Een gloednieuwe steamy romance van bestsellerauteur Ali Hazelwood!
Maya Killgore is 23, en heeft geen idee wat ze wil met haar leven.
Conor Harkness is 38, en is 24/7 in Maya’s gedachten.
Het is zo’n cliché dat Maya’s hoofd er bijna van ontploft: een oudere man én de beste vriend van haar broer die niet weet dat zij bestaat. Toch kan Maya hem niet uit haar hoofd zetten, ook al heeft Conor gezegd dat hij haar niet in zijn leven wil. Maar schijn bedriegt, en soms wordt een cliché een plottwist.
Als Mayas broer gaat trouwen in Italië, zitten zij en Conor een week lang samen in een romantische villa. Eenmaal daar lijkt het alsof Conor iets verzwijgt. De feestelijkheden ontsporen al gauw, en Maya besluit dat een zomerse affaire precies is wat ze nodig heeft, zelfs als die problematisch is…
Problematic Summer Romance is het vervolg op Not in Love, maar ook goed los te lezen. Uitgevoerd met unieke boekblokbedrukking!

Is true love the greatest form of magic?
Long ago, in a kingdom far away, the magician of Tiger Castle is on thin ice.
Once the greatest in the land, Anatole’s spells have dried up.
He can’t even turn sand into gold anymore.
The only one who still believes in him is kind Princess Tullia, and he hopes – for the sake of their friendship – that he can soon redeem himself and stay within the king’s court.
When the opportunity arises, Anatole is faced with an impossible decision.
Princess Tullia is betrothed to the prince of a rich neighbouring kingdom – an alliance that will save bankrupt Esquaveta and all its citizens.
But Tullia has secretly fallen in love with a lowly apprentice scribe and refuses to wed the prince.
The King tasks Anatole with the most difficult magic of all: an anti-love potion.
Anatole can save everything and everyone if he can shatter the young lovers’ romance.
But with the fate of the kingdom hanging in the balance, can he achieve it?
Can he even bring himself to try?
After all, is true love not the purest form of magic?
Told with the same wit and warmth that has made Louis Sachar’s books classics of children’s literature, The Magician of Tiger Castle is a colourful and enigmatic tale of adventure, love, loss, and triumph.

When Eva’s impromptu public call out of her college ex goes viral, she’s thrust into the spotlight. It doesn’t help that said ex is Rylie Cooper, a beloved social media personality, who built a platform on deconstructing toxic masculinity and teaching men how to be good partners.
Forced to confront Rylie on a live episode of Sausage Talk, he offers Eva a deal: allow him to take her on a series of dates to make up for his toxic behaviour, then debrief them on his channel to show he’s changed.
Eva refuses to play nice, but this could advance her own career… and she wouldn’t mind defaming Rylie’s good name in the process. When their manufactured dates start to feel real, Eva has to wonder if the boy that broke her heart has become the man that might heal it.
