NOT LIKELY! After twenty years of marriage, Nina had offloaded serial philanderer Joe and was happy enough, thank you, coping alone with their two demanding daughters and her own hectic life. It felt like freedom, not having to wonder constantly where Joe was, who with and up to what. But into Nina's new, carefree life some disturbing elements began to appear. A flasher had been accosting young girls on the nearby common, leaving every man in the area under suspicion. Home, to Nina, no longer felt so safe. And Joe, during one of his oh-so-civilised monthly lunches with Nina, revealed that the new love in his life, pin-thin, power-dressed Catherine, had decided that she now required a baby. But babies, Joe told Nina, were what he did with her: a remark that Nina found oddly unsettling...

Loren Cohen, AKA Lo, is the epitome of a wholesome Southern belle. The apple of her father’s eye, she’s the perfect daughter that is often the voice of reason with her friends, steering them away from disaster too many times to count. Lo has the picture-perfect life that every girl dreams of and rises to the occasion in all areas—except her love life. Buried deep below her good girl persona is a young woman with a thirst for the kind of love that can only be given by a bad boy, the kind of love that goes against everything that a good girl stands for... Like bees to honey, the bad boys can sniff Lo out a mile away and Angel proves just that when he slides his way into her life, but time is something he seems unwilling to give her. With alarm bells going off immediately, Lo knows that Angel is nothing but trouble and heartbreak waiting to happen...yet he stays on her mind. Lo doesn’t have a chance to get too starry-eyed with Angel before trouble’s twin shows up by way of Jamario, a player with a mountain of skeletons in his past. When Lo’s hit with baby mama drama from a few different women, she’s certain that Rio is bad for her...but he does her body so good and when he touches a depth that she never knew existed, Lo just might leave her good girl persona behind—for good. Just when Rio has Lo questioning everything about herself, Angel reappears and seems destined to prove that he’s a good guy after all. Putting his best foot forward, he treats her like royalty and is just what she needs to pull through the chaos that has recently become her life...but no matter how hard Angel loves her, Rio still has a piece of Lo’s heart—a piece that just might land her in a life or death situation when Rio’s dark side come to light.

After Rio’s brutal attack, Lo is left to pick up the pieces. She has a choice to move on or to seek revenge. She chooses the latter and embarks on a path of self destruction. Her friends and loved ones see the path she is taking and are not pleased. At the urging of both Naia and Angel, Lo tries to move on from her attack and not let her hatred for Rio consume her. She is soon met with another choice that can make all of her problems disappear. Does she make the right choice? Just when things are getting back to normal, a new player enters the game and throws Lo for another loop, leaving her love life in shambles. It also leaves her thinking that bad boys may not be good for her.

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Lauren Layne brings all the unpredictable heat of Blurred Lines to an all-new cast of characters! Country music’s favorite good girl is hiding away from the world—only to find herself bunking with a guy who makes her want to be a little bad. Jenny Dawson moved to Nashville to write music, not get famous. But when her latest record goes double platinum, Jenny’s suddenly one of the town’s biggest stars—and the center of a tabloid scandal connecting her with a pop star she’s barely even met. With paparazzi tracking her every move, Jenny flees to a remote mansion in Louisiana to write her next album. The only hiccup is the unexpected presence of a brooding young caretaker named Noah, whose foul mouth and snap judgments lead to constant bickering—and serious heat. Noah really should tell Jenny that he’s Preston Noah Maxwell Walcott, the owner of the estate where the feisty country singer has made her spoiled self at home. But the charade gives Noah a much-needed break from his own troubles, and before long, their verbal sparring is indistinguishable from foreplay. But as sizzling nights give way to quiet pillow talk, Noah begins to realize that Jenny’s almost as complicated as he is. To fit into each other’s lives, they’ll need the courage to face their problems together—before the outside world catches up to them. Praise for Good Girl “I couldn’t read this fast enough!

Finalist for the 2020 Edgar Award for Best Novel From the internationally bestselling author who Stephen King calls “an absolute master,” a fiendishly clever thriller about a dangerous young woman with the ability to know when someone is lying—and the criminal psychologist who must outwit her to survive. A girl is discovered hiding in a secret room in the aftermath of a terrible crime. Half-starved and filthy, she won’t tell anyone her name, or her age, or where she came from. Maybe she is twelve, maybe fifteen. She doesn’t appear in any missing persons file, and her DNA can’t be matched to an identity. Six years later, still unidentified, she is living in a secure children’s home with a new name, Evie Cormac. When she initiates a court case demanding the right to be released as an adult, forensic psychologist Cyrus Haven must determine if Evie is ready to go free. But she is unlike anyone he’s ever met—fascinating and dangerous in equal measure. Evie knows when someone is lying, and no one around her is telling the truth. Meanwhile, Cyrus is called in to investigate the shocking murder of a high school figure-skating champion, Jodie Sheehan, who died on a lonely footpath close to her home. Pretty and popular, Jodie is portrayed by everyone as the ultimate girl-next-door, but as Cyrus peels back the layers, a secret life emerges—one that Evie Cormac, the girl with no past, knows something about. A man haunted by his own tragic history, Cyrus is caught between the two cases—one girl who needs saving and another who needs justice. What price will he pay for the truth? Emotionally explosive, swiftly paced, and “haunting…Robotham expertly raises the tension as the action hurtles toward the devastating climax” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
