Fate brings together a ballet teacher and a hockey player in this big-hearted novel about second chances and taking risks…
by the bestselling author Entertainment Weekly calls the "master of witty banter." Once upon a time teenage Aurora Evans met a hockey player at the Mall of America. He was from Canada. And soon, he was the perfect fake boyfriend, a get-out-of-jail-free card for all kinds of sticky situations. I can't go to prom. I'm going to be visiting my boyfriend in Canada. He was just what she needed to cover her social awkwardness. He never had to know. It wasn't like she was ever going to see him again...

Mike's honesty about his struggles with widowhood helps Aurora confront some of her own demons, and the two forge an unlikely friendship. There's just one problem: Mike is the boy she spent years pretending was her "Canadian boyfriend." The longer she keeps her secret, the more she knows it will shatter the trust between them.

"Irresistible...Filled with surprise, poignancy, and excitement, this is a surefire winner." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) A brilliant and witty drama…
about two brave female World War II veterans who survived the unthinkable without ever losing their killer instinct...or their joie de vivre. Meet the Williamson sisters, Britain's most treasured World War II veterans. Now in their late nineties, Josephine and Penny are in huge demand, popping up at commemorative events and history festivals all over the country. Despite their age, they're still in great form—perfectly put together, sprightly and sparky, and always in search of their next "excitement." This time it's a trip to Paris to receive the Légion d'honneur for their part in the liberation of France. And as always, they will be accompanied by their devoted great-nephew, Archie. Keen historian Archie has always been given to understand that his great aunts had relatively minor roles in the Women's Royal Navy and the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry, but that's only half the story. Both sisters are hiding far more than the usual "official secrets". There's a reason sweet Auntie Penny can dispatch a would-be mugger with an umbrella. This trip to Paris is not what it seems either. Scandal and crime have always quietly trailed the Williamson sisters, even in the decades after the war. Now armed with new information about an old adversary, these much decorated (but admittedly ancient) veterans variously intend to settle scores, avenge lost friends, and pull off one last, daring heist before the curtain finally comes down on their illustrious careersMathéo à contre-courant

Once, I knew this girl who sent a video of herself to her brother's best friend...while she was hopped up…
on pain meds. And he didn't reciprocate her feelings. Sounds like a hilarious story, right? WRONG. This really happened...to ME, Melanie Taylor. That was five years ago, so I'm over it—over him. At least, I thought I was...until West got traded to the D.C. Eagles and moved to the same city as me! Oh yeah, did I forget to mention my brother's best friend is Weston Kershaw? An incredibly talented and famous professional hockey player? Of course, I set out to avoid him completely but end up going to one of his games—against my will, I might add.

Keeping things professional with my employees has never been an issue. Until she waltzed onto my property. Billie is talented.…
She's mouthy. And she's so damn tempting. I can't stop thinking about all the ways I could take her down a peg. I can't stop thinking about her, period. We clash from the moment we meet. And in a small town, on an even smaller farm, it's hard to keep your distance. It's even harder to keep that friction from turning to fire. But keeping my distance? That might be the biggest struggle of all. Because Billie is the whole package, whip-smart with a body I fantasize about when I'm alone, and quite possibly the only woman who can save this business-and me. She drives me crazy. In every sense of the word. Every smart-mouthed little comment-every game we play-I end up wanting more. Wanting her closer. With me. Under me. I try not to let her get to me, but the more time we spend together the more I crave her. Her lips. Her trust. Her heart. I want it all. But at what cost? Because suddenly I don't just want to win races, I want to win the girl. Contains mature themesFangirl down: A novel (Big Shots #1)
