Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. Nicknames become real names, and Meg knows she's getting better at identifying safe houses. Her crush discovers that Morse code, like writing, is a safe way to say a Sleeper's name. It's the night after learning it that Meg wakes up just as the nightly rain is starting. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

Raised by a narcissistic mother and a drug-dealing dad who stole her car and went on the lam, June has worked her way through college as a bartender in her parents' bar. She has a weakness for one-night-stands and a gift for reading a customer's taste before their butt hits the barstool, a fine skill by anyone's measure. Just days before snagging her master's degree and her ticket to freedom, June meets CABE FRANKLIN, a hazel-eyed hottie with humor and a surprisingly level head. He's in town long enough to make a business deal, and he doesn't leave until June is properly intrigued. But June's future plans go south when her mom decides to bail on the bar biz, dropping a load of legal problems in June's lap. Cabe, who happens to be in the real estate biz, helps June find her missing father so she can sell the bar, which happens to sit on a prime piece of beach property. Is their hook-up destiny? Or is it a cheap shot? The Bartender's Guide To The Galaxy follows the sexploits of an independent woman as she navigates everything the universe throws at her, including egos the size of Jupiter.

He's undercover. She's under him. All the pieces to Carrie's life were finally falling into place. She had a great career, a handsome fiancé, a house of her own. Everything was perfect until she met sexy, seductive Nick Granger, her fiancé's new coworker. Nick is as intriguing as he is charming, and though Carrie's never cheated once in her life, she finds it nearly impossible to resist him. When a supposed-to-be one-night stand turns into an ongoing affair, Carrie finds herself trapped between marrying the man she thinks she loves and leaving him for the man she can't say no to. But when her fiancé's secrets start to unravel, Carrie discovers he isn't the perfect, faithful man she thought he was. However, Nick has secrets as well. EXCERPT: "Nick," the man said with a flirty smile, taking my hand in his and pressing his lips to the back of my hand, lingering momentarily and then letting go. I felt my face heat up and suddenly wished I'd piled on the foundation so that no one would notice how extreme the blush creeping up my cheeks was. "Nice to meet you," I said quietly, hoping my voice didn't really sound as shaky to everyone else as it did to me. "Likewise," Nick said, keeping his eyes locked on mine. I started to wish I had worn a dress that wasn't so revealing. I loved this dress because it showed off my figure and my cleavage perfectly and made me feel like a model. But under Nick's stare, I felt naked, and by the looks of his smirking expression, he probably wished I was. © 2017 Evergreen Books. All rights reserved.
