Tier 2

Eight friends. One holiday. A party that will change their lives forever. When Karl and Nicole hosted their first New Year's party, they never imagined it would become a recurring holiday tradition with the same college friends for the next ten years. But when Karl's brother Mike dies in a head-on collision on his way to Karl's house for the celebration, their hodgepodge group of party guests finds themselves bonded forever through an unexpected shared trauma. To honor Mike's memory, they make a pact to hold a New Year's Party each year, no matter what the circumstances. Amanda Reynolds had no idea she wouldn't get to ring in the year 1999 when she hopped into the passenger seat of Mike's car that night. As she slipped in and out of consciousness, she couldn't have guessed that her boyfriend was tragically gone and her life was about to change forever because of friends she hadn't even met yet. Evan was sitting in the living room with his girlfriend Amy when Karl got the call from the hospital. Not knowing what else to do, he rushed after his best friend to the hospital and-trying to calm Karl's worried mother-ended up sitting alone in a stranger's room, gripping her hand while she clung to life. Can one night in a hospital room forge a bond strong enough to fight for? Is it possible for friendships to truly stand the test of time?

But This Time in Paris

Let's Try This Again

Their magic is divided. Protected with a purpose. Some see light... Some see only darkness... In order to uphold a delicate balance of power, the two bloodlines shall never mix. Paladin never thought much of being a Balancer. It was what he was born to be; it was his destiny. But, when he finally accepts his consecration and awakens his power, he discovers destiny has other plans... Rayelle has taken longer than most Blessing Givers to reach her consecration and receive her sight. She's dedicated her entire life to the Prophecy and Order. There is no other way, only the way of the Goddess. But when Paladin is banished from his enclave, Rayelle sees a vision she can't purge from her mind. Mixed blood. Forbidden. Fate has thrown Paladin and Rayelle together for a reason, but the more questions Rayelle asks, the further she falls from the truth she's been taught. If the Order is right about him...her heart is dangerously wrong. The Blessing Giver is an enemies-to-lovers, tantalizing forbidden romance. For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout, this new fantasy series will leave you breathless.

Three months. One contract. Will it be enough to save a marriage of twenty-eight years? Walter Winslow thoroughly enjoyed his orderly and predictable life. He left for work at exactly the same time each day, ate the same thing for lunch, and returned home to revel in the comfort of a home-cooked meal and his favorite programming on the telly. Though not particularly thrilling, his life was utterly comfortable. That is, until one day, Wendy--his wife of twenty-eight years--asked for a divorce. Wendy Winslow had spent her life doing exactly what was expected of her. She got an education, married a sensible man, birthed two lovely boys, raised them to adulthood, moved across the Atlantic to Colorado to be a part of their lives, and then...she had no idea what came next. Somehow, in the child-rearing and homemaking, she'd forgotten everything about herself and then some. Now living in a strange country with a life that felt anything like her own, she desperately needed to rewrite her story...and was fairly sure there was no room for Walter in it. In a hail-Mary attempt to salvage their marriage, Walter proposed a three month do-over in what he knew was Wendy's dream location: Paris. With contract in-hand, Walter makes the most terrifying leap of his life to chase the woman he thought he'd be with forever. But it may be too little, too late. If you love complicated characters, risks worth taking, and unexpected romance, you'll love Gunderson's next uplifting and heartwarming read.
