'The audacity of this magical author duo to sneak in and steal Christmas in the sexiest way possible . . . the charming holiday romp you absolutely need in your life!' TESSA BAILEY



'The holiday romcom of my dreams! Sexy, progressive, hilarious, and full of good cheer' HELEN HOANG

When Bee Hobbes takes the lead in a squeaky-clean romantic Christmas movie, there are only three rules:



1. Don't get involved with anyone on set.

2. Don't tell anyone what you do for a living.

3. Definitely don't get involved with anyone on set.

3b. Seriously.



Now, she's filming in Christmas Notch, a small town with Christmas trees and festive tunes all year round.



But Bee's got a secret identity to hide, and it's not family-friendly. And her co-star, Nolan Shaw, an ex-boyband member infamous for his own x-rated antics, not only knows it, but is secretly her biggest fan.



When things start to heat up on set, Bee and Nolan must keep this steamy affair under wraps, or risk ruining everything . . .

A Graphic Novel





From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes this irresistible treat, a charming and jaunty graphic novel, based on story snippets peppered throughout a number of her books. Originally mentioned in It's in His Kiss--one of the Bridgerton novels which inspired the smash Netflix series Bridgerton--Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron is finally told here in its entirety for the first time.

A madcap romantic adventure, Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron has appeared in several Julia Quinn novels and enthralled some of her most beloved characters. Now this delicious tale of love and peril is available for everyone to enjoy in this wonderfully unconventional graphic novel.

Born into a happy family that is tragically ravaged by smallpox, Miss Priscilla Butterworth uses her wits to survive a series of outlandish trials. Cruelly separated from her beloved mother and grandmother, the young girl is sent to live with a callous aunt who forces her to work for her keep. Eventually, the clever and tenderhearted Miss Butterworth makes her escape . . . a daring journey into the unknown that unexpectedly leads her to the "mad" baron and a lifetime of love.

Delightfully illustrated by Violet Charles, told in Julia Quinn's playful voice, Miss Butterworth and the Mad Baron is a high-spirited nineteenth-century romp that will entertain and enchant modern readers.

After spending their lives overcoming adversity, can Marcos and Eva handle this latest threat? Even more perilous might be their losing battle against forbidden attraction.

Nash Ellis knows music. Producing, performing, writing-if it involves the creative process he's there for it. He knows nothing about copy machines. Or financial reports. Or anything related to the stuck-up business world his best friends have been chasing since they were kids. But Nash also needs money, so when his roommate gets him a paid internship at Reedweather Media, he reluctantly agrees. At least his know-it-all intern competitor is kind of cute in a nerdy-librarian sort of way-especially when she's being tormented by an angsty rocker she can't stand. The only thing Paige Andrews hates more than failure? Nash Ellis. She has little patience for incompetence and zero tolerance for indifference. He clearly doesn't belong in their corporate world, so why does he insist on ruining her dream job? And the worst part-he's not what he seems. In fact, it's all the things he's hiding behind those electric blue eyes that make him straight-up captivating in an ironic-slacker sort of way. But their smoldering friction bursts into open flames when the feuding interns are forced into a high-stakes mission that requires intimate knowledge of the music industry. Yep, what could go wrong when the least-qualified candidate to ever walk the halls of a major corporation becomes their only hope of success?

My record label had one rule... and I broke it. In my defense, "don't fall in love with your producer" isn't exactly fair when your producer is Val Andrews, a sweet, talented, totally genuine prince in an industry of egotistical frogs. It's especially not fair when your forbidden crush becomes a constant temptation while on tour with a vengeful ex and an enigma named Chad. All I want to do is make incredible music and show the world I'm more than a vapid starlet. But when a cryptic memo reveals a sinister plot to destroy my career, it becomes clear there's only one person I can trust-the one they said I can't have.

Before Hannah was a 9-5 working, dinner making, homebody, she was Ashton James: a paparazzi-stalked pop star with more enemies than friends. These days she has one priority: keeping her sister safe and away from the public eye. Hannah was doing a great job, until the pesky little brother of an ex-fling discovers where she is, and wants her help launching his career. Now she has to trust Johnny-whom she betrayed in more ways than one-to protect her whereabouts. Johnny may have an infuriating moral compass and the timing of a storybook hero, but is he immune to the temptation of revenge? Johnny's focus has always been his music business, and a bad influence like Hannah is the last thing he needs at work, or around his brother. But some things are too powerful to be stopped. For someone like Hannah, second chances-in life and in true love-don't exist. She didn't think so, at least. Johnny is about to prove her wrong, and being wrong has never felt so right.

Alice Clayton

Looking for the perfect mix of smart, sexy, and sassy? Mai Tai'd Up continues New York Times bestselling author Alice Clayton's Cocktail series, which began with Wallbanger and continued with Rusty Nailed and Screwdrivered.

The gossip mill in the seaside community of Monterey is churning about Chloe Patterson, the newcomer who is starting a sanctuary for rescued pit bulls. It's rumored that she's a former beauty queen (true) who ditched her fiancé the morning of their wedding (also true). And that while she's not looking for a new man, the good-looking local veterinarian has his eye on her. Absolutely, positively true.

When Lucas Campbell isn't at the family veterinary clinic, he's paddle boarding in Monterey Bay. Recently single, he's definitely not in the market for a new relationship, but he still can't resist taking a second, third, and fourth look at the recent arrival of Miss Golden State.

Neither Lucas nor Chloe has any interest in being tied down. Being tied up, however--now there's a thought. But are a few Mai Tais, a moonlit night, and the music of Frank Sinatra enough to allow them both to forget their past? Let's hope Ol' Blue Eyes knows what he's doing.

Mix one part tiki, one part kinky, and a splash of old black magic matchmaking, and it's time to be . . . Mai Tai'd Up.

"Lady Evangeline Raine, eldest daughter of the Earl of Oberton, has no interest in marriage. Stubborn and unconventional, Effie is a committed spinster who prefers animals to people, much to the dismay of her flirty younger sister Viola. Because their father has one rule: Viola may be courted, only if Effie is. Saddled with debt, Gage Croft, the antisocial and ascetic Duke of Vale, is determined to rebuild his ducal estates. When the owner of his vowels offers him a fortune to charm the impervious Lady Evangeline for the season so Lady Viola can be courted, the game is on, even if it means pretending to seduce an unusual, eccentric wallflower. But seduction is a double-edged sword, and Gage gets much more than he bargains for in an adversary who is as sound of mind as she is of spine, and wants to make her own scandalous arrangement. Effie will go to London for the season, but only if he agrees to be her lover"--
