When a ruthless former colleague returns to Emerson Publishing House, junior editor Natalie finds her career - and her secret feelings for her boss - put at risk, especially when he breaks their own no-dating rule with five devastating words: 'You complicate everything for me.'
***
Natalie has worked too hard to lose her dream job now, not after fighting her way into one of the most respected publishing houses in the world. But when Danika, the colleague who once tried to sabotage her, returns unexpectedly, Natalie feels the ground fall from beneath her feet.
To make things worse, Julian - her impossibly controlled, unreadable boss, and the man she's been secretly in love with for months - seems to welcome Danika back in with open arms. And when he takes their newest high-profile manuscript away from Natalie and hands it to Danika instead, it feels like a punch.
Then one quiet moment outside the office changes everything.
Julian steps too close, and confesses something he shouldn't.
Now Natalie has to keep her job, protect her heart, and pretend she didn't hear the one thing that could ruin them both.

62 Letters to You
As a last-ditch effort to heal her heartbreak, Lyla starts writing letters to the most popular boy in school, who also happens to be a contender for valedictorian and captain of the football team. But before all that, he'd just been James. Her James. It isn't until Lyla has amassed a notebook full of letters to him that she starts to realise maybe the whole reason she can't stop writing is because their story isn't finished, after all. But, like life, it might not have the happy ending she's been holding out for. Or maybe it does... and it's just with the last person she ever expected.
He's A Total Scrum-Bag.
Isabelle Remington wants absolutely nothing to do with the man who broke her heart and then cruelly tormented her months after they ended their relationship. In fact, it appears to her that he hasn't changed a bit from the troubled boy she knew; still short tempered, impulsive, aggressive with a tendency to get into fights. He's bad news and she wants no part of it. Adrian Adler comes face to face with the woman he lost nearly twelve years ago when she is hired as the PR manager for his rugby team. A woman he still loves and yearns for with every breath. The problem? The scandal he's facing is the career ending kind, and certainly not the best impression to make upon the love of his life. If only she hadn't waltzed back into his life under such unfortunate circumstances, he may have been able to convince her that he wasn't the same asshole who had taken her for granted. But having lived more than a decade without her, he can't just let her walk away without fighting tooth and nail to convince her to give him a second chance. Her guard is up and she won't make it easy. But he's made a living off of breaking through defences.
Goodbye Heartbreak (Book 4 Goodbye Series)
This isn't your average meet-cute. In fact, it's not cute at all. Rowan Ward is a tattooed florist with a soft heart and a sharp tongue. He likes his solitude, craves his routines, and absolutely panics when his roommate announces he's moving to California. Past trauma makes change feel like a threat, and Rowan doesn't do well with being left behind. Piper Kerrigan is fresh off a fallout with her sorority sister, a college scandal that scorched her family ties, and a sudden eviction that leaves her scrambling for a new place to live. She's just trying to stay afloat while working for event-planning royalty Savannah Monroe Remington and pretending everything's fine. So when Rowan offers up his spare bedroom, Piper is... hesitant. Because it's Rowan. Mysterious. Moody. Tattooed in ways that should not be legal. But also Rowan is safe, gay (probably), and weirdly comforting. Two single roommates. One shared space. Zero romantic expectations. They bond over caffeine, sarcasm, and their mutual hatred of Valentine's Day. But when Piper misreads a key piece of Rowan's identity, what started as a safe arrangement quickly starts feeling like a threat, to her comfort, her rules, and her no-dating-roommates policy. Because this isn't a love story built on fate or convenience. This is an anti-meet-cute. And things are about to get very, very complicated.Lengkap

Scott Remington thought he knew how his life would go: a perfect wedding, a perfect wife, a future planned down to the last monogrammed cufflink.

Savannah Monroe has made a career - and an art form - out of chaos. As a top-tier event planner with a sharp tongue and sharper heels, she's built her own empire one perfectly orchestrated crisis at a time. She's also the last person Scott ever expected to collide with again - let alone hire. When a high-profile project throws Scott and Savannah together, their scorching past - one night neither of them wants to admit meant everything - threatens to unravel the careful lives they've rebuilt. Forced to work side by side, they'll have to navigate old wounds, new grudges, and a chemistry that's equal parts poison and cure. But some goodbyes never stick. And sometimes the one person who knows exactly how to break you is the only one willing to put you back together - piece by messy, magnificent piece.Lengkap

Freewheeling
Sapphy Mitchell needs a holiday. Ten years of sleeping with the same nightmare has taken its toll on her health, her relationships, and most significantly, her ability to live the life she had been given, twice. With her parents' shared sixtieth birthdays just one month away, Sapphy sees it as the perfect opportunity to put her hard-earned confidence to the test. And so, armed with a suitcase full of self-help guides and enough sedatives to drop an elephant, she manages to get herself on to a flight back home to Australia. Port Douglas, in Far North Queensland, has changed so much since Sapphy was last there a decade ago, that she hardly recognises the tropical idyll where she grew up. What she does recognise though, is the incredibly good-looking, but infuriatingly blunt, owner of the bar at the bottom of her street. She just can't figure out where from. Can a few home truths, a couple of second chances, and one unfathomable coincidence bring together two people who believe they have absolutely nothing in common?
