be Hazel's boyfriend for a few weeks is just the distraction he needs. But between charged glances, flirty banter, pre-wedding rituals, and Hazel's antagonistic ex doing his best to stir trouble, pretending starts to feel dangerously convincing. As lines blur and walls come down, Hazel and Wyatt must decide whether they're just playing a clever game-or risking something neither of them planned to give away.

An enchanting novel about a witch who has a second chance to get her magical powers—and her life—back on track, from the national bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches . Sera Swan was once one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her great-aunt Jasmine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her magic, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her magical Guild. Now she ( slightly reluctantly and just a bit grumpily) helps Aunt Jasmine run an inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guests' shenanigans, tries to keep the talking fox in check, and longs for the magical future she lost. When she learns about an old spellbook that holds the secret to restoring her power, she turns to Luke Larsen, a gorgeous historian who might just be able to help her unlock the book’s mysteries. Luke, who has his own reasons for staying at the inn, never planned on getting involved in the madcap goings-on around him and certainly had no intention of letting certain grumpy innkeepers past his icy walls, so no one is more surprised than he is when he not only agrees to help, but also finds himself thawing . Running an inn, reclaiming lost magic, and staying one step ahead of the watchful Guild is a lot for anyone, but Sera is about to discover that she doesn’t have to do it alone... and that the weird, wonderful family she’s made might be the best magic of all.
