A spicy standalone novel from New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy! In tight quarters, anything can happen... Fresh off a six-month deployment, Navy SEAL Cash McCoy is determined to end his celibacy streak with a night of down and dirty fun. Instead, he gets an interrupted hook-up with a hot blonde who vanishes without a way for him to contact her. When he's asked to keep an eye on-and hands off-his commanding officer's sister for a few weeks and guard her from a psycho-stalker ex, Cash accepts the assignment as a distraction...and gets the surprise of his life. Jen Scott knows she needs protection, although she's not looking forward to being babysat by some straight-laced yes-man her overprotective brother can boss around. But finding out her new roomie is none other than the sexy stranger who was seconds away from shaking her world apart? That changes everything. Orders be damned, Cash is the one man capable of helping her explore her wilder side. She's even willing to break her own rule-never date military men-to get the gorgeous SEAL into her bed. Until Cash makes it clear he wants much more than she bargained for. Not just her body, but the one thing Jen promised herself she'd never give to a man in uniform: her heart.

A twisted tale of sadistic Sorcerers and the monsters they create. In a city so dismal it's known only as "the Hole," a clan of Sorcerers has been plucking people off the streets to use as guinea pigs for atrocious "experiments" in the black arts. In a dark alley, Nikaido found Caiman, a man with a reptile head and a bad case of amnesia. To undo the spell, they're hunting and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole, hoping that eventually they'll kill the right one. But when En, the head Sorcerer, gets word of a lizard-man slaughtering his people, he sends a crew of "cleaners" into the Hole, igniting a war between two worlds. Caiman has left the Hole behind for the Sorcerers' dimension in an attempt to unravel the mysteries of his past. As the Sorcerers' "Blue Night" festival draws to a close, Nikaido finds herself taken captive. Supernatural crime-syndicate boss En has taken an inordinate interest in her abilities, which may be far different, and far more powerful, than anyone suspects. Oblivious to his best friend's danger, Caiman continues his quest to determine his true identity, picking up some unexpected help—and meat pies—in the process. But once he gets wind of her predicament, he makes a beeline for En's heavily guarded fortress of a mansion. Prison confessions, daring escapes, strange tattoos, unexpected reunions, and devils aplenty abound in this volume of Dorohedoro!

NATALIE SUE, bestselling author of I HOPE THIS FINDS YOU WELL 'A slim but impactful novel that will make you laugh and think' DAZED The power dynamics of the office are never more obvious than when it comes to food: mandatory lunches with the boss, the colleague who tries to curry favour with home-baked goods, discovering the discarded remnants of someone else's late-night binge . . . In their Saitama office, Ashikawa is the kind of woman Nitani knows he will likely marry: sweet, obliging, and determined to wean him off his addiction to instant noodles. But he finds himself increasingly unable to respect her - or the sugary treats she shares around the workplace, winning their colleagues' affection with baking rather than hard work. Oshio is bolder and uninhibited - she is Nitani's drinking buddy. In the oppressive office atmosphere, the pair grows closer, both outsiders struggling with the rigid status quo.

Fifteen years ago, on a rain-soaked bridge nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, two lives intersected in a moment that would forever change their courses. She was a desperate teenager seeking escape; he was a runaway with nowhere to turn. A single, fleeting kiss in the storm, and then he disappeared into the night, leaving her with nothing but a memory. Now, she is the owner of a thriving yoga and wellness studio near that very same bridge, dedicated to giving others the peace she fought so hard to find. He, transformed by years of determination and hard work, returns as a successful businessman, tasked by his boss to acquire her studio. Unbeknownst to her, the mysterious boy who once saved her life now holds the future of her beloved retreat in his hands. As he conceals his identity and true intentions, their rekindled interaction sparks old memories and new feelings. Torn between his burgeoning emotions and professional duty, he faces a dilemma: proceed with the business plan that demands he betray her trust, or listen to his heart which urges him to protect what she's built. In this sweet, clean romance, the past and present collide as secrets are held close and hearts are reopened. Will the truth of their shared history come to light before it's too late, or will the shadows of unspoken words threaten their second chance at happiness?
