Book Description
Life is kicking my ass. Here I am, in the heart of New York City’s tourist hub, serving slices of faux Italian pizza to travelers living their best lives, while I’m stuck just a few miles from where I was born and raised. My coworkers? We have nothing in common. My love life? A series of one-night stands with app matches or restaurant customers. My closest friend? My neighbor, who’s just as broke as I am, meaning we’re more ‘Netflix in pajamas’ than ‘night out on the town’ kind of friends. Just as I’m about to come to terms with my crappy existence, a chance encounter lands me an unexpected gig—as a pole instructor. Suddenly, I'm back to dancing and making decent money teaching pole to fantastic clients. Even better, I actually like my coworkers—a whole crew of ride-or-dies who unequivocally support one another, and now me. And then there’s Luke, the to-die-for coworker who’s fast tracking to becoming more than just my work husband. The catch? That lucky job offer came with shady stipulations and way too much money for me to turn it down. So, in accordance with the contract I’ve signed, I’ve been lying to everyone since day one. Luke doesn't even know my real name. I can’t keep this up forever, but every time I consider coming clean, something happens, like I need to teach Luke how to do a strip tease for a work competition, or a coworker picks that same moment to bare her soul to me and I can’t respond in kind with how I’ve been lying to her angelic face. Telling the truth means risking everything—the job, the friends, and especially Luke. Is there ever a good time for that? Here’s the trope roundup for all you die-hard romance fans: -reverse age gap -workplace romance -found family -pole competition -lots of secrets -slow burn but when it happens its flaming spice -set in NYC

Book Description
One chance at her big break. One charming cameraman standing in her way. Jackie Strauss is drowning in nautical-themed Christmas decorations. When her holiday-obsessed neighborhood is selected for a documentary, the DIY expert realizes she's in over her head as the cameras start rolling and she starts fumbling. But the variable most likely to result in her total failure falls solely on the broad, muscular shoulders of the charismatic cameraman who’s documenting her every move. The man she once had a fiery hot one-night stand with. Scott Davis uses work to avoid anything beyond a fling. Unfortunately, his strategy of quickly moving from one filming location to another leads him straight back to the one woman he never got over: Jackie Strauss. But he's only in town temporarily and getting involved with anyone in the documentary is strictly forbidden, so he keeps his camera up as a barrier and somehow resists the achingly strong desire to ravage Jackie under one of her perfectly placed mistletoes. With Scott’s next flight out already booked, can Jackie convince him their love is worth the risk of losing everything? *This spicy holiday rom-com has it all: an ornery cat, quirky neighbors who are like family, small-town holiday festivities, a ride-or-die bestie, multiple Richard Simmons mentions (because why not), and an HEA that's sure to melt hearts. It's a second in series but can be read as a stand-alone.

Book Description
There is a great disturbance in the Force. . . . From the sleek ships of the glimmering Coruscant skyscape to the lush gardens of pastoral Naboo, dissent is roiling. The Republic is failing, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, elected ten years earlier to save the crumbling government. Separatists threaten war, and the Senate is hopelessly divided, unable to determine whether to raise an army for battle or keep the fragile peace. It is a stalemate that once broken, could lead to galactic chaos. Mischievous and resolved, courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin Skywalker has come of age in a time of great upheaval. The nineteen-year-old apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi is an enigma to the Jedi Council, and a challenge to his Jedi Master. Time has not dulled Anakin’s ambition, nor has his Jedi training tamed his independent streak. When an attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala’s life brings them together for the first time in ten years, it is clear that time also has not dulled Anakin’s intense feelings for the beautiful diplomat. The attack on Senator Amidala just before a crucial vote thrusts the Republic even closer to the edge of disaster. Masters Yoda and Mace Windu sense enormous unease. The dark side is growing, clouding the Jedi’s perception of the events. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, a slow rumble is building into the roar of thousands of soldiers readying for battle. But even as the Republic falters around them, Anakin and Padmé find a connection so intense that all else begins to fall away. Anakin will lose himself—and his way—in emotions a Jedi, sworn to hold allegiance only to the Order, is forbidden to have. Based on the story by George Lucas and the screenplay by George Lucas and Jonathan Hales, this intense and revealing novel by bestselling author R. A. Salvatore sheds new light on the legend of Star Wars—and skillfully illuminates one of our most beloved sagas. Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!
