Too Late to Be Good

Harper Reynolds

A bourbon heiress. A reclusive mountain man. One brutal winter storm with no escape. Evie Ward runs to the mountains to escape the wreckage of her life. Instead, she ends up stranded in a remote lodge with Ryder Hale, a guarded ex-soldier with too many ghosts and no interest in letting anyone close. The storm traps them. The cold closes in. And the only thing more dangerous than the mountain is the way he looks at her. Ryder knows better than to want her. He’s built his life on distance, control, and never needing anyone. But Evie doesn’t scare easy. She sees past the walls he’s spent years hiding behind, and the longer they’re trapped together, the harder it is for him to pretend she doesn’t matter. Then the mountain lets them go. And reality comes crashing in. Because Evie’s past isn’t done with her. And Ryder Hale survived war, isolation, and the mountain. Evie Ward might be the one thing that finally ruins him. Tropes: Forced Proximity • Grumpy Sunshine • Age Gap • Wounded Hero • Runaway Heiress • Found Family Heat: Spicy Ending: Guaranteed HEA Uncover the fight for a love he’s sure he doesn’t deserve and she refuses to live without.

Every Little Thing

Kayla Hartness

Kat Wilson has secretly loved Beckett St. James for almost as long as she can remember. He was the boy next door who first saw past her flaws, held her together when her world fell apart, and became woven into the very fabric of her soul. But Beck was also her fiercely protective older brother's best friend, and no matter how much she wished he would fall madly in love with her, he only ever saw her as a little sister. Or so she thought. As the years pass, Kat and Beck are forced to face more than either of them ever bargained for. Dreams lead them down separate paths. War leaves wounds that never heal. Time steals precious moments, and distance becomes irreparable. Yet no matter how far apart they drift, no matter how broken they become, the thread connecting them never truly breaks. Every Little Thing is a hard-fought love story about holding on to the one person who feels like home when everything around you is falling apart, and believing that, somehow, every little thing is going to be alright.
