The Unraveling of Julia by Lisa Scottoline <— ROMANTIC THRILLER! “…Lately, Julia Pritzker is beginning to think she’s cursed. She’s lost her adoptive parents, then her husband is murdered. When she realizes that her horoscope essentially foretold his death, she begins to spiral. She fears her fate is written in the stars, not held in her own hands. Then a letter arrives out of the blue, informing her that she has inherited a Tuscan villa and vineyard —but her benefactor is a total stranger named Emilia Rossi. Julia has no information about her biological family, so she wonders if Rossi could be a blood relative. Bewildered, she heads to Tuscany for answers. There, Julia is horrified to discover that Rossi was a paranoid recluse…”
Pressure Point (Lantern Beach Blackout: Detonation Book 2) by Christy Barritt <— SHE HAS AMNESIA “…When a woman emerges from Lantern Beach’s maritime forest with wounds, no memory, and no identification, she desperately wants to know who she is.

Blackout operative Atlas Manning’s protective instincts kick into overdrive the moment he encounters the injured woman. He takes her to the local clinic, but when a professional assassin targets her there, the woman’s amnesia becomes the least of his worries. As Quinn’s fragmented memories begin to surface, they paint a disturbing picture…”

Love Unmasked by Becky Dean <— TRAVEL ROMANCE!! “...People pleaser Evie Whitmore can’t believe her art and architecture class trip has brought her to Venice—home of gondolas and crumbling palazzos, and the inspiration for both her art and her hidden passion, Elven Realms, a series of novels set in the very city she’s about to explore. Rumors about an underground Elven Realms fan club swirl, and Evie, wearing a costume and mask, sneaks out at night to find it.

Then Eliza is offered the chance to start over: in Juneberry Lake, a small Midwestern town eager to lure remote workers to their picturesque community. Shocking her family and friends (and herself), Eliza packs up her apartment and buys a lake house sight unseen. Juneberry Lake is as delightful as it looked in the pictures. And the pictures didn’t even include Joel, a fellow new arrival who works alongside her every day in an adorable coffee shop...”
The Knight Falls First (Ladies Least Likely Book 7) by Misty Urban <— HISTORICAL ROMANCE FORCED MARRIAGE “…Anne Sutton has the beauty and breeding to make a gentleman’s wife, but not the dowry. When her parents offer her to the vile Calvin Vaughn, Anne does something a gentleman’s daughter would never do: she decides to ruin herself. And the best means at hand is Calvin’s prodigal older brother, Hew, lately returned from war. Hewitt Vaughn is either the hero of Acre or under a cloud of disgrace—he’s yet to find out which. He’s home to recover from his wounds and take charge of the family estates; stealing his brother’s fiancée is decidedly not a way to redeem himself. But when the lovely, desperate Anne entreats Hew’s help, how can he, as a man of honor, deny her? When Anne’s plan spectacularly backfires, the only solution is a forced marriage—to each other...”

The Odds of Getting Even: A Novel by Amanda Sellet <— HE’S RESERVED & SHE’S CHAOTIC “…The last thing reluctant resort employee Jean Harrington expected to find on a middle-of-the-night towel run was a bashful scientist in desperate need of company . . . and clothes. Charmed by his awkwardness and endearing tangents about reptiles, she returns the next day to give the handsome mystery guest she knows only as “Charlie” lessons in poker. He’s reserved and she’s chaotic, but together, the two of them just click. It’s like a honeymoon without the hassle of a wedding, until Jean discovers there’s a lot more to Charlie’s story than shyness and snakes—and she isn’t the only person with a pressing interest in his whereabouts, not to mention his secretly scandalous dating history...”
When Forty Blooms by Jacinta Howard <— SHE’S TRYING TO IGNORE THE ACHE “…A rare birthday. A second chance. A woman finally choosing herself. Simone Harris has always known how to hold it down. For her son. For her clients. For the sports agency she built from scratch. She keeps things running, keeps herself moving, and keeps her heart tucked safely out of reach. But this birthday feels different. It falls on a leap year, a date that only circles back every so often. A rare kind of day that feels like it arrives exactly when it’s meant to. The kind that makes you pause and ask what you have been pushing through just to keep going. In that stillness, something begins to surface alongside it. Fatigue. Questions. The quiet ache she has learned to ignore...”

He just doesn’t know that last part. On the rare occasions I converse with him, I get a comeback for everything. Our banter is my favorite thing. He’s so clever and quick and, again, sexier than any man I’ve ever met. But none of that changes the fact that he betrayed my brother. My family. Me. And none of those facts would matter except for my one little problem. I had this plan to save my family’s marina, which backfired. Now, my parents have given me a deadline to prove to them it’s still worth saving. If I don’t make it, they’ll sell everything, and I’ll lose my dream to keep the place. They gave me one rule: do not hire that Asher boy...”
