Teddy Jones is a one-upper. We grew up across the street from each other, always competing. When I got into Brown, he got into Harvard. When I dropped out early, he went on to law school. And when I ended up in a string of bad relationships, he started dating my old high school bully. So when Teddy challenges me to bring a suitable date to my sister's wedding, I decide it's my turn to be the one-upper. My date is a handsome, rich, successful Yale alumni. We met on Legacy, the exclusive dating app for Ivy Leaguers, and we're madly in love. And he'd be perfect--if he actually existed. Now I have six weeks to download the app and find Mr. Ivy League before Teddy catches me in a lie. Ivy League Liars is a laugh-until-you-cry, enemies-to-lovers, closed-door romantic comedy that will keep you flipping through the pages and cheering on all of Emme's mischievous high jinks.

Nothing prepares you for finding your sister's lifeless body covered in blood. But when the police arrest her ex, a man I know is innocent, I can't sit by and do nothing. Not when I've been secretly in love with him for years. Heath may not want my help, but I won't take no for an answer. To catch a killer, I'm forced to take a job at Saint View Prison. Maximum security. The place they send the worst of the worst. But it's not just Heath who doesn't want me there. Rowe, the sinfully sexy head guard has made it clear I don't belong. I'd tell him where to go with my middle finger up, if my skin didn't prickle with awareness every time he touches me. And then there's Liam, hotshot lawyer and my old high school enemy. All that tension and chemistry is still there, burning between us like flames. I need his help, but I'll be damned if I beg for it. With every lie we uncover, every secret we expose, the danger mounts. Until there's only one thing we know for sure. The killer is still out there. And I'm his next target. Locked Up Liars is an adult, #whychoose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest.

Sometimes the secrets we keep are more dangerous than the ones we reveal... To all my old friends: So here you all are. Nice to see you can show up for a person once he's dead. When Ruby St. James returns to her hometown, it is to the grave of her old friend Danny, a member of a group that was, ten years ago, Ruby's whole world. The crew made a pact back then: stay together, stay loyal, and stay honest. But that was before all of the lies. Because even friends keep secrets. They just don't stay secret for long. Now Danny has left behind a letter for each of them, issuing one final ultimatum: share your darkest betrayal to the group, or risk it coming out in a trap he has created. When past mistakes resurface, the lines of friendship blurb, and four old friends are left trying to understand what it means to lie to the ones you love best.
