As the years pass, Alex and Penny develop a friendship. But it becomes harder and harder for them to ignore their undeniable chemistry, no matter how forbidden it is.

Broken Romeo (Shattered Hearts #1) by Katana Collins Release Date: November 30, 2023 About Broken Romeo I was looking for a job, not a Romeo… because everyone knows how that story ends. I’ve got three hundred bucks left in my bank account, two jobs, and one final chance to make it as an actress in New York City. After years of being a chorus girl, I arrive at my first Broadway audition for a leading role thinking I finally have a shot at making it...until I come face to face with the director, Holden James—the rich quarterback from college who broke my heart and stabbed me in the back three years ago.

In this cutthroat business, I need to remember the truest theatrical lesson of all: For never was a story of more woe... than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

Delightful Sins (North Shore Stories #3) by Lola King Release Date: November 30, 2023 About Delightful Sins She betrayed them and ran away. They want their revenge. In a town where all that matters is loyalty to your gang, I’ve been labeled a traitor. I ran away from the North Shore the day I knew I wasn’t safe there anymore. I left behind the people I thought were my family, my friends, my crew: the Kings. Mainly, I turned my back on the two men who once meant everything to me. I might have known Elliot and Ethan since we were children, but I betrayed the brothers in more ways than one. Or at least I would rather them believe that than know why they should truly want me dead. I should have known no one escapes the Kings. The most powerful gang on the North Shore never planned on letting me go. It doesn’t matter that I ran as far as I could, they found me now, and they’re taking me back to a town that holds my darkest secrets and most haunting memories. Where everyone hates me, w
