"Harriet and Wyn have been the perfect couple since they met in college—they go together like salt and pepper, honey and tea, lobster and rolls. Except, now—for reasons they’re still not discussing—they don’t.

They broke up six months ago. And still haven’t told their best friends."

set the stars alight by amanda dykes

"Lucy Clairmont's family treasured the magic of the past, and her childhood fascination with stories of the high seas led her to become a marine archaeologist. But when tragedy strikes, it's Dashel, an American forensic astronomer, and his knowledge of the stars that may help her unearth the truth behind the puzzle she's discovered in her family home."




starling house by alix e. harrow

"Welcome to Starling House: enter, if you dare."




the unmaking of june farrow by adrienne young

the wolf and the dove by kathleen e. woodiwiss

"Noble Aislinn grieves as the Iron Wolf and his minions storm through her beloved Darkenwald. And she burns with malice for the handsome Norman savage who would enslave her. . . even as she aches to know the rapture of the conqueror's kiss."




you had me at hello by mhairi mcfarlane
