College junior Faith Sommers is all about processes--a series of steps followed (sometimes often repeated) in order to yield a certain result. As an aspiring astronaut, the founder of her own tech company, and a full-time engineering student, procedures are absolutely crucial for success. And it works for just about everything she sets her mind to--except for anything related to relationships and love, the subjects in which she has failed twice already. But that was before the term "meet-cute" took one too many turns when she encountered fellow third year Aidan Lim--by chance, through mutual friends, and to her dismay--by teamwork. The idea of building, assembling, and operating a robot together for the annual Wayfinder Tech Competition provides the perfect final design for sparks to fly after Aidan proposes a fake dating plan to combat Faith's skepticism about love. ----------------- CONTENT WARNING This book mentions or refers to the following heavy topics: flashback memories of recovering from an abusive relationship, slight description of sexual harassment (unwanted touching), discussions of mental health topics (anxiety, eating disorder recovery), racism & sexism, sexual content (fade to black), death (off-page & threats), and an unintentional queer outing by the main character's father. ----------------- Word Count: 72,000 words Character Art © 2021 by Evie Etherington Cover Design © 2021 by M.R.

Asterin, the daughter of a renowned marquis famed for her arresting beauty and vivacious spirit, was ensnared in an affair with the Emperor despite his initial marital ties with another women. In the genesis of their secret relationship, he showered her with unparalleled affection, whispering sweet vows to elevate her to the revered status of concubine and adore her for all eternity. However, destiny harbored a cruel twist. Upon the triumphant return of the grand duke, a figure whose name was synonymous with tyranny and brutality, a magnificent ball was orchestrated in honor of his war victories. In there, the Emperor declared an unforeseen reward. He proclaimed that Asterin would be bestowed upon the grand duke as his bride in recompense for his valorous deeds. It was at this harrowing juncture that Asterin discerned the insidious truth-that she was but a pawn in a monarch's game, a fragile plaything now callously discarded to endure agony at the hands of a cruel consort. What path lay before her now? With silent resolve, Asterin vowed that she was going to prove to the sovereign that she will have a happy marriage despite the rumors.

AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2024❤️ I can only see half of his face, reflected in the mirror at the front of the bus, and part of that is obscured by the peak of the black company-branded cap he's wearing. But I can see enough to glean that there's a strong jaw covered in scruff. A wide mouth that looks like it would be prone to smiling. He's wearing glasses with trendy light tortoiseshell frames, and I can't quite discern the colour of his eyes from my position . . . but some weird intuition is telling me that they'll be hazel, and I wonder when my brain is going to catch up. Because I *know* him, don't I? I'm almost certain of it. And he seems to know me, too. Or at least he thinks he does. The way he's glancing over at me lets me in on that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mirren Shepherd has *many* pet peeves. Top of the list, though? Staycations . . . And surprises. So when her girls' trip abroad is cancelled at the last minute and she finds herself roped into a minibus tour of Northern Scotland instead, she isn't remotely happy. And when she finds out who their guide is . . . It's yet another reason for her to dislike surprises. Because Owen Sullivan wasn't so much the one who got away . . . He was the one who just didn't return. And, after she finally got over him, she never expected to see him again. Mirren would prefer to leave the past in the past, but Owen is determined to try to right his wrongs. Can she trust him? Can she trust *herself*? Maybe, just maybe, this surprise - and staycation - won't be as bad as Mirren thinks . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~
