Book Description
When Annabelle returns to her small town to pursue an internship opportunity, will she help her high school enemy, who is also the boy next door, when he begs her to pretend to be his girlfriend to make his dying grandma happy? Coming back to Cherish Creek after a few years at a big city university is like a breath of fresh air, but once Mason, who stole my Halloween candy in elementary school, cheated off my math tests in middle school, and teased me about my red hair until the day we graduated, traipses across his lawn to mine, I know he's up to no good. His ornery smile is still cute, but he's buttering me up for something I won't like, so when he asks me to act like his girlfriend to please his terminally ill grandmother, I waver. His grandma, who just moved to town so Mason and his family can take care of her, doesn't know about our past, but everyone else in Cherish Creek does. He's the most annoying man I know, but saying no would hurt his grandma. Even if I agree to this ridiculous plan, can I pull off such an act convincingly enough to fool the entire town? Perfectly Yours is the irresistible fifth book in the Cherish Creek sweet small town romance series. If you like enemies to lovers, fake relationships, and family devotion, you'll love Alessa Martel's pretend romance love story.

Book Description
When my husband Oliver died, my life ended. My purpose, my passion, my everything bled out with him on the side of the Pacific Coast Highway. Ollie was an organ donor. His eyes, his brain, his lungs, his heart...parts of my Ollie went out and saved lives. Then his heart, beating in another man's chest, found its way back to me, and I found myself faced with an impossible choice: hold on to the pain and beauty of the past and the memory of the man I loved, or reach for a bold new future, knowing each heartbeat will be a reminder of all I've lost. * * * I wasn't supposed to live past thirty. My grandfather died at forty-five. Heart failure. My father died at thirty-eight. Heart failure. The doctors told me my whole life that I wouldn't see my thirty-first birthday. My heart was going to give out. It was just a matter of time: a rare blood type and an unusually large heart meant essentially zero chance of a transplant. I proved them all wrong...by dying on my thirty-first birthday. And then I woke up, alive, with another man's heart inside my chest, and his widow on my conscience. I spent my whole life preparing for death, and now I have to learn how to live. Only, as I soon discovered, living is the easy part. Loving, and allowing myself to be loved...well, that's a whole lot harder.

Two best friends create a computer that can predict the future. But what they can’t predict is how it will tear their friendship—and society—apart. “A fantastic page-turner and a future classic.”—Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author of Paradox Bound IN DEVELOPMENT AS AN HBO MAX ORIGINAL SERIES If you had the chance to look one year into the future, would you? For Ben Boyce and Adhi Chaudry, the answer is unequivocally yes. And they’re betting everything that you’ll say yes, too. Welcome to The Future: a computer that connects to the internet one year from now, so you can see who you’ll be dating, where you’ll be working, even whether or not you’ll be alive in the year to come. By forming a startup to deliver this revolutionary technology to the world, Ben and Adhi have made their wildest, most impossible dream a reality. Once Silicon Valley outsiders, they’re now its hottest commodity. The device can predict everything perfectly—from stock market spikes and sports scores to political scandals and corporate takeovers—allowing them to chase down success and fame while staying one step ahead of the competition. But the future their device foretells is not the bright one they imagined. Ambition. Greed. Jealousy. And, perhaps, an apocalypse. The question is . . . can they stop it? Told through emails, texts, transcripts, and blog posts, this bleeding-edge tech thriller chronicles the costs of innovation and asks how far you’d go to protect the ones you love—even from themselves.
