Releasing: April 6, 2023
Cover Design: Emily Wittig
He’s mine…don’t ever forget that.
Milo lives in the barn, a cowboy through and through. I live in a castle, but I’m not a princess.
When the only person who loves me dies, Milo’s there. As I get older, I no longer look at Milo like a big brother. I look at him like the man God made just for me.
With the first glimpse of freedom from my pathetic excuse for a father, I imagine a future with Milo. I dream of the day when we won’t have to hide our feelings.
But Milo has a secret. He is not free. The man I love is marrying the woman I hate.
Jewel is a Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author with a quirky sense of humor. When she’s not saving the planet one tree at a time, you can find her role modeling questionable behavior to her three boys, binge-watching Netflix with her husband, and writing mind-bending romance.
North Boston Universityās star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.
And now?
Heās my new roommate.
I used to think I loved him.
But that was before I hated him.
He doesnāt remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldnāt have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist.
āThe Pit,ā as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either.
But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, Iāve learned to ignore him ā no matter how heās tried to get under my skin.
At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I canāt refuse.
Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess.
Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? Itās impossible.
Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.
Heās broken my heart once.
I won’t let him do it again.

Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.”
She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

Releasing: March 7, 2023
Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn’t have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too… Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren’t part of the deal. Our agreement didn’t just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

But hockey heartthrob Jasper Gervais isnāt looking at me like a friend anymore. And he isnāt touching me like one either.
To his fans, heās the handsome, talented athlete on TV. To me, heās still the lost boy with sad eyes and a heart of gold.
The man Iāve loved in secret for years.
So when my life falls apart on my wedding day, it only makes sense that heās the one to swoop in and save me. And when his world comes crashing down around him, Iām there to return the favor.
But the more time we spend alone, the more Jasper doesnāt feel like a friend at all. He feels like everything Iāve ever wanted and thought I could never have.
Our feelings arenāt straightforward though. They twist and turn around the pain of his past and the reality of my present.
Jasper Gervais acts like he wants me.
But after years of turning me away, heās going to need to prove it.

From New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes a new standalone romance.
Rule number one for dating your best friendās sister: Donāt.
Just donāt do it.
Especially when your best friend is dead and the last thing he made you promise him was that youād keep an eye on his little sister, but not too good of an eye.
As a musician whose longest committed relationship was six weeks, I, Holden Catalano, was the last guy on Earth who shouldāve been messing around with Laney Ellison.
The super smart girl whom I affectionately dubbed Lala since childhood was always off limits.
Though that didnāt stop me from thinking about her over the years, especially those times when the two of us would sneak out onto the roof and talk for hours after my buddy fell asleep. It was innocent, but Iād always held a torch for her.
After Ryan passed away, I vowed to always protect Lala. That included protecting herāfrom me.
Now all grown up and a scientist, Lala needed a place to stay when she accepted a temporary research position in New York. I thought I did the right thing by offering her an apartment in the building I co-owned with my three friends.
Except having her close by reignited all of those old feelings.
And things started to get complicated.
Especially since she was engaged.
And especially since, lately, Iād noticed something more in her eyes. Desire.
Lala didnāt exactly look at me like the platonic brother figure I was trying so desperately to be, even though I wanted her more than Iād ever wanted anything.
Yet, I was being goodāon my very best behavior.
But you know what they sayā¦all good things must come to an end, right?
