Across the Vanishing Sky (Starlight Grove #1) by Catherine Cowles Release Date: March 3, 2026 About Across the Vanishing Sky He spent a lifetime trying to escape his dark past…but to save her, he'll wade back into the shadows. Braedyn Winslow never expected to return to Starlight Grove―the town that took everything from her. Not after her best friend, the one who'd sacrificed so much for her, vanished without a trace. But with a young son to raise and a past that won't stay buried, Brae is back…and determined to uncover the truth. She just didn't count on the brooding, reclusive mountain man living next door. Dex Archer is the stuff of local legend―silent, rugged, and surrounded by whispers of his and his brothers' violent father. But Brae sees through the scowl and his parentage to the man beneath: fiercely loyal, unexpectedly kind…and just dangerous enough to protect her when someone starts warning her off her search. The closer she gets to the trut...

Star Shipped by Cat Sebastian Release Date: March 3, 2026 Avon Books About Star Shipped Cat Sebastian’s long-awaited foray into contemporary romance! A witty, emotional, and deliciously slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance between two costars on a popular sci-fi television series. Simon and Charlie, actors on a long-running sci-fi show, can’t stand one another. Charlie is impetuous, outgoing, and basically feral, and Simon thinks he should have stayed in reality television where he belongs. They’ve spent the better part of a decade quarreling over the spotlight and pretty much everything else, and everybody in the industry knows it. Now that Simon’s contract is finally done, he can move to New York, start fresh with work he actually likes, and get away from Charlie. Simon’s only problem is that people might assume he’s been pushed off the show due to being impossible to work with. And he is kind of difficult to work with. He doesn’t get along with people—unlike Charlie, who s...

Change the Play (Nashville Rampage #5) by Kaylee Ryan Release Date: March 3, 2026 About Change the Play NYT and USA Today bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding the Nashville Rampage football team. Change the Play is a found family, forced proximity, workplace, sports romance. Foster I learned early how to survive on my own. Keep my head down and my past locked away. My childhood taught me that nothing lasts and no one chooses you forever. So I built a life free from love—and pain. Football gave me discipline. Success gave me distance. Silence kept me safe.

Bluebird by Brooke Blaine Release Date: April 13, 2026 Cover Design: By Hang Le About Bluebird Every morning, I stop at the same gas station for coffee before my shift. Same routine. Same quiet moment before the sirens start. And the same beautiful stranger. We see each other almost every day—two men passing in the early hours, never speaking. Until one morning, we finally do. Reid is kind, easy to talk to, and someone who would never be interested in me, at least not in the way I want him to. Then the call comes in. A wreck in town. One patient critical. It’s Reid. I save his life—but the accident steals ten years of his memories. Reid doesn’t remember his past, his job, or the man he was before the crash. The only thing that feels familiar to him… is me. He trusts me. Leans on me. And as he begins discovering who he is again—he falls for me. But loving a man who doesn’t remember his life means living in fear of the moment he does. Because when his memories ret...

Note: An advance reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author. "You said I gave you a home, but it's you. Because I've never felt okay in my own skin, so scared of what I could be —"   "Dex," I croaked.   "But you made me unafraid. For the first time in forever. You made me okay with who I am." I think many readers have their go-to authors; you know, the ones whose new releases are automatic additions to the to-be-read pile, regardless of what the blurb states. And I'm not talking just somewhere on the TBR pile either. These are the books that go on the tippy-top, bumping off whatever else may have been on there previously. Well, Catherine Cowles is one of those authors for me. My very first read from her was her debut novel, a standalone titled Further to Fall . By no means was it a perfect book, but there was a great deal of promise there, the kind that made me want to see what she would give readers next. And with every series, standalone, a...
