El pacto de ruptura: una novela
Señor, Emma, autor.
June y Levi eran mejores amigos cuando eran adolescentes, hasta el día en que dejaron de serlo. Ahora June está luchando por pagar el alquiler de su tienda de té junto a la playa, Levi vive un cliché neoyorquino como gerente de fondos de cobertura desilusionado y novelista fracasado, y apenas han hablado en años. Pero después de que ambos experimentan rupturas públicas y humillantes con sus ex que se propagan como un reguero de pólvora por las madrigueras de TikTok y los programas de entrevistas diurnos por igual, accidentalmente hacen su propio chisme jugoso: una foto de ellos juntos convence a Internet de que son una pareja. Con tanta gente apoyándolos, deciden dejar de lado su pasado turbulento y hacer un pacto para echar más leña al fuego. Fingir que tienen una cita ayudará a que la tienda de June se recupere y hará que la ex de Levi se dé cuenta de que cometió un error. Todo lo que tienen que hacer es convencer al mundo de que están enamorados, una oportunidad de foto digna de desmayo a la vez. Dos rupturas virales. Una relación falsa. Cinco citas brillantes y emocionantes. June y Levi definitivamente pueden lograrlo sin que sus corazones se involucren. Porque todos saben que las citas falsas no vienen acompañadas de sentimientos reales. ¿Verdad?...

Morrissey, Bridget, author.
Turns out you're never too old for a summer camp romance. Or a change of heart. When a divorced woman attends a sleepaway camp for adults only, she reconnects with a man from her past-only to catch feelings for his sister instead. Garland Moore used to believe in magic, the power of optimism, and signs from the universe. Then her husband surprised her with divorce papers over Valentine's Day dinner. Now Garland isn't sure what to believe anymore, except that she's clearly never meant to love again. When new friends invite her to spend a week at their reopened sleepaway camp, she and her sister decide it's an opportunity to enjoy the kind of summer getaway they never had as kids. If Garland still believed in signs, this would sure seem like one. Summer camp is a chance to let go of her past and start fresh. Nestled into the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains, Camp Carl Cove provides the exact escape Garland always dreamed of, until she runs into Mason-the man she had a premonition about after one brief meeting years ago. No matter how she tries to run, the universe appears determined to bring love back into Garland's life. She even ends up rooming with Mason's sister Stevie, a vibrant former park ranger who is as charming as she is competitive. The more time Garland spends with Stevie, the more the signs confuse her. The stars are aligning in a way Garland never could have predicted. Amid camp tournaments and moonlit dances, Garland continues to be pulled toward the beautiful blonde outdoorswoman who makes her laugh and swoon. Summer camp doesn't last forever, but if Garland can learn to trust her heart, the love she finds there just might.....

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares... but it turns out they're real, and Saeris has landed herself right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed. The first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher, a handsome Fae warrior, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist's magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him... or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he's the only way Saeris is going to make it home. Be careful of the deals you make, dear child. The devil is in the details.......
