By Kennedy Fox. 2020
I saw her first. Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty. I was smitten. But it didn't matter because she chose him, and he…
was my best friend and roommate. I'd never be able to compete with that, so I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn't have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. Now, I'm screwed. To her singing in the shower every morning, dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can't stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways. She's not mine and never will be, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to push her against a wall and claim her mouth. She's constantly on me for making messes, bringing chicks home every weekend, and being a smartass when their PDA gets on my nerves. Considering neither of them knows how I feel, the way I act toward them isn't fair. I should move out so I can get over her for good; however, the selfish part of me can't let go. But then the unthinkable happens... When my best friend dies in a motorcycle accident, the two of us are left to grieve our loss together. Instead of pushing her away, I pull her closer. Just as we come to terms with our new reality, she finds out she's pregnant with his baby. And I'm left to make the hardest decision of my lifeBaby yours (Hunter & Lennon Duet #bk. 2)

Now I'm living with his roommate, the guy who's made my life a living hell the past two years. Hunter's now the one to hold me up when all I want to do is fall. Knowing my religious parents will never accept the pregnancy out of wedlock, Hunter offers to be my fake husband. While I think he's gone crazy, it's the only plan that'll keep them in my life. So I do whatever it takes to make our relationship believable-kissing, touching, even letting him hold me when we sleep. The lines are so blurred neither of us want to admit we're no longer pretending. The guilt of what we're doing eats me alive as I struggle to deal with my emotions. I push him away, but he pulls me closer, showing me how he's always felt. Just as I begin to follow my heart, I learn Hunter's been keeping secrets. And I'm left to make the hardest decision of my lifeGive me love (Give Me #bk. 1)

By Phoebe Wynne. 2021
Phoebe Wynne's Madam is a riveting, modern gothic debut with shades of The Secret History , The Stepford Wives ,…
and a dash of Circe , set at a secretive all girls' boarding school perched on a craggy Scottish peninsula. They want our silence... They want our obedience... Let them see our fire burn For 150 years, high above rocky Scottish cliffs, Caldonbrae Hall has sat untouched, a beacon of excellence in an old ancestral castle. A boarding school for girls, it promises that the young women lucky enough to be admitted will emerge "resilient and ready to serve society." Into its illustrious midst steps Rose Christie: a 26-year-old Classics teacher, Caldonbrae's new head of the department, and the first hire for the school in over a decade. At first, Rose is overwhelmed to be invited into this institution, whose prestige is unrivaled. But she quickly discovers that behind the school's elitist veneer lies an impenetrable, starkly traditional culture that she struggles to reconcile with her modernist beliefs—not to mention her commitment to educating "girls for the future." It also doesn't take long for Rose to suspect that there's more to the secret circumstances surrounding the abrupt departure of her predecessor—a woman whose ghost lingers everywhere—than anyone is willing to let on. In her search for this mysterious former teacher, Rose instead uncovers the darkness that beats at the heart of Caldonbrae, forcing her to confront the true extent of the school's nefarious purpose, and her own role in perpetuating it. A darkly feminist tale pitched against a haunting backdrop, and populated by an electrifying cast of heroines, Madam will keep listeners engrossed until the breathtaking conclusion. A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press "Imagine if Donna Tartt and Margaret Atwood got together to write a creepy, suspenseful novel about a school for young women in the Scottish Highlands...Brooding and unsettling, Wynne paints a gorgeous picture that only serves to camouflage the dark secrets she's hidden within."––Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author of Whisper NetworkAftermath
