The Words We Lost
2023
Nicole Deese
Three friends. Two broken promises. One missing manuscript. As a senior acquisitions editor for Fog Harbor Books in San Francisco, Ingrid Erikson has rejected many a manuscript for lack of defined conflict and dramatic irony—two elements her current life possesses in spades. In the months following the death of her childhood best friend and international bestselling author Cecelia Campbell, Ingrid has not only lost her ability to escape into fiction due to a rare trauma response, but she's also desperate to find the closure she's convinced will come with Cecelia's missing final manuscript. After Ingrid jeopardizes her career, she fears her future will remain irrevocably broken. But then Joel Campbell—the man who shattered her belief in happily-ever-afters—offers her a sealed envelope from his late cousin, Cecelia, asking Joel and Ingrid to put their differences aside and retrieve a mysterious package in their coastal Washington hometown. Honoring Cecelia's last request will challenge their convictions and test their loyalties, but through it all, will Ingrid and Joel be brave enough to uncover a twice-in-a-lifetime love?

Ten Things I Hate About You
meets
How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days
in this fun story about the special bond between sisters and the often bumpy road of falling in love.
Savannah is determined to reconnect with her two sisters. Her plan? To recreate their epic childhood summers at the beach. She has rented the same beach house, convinced her sisters to clear their calendars for a whole month, and made a bucket list of beach activities they need to relive. A little bit of nostalgia and summer fun will be the perfect antidote to the divide that has been plaguing the Prestley sisters for years. Did the secret she's hiding have anything to do with her planning the trip? Maybe, but that's beside the point. The fact is, everyone could use a little vitamin sea in their life. It's going to be great! What could go wrong? Bianca has a surprise. She's getting married! Of course her sisters aren't as thrilled at the announcement as they should be, which she probably should've expected. Her entire life, she's been trying to prove that just because she's the youngest doesn't mean she's a baby. So maybe she had some trouble getting her act together in the past, but that's different now. She's determined to show her sisters just how together her life is. And if the only way to do that is to find a soulmate for her closed-off-sister to prove that the dating site she used to meet her future husband is legit, then Cora better get ready. She's about to be swept off her feet. Bianca's going to make sure of it. Who's the one lacking follow-through now? Cora knew there was a good reason she does her own thing. It's because people in general—her sisters specifically—are ridiculous. Bianca needs to give up her delusion that this new relationship will work out perfectly. It won't. And Savannah needs to let go of her hopes of Cora getting married. It's not going to happen. She likes being alone. Life is better when she's alone. Safer. But she'll go on this date if it will show her sisters just how ludicrous they're being. And since they set her up with the town playboy who has never been on a second date in his life, proving her point has never been easier. She's got this all under control. At least she thinks she has it under control. Not under control at all.

She can't remember. He can't forget. Seven months ago, after graduating with a hospitality degree, city girl Lauren Wentworth travelled to rural New Hampshire to become temporary manager of Pinehaven Lodges, a rustic family\-owned resort. What started as just a springboard to her dream job became so much more when she fell in love with the owner's son Jonah, the Landry family, and her simple but rewarding position at the resort. Now she's reaching toward a different kind of future than she'd imagined for herself\-\-and happier than she's ever been. But then she falls from a ladder. When Lauren wakes up in the hospital, she only recalls her first couple months at the resort. She remembers her adversarial relationship with Jonah and her major crush on small\-town doctor, Carson, who also has big\-city ambitions\-\-but is, unfortunately, taken. However, according to everyone around her, she's now madly love with Jonah and has forfeited the dream job awaiting her in Boston. It seems impossible to believe she could've made such drastic changes in a matter of months! Jonah is heartbroken at her memory loss and determined to help Lauren remember the deep feelings they've developed for one another. But Lauren isn't sure she wants to remember falling in love with someone she doesn't even like or giving up her dream career for a rustic resort in Podunk, New Hampshire. Especially when Dr. Carson is now available. . .

The \#1 New York Times bestselling author, whose books so many love, brings us a fresh, contemporary story of a woman and her unruly blended family Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in. Her career is in freefall and her love life is . . . complicated. So when her real dad—a man she has barely seen since he ran off to Hollywood thirty\-five years ago—suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach about love, and what it actually means to be family.
