Don't miss this hilarious, unputdownable, enemies-to-lovers romcom by Kristeen Groth, author of Hinted, Moonlit Lake Matchmaker Series. That's it! I'm done with men. I'll be better off dating myself. A weekend away at a secluded cabin to paint a new commission is the perfect way to kick off my “man-cott.” Or it would be if the man I most wanted to avoid, and couldn’t get over, wasn’t there at the same time. (This had meddling matchmaker Tillie’s name all over it. I’ll deal with her later.) And if the storm of the century hadn’t trapped us together. Alone. In the dark. With no distractions or interruptions. And only one bed. Ugh! Of all the people in the world to be stranded with, it had to be this arrogant oaf. The one I’d most like to strangle with my bare hands—if I could do it from a safe distance. Extendo arms would be helpful. Simply being in the same room with him is dangerous…to my heart, anyway. You see, not only is Nash Porter my sworn enemy, he’s also the one I’ve been in love with since grade school—my brother’s best friend. The guy who rejected me and destroyed my tender heart, yet was still there to taunt and tease me during my most embarassing moments. If I can just stay mad at him, I’ll be safe. It’s all I can do to keep from smacking the cocky smirk off his face whenever he glances my way. Better than kissing it off. At least, that’s what I tell myself. There’s no way we get out of this unscathed. Send help! Nudged is a sweet, forced proximity, brother’s best friend romantic comedy. It is loaded with witty banter and snark, laugh-out-loud moments, small-town charm, a loveable mutt, and swoony kisses. All the fun and feels, without the spice or swears. For lovers of Emma St Clair and Sariah Wilson.

Most men can’t handle Hazel. But her best friend Josh isn’t most men. Don’t miss New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren’s new novel about two people who are definitely not dating…no matter how often they end up in bed together. Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take—and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She’s a good soul in search of honest fun. Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met—when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes—to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air. Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there’s nothing between them...right?

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Let’s say you’re an independent, self-sufficient woman who runs the family company and you find yourself falling for your little brother’s best friend. Now, more than ever, you need to count all the reasons why you need to abandon falling. Abandon Falling #1 – He’s a womanizer. Hasn’t had a serious relationship a day in his life and changes women more often than he changes his sheets. Abandon Falling #2 – He’s never serious. He cracks one-liners, mostly at your expense. Abandon Falling #3 – When things go wrong, he seems unfazed and always remains in control. It’s so annoying. Abandon Falling #4 – He has tattoos. Lots of them. Everywhere. Not to mention, he owns a tattoo parlor. (Damn it! Why doesn’t that sound like a bad thing anymore?) Abandon Falling #5 – There’s a growing list of how different you two are. You can’t get along for fifteen minutes—a lifetime together would land one of you in prison. Keep repeating those reasons and drown yourself in work. Pretend you don’t notice his good qualities or how enticing he looks without a shirt, and do not, I repeat, do not agree to live with the man while your place is being repaired from flood damage. Trust me, even the strongest of us can only forego temptation for so long.
