Hell’s Heart<\/a><\/center>
They are monsters, legends, gods.<\/p>\n

They are our prey.<\/p>\n

Earth is dead. Which leaves us stuck living in atmospheric domes on planets that will kill us if we blink wrong, or run out of fuel. And by \u201cfuel\u201d I mean \u201cthe cerebrospinal fluid of gargantuan, quasi-psychic space monsters\u201d.<\/p>\n

I joined the hunt hoping to get paid and maybe laid, but mostly paid. Instead, I followed a captain chasing abominations in the skies of Jupiter.<\/p>\n

We battled the M\u00f6bius Beast itself, there in the red eye of the world.<\/p>\n

Spoiler: we lost.<\/p>\n

Mistakes Were Made<\/a><\/center>
He\u2019s looking for the perfect wife. She\u2019s looking for the perfect one-night stand.<\/p>\n

Literary agent Zoey Moody has been exiled from the Manhattan publishing scene to small-town Pennsylvania with her best friend and only remaining client, romance novelist Hazel Hart. Zoey\u2019s bank account is running on fumes, forcing her to liquidate her designer wardrobe to make ends meet.<\/p>\n

But this plucky heroine has a plan to climb her way back on top. Nothing will stand in her way.<\/p>\n

Okay. Nothing except her six-foot-two-inch blue-collar landlord, Gage Bishop. He\u2019s smart, serious, and sexy. When he isn\u2019t practicing law, he\u2019s working with his equally attractive brothers in the family construction business. Worst of all, he\u2019s ready to settle down.<\/p>\n

Zoey might be the most beautiful, infuriating woman Gage has ever met, but her special brand of chaos makes it clear they\u2019re all wrong for each other. She\u2019s allergic to commitment and afraid of animals. He\u2019s looking for a wife and lives in a literal barn. (For clarification, it\u2019s a converted barn. But he does live there with a golden retriever who doesn\u2019t understand the concept of personal space.)<\/p>\n

These opposites can attract all they want. They both know it will never work out. <\/p>\n

The A to Z of Everything<\/a><\/center>
Poppy and Rose used to be close as sisters could be\u2014until everything went wrong. Now in their forties, they haven\u2019t spoken in years. But when their vivacious, glamorous, powerhouse of a mother dies, they are both faced with the shock of grief. However, their mother was not one to go shrinking into the night. No, their mother, Andrea, has left them a project to work on together: a sort of scavenger hunt through their lives, which she calls the A to Z of Everything. Her final wish: to heal the fractured relationship between her daughters that broke her heart.<\/p>\n

A is for Ashes. C is for champagne. D is for Daddy Issues. But when they get to F for Forgiveness, can they make a start, even when they can barely look at each other?<\/p>\n

With Andrea\u2019s wicked sense of humor and wild stories from her acting career, she has left the quest in a series of boxes filled with letters, recordings, videos, mementos, and instructions.<\/p>\n

Never Spar with a Viscount<\/a><\/center>
The rules are simple: fake a relationship and solve a mystery. That should be easy … right? <\/p>\n

Ivy Bennett has escaped the marriage mart once already\u2014by becoming a governess to the new Lord Brackley\u2019s unruly little sisters. Spending her days in the schoolroom and her nights running a secret self-defense class for women, she has absolutely no interest in a husband. So when Ivy is handed a secret assignment by the spymaster known as the Dove, she sees an opportunity: fake a courtship with the enigmatic Owen Brackley to avoid her conniving father\u2019s attempts to marry her off, complete the mission, and finally secure her freedom. Simple. Until it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n

Women across London are succumbing to a strange madness, and they all share a connection to Brackley\u2014the same man who looks at Ivy like he sees right through her and is none too bothered by her lack of ladylike charm. As Ivy gathers gossip like breadcrumbs and dodges increasingly dangerous attempts on Brackley\u2019s life, she realizes two things: someone wants the viscount gone, and the closer she gets to the truth, the harder it is to tell what\u2019s real and what\u2019s just part of the game. <\/p>\n

A hidden painting. A buried past. A legacy waiting to be uncovered.<\/p>\n

Buenos Aires, Present Day: Paloma, Nayeli\u2019s granddaughter, stumbles upon a mysterious painting depicting her grandmother as a young woman. The artist\u2019s identity is unknown, but the artwork\u2019s existence threatens to unravel long-held family secrets. As Paloma delves into her grandmother\u2019s past, she uncovers a tale of passion, betrayal, and resilience that challenges everything she thought she knew about the one woman who raised her.<\/p>\n

Once and Again<\/a><\/center>
The women of the Novak family were each born with a gift: they can, just once, turn back time.<\/p>\n

Lauren has known since she was fifteen that her mother Marcella saved Lauren\u2019s father from a deadly car accident. Dave is alive and happy, and out on the Malibu waves. But ever since, Marcella, her power spent, has lived in fear of what she won\u2019t be able to reverse. Her own mother, Sylvia, is her polar opposite: a free-spirited iconoclast with a glamorous past she only hints at. Lauren has spent her life between these two role models\u2014and waiting for her own catastrophe to strike.<\/p>\n

Then one summer, Lauren\u2019s husband takes a job in New York and she moves back to Broad Beach Road, back into her childhood home on the shores of Malibu. Lauren looks forward to surfing with her dad again and perhaps repairing an unspoken fracture in her relationship with her mother. What she doesn\u2019t expect is for the boy next to door to return home as well: Stone, Lauren\u2019s first love, who broke her heart nearly a decade before.<\/p>\n

As Lauren falls into familiar patterns, with her family and, more dangerously, Stone, she finds herself thinking about all the choices, large and small, that have brought her to this moment. And wondering, finally, if one of them should be undone.<\/p>\n

The Starter Ex<\/a><\/center>
Vanessa Cordero used to run a profitable side gig: For a reasonable fee, she\u2019d date your crush . . . and make his life miserable. Too clingy? Check. Jealous? Check. A parent’s worst nightmare? Triple check. By the time Vanessa was done with him, your guy was practically begging for you.<\/p>\n

Enter Jason Torres, a certified commitment-phobe who doesn’t plan on getting married anytime soon, much to his mother\u2019s dismay. What he needs is a temporary girlfriend. A totally inappropriate girlfriend. Someone his mother will hate, so she’ll finally abandon her dream of getting him to the altar.<\/p>\n

Vanessa’s younger sister, Lisa, has her eye on Jason, and convinces Vanessa to come out of retirement for one last starter ex engagement. The rules are simple: no touching, no fooling around, and definitely no falling in love. But nothing’s going according to plan. Because Vanessa can’t ditch Jason no matter how hard she tries to scare him away. And the longer they’re around each other, the more neither of them wants to be apart.<\/p>\n
