Maid of Dishonor

Love, laughter, and a dead body... Juniper Bean has big plans for her writing career. Swoony kisses, sigh-inducing happily ever afters-she's going to write them all. There's just one problem: she can't seem to stop killing off her main characters. After accepting that a genre change is in order, Juniper sets out to do some research. What's the best way to carry a dead body? How exactly does one pick a lock? Juniper is going to find out-with the unwilling help of her new roommate, Aiden. But Juniper's plans go haywire when she stumbles across an actual, real-life dead body-and before she knows it, she and Aiden are thrust into the middle of a murder mystery that seems suspiciously tied to Juniper's past. Who killed the girl in the woods? Can Juniper ever get the hang of mystery writing? And, perhaps the biggest question of all: Why the heck does Aiden look so good in a tweed jacket?

A Killer Romantic Comedy

Juniper Bean Resorts to Murder

Say Yes to the Hot Mess

Things you bring on a desert island...1. Sunscreen, obviously. Because these Irish freckles of mine will burn, baby, burn, and lobster red is not a great color on me. 2. An extra dose of my seizure meds, just in case. 3. A backpack full of snacks, including but not limited to a canteen of Dr. Pepper, a box of mini Christmas cookies, and granola bars—the gross crumbly kind, not the chocolate chip kind, because I'm trying to be healthy. 4. Sunglasses, so that when I inevitably wind up staring at my brother's best friend—who I haven't seen in years—no one will be able to tell. I've been in love with him for years, but it would never work out; he lives on a literal island, while I'm still in grad school. It can't hurt to look, though, right? 5. Also bug spray. My packing list is all well and good for a quick port excursion as part of my family’s Christmas cruise. But when the cruise ship leaves me behind, with only the contents of my bag and my brother’s best friend to keep me company? Well, I’ve got problems—especially since I'm going to run out of medicine soon. And I don’t think they make sunscreen strong enough to block the sparks that are growing between Beckett and me...

A Not-so Holiday Paradise

One girl. One boy. One bargain...Mina: Look, I'm no social butterfly. I don't care what the extroverts say; talking to people is scary. I'd rather hang out with my books than actual human beings. Books don't call you names or dump water over your head in the cafeteria. But high school is almost over, and I'm realizing I have nothing to show for it but good grades. I need to come out of my shell if I want to get the attention of a certain football player, and I'm going to need help. My neighbor Cohen is the man for the job. Sure, his attractiveness makes me nervous, and yes, he smells obnoxiously good all the time, but it's fine. I've got this. I mean, probably. I've probably got this. Cohen: Mina's got a thing for my buddy Jack. I've got a thing for getting into a good college. My plan is simple: I'll help Mina get Jack's attention if she'll tutor me for the ACT. No big deal, right? But working with Mina isn't going to be easy. Her social skills are iffy at best, and don't get me started on her (lack of) flirting skills. It's a good thing she makes me laugh, because we're going to be spending a lot of time together...

Move It or Lose It

City of Love

Stella Partridge never expected to move back to her hometown. She never expected to be a house-sitter for the twelve days leading up to Christmas as a desperate bid to earn some extra money. And she definitely never expected to recognize the thief that breaks into the house she's watching: Jack Piorra, her childhood best friend, the one who turned cold and distant overnight and never told her why.
Jack insists there's something in this house that belongs to him. But Stella's not going down without a fight--not in house-sitting, and not in love. If only locking the windows and doors could keep Jack from stealing her heart...

Five Stolen Rings

"Heidi Lucy has a secret--a big one. A scary, dangerous, ugly one. There's just one problem: thanks to a mysterious head wound, she can't seem to remember what that secret is. In order to regain her lost memories, Heidi sets out to retrace her steps--followed grudgingly by Soren, a faithful patron of her little bookshop and the less-than-thrilled recipient of the cryptic voicemail she can't remember leaving. But her journey gets derailed when one of Heidi's customers drops dead in the middle of her shop, and it isn't long before both Heidi and Soren come under suspicion. Something fishy is going on in Sunshine Springs, and if they want to find the truth, they're going to have to hunt for it themselves. Who killed the woman in Heidi's bookshop? What secret has Heidi forgotten? And, maybe the most crucial question of all: Who gave Soren permission to look so good in a man bun?"--Back cover.

Heidi Lucy Loses Her Mind

No Room in the Inn

Maya Ellis: New mom. Retirement community member. Avoider of men. Am I single? Yes. Am I ready to mingle? Not even kind of--especially now that I have my son to think about. My dating track record speaks for itself, and it is not pretty. It's a good thing I accidentally moved into a retirement community; I'm not interested in guys thirty years older than me. But now the new complex manager--the young, attractive complex manager--has realized I'm not supposed to live here, and he's trying to kick me out. It doesn't help that he's my new neighbor, or that I somehow end up pretending to be his girlfriend for his cousin's wedding. The man is insufferable. Pretty to look at--and fine, sometimes maybe a little funny--but insufferable. Good thing I have my anonymous online friend to keep me sane. He keeps my opinion of men from tanking completely... Dex Anthony: Complex manager. Secret pen pal. Clark Kent lookalike. My job as the manager of a retirement community isn't what I thought it would be. I didn't expect the senior citizen version of the black market, for example. I didn't expect feisty old women. And I definitely didn't expect Maya Ellis, a young mom who somehow managed to skirt the community age requirements. Unfortunately, Maya is my best chance at avoiding my matchmaking mother. So she'll be my fake girlfriend for two days--just two. Then my life will go back to normal: working, doing jigsaw puzzles in my sweats, and chatting with my mysterious internet pen pal. And I'll get Maya Ellis to leave this retirement community, because she's way too young to live here... Even if I'm starting to like having her around.

Say yes to the hot mess

Clementine has accidentally freed a British genie from his ancient British teapot, and she’s not thrilled about it.

However, appalled by Alaric's living conditions—and grudgingly impressed by his jawline—she vows to set him free. But before he can join the human world, he must prove he can live like a human—and he must do it in one month, or he’ll fade away for good. As Clementine and Alaric embark on a series of How to be Human lessons, and as they pretend to date in order to discourage the men trying to woo her thanks to a wish gone wrong, the two of them discover that being human is more complex than they expected—and that love can be found between the unlikeliest of pairs.
