For five years, vengeance fueled me, keeping me alive through the darkness. Every move I made was calculated, every step bringing me closer to the justice stolen from me.
But I didn’t see the cost — not until it was too late.
My actions have put Imogene’s life in danger. The man I used to be can’t save her. The monster I became might destroy us both.
Now, the line between right and wrong is blurred beyond recognition, and the clock is ticking. One wrong move will cost me everything. Imogene, my redemption, and the future I never thought I could have.
They say love demands sacrifice. But how much more am I willing to lose?

When I find out I need one more class—one I know nothing about—I decide to hire a tutor to help me through it. But as soon as we get into our lessons, I realize I want her to teach me much more than the curriculum suggests.

Life hasn’t always been easy, but things are beginning to look up. I’m the starting goalie for the BU Wolves, Coach Baylor has become the family I have always wanted as a kid, and my dream career is waiting for me. All I need to do is defend my net for the next few seasons so I can prove to the Boston Bruisers that they drafted me for a reason. That’s a pretty bright future for a man with a past like mine.
When I hit up a party with a bunch of my roommates, I never expected to fall hard. But from that night on, it’s out of my control. Maggie Baylor is the one for me, no matter how much she tries to deny it.
Just when I think we’re getting somewhere, she ghosts me. But there’s one thing Maggie doesn’t understand: I’m not letting anything or anyone—not even Coach—stand in our way.
Maggie
As a transfer student, I have one goal: finish my senior year without any drama. And, ok…I may have lost sight of that goal before the year officially started. But that’s not my fault—Hottie Gym Shorts Guy was…well, hot. And sweet. And so very talented. That’s why I bolted the next morning. I didn’t move back home to fall in lust or worse, love. I came back to Bainbridge to spend time with my Uncle Hudson and earn my degree.
Besides, there won’t be any drama because I’m never going to see him again.
Except I do. We just keep running into each other. It’s fine, though. I can resist.
Until I can’t. JT is crumbling all my defenses. I’m on the verge of letting myself fall in love, even if I know my uncle will disapprove, when two little pink lines appear. I brace myself for impact because the only thing I know about love is that it doesn’t last.
But JT doesn’t leave my side. He slays my dragons and rubs my feet and makes me reconsider everything I thought I knew.
Is this really something I can believe in, or will our world come crashing down just when we need each other the most?

I’ve had a thing for Ivy Scott since I first laid eyes on her a year ago. She’s smart, sexy, and everything I’ve ever wanted.
Too bad she was engaged to one of my best friends.
But that idiot leaves her at the altar.
So, as one of the groomsmen, I have to be there for her, right?
Even if that includes a cross country road trip with the other two groomsmen—her best friend, Liam, and my best friend, Harrison–-to the beach house she’s inherited in South Carolina.
Sure, her car is tiny, she’s massively hungover, and Liam and Harrison hate each other (despite hooking up almost a year ago) but this will be fine.
But then I find out Liam’s in love with Ivy too.
And we’re caught in a rainstorm after a night in a Texas honky tonk, and the only option is to stop at a motel with just one room left—and only two beds for the four of us. Suddenly we’re all a lot closer.
When we finally get to the small coastal town of Honeysuckle Harbor two beds become only one and, well, you do the math.
Ivy and Liam think our fun, laughter-filled days and our hot-as-sin nights are just to get me and Harrison out of their systems before they head back to their lives in California. But Harrison and I are in love for the first time and we’re determined to make this foursome last forever.
Three Grumpy Groomsmen is a jilted bride why choose rom com with grumpy-sunshine combos galore, where the guys fall first, millionaires really enjoy a run down motel’s “room service”, and the girl gets her man… times three. No cheating, no other woman or other man drama, and a definite HEA.

From Archer’s Voice (Sheridan) and What The Wind Knows (Harmon), to Unloved (Regnery) and The Paper Swan (Attar), these four authors have attracted deeply-loyal fans from all over the world who praise their unforgettable storytelling.
For the first time ever, these four authors have each contributed a beloved, indie novel to LEGENDS, a limited-time collection. Four unlikely couples will sweep you off your feet, fill your hearts with hope and love, and leave you breathless for more.

MISTS OF THE SERENGETI (Leylah Attar): Set against the lush backdrop of East Africa, this award-winning contemporary love story follows two ordinary people, bound by tragedy, as they undertake a remarkable journey through the Serengeti to save endangered children. Jack, a coffee farmer in Tanzania, and Rodel, an English teacher from London, meet in the aftermath of devastation, but discover a connection that transcends distance, culture, and circumstance. Inspired by true events, Mists of The Serengeti is a flawlessly written, emotionally resonant tale of the unknown ways in which we are all connected.
THE LAW OF MOSES (Amy Harmon): Someone found him in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, a few hours old and close to death. They called him Baby Moses when they shared his story on the ten o’clock news – the little baby left in a basket at a dingy laundromat. Years later, Moses is a troubled teen: strange, exotic, beautiful…and utterly beloved by Georgia Shepard. And so begins a story of pain and promise, of heartache and healing, of life and death. Exquisitely written and deeply emotional, trust in the journey, and in Amy, your guide.
THE VIXEN AND THE VET (Katy Regnery): In this “Beauty and the Beast” retelling, disgraced journalist Savannah Carmichael returns to her hometown of Danvers, Virginia, with her once-promising career in ruins. Given the opportunity to get her skin back in the game by writing a patriotic human-interest piece, she agrees to interview local war-hero-turned-hermit, Asher Lee. Savannah has no intention of falling for the gravely-injured veteran, but fate has other plans for her. Intensely romantic, fast-paced and ultimately unforgettable, this modern twist on a beloved fairytale is an instant classic.
THE WISH COLLECTOR (Mia Sheridan): Upon arriving in magical, mysterious New Orleans, ballerina Clara Campbell is instantly captivated by the tragic legend of Windisle Plantation. Returning day after day, she speaks to a phantom voice through the cracks of a stone wall, falling deeply in love with a man whose face she’s never seen…a man who knows that Clara’s hopes for a future beyond the thick walls of Windisle are impossible. The Wish Collector is story of shame and triumph, of loneliness and love, and the miracle of two hearts connecting despite the barriers between them.

He lifted a brow as he stepped toward the back of the boat. “Coming?”
–
“I’m just going to sit here and enjoy the view.” I pulled off my tank top, and he watched every move.
–
“I don’t think so,” he said. His tone had dropped, becoming darker. Sultry.
–
“Excuse me?”
–
“Let’s go, Tennessee. Time for you to cool off.”
–
I laughed. “I’m not hot.”
–
He moved so fast I wasn’t prepared for it, snaking out an arm, hauling me to him, and then taking us over the side of the boat. The water hit me like a bucket of ice. Cold and hard and staggering. I gasped for air as we surfaced, shoving hard against his shoulder.
–
“I can’t believe you did that,” I sputtered.
–
The smile that took over his face caused my heart to stop again. It was wide and full, crinkling his eyes and showing off straight, white teeth.
–
“Loosen up, Sadie. Have some fun.”
–
I snorted. “You’re the one that doesn’t know how to have fun. You’re the one who stopped me from line dancing at your bar.”
–
I struggled against his hold, but he just held on. “It’s a piano bar not exactly the place for line dancing. And I didn’t like those two guys falling all over you.”
–
“You were jealous?” Surprise rang through my voice. He pushed at the frown that creased my brows with a f1n-ger, sliding it along my forehead and down my cheek.
–
“You’ve had me in knots from the moment you walked in,” he acknowledged. I watched as his l1ps lowered, drifting close to my m0-uth before detouring to my ear where his breath coasted along the shell. “I’m going to enjoy working those knots out with you.”

When Sail’s reckless lifestyle catches up with him, his father forces him to return to his hometown of Seaport for the summer.

Sail lost track of the time as he paced in front of the diner his family owned. He knew the moment he opened the door and stepped inside, his life would be over. His father wasn’t just going to kill him. He was going to strangle him, bring him back to life, beat him within an inch of his life, let him heal, and then start all over again.
Except Jack Carter had never laid a finger on Sail or any of his boys.
Knowing this didn’t assuage Sail’s fear. His father had high expectations of his boys, and they weren’t unreasonable. Except Jack wanted Sail to return to Seaport—with a degree in hand—and help run the family business, which was something he didn’t want to do.
Sail took a step forward and reached for the door, then thought better of it. He could get back into his car and drive away, off into the sunset. The idea of driving south, maybe to the Keys, appealed to him—way more than walking into the diner to tell his father he’d been suspended. He’d had weeks to think of something to say, but words failed him on every level. He’d exhausted his appeals. Even though Dean Holmes told him not to even try, Sail still had. His main point of contention was that he wasn’t the only one responsible for the partying. The entire fraternity was, and the party in question hadn’t been organized or sanctioned by Sail, even though he was president at the time.

Until reality crashes in again, forcing her to choose between the dominant, possessive, amazing man who makes her heart race and her family’s beloved farm.
