From the writer who brought you the Irish romance The Upside of Falling Down comes a new novel about secrets, friendship, reinvention, and unexpected love in the Scottish Highlands.June Merriweather is on the run—from her own life. Her brother is dead, her parents are liars, and her college major is a joke. Apart from her best friend, Matt, June is desperate for reinvention. And a one-way ticket out of Cincinnati to the Scottish Highlands is a good place to start.With a backpack, an urn, and a secret, June begins again. She snags a job at a café and finds lodging at a quaint inn with a quirky cast of housemates. The only problem: the inn’s infuriatingly perceptive (and sexy) owner, Lennox. He’s suspicious of June. After all, no one comes to Scotland in the winter unless they’re running from something. From rocky start to sizzling temptation, June’s new world is exhilarating…and one detour away from disaster.With her past and her future both vying for attention, June can’t begin to picture where her reimagined life is headed next. And falling in love with the last person she expected is only the beginning.

Convention doesn’t carry much weight in Alder Creek. It doesn’t in Amoris Westmore’s family either. Daughter of a massage therapist and a pothead artist, inheritor of her grandmother’s vinyl collection, and blissfully entering her senior year in high school, Amoris never wants to leave her progressive hometown. Why should she? Everything changes when Jamison Rush moves in next door. Jamison was Amoris’s first crush, and their last goodbye still stings. But Jamison stirs more than bittersweet memories. One of the few Black students in Alder Creek, Jamison sees Amoris’s idyllic town through different eyes. He encourages Amoris to look a little closer, too. When Jamison discovers a racist mural at Alder Creek High, Amoris’s worldview is turned upside down.

For an American woman on an impromptu summertime trip to an Irish island, life changes in a heartbeat in a refreshing romance by the author of June, Reimagined. The last thing Chicagoan Maeve Kaminski expects to inherit from her estranged biological father is a pub. Now thousands of miles from home, Maeve is on a remote Irish island and the new owner of The Moorings. Charming? Yes. Practical? No. The bright side: Maeve is in debt, and off-loading a famous pub for a pretty penny could be the gift she's been waiting for. Briggs Murphy is suffering from a broken heart. Literally. Recently diagnosed with the same condition that killed his father, he's not looking for love. But when Maeve shows up with her color-coordinated datebook and striking blue eyes, he falls hard. Too bad she's off-limits. According to familial legend, they're enemies. And for the sake of the island, they better stay that way. Love was never the plan. But for Briggs and Maeve, it might just save them both. To make it work, they'll have to rewrite history...before it's too late.

Šestnásťročná Zander Osbornová žije vo vlastnom svete a očividne sa trápi. Jedného dňa jej rodičia oznámia, že ju prihlásili do tábora Padova, päťtýždňového programu pre problémových tínedžerov. Zander tam nezapadá, alebo si to aspoň myslí. Pre svojich spolutáborníkov má len jedno označenie: blázni. Väčšina z nich nemá ďaleko od diagnózy. Je tam napríklad Cassie, jej spolubývajúca, ktorá sama seba opisuje ako manicko-depresívno-bipolárno-anorektickú, alebo Grover Cleveland (áno, ako ten americký prezident), milý, ale konfliktný chlapec, ktorý čaká, že sa uňho prejaví schizofrénia. Pravdepodobne sa ani jeden z nich nemýli. V tábore je aj Bek, očarujúci patologický klamár. Popri skupinových „zverapiách“ a zakázaných nočných vychádzkach vznikajú nepravdepodobné priateľstvá a ako michiganské leto graduje, štyria tínedžeri postupne odhaľujú svoje tajomstvá. Zander priťahuje komplikovaný Grover a ona začne uvažovať, či môže byť ešte šťastná. No ak sa má dať znovu dokopy, musí si najprv upratať v hlave.
