Elias Vance was a lot of things to a lot of people, but in all his versions, he was, in other words: a prick. As the CEO of Vance Designs, a highly successful architectural design company, he was often revered as one of the most desirable men. Named one of the top 20 Ceo's under 30, Elias was frequently described as enigmatic, disciplined, well-structured, and in one word a manwhore. And trust me anyone who knew him would agree. Having dated ten women in his first year as one of the top fifteen CEOs, it seemed he was finally taking the high road. Now engaged to actress Mkayla Roberts, the sweetheart of Hollywood, everyone wondered: was Elias really a changed man, or did he just hire a new publicist? Rebekah Channing had lived through plenty of shitty experiences in her life. As one of the best publicists of her generation, she was revered for fixing up the worst of the worst, but nothing could have ever prepared her for Elias Vance-the bane of her existence. Having graduated top of her class at Wharton, she agreed to fix Elias's entire image in under a year. She made the decision in a moment of agony, fueled by a whole bottle of scotch after seeing her fiancé cheat on her. So, she left London, her home of twenty-seven years, to go to New York to fix an asshole's life while her own life was falling apart. But what if leaving London was the best thing that ever happened to her? What if Elias "Douchebag" Vance was the knight in a not-so-shining armor she needed? #9 in client #1 in publicist #35 in enemies-to-lovers 🄳🄸🅂🄲🄾🄽🅃🄸🄽🅄🄴🄳

Claire Reynolds had a plan-focus on her career, avoid unnecessary responsibilities, and absolutely not become a parent. But when her best friend Megan ditches the country for a spontaneous Bali getaway with her yoga instructor boyfriend, Claire finds herself the temporary (probably?) guardian of baby Sophie. Determined to keep her life from spiraling into total chaos, Claire enlists the help of her annoyingly handsome (and infuriatingly competent) neighbor, Jake-who, as it turns out, is a pediatric nurse and way too smug about it. Jake offers to help her navigate the wild world of baby wipes, nap schedules, and the horror of assembling a stroller... in exchange for Claire owing him big time. As Claire stumbles through late-night feedings and surprise diaper explosions, she starts to realize two things: 1) Jake might be the most frustratingly perfect guy she's ever met, and 2) maybe, just maybe, she's not as bad at this whole "baby thing" as she thought. Between sleepless nights, unexpected feelings, and one very persistent baby who seems determined to bring them together, Claire has to figure out if she's ready for a new kind of plan-one that might just include love, family, and a whole lot of baby spit-up.

Sarah Summers thought she had everything figured out. But when her fathers decided to expand their family, Sarah's sense of reality slowly began to unravel. Against her will, she was forced to move across the country, and soon, everything she thought she knew was turned upside down. At her new school, she found herself entangled in a strange friend group, one where individuality seemed nonexistent. The members acted less like people and more like parts of a single, rule-bound entity. These rules pulled Sarah further and further from who she used to be, and over time, she began to forget how unsettling it all truly was. On her very first day, she was thrust into a bizarre ritual where the group chose who she would date. She had no say, not in who, not in when, not in how long and not even in whether the relationship would ever end. She had never questioned who she was or where she came from. As far as she was concerned, she knew everything she needed to know. She belonged to a loving family, and that had always been enough. But after a chilling encounter in the woods, the past began to stir, haunting her, pulling her toward a reality she had never known existed. Suddenly, the questions she had never thought to ask became impossible to ignore. Who was she, really? And where had she truly come from?
