The Butterfly Codeby Sue Wyshynski

My friends say Hunter’s dangerous.
They say he’s a threat to everyone in Deep Cove.
Yet as he stands before me in this darkened club
with the lights swirling around us,
I’m not so sure.
I see something different under his mysterious facade.
Something decent and good.
I don’t know who or what to believe.
But I will find out the truth.

Small towns aren’t always what they seem. For Aeris Thorne, Deep Cove isn’t exactly a safe haven–despite what she thinks. Behind the pretty horse pastures and charming barns, secrets are churning. When Aeris goes poking into places she doesn’t belong, she digs up a host of trouble. The biggest problem? The man at the heart of it all, Hunter Cayman, has caught her interest in a way she can’t ignore. But whose team is he on? Is he playing for the good guys? Or is he bad to the core?

“Warning!!! Seriously this book will take over your life once you start reading so plan ahead if possible, it is that engrossing.”

Inheriting Edith: A Novelby Zoe Fishman

A poignant breakout novel, for fans of J. Courtney Sullivan and Elin Hilderbrand, about a single mother who inherits a beautiful beach house with a caveat—she must take care of the ornery elderly woman who lives in it.

For years, Maggie Sheets has been an invisible hand in the glittering homes of wealthy New York City clients, scrubbing, dusting, mopping, and doing all she can to keep her head above water as a single mother. Everything changes when a former employer dies leaving Maggie a staggering inheritance. A house in Sag Harbor. The catch? It comes with an inhabitant: The deceased’s eighty-two-year old mother Edith.

Edith has Alzheimer’s—or so the doctors tell her—but she remembers exactly how her daughter Liza could light up a room, or bring dark clouds in her wake. And now Liza’s gone, by her own hand, and Edith has been left—like a chaise or strand of pearls—to a poorly dressed young woman with a toddler in tow.

Maggie and Edith are both certain this arrangement will be an utter disaster. But as summer days wane, a tenuous bond forms, and Edith, who feels the urgency of her diagnosis, shares a secret that she’s held close for five decades, launching Maggie on a mission that might just lead them each to what they are looking for.

Aidenby Ali Parker

I’ve never been that great with women.

Wait. Hold up. That’s not necessarily true. I’ve always been good with them physically. But at a certain point, that’s not enough.

And that point is now.

I never thought I would get to a point where I wanted more. But here I am. Single, living alone, and still missing my dead cousin who, if he were still alive, would give me shit for still being single and living alone.

But when I saw her singing along to a song I didn’t know and strumming her fingers on the wheel of her expensive Mercedes, I needed to know more about her. I needed to know her name. How she walked. How her lips looked when she said my name.

I never imagined that one conversation with her would change my entire life–and put me in the crosshairs of a man who has been making her life a living Hell for the last few years.

Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t know who the f*ck I am and what I’m willing to do for the girl who stole my heart the first second I saw her.

We Belong Togetherby Weston Parker

The one that got away… and now she’s back in my life.

And in the oddest way. This beautiful woman is working to take over–fast. As if!

Like the guys I work with might listen to her.

But crazily enough, they do. All of them.

Except me.

She’s too sweet and innocent.

Or that’s how I remember her. But she’s all grown up now.

My best friend’s little sister is jacking up my life.

And now, I hear she’s saving herself for marriage and not interested in dating casually.

I’ll change her mind.

Funnily enough, she starts to change mine instead.

Casually doesn’t sound like so much fun anymore.

I’m playing for keeps.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
