Wretched: A never after novel
by Emily Mclntire
From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious fractured fairy tale reimagining of The Wizard of Oz . A woman can be great, and terrible too. Evelina Westerly has always been the bad guy. As the brains, brawn, and botanist behind her family's drug empire, she's her father's ruthless secret weapon. With her days divided between perfecting her greenhouse, seeking revenge for her sister's murder, and putting a gun to the head of anyone in her way, Evelina doesn't have time for anything else. Especially not for love. After a one-night stand with a gorgeous man at a nightclub, she's sated her urges and is back to her criminal ways. That is, until that same man shows up as the new Westerly lackey...under a totally different name. But Nicholas Woodsworth's real secret is much more dangerous than an alias. He's an undercover DEA agent, and he's hell-bent on destroying the drug trade that devastated his family. When he realizes the youngest daughter of the Westerly empire is the same woman he's been fantasizing about since that night at the club, attraction wars violently with disgust. Evelina embodies everything he's against, and he's been sent here to be her downfall. Yet the more they learn about the darkness in each other's hearts, the more alike they seem, and when hatred turns to something more, Nicholas will have to decide whether he can love a wretched woman, even if it means bringing both of their lives to ruin.

Barbarian's taming
by Ruby Dixon
"The next novel in the Ice Planet Barbarians series, an international publishing phenomenon-now in a special print edition with an exclusive bonus epilogue! There are a million reasons why Hassen and Maddie shouldn't work, but despite it all, they find themselves unable to resist each other. . . . As a newcomer to the alien tribe, I've struggled to find my place. It might be because I'm a tad headstrong at times. And yes, I might have thrown a few things at people's heads. But I had a good reason to pitch a fit: my shy sister was stolen away right under my nose. Of course, now she's back and mated. Everyone's happy . . . except me. I need . . . affection. Attention. Okay, I'm lonely. Really lonely. Strangely enough, the only person who I think understands what I'm going through is the same blue-skinned brute who stole my sister. It's wrong to hook up with him, even as a mindless fling. Except . . . I'm not so good with the whole "rules" thing. And he's not so great with the "fling" thing. But maybe there's a chance for us"

Aroha and the billionaire boss
by Serenity Woods
Would you marry the most arrogant man you’ve ever met for a million dollars? James Marrying one of the richest, most eligible bachelors in New Zealand sounds like something out of a fairy tale, right? What girl could possibly say no if I proposed? Aroha Wihongi, that’s who. Marriage has never been high on my list of priorities, but my sister’s recent death has literally left me holding the baby—my three-month-old niece. Although having kids wasn’t on my list either, I have no intention of letting her absentee, alcoholic lowlife of a father within a mile of her. My lawyer says my chances of adopting her will improve vastly if I can ditch my reputation as a womanizer and stand before the court a respectable married man. So I’ve bought the ring, and now all I need is the right girl. Aroha’s perfect. She’s a nanny, so she’ll be able to look after my niece, because, let’s face it, I don’t know the first thing about babies. And she’s gorgeous, so nobody will have trouble believing that I fell in love at first sight and proposed immediately. Unfortunately, though, I’m not her favorite person, having dozed off while making out with her after we got drunk at a Christmas party. When I get down on one knee, she tells me to shove the ring where the sun doesn’t shine.
