Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez
No one’s perfect—but the gorgeous veterinarian with the bod of a Greek god, Xavier Rush, comes close! That is until he opens his mouth and says the completely wrong thing. Luckily, there’s nothing Samantha loves more than proving an asshole wrong (or at least getting him to admit he made a mistake). After one incredible date, she is forced to admit to Xavier that her family needs her, a relationship would be impossible, and she must move 2,000 miles away. But no amount of distance is enough to forget the spark between them. Will the two of them work to make theirs a love worth remembering? Find out April 1st in Say You’ll Remember Me.
The Sirens by Emilia Hart
Out April 1st, The Sirens expertly weaves together three stories of sisterhood in a breathtaking tale you’re sure to love. It’s 2019, and Lucy has woken up from a dream to find her hands around an ex-lover’s throat. She flees to her older sister’s house on the Australian coast to recover—but Jess has vanished. Desperate to solve this mystery, Lucy begins to read her left-behind diaries from adolescence.
It’s 1999, and Jess, a lonely sixteen-year-old in a middle-of-nowhere town with a rare allergy to water, has just caught the eye of her young, charming art teacher. He sees a power and maturity in her that no one else has. What could go wrong?
It’s 1800, and twin sisters Mary and Eliza have just been torn from their home of Ireland and forced to face their fear of water on a convict ship bound for Australia. But as they sail further away from everything they know, they notice the sea starting to call to them.
Firebird by Juliette Cross

When Julianus Dakkia, Roman general and nephew to the emperor, first met Malina, a Dacian dancer, sparks flew. Years later, when she appears before him on the battlefield, he shifts into his dragon form to save her without a second thought—even though it could lead to his political demise. The world sees him as a ruthless, mighty warrior, but Malina can’t resist the fact that her soul has always seemed to answer his. Their love could be their salvation—or their death.

Camille Ashwood is a planner—and she’s about to pull off her best plan yet!
