"What happens when the lines between make-believe and matters of the heart begin to blur? ... But can two people working in the world of acting fake it till they make it."--Page 4 of cover.
Revised and re-editedWhat would it be like to relinquish control?Neat and orderly, Ian Williams, is almost finished with his Master's degree in Psychology. All he has left to complete are finals and one simple project; take part in an outreach program for inmates close to release. With his knowledge, it should be easy to help an inmate prepare for life outside again. What he doesn't expect is Nico. A dirty talking, tattooed beast of a man who turns his world upside down when he says, "Mine!"What if you find your soulmate in the place you least expect it?With only a few months left in prison, Nico West is ready to move on with his life. He's got his business, a best friend, and his mamá waiting for him when he gets out. What he doesn't expect is a buttoned-up, bow tie wearing cutie who thinks he's going to help Nico prepare for life after his release. But Nico is a man who knows what he wants and takes it. One word and Ian will know where he stands, "Mine!"All of the books in the "He's Mine" series can be read as stand-alones, but are more enjoyable if read in order as characters from previous books may make an appearance. Our books are a little bit dirty and a whole lotta sweet. They're low-angst, contain explicit mm lovin', insta-love, possessive alphas who take what they want, #caveman, and maybe a virgin or two. You've been warned.
The #1 New York Times bestselling (mostly true) memoir from the hilarious author of Furiously Happy. “Gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate.”—O, The Oprah Magazine When Jenny Lawson was little, all she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for it. In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened, Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing, yet wonderful moments of our lives.

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M

Charlotte. I thought I'd lost my bag for good. Until, the cutest guy I ever laid eyes on hung out of the moving train's window holding my bag. He wanted to chuck it to me, but my precious laptop was in it. So we agreed to meet at the next station. To thank my six foot plus Adonis I offered to buy him a drink. It was only right. He saved my bag, and he had twinkling cobalt blue eyes that made my toes curl. He was funny and charming and gorgeous at the bar. And the chemistry... off the charts, but I had career dreams that didn't include handsome bag rescuers. A few more drinks later I was rethinking my plans. Alex Turner looked like he would be great in bed, and I had a box of condoms back at my place. Surely one night was allowed...
