Can there be too many pieces to piece back together?
This
is a question Keira faces every day. It’s impossible for her to go
anywhere unaccompanied by her cousin, the only person who knows what
happened on that horrific night a year ago. The guilt and pain weigh her
down every day. Unwilling to open up to anyone and give someone a
chance, she lives in solitude.
For her, that’s the only way to live.
Liam
struggles with his own demons. After losing someone who means the world
to him, he combats his anger and pain on a daily basis. He dives into
violence and sex, losing himself more and more. But as soon as he meets
Keira, he recognizes the same pain he suffers every day. And he pursues
her, wanting to connect to someone who understands.
Keira can’t put herself back together, and neither can Liam. But can they do it together?

UNBREAKABLE by Abby Reynolds
______________________________
Abby Bartlett is the
quintessential nice girl. Between teaching, volunteering, completing her
PhD, and helping her best friend raise his daughter, Abby never gets
the chance to be anything but nice. That is, until the
all-wrong-for-her man she's only ever known from afar starts daring her
to simply take that chance for herself. His sage advice? Try something
wild and fast.
Preferably him.
An unbridled, hotshot
attorney with a not-so-little black book, Connor Sullivan has earned
himself quite the bad boy reputation. But in his defense, he's a very
conscientious one. He knows far too well that sometimes in life, love
isn't enough...or worse, not even a factor at all. To avoid that
misery--and repel the drama--Connor always makes his one and only rule
crystal clear right from the start. Absolutely nothing more than a
month.
Turns out, a whole lot can happen in one month.

The instant connection she shares with Jason is no secret, but what
they're keeping hidden from one another is. Will these two be able to
find a way to trust each other or will their secrets tear them apart?

AWAY by B.A. Wolfe
______________________________
I didn’t believe in love at first sight, until I first saw Lucas Kade.
I
was giving swimming lessons to children when I first saw him. Turns out
one of the kids was Lucas’s little brother. So, I’d be seeing a lot
more of Lucas. And that was just fine with me.
I had a lot going
on—a freshman at an elite college, first time away from home, and, oh
yeah, roommates with a girl I’d been sent to spy on. I wasn’t exactly
looking for anything exclusive. Something casual, though, would be
great.
But there was nothing casual about my feelings for Lucas.
He was a townie, hiding a secret, and I knew better than to get involved. I was always the sensible one, the peacekeeper.
Before I knew it…I was In Too Deep.

For twenty-one year-old
Gemma, life has never been normal. She knows nothing about her past and
has been haunted by the same monsters in her nightmares for the last few
months. Unemotional and numb to life, she feels disconnected from
everyone. Until the very first day she cries. After that, nothing in her
life is the same.
Her emotions slowly surface and she starts
experiencing love, happiness, and anger, feelings she never knew
existed. But they leave her confused and she doesn’t know whether to
embrace them or run away from them.
Her life only gets more
complicated when she meets Alex. Sexy, arrogant, and secretive, Alex can
get under Gemma’s skin like no one can. Yet she’s drawn to him by an
invisible connection she has no control over. She’s also seen him
before. In her nightmares.
Every part of Gemma’s mind is screaming
at her to stay away from Alex, but every other part of her is begging to
get close to him. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes Alex
knows more about her than he originally let on.
As secrets about her
past unravel, Gemma’s life becomes threatened. She needs to figure out
what’s going on, before she winds up dead. But the only person she can
turn to for answers is the one person she isn’t sure she can trust.

When a knee injury ends
twenty-year-old Quinn Rowland’s pro tennis career, he’s not only dumped
by his hot Russian girlfriend but ordered to attend college by his
disinterested billionaire father. A rich kid who’s not used to being
disappointed by life, Quinn and his sociopathic half-brother Sebastian
create a frat house game intended to treat girls how they see them—as

one of her sorority sisters into therapy earlier in the semester—but
the game and his charm bring them closer together and soon she starts to
believe there’s more to Quinn than people think.
But what if the more is something darker than a game of toying with emotions and breaking hearts?
Quinn
and Emilie might be falling for each other, but there are secrets he’s
not ready to tell—and lifestyle changes he’s reluctant to make. She
willingly stepped on the court, but if Emilie finds out she started out
as nothing as a pawn in Quinn and Sebastian’s twisted game, she might
never forgive him.
To his surprise, Quinn finds that he might
finally care about someone more than he cares about himself…even if that
means letting Emilie walk away for good..

Kidnapped. Taken to a private island.
I never thought this could happen to me. I never imagined one
chance meeting on the eve of my eighteenth birthday could change my life
so completely.
Now I belong to
him. To Julian. To a man
who is as ruthless as he is beautiful – a man whose touch makes me burn.
A man whose tenderness I find more devastating than his cruelty.
My captor is an enigma. I don’t know who he is or why he took me. There
is a darkness inside him – a darkness that scares me even as it draws
me in.
My name is Nora Leston, and this is my story.

TWISTED ME by Anna Zaires
______________________________
Years before Trip Wiley
could be seen on movie screens all over the world, he could be seen
sitting in the desk behind me in my high school English class.
This
was back in 1990, and I cite the year only to avoid dumbfounding you
when references to big hair or stretch pants are mentioned. Although,
come to think of it, I am from New Jersey, which may serve as
explanation enough. We were teenagers then, way back in a time before
anyone could even dream he’d turn into the Hollywood commodity that he
is today.
In case you live under a rock and don't know who Trip
Wiley is, just know that these days, he’s the actor found at the top of
every casting director’s wish list. He’s incredibly talented and
insanely gorgeous, the combination of which has made him very rich, very
famous and very desirable.
And not just to casting directors, either.
I
can’t confirm any of the gossip from his early years out in Tinseltown,
but based on what I knew of his life before he was famous, I can tell
you that the idea of Girls-Throwing-Themselves-At-Trip is not a new
concept.
I should know. I was one of them.
And my life hasn’t been the same since.

VIVAN'S LIST by Haleigh Lovell
______________________________
He told me to say when,
but I can’t. Not with Andrés. It’s so hard to say anything when he’s
trailing feather soft kisses down my neck, or when his touch sends hot
currents of lust rippling across my skin.
Then there’s the way
he smiles and offers soft words of encouragement when I’m creating art,
almost like he believes I have talent.
He’s not like any guy
I’ve ever met. Not like my ex-fiancé. Not like my father. He’s got me
thinking that maybe we can have something more. More than just lust,
degradation, and abuse.
And now I’m scared, because that means I’ll have to trust him with more than just my body, but with my heart, too.

you lost everything? If the people who were supposed to love you
unconditionally were no longer there for you, how would your world
change?
Madeleine Becker lost everything when her parents died
when she was ten years old. Ripped from her home and everything that she

love.
That theory is blown to pieces when she meets Reid Connely
during her freshman year at college. He is gorgeous and darkly
mysterious. He understands Maddy's pain all too well, but sharing his
pain would mean breaking down the walls he put up around his own heart.
Conflicted between loving Maddy and hiding his dark past, Reid starts to
reevaluate his world. Maddy's inner strength, snarky personality and
breath taking beauty help Reid to make peace with his past.
Together they find out what happens when they let love in.

Tally
Landon just wants to escape her tragic story if just for one night. She
doesn't count on meeting Lincoln Presley, Stanford's baseball wonder,
but plans to add him to her long list of one-night stands. That's the
plan. Lying to him about her age and her name is just a part of her
don't-get-emotionally-attached style. She doesn't count on being found
out, nor on ever seeing Linc again or falling in love.

she's told, he's in far too deep to ever really let her go.
When
fame and lies tear them apart, one truth remains; and fate, most
definitely, has a different set of plans. This much is true.

Today was my thirtieth birthday. I was single. I knew he was single too.
