The Thing About Goodbye by Flora Burgos
I made him smile
He made me laugh
I was his escape
He was my shelter from the storm
I gave him my heart
He broke it in two
I was making plans to escape the bad
He was still up to no goodDeep Flaming Red by JD Samson
Four years ago, Ethan is nothing but a preacher’s kid, broke as a church mouse with a staggering IQ and a one-way ticket to hell. Scarlett is the heavily guarded State Attorney General’s daughter and a beautiful ballet dancer who took Ethan’s breath away. Bold, intense, and all-consuming, their love defies forbidden boundaries.
Then one night, everything changes. She loses her mind, destroys his life, and disappears, and Ethan’s world comes crashing down.
Now the most respected tech entrepreneur of his time, Ethan has the world at his feet– 27 billion at 27, as they say. Scarlett, now twenty-one, has returned to the U.S to dance and–if she can muster the courage–to make things right with Ethan. But instead of the boy she left behind, she comes face to face with a gorgeous, fiercely controlled man with the lethal power to command any woman’s attention. Could he still have time for the sheltered ballerina he once loved so deeply?
Torn between revenge and desire, Ethan can’t deny their chemistry. The lust between them is inescapable. While their passion soars, deception and lies unfold to reveal the truth behind Scarlett’s disappearance. Together, they will face the dirty truth that has kept them apart, and in a stunning exchange of power, Ethan must decide if revenge could ever be sweeter than her.
DEEP FLAMING RED is the first book in a heart-breakingly sweet and intensely powerful duology about two people who would love without limits if given the chance.

The cause of that heartbreak was Gwen Patterson. Seen as not worthy of her daughter, Tara’s mother made certain that they wouldn’t be able to continue their friendship or blossoming relationship and chose to rent out the beach house instead of returning there the following summers. Forced to go in different directions, the women moved on with their lives but never forgot the relationship that was abruptly cut short. Reunited after thirty years, the two women immediately pick up where they left off and eventually the sexual tension escalates and explodes. But has too much time passed? Will it only be a summer fling to end what was left unfinished or will they finally be able to build a future together?

Makeup artist Rafaella Hamilton accepts a one-day sub position on a Hollywood movie set. When a stranger returns a pen she drops, she doesn’t realize she’s met and mistaken for a member of the crew the lead of the movie, British heartthrob Evan Hutchinson.
As the pair continue to see each throughout the day, Evan finds himself increasingly intrigued. Rafaella’s pretty, likable, and has made him laugh. And now he wants to know more. But she won’t be back tomorrow—unless Evan can make sure she will.
An unusual job offer is extended to Rafaella to finish out the film as Evan’s personal makeup artist. The opportunity promises to provide much alone time for the two to become acquainted. Rafaella sees Evan as charming, personable, and funny—unlike most actors she’s come across—and now, apparently interested in her. Is there hope for love and a happily ever after in Evan’s A-list world?
Their love story is sweet but entails drama beyond what the couple can foresee.

The Thief Who Stole Eternity by Pam Kesterson
braids together the dystopian and utopian in brilliant scenery, immortality, myths, and faith.
The Thief Who Stole Eternity is the second book in the Infinīte Series. It’s a story of first love as Cat and Shenser reunite together and meander through a landscape woven of legends and illusions in search for Saidi, a lost Infinīte, and other Infinītes enslaved across the world. Driven by obsession, Cat cannot resist Shenser’s offer to help. A captivating story of startling beauty and dismay. From tarnished, and at times regretful heroes, to narcissistic villains.

Two Chances At Love by Sophie Hunter
On the evening of her high school prom, and the day before her family move her permanently back to London, Alice’s boyfriend, Toby, breaks her heart so badly, she doesn’t think she’ll ever be able to fix it again.
Eighteen years later, working as a waitress and struggling as a writer, Alice feels like she’s going nowhere. She can’t find a man; no matter how hard she looks, her debut novel isn’t selling, and she can’t find any inspiration to write another.
When debonair billionaire, Devizes Carter, walks unexpectedly into her life, she finally feels like all of her problems might have been solved in one fell swoop.
Not only is he charming, rich and incredibly good in bed, he also promises to give Alice’s books the attention they deserve.
Is Devizes just too good to be true, or is Alice unable to accept that finally things might be going her way?
If Devizes isn’t enough of a surprise already for Alice, things get even more complicated, when Toby shows up unannounced, with a revelation that will blow her mind.
It’s been eighteen years since she last saw him, and despite having her heart broken all that time ago, not a day has gone by that she hasn’t wondered what became of her first true love.
Can she give the man she used to call ‘the one’ another chance to come back into her life, or is it time to bury the past, nail down the lid, and finally move on?
‘Two Chances At Love’ is both a drama and a comedy, but first and foremost, it’s a love story.
It’s a book about secrets and lies, about the blurring lines between fantasy and fiction, and, most importantly, about how true love has a way of always finding you, regardless of how lost you think you might be.
