Upon opening the box, they discover an ancient locket with a photo of Marie Antoinette, a vial of perfume, and an old map. Attraction simmers between Lisette and Sheridan, helped along by their scheming assistants, and the clues they discover in the bookstore lead them on a hunt across Canada for buried treasure. Best third date ever. But as the weeks go by, the trail grows cold, and Sheridan wants to return to her waiting patients. Lisette has been walked away from before, and she isn’t letting Sheridan give up the hunt—or, it seems, her too. Will the map to love prove to be the greatest mystery of all?

Jackson Leigh Stock transporter Tobie Mason is driving a trio of valuable thoroughbred racing mares from Kentucky to a California farm when her rig becomes involved in a multiple vehicle pileup, and the most valuable of the three escapes to join a herd of wild horses. When she seeks help to recover her horse, everyone in the small town nearby gives the same answer: Go see Wild Maggie. Maggie Wilkes has been tracking and keeping records on the area’s wild horse herds since she was old enough to ride. She has no problem with working horses that are treated well, but the racing industry is near the top of her blacklist. That’s why she has no intention of helping Tobie Mason recover her escaped mare even though the heat growing between them comes from more than their differing points of view. They can’t agree on anything. There’s no way they’re going to fall in love, right? Read more $9.99 ADD TO CART ## Scandalous By Kris Bryant Hollywood is full of scandals…what’s one more? When Amelia’s identical twin sister, Zoey, asks her to step in for her at a conference for supernatural TV shows while she auditions for a blockbuster movie, Amelia reluctantly agrees. She could use the money to keep her mini highland cow rescue, Mizzou Moos, afloat. She can pretend to be famous for twenty-four hours. What could possibly go wrong? Lindsay Brooks hates playing babysitter to the stars, but that’s part of her job as assistant producer for the breakout show Thirteen Witches. Things get confusing when sparks fly between her and one of the main leads at the con, and all hell breaks loose when evidence surfaces of the actress and her identical twin switching places. Everyone’s in an uproar about getting duped, but Lindsay’s more concerned about finding out which twin she made out with. That kiss made her melt and no one else has ever made her feel like swooning, but tracking Amelia down and getting to the truth might change the course of her career. She’s prepared to lose her job, but losing her heart would be scandalous. Read more $9.99 ADD TO CART ## The Art of Love By Ali Vali **In the game of love, there can only be two winners.** Architect Jolly Andolini has built her career on both award-winning structures and meaningful connections—but has no talent for it when it comes to her love life. Margot "Mimi" Mulle’s star is rising in the art world, and she’s finally getting her big break with her first major gallery show. Thrilled, she invites Jolly as her date. But when gallery owner Bianca Griffin sets her sights on Jolly, she’s determined to win her affection, even if it means upsetting Mimi. Sparks fly, loyalties are tested, and hearts collide as they navigate the unpredictable nature of their hearts. In the art of love, will destiny decide who belongs together? *Content advisory: infidelity* Read more $9.99 ADD TO CART ## The Other Side of Forever By Kel McCord Singer-songwriter Kenzie McCall thrives on freedom—writing what she wants, when she wants, for whoever she wants, with no strings attached. Deadlines? Not her thing. Commitment? Even less so. But when a movie studio offers her best friend, pop sensation Braxton, a starring role if Kenzie writes the theme song, she reluctantly agrees. There’s just one catch: the song has to be about love, and Kenzie has never truly fallen for anyone. Rachel has life mapped out: white picket fence, two kids, a dog, and a marriage filled with spark—and is determined to find someone who wants the same future. When Rachel hears Kenzie sing for the first time, the connection is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. But how can she plan a future with someone whose life is anything but stable? Kenzie is constantly jetting off to meet with celebrities, and Rachel’s cozy suburban dream feels like Kenzie’s worst nightmare. Will they be able to write their love story together, or are they destined for different endings?

When Dr. Gianna Walford finds her girlfriend in bed with another woman, she needs a new start and Cliffside, a small seaside town in Oregon, is just the place. Getting to know her patients on a personal level and making old fashioned house calls is a nice change from hospital bureaucracy. On one of those house calls, she meets the beautiful but mysterious Kiera. She’s kind and unassuming, but extremely guarded and private. Intrigued, and determined to help Kiera’s ailing neighbor, Gianna makes numerous visits, only to discover more than she bargained for. Jenny McAllister witnessed a murder, escaped a killer, and reinvented herself in Cliffside as Kiera Davenport. So when Gianna arrives and interests her, first with her good looks and compassion, and then her relentless curiosity, Jenny is more than unnerved. With a killer searching and willing to do anything to silence her, she can’t let anyone close or her real identity will be discovered.

Lucy Crowne and Tanner Laszlo have low expectations when they stumble upon a lottery ticket and agree to split any winnings, but life quickly turns upside down when the fantasy of riches becomes reality. Lucy used to be an eternal optimist, but she’s been stuck. Stuck in a dead-end job with a misogynistic boss. Stuck with an ex dragging their feet in a divorce. She’s desperate for a change, but how does she make it happen? Tanner doesn’t want to change. She enjoys her construction superintendent job, traveling from city to city every few years for the next development project. With no plans to ever settle down, Tanner doesn’t even realize something might be missing.

Read more $9.99 ADD TO CART ## Iceberg By Gun Brooke A recent widow, Lady Arabella Grey hires the young and unconventional Zandra Lancaster as governess to her children. Despite Zandra’s impressive recommendations, Arabella is skeptical and unimpressed by Zandra’s youth and artistic nature. But Zandra is brilliant with her daughters, and Arabella’s inexplicably drawn to her. Zandra harbors secret reasons for needing this position, and when she reciprocates their attraction, her feelings escalate. Impropriety abounds as she craves Arabella’s company and increasingly intimate touch. An extended trip to Manhattan with Arabella and the children changes everything.

But her first day takes an unexpected turn when she walks into new faculty orientation and discovers that Callie Shaw—her unforgettable one-night stand from the local Pride festival—is also the dean of advising. Callie loves guiding students through the chaos of academia, even if it means dealing with clueless professors. She goes with the flow, and her covert *Shit Professors Say* social media account provides an outlet for chronicling faculty missteps. Dating one, though? Definitely not on her syllabus. Mutual attraction proves hard to resist, and technically there’s no rule against faculty-staff relationships. But between campus politics and Callie’s secret, policy might be the least of their problems. Can Hudson and Callie navigate office hours and off-the-clock romance, or will their shot at love turn into an epic fail? Read more $9.99 ADD TO CART ## It's Kind of a Bad Idea By Sarah G.

After ending her eight-year relationship with Matt, her no-stress college boyfriend, she is out on her own for the first time in her adult life and finally ready to embrace her true sexuality as a lesbian. Only, she has no idea where to start. What’s an overthinker to do? Enter Annika, renowned serial dater.

Over the course of Maia’s wedding year, from engagement party to dress fittings, to bachelorette and bridal shower, Annika and Gabi must decide if what they have is worth keeping, or if they need to rip out the stitches of their relationship at the seams.

So, of course, the intoxicatingly beautiful new art teacher Bianca Harper has an equally perfect butch wife already on her arm.
