Braedyn Winslow never expected to return to Starlight Grove — the town that took everything from her. But with a young son to raise and a past that won't stay buried, she's back and determined to uncover the truth about her missing best friend. She just didn't count on brooding, reclusive mountain man Dex Archer living next door.
As Brae digs deeper, someone starts warning her off, and Dex — fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind, and just dangerous enough — becomes the only person she can rely on. Suspenseful, emotional, and full of slow-burn tension, Across the Vanishing Sky is a gripping start to Cowles' newest series.

Monty is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur fast. A sizzling, heartfelt sports romance from the author of the TikTok sensation Windy City series.
If You Keep Me (Toronto Terror Series) by Helena Hunting

Tally did the unthinkable — she propositioned Flip Madden, the most notorious reformed playboy in pro hockey, to take her virginity. Of course, he said no. He's almost a decade older, she's still in university, and she's his coach's oldest daughter. It will never happen.
Except Flip is more protective than ever, his eyes follow her around every room, and he brings flowers to her recitals. Forbidden, angsty, and full of tension, If You Keep Me is the perfect finale to the Toronto Terror series.
Love Song (Briar Universe: Campus Diaries) by Elle Kennedy
Expected publication: 17 March 2026
Series: Campus Diaries (Briar Universe Standalone)
After a brutal breakup, college junior Blake Logan escapes to her family's lake house in Tahoe, determined to shut out the world. Her plan is simple: no men, no drama. Until Wyatt Graham shows up — four years older, far too good at getting under her skin, and the guy who shattered her pride when she confessed her crush at sixteen.
With his music career stalled, Wyatt has come to Tahoe for inspiration. The last thing he expects is to find it with Blake. Forced proximity, childhood crush tension, and Elle Kennedy's signature heat make this a standout next-gen Off-Campus romance.

From New York Times bestselling author Rina Kent comes Hunt the Villain, a dark MM mafia rivals-to-lovers romance set in the Legacy of Gods universe. Two heirs to notorious mafia organisations are shoved together in an unorthodox setting. What starts as hate at first sight deepens into something forbidden — and dangerous.
Two men can't be together in their world, but neither can stay away. Grumpy meets chaotic sunshine, obsession meets longing, and every limit gets blurred. Dark, intense, and emotionally devastating.

In everyone's life, there's a split-second decision that can change everything. For Larissa, it came when choosing who to ride home with after a concert.

She went with his best friend, and he became her boyfriend.
All Chris wants is for Larissa to be happy, but standing on the sidelines is slowly killing him. A compulsively readable slow-burn romance full of pining, heartbreak, and Abby Jimenez at her emotional best.

Tyler Neumann has spent years looking for his father — not to meet him, but to destroy him. He'll manipulate whoever he can to get his revenge, including Stella McCormick. She's everything Tyler hates — wealthy, privileged, and protected her entire life. Forced to play the part of his girlfriend and infiltrate her family's glittering circles, Stella quickly clocks Tyler's ulterior motives.
But love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and soon neither of them can tell which is worse: the blackmail or the fact that they can't keep their hands off each other. Dark enemies-to-lovers tension meets laugh-out-loud rom-com chaos in the third Into Darkness novel.
