From award-winning author Kennedy Ryan comes the soul-gripping, unforgettable first installment of the Hoops trilogy. Iris DuPree meets August West in a sports bar during her last semester of college. It's the conversation of a lifetime and sends sparks flying in every direction. The connection is undeniable...but the timing is all wrong. August is poised for the NBA draft, and Iris belongs to another man--basketball's "golden boy" and August's long-time rival. The two go their separate ways, but they often recall that electric night and what could have been. While August has embarked on his all-star life, studded with wealth and fame, Iris's perfect public relationship has become a nightmare behind closed doors. A tarnished dream of fool's gold. When August re-enters her life, the world seems briefly bright again, but Iris's darkest nights are not over yet. To survive, she must build her own strength and trust that her bond with August can endure after all this time. Even when her fraudulent prince has vowed never to let her go.

Once again brilliantly combining the lyrical observation of F. Scott Fitzgerald with the laser-bright social satire of Evelyn Waugh, Jay McInerney gives us the stunningly accomplished and profoundly affecting final volume in the tetralogy charting the marriage of Russell and Corrinne Calloway, now in their sixties, against the backdrop of various crises that have bedeviled our society in the past forty years. “McInerney’s always-sharp insights on social strata and human nature guarantee that in the midst of sadness we are also entertained.” —Los Angeles Times The celebration of the thirty-fifth wedding anniversary of Russell Calloway’s best friend, Washington Lee—the least likely monogamist of his acquaintance somehow having become over the years a model husband and father—at the Odeon in the Spring of 2020 sparks an at once funny and moving autumnal reckoning with mortality as the specter of the Covid-19 virus spreads. In this moment of unprecedented upheaval—frantic and fraught real-time response, piercing personal and political impact—the Calloways find themselves and their marriage tested in ways they could never have anticipated as fatal consequences ensue.

Welcome to Grosvenor Ranch - a century-old family legacy ruled by the Black brothers. Rugged, untamed, and fiercely loyal, these cowboys are as wild as the land they love. Beau Black is ready to take the reins. As the eldest son, he shoulders the weight of his family's cattle ranch, and raising his four-year-old twins alone after their mother's death left secrets behind. Beau and his girl's mother may not have been a love match, but duty always came first. Now, love simply isn't on his radar when his family and its legacy is his priority. Even if that means making dangerous deals - and closing his heart for good. Until his ex's long-lost sister shows up. Hallie Lockhart is a bright disruption in Beau's dusty, responsibility-bound world. When she offers to help with the twins, sparks ignite fast and fierce. Beau knows wanting her is wrong - Hallie is the twins' aunt and completely off-limits. But the longer she stays, the harder it is to deny what's growing between them. When duty collides with desire, can Beau resist the love he never saw coming?

Hope is a dangerous thing for gods. Even former ones. Hayden Harlow, once the mighty Hades, has spent centuries quietly resenting his fall from immortality. Stripped of his godhood by the allegedly irreversible Immortal Retirement Act, he now runs Harlow and Sons Funeral Home-a front for his eternal sentencing among mortals, and a bleak reminder of the purpose he's lost. Still, he's determined to claw his way back...if only the Fates at City Hall would stop toying with him. Enter Levi Wilder: a florist with an artist's heart, an infectious smile, and a gift for finding beauty in life's messiest moments. When Hayden storms into Levi's shop to complain about a bouquet of sunflowers-an offensive choice for a funeral, in his opinion-their worlds collide. Hayden is all restraint and shadows; Levi is all sunshine and charm. But beneath the clash lies an undeniable spark neither can ignore. As their connection blossoms, Hayden finds himself caught between the life he once knew and the bright future Levi dares him to imagine. But trusting Levi means risking the walls he's kept in place all these years-and it's not just his heart on the line. Because in the threads of fate, one choice can change everything.

"...it will sweep you into a glorious, romantic summer haze!" - thebookactivist A long, hot Italian summer. A duel of kisses. The rules: sparks must fly. Dreams must dance. Neither party must fall in love. In grey, 1930s England, Bea has grown up kicking against the conventions of the time, all the while knowing that she will one day have to marry someone her parents choose - someone rich enough to keep the family estate alive. But she longs for so much more - for adventure, excitement, travel, and maybe even romance. When she gets the chance to spend the summer in Italy with her bohemian uncle and his fiancée, a whole world is opened up to Bea - a world that includes Ben, a cocky young artist who just happens to be infuriatingly handsome too. Sparks fly between the quick-witted pair until one night, under the stars, a challenge is set: can Bea and Ben put aside their teasing and have the perfect summer romance? With their new friends gleefully setting the rules for their fling, Bea and Ben can agree on one thing at least: they absolutely, positively will not, cannot fall in love... A long, hot summer of kisses and mischief unfolds - but storm clouds are gathering across Europe, and home is calling. Every summer has to end - but for Bea, this might be just the beginning. PRIASE FOR UNDER A DANCING STAR "Taking its inspiration from Much Ado About Nothing, Laura Wood’s YA novel is a heady exploration of first love and self-discovery... a thoroughly charming and entertaining love story with captivating central characters." - Books For Keeps "Rapturously romantic, this dazzling novel sees a bright young woman experience unfettered Bohemianism during a life-changing summer." - LoveReading 4 Kids
