Agent Pickle Ryan Maximus Walker has no badge, no plan, and definitely no business going undercover. But when a sharp-eyed captain picks him for a mission to infiltrate Blackwood High and expose a student-led drug ring, Ryan is forced to play teenager again-this time, with a fake ID and real danger. What starts as a messy mission turns stranger when he crosses paths with Avi Dawson, a quiet storm of a girl whose presence digs up memories he didn't know still mattered. She doesn't ask questions-but she sees too much. In a school wired with secrets and shadows, Ryan must balance teenage drama, criminal chaos, and a growing pull toward someone as unpredictable as the mission itself.

An actress since she was fourteen years old, Paige Lockwood finds herself craving a little normalcy after a scandal rocks her otherwise predictable world. With everyone in her life attempting to control her, she takes matters into her own hands and leaves town without so much as a plan or a destination. But the destination finds her as car trouble forces Paige to settle down in a small Southern town as she waits for repairs. There she meets the handsome, albeit standoffish, Tatum Montgomery, and both of their lives are forever altered as they learn that sometimes when you aren't looking for love, it finds you anyway. The real question is: Can you hold on to it when you're from two completely different worlds?

Set after the events of Blount's debut memoir, Once Upon A Road Trip, this short story anthology focuses on the unusual courtship of Angeli and Vincent. When Angeli left Minnesota on a post-high school road trip, all she wanted was to see the East Coast and finally meet some of her online friends. She didn't expect to end up in a long-distance relationship with a computer-savvy Southern boy. Yet Vincent seems determined to defy the odds. To prove his intentions, he sets off on his own quest to visit Angeli and win her family's approval. But along the way he'll have to contend with her offbeat friends, trigger-happy father, and a few questionable run-ins with Northern hospitality. South meets North this time around, and "normal" isn't anywhere on the map. With a thousand miles and radically different upbringings between them, can Angeli and Vincent forge a forever-worthy bond? Or are the roadblocks they face too much for either of them to overcome?

She wanted the world to know her name. He just wanted to disappear from it. Isla Finnich is a rising model grinding her way through Los Angeles, desperate to break out of local shoots and influencer gigs and into global campaigns. She's got the look, the talent, and the hunger - but not the fame. Until one scandalous opportunity changes everything. Ryan Kinnard is Hollywood royalty. Gorgeous, guarded, and freshly shamed after a very public breakup, he needs a reputation fix - fast. The solution? A contract. One perfect, photogenic, "off-limits" relationship to distract the press. And Isla is exactly what his team is looking for. Fake dating him could launch Isla into the international spotlight - if she plays it right. But Ryan isn't the scripted, polished heartthrob the world thinks he is. And the longer she spends pretending to love him, the harder it is to remember where the lie ends and the truth begins. With careers on the line, secrets leaking to the press, and feelings that won't stay buried, Isla has to decide what she's willing to risk: her heart, her dreams... or both. Fame is a game. Love was never part of the plan.

Sofía never planned to stay in Barcelona. She definitely never planned to spend her days constantly crossing paths with Lamine Yamal - the city's golden boy, FC Barcelona's rising star, and the one person she can't seem to avoid. What starts as pure annoyance turns into a connection neither of them expected, as meddling family, persistent coincidence, and undeniable chemistry threaten to blur the line between enemies and something much deeper.

Wade Phillips shattered Lisa McGinty's heart in Year 10 for no known reason. One minute he was the perfect boy-next-door boyfriend, star goalie on the soccer team, and future head prefect. The next he was like a different person altogether, dumping Lisa and systematically making his way through every girl in our year. By Year 12, he'd made it through most of the girls in our year and was on to the year below. He'd miraculously made Head Prefect and was somehow still on the Soccer team, even though he put more effort into partying. Lisa and I were used to his sarcastic teasing, his shallow taunting, and his insincere flirting. My best friend put on a brave face in front of him, but she still felt the sting. I knew she still loved him. At least, she thought she did. I kept waiting for her to see he wasn't worth it. No one knew what happened to Wade and no one got close to him anymore. Not until a life-altering incident throws me unavoidably into his path. For one single second, I see through the armour he's built. It takes just one single second for him to see through mine. Something connects us. It turns out, Wade Phillips might be the only one who understands me. It turns out, I might be the only one who understands him. Wade Phillips might be the guy to teach me the art of breaking up, but will my heart - and Lisa's - break in the process?

*full available on Amazon. Free in KU.* You've read Hannibal's side. Now, read mine. Cole Fielding just wants to take care of his little brother without getting anyone else killed. Then, he sees Aurora Daniels. His Hannibal. He wants her but she sees right through him - she's beautiful, funny, intelligent and damned sexy. But, she doesn't fight him as hard as she could. As Cole fights a growing attraction to more than just the body, his past catches up with him. Can he finally be free of it? Is she his Gray's Blade? Author's Notes: The two books in the No More Maybes series can be read in any order, but it is suggested to read them in publication order to gain the full impact. Much like the differences between Cole and Aurora, Cole's POV is rougher, darker, and dirtier than Aurora's - Cole is an angry young guy who swears a lot and has a tendency to react to serious situations with flippancy in order to keep some distance. So, it is recommended for Mature YA readers.

When her friends bet she can't get a bad boy to fall for her, she agrees to the wager. Enter Bash Baker; Mitcham College's cherry popper. He's the most egotistical, stereotypical jerk in the whole school. Either Bash's fragile male ego is popped by the formal, or Paige has to give Mia's nerdy cousin his first French kiss. Bash is Mitcham College's Cherry Popper; he's popped more cherries than Casanova in all of Venice*. But there's one cherry his mates bet he'll never get. Enter Paige Nicholls; the school's 'it' girl. Never one to shy away from a bet, Bash agrees to his mate's wager. Either Paige's cherry is popped by the formal, or Bash gives up his title to the nerdy band geek in the year below them. It's War of the Romance as Paige and Bash try to seduce the other one without falling for the ruse themselves.
