There is a piece of cod-wisdom regularly dispensed to single women: romance will arrive when you least expect it. I had assumed it would also make its own travel arrangements too. Emma John is in her 40s; she is neither married, nor partnered, with child or planning to be. In her hilarious and unflinching memoir, Self Contained, she asks why the world only views a woman as complete when she is no longer a single figure and addresses what it means to be alone when everyone else isn't. In her book, she captures what it is to be single in your forties, from sharing a twin room with someone you've never met on a group holiday (because the couples have all the doubles with ensuite) to coming to the realisation that maybe your singleness isn't a temporary arrangement, that maybe you aren't pre-married at all, and in fact you are self-contained. The book is an exploration of being lifelong single and what happens if you don't meet the right person, don't settle down with the wrong person and realise the biggest commitment is to yourself.

Can two adventure junkies find a future together? Clare O’Malley’s ambitions have brought her to the very top of her field, a profession that requires her to lie and keep secrets even from those she loves. But to become a bonafide legend, she has to find the former Shifter support group leader and Naravan cult hero, Kira Farseaker and bring her back to Narava. No easy feat, even for someone of Clare’s considerable talents. To find Kira, Clare needs the help of notorious smuggler, Raf Tygran. The sexy-as-all-hell pirate’s reputation is well earned. But falling for someone like Raf is a guaranteed disaster for someone like Clare, and she can’t afford the distraction. No matter how tempting he is. Raf knows Clare is a liar the minute they meet. Which is good for him because he loves liars, and the delectable Clare is a liar he wants to know better. She’s the kind of woman Raf could fall hard for, trouble with a capital T. And he likes trouble almost as much as he likes liars. Smuggling Clare off Narava to meet Kira Farseaker is a job he probably shouldn’t take. But the prospect of spending weeks aboard his ship with her is a game too tempting to refuse. He intends to meet her challenge, and seduce her sexy chaos into his bed. Maybe even his life. Then a threat from Raf’s past rises up to strike, and an already dangerous mission turns deadly. Facing their ghosts and this new threat to the galaxy will take everything they’ve got. And nothing will ever be the same for Raf or Clare. But if they can survive, without starting a rebellion, they might just find a way to love each other.

A Romeo & Juliet tale for Hamilton! fans. In post-American Revolution New York City, Theodosia Burr, a scholar with the skills of a socialite, is all about charming the right people on behalf of her father—Senator Aaron Burr, who is determined to win the office of president in the pivotal election of 1800. Meanwhile, Philip Hamilton, the rakish son of Alexander Hamilton, is all about being charming on behalf of his libido. When the two first meet, it seems the ongoing feud between their politically opposed fathers may be hereditary. But soon, Theodosia and Philip must choose between love and family, desire and loyalty, and preserving the legacy their flawed fathers fought for or creating their own. Love, Theodosia is a smart, funny, swoony take on a fiercely intelligent woman with feminist ideas ahead of her time who has long-deserved center stage. A refreshing spin on the Hamiltonian era and the characters we have grown to know and love. It’s also a heartbreaking romance of two star-crossed lovers, an achingly bittersweet “what if.” Despite their fathers’ bitter rivalry, Theodosia and Philip are drawn to each other and, in what unrolls like a Jane Austen novel of manners, we find ourselves entangled in the world of Hamilton and Burr once again as these heirs of famous enemies are driven together despite every reason not to be.

“The first in Sheets’ new Holloway Girls series is funny, sexy, charming and full of practical magic . . . Fans of Sarah Addison Allen will love this novel.” —RT Book Reviews Most families have a favorite recipe or two, handed down through generations. The Holloway women are a little different. Emma Holloway, like her grandmother before her, bakes wishes into her delicious cupcakes, granting the recipient comfort, sweet dreams, or any number of good things. It’s a strange gift, but it brings only happiness. Until gorgeous, smooth-talking newcomer Hunter Kane strolls into her shop, Fairy Cakes—and Emma makes the mistake of selling him not one, but three Sweet Success cupcakes. Hunter, it turns out, is opening a fancy new restaurant and bakery right on the waterfront—Emma’s competition. To make matters worse, the town committee has decided to split the upcoming summer festival contract between the two, forcing Emma to work with her nemesis. But she can’t afford to split her profits. The solution: create a recipe that will make Hunter leave town permanently. The Holloway charms are powerful. But there are other kinds of magic in the world—like red-hot first kisses, secret glances, and the feeling that comes with falling truly, madly, inconveniently in love . . . “I loved this book! Beautifully written and the story has stayed with me.” —Jude Deveraux, New York Times–bestselling author
