The Hitman's Guide to Making Friends and Finding Love-Preview Alice Winters
*This is a sample copy
Leland
Being a hitman has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest.
Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my blow-up doll Randy, but I know better. Why else would he be teaming up with me to bring down Hardek?
Jackson
Even though the cops are telling me that the hitman is a contract killer, I can’t help but admit that I’m drawn to him. He’s funny and charismatic. There’s no way this ridiculous man can be the one the cops are after.

Terrible Things Preview Beth Bolden
Contains a preview of Terrible Things.
When Caleb Chance walked out in Detroit five years ago, leaving his band, millions of his fans and his lover behind, Leo knew he could never forgive.
Some things, no matter what the cause, are unforgivable.
But Leo never expected Caleb to show up again, clean and sober and wanting to get their band, Star Shadow, back together. He definitely never expected to agree to Caleb’s plan.
He never expected to confront the love of his life again—or the disaster of his past, the hopelessness of his future, and every terrible thing he’s been carrying inside him.
But maybe some things aren’t so terrible after all.

The Clockwork Monk
The Clockwork Monk Liv Rancourt
The Clockwork Monk is a mystery the President herself asks Trevor to solve. She wants it, and Trevor’s her spy. An encoded message leads him to the residence of the Archbishop of Chicago, where his undercover role allows him to indulge in fine waistcoats and fancy cravats. Even better, he enjoys the thrill of dodging anarchists and propriety while engaging in a duel of secrets with the mysterious Father Stephen.
The good Father doesn't act like a priest. Hell, Stephen may not be his real name. His broad shoulders and dark eyes are intriguing, and though Stephen’s clandestine agenda clashes with Trevor's, danger just adds to the temptation. Between kisses, Stephen forces Trevor to admit his loyalty goes deeper than cheap excitement, turning a simple burglary into a test of his allegiance.

A busy schedule of practices, games, classes, homework, two part-time jobs—and now, working with a tutor to help him pass the class he’s failing so that he can keep his scholarship—shouldn’t leave him with enough time to flirt with the NHL player in town. But that doesn’t stop him.
Placed on the injured reserve list until his broken arm heals, NHL defenseman Alex Dean is using the time off to be with his ailing grandfather and get a head start on the book he’s been commissioned to write.

Light Touch: Rhythm of Love #0.5
Light Touch: Rhythm of Love #0.5 Neve Wilder
A bar musician and a light-sensitive painter play a game of cat-and-mouse that begins with a song request and comes to a very steamy conclusion at a Halloween party.
Seasoned musician Rufus Merrill hardly notices the crowds he plays to, these days. Ten gallon hats and cowboy boots? Drunken coeds and tourists? They're a dime a dozen. But the black-clad guy leaning up against the wall of the bar in sunglasses after dark? That stands out.
Artist Quinn Marx has had his fill of musicians; past relationships dictate they're a bad idea. But something about Rufus and his music catches Quinn’s attention, and he can't help but put in a special request for a song just for the hell of it. Maybe just to give the guy a challenge.
One kiss in a dark alley later, and they're both hooked.

Nor Iron Bars a Cage Kaje Harper
First I was a sorcerer. Then I was a hermit. For so long—for years that seemed to go on forever—I couldn't bear to be touched. I put up not just walls but whole stone bunkers to keep everyone out, emotionally, and physically as well. I was protected from people, from ghosts, from specters real and imagined. Sure, I was alone. But I felt safe. Only, after a while, I wasn't sure any longer whether a totally "safe" empty life was really worth living.
Then Tobin came along. Out of the blue, out of my past, with a summons from the king that he wouldn't let me ignore. I tried to cling to my isolation, but he wouldn't give up on me. Tobin never believed in walls.
