I’LL STOP THE WORLD by Lauren Thoman (4/1)
Trapped in a dead-end town, Justin Warren has had his life defined by the suspicious deaths of his grandparents. The unsolved crime happened long before Justin was born, but the ripple effects are still felt after thirty-eight years. Justin always knew he wouldn’t have much of a future. He just never imagined that his life might take him backward. In a cosmic twist of fate, Justin’s choices send him crashing into the path of determined optimist Rose Yin. Justin and Rose live in the same town and attend the same school, but have never met―because Rose lives in 1985. Justin won’t be born for another twenty years. And his grandparents are still alive―for now. In a series of events that reverberate through multiple lifetimes, Justin and Rose have a week to get Justin unstuck in time and put each of them in control of their futures―by solving a murder that hasn’t even happened yet.
 
THE BETTER HALF by Alli Frank and Asha Youmans (6/13)
A “coming of age at any age” novel about a woman who, at 43, is looking forward to the most fabulous part of her life. But an unexpected romance has her questioning who she really is and what really matters most.
 
Mindy’s Book Studio celebrates emerging and diverse voices, from fresh romantic comedies and poignant coming-of-age stories to suspenseful dramas with unforgettable female protagonists. https://amazonpublishing.amazon.com/mindys-book-studio.html
 

We are excited to share some of Carly Phillips’ Most Anticipated 2023 Releases:

JUST ANOTHER SPARK (1/17)
Series: The Kingston Family #8 | Tropes: Billionaire
He’s a rock star wanted by millions.
She’s a wife willing to fight for their love.

Rock star Dash Kingston is finishing the last leg of his band’s U.S. tour. Exhausted and ready to be home, he can’t wait to see his girl. Time zones, show times, and the demands of his career have made married life harder than expected. Even knowing the rock star life wouldn’t make their relationship easy.

Cassidy Kingston thought she was ready to handle being married to a man idolized by women everywhere. She believes in their love even though the separations when the band is on tour can be torture. But the paparazzi and media don’t make their time apart easier and the gossip headlines hit her harder than they should. She trusts her husband even if she misses him like crazy.

When rumors surface that Dash is seeing someone, what’s a girl to do? Surprise her husband and remind him of what he’s been missing. Except you know what they say about the best laid plans.
 
SERENDIPITY (2/3)
Series: Serendipity #1 | Tropes: Billionaire, Opposites Attract, Second Chances, Small Town and Blue Collar
He’s from the wrong side of the tracks. She lived in the house on the hill.
Now their fortunes have reversed…but their long-ago attraction still burns.

From high school golden girl to wife of a high-powered New York attorney, Faith Harrington lived the dream. Until divorce and her father’s imprisonment for fraud left her with almost nothing. Now she’s back in her hometown to redesign her life, and not every face is friendly. Least of all the town rebel, whose memory lingered long after they shared one searing teenage kiss.

Ethan Barron is a bad boy. Was. Was a bad boy. Now a man—a very rich man—he quietly buys the old Harrington mansion to thumb his nose at Serendipity and the people who looked down on him. But until he reconciles with his brothers and builds a life, the victory rings hollow.

Faith had been a rich girl ripe for rebellion, and his shamelessly stolen kiss still burns in his dreams. Only a fool would risk feeding town gossip by asking her to redecorate the house she grew up in. But Ethan never did choose easy. Not when the hard way promises a much sweeter—and hotter—reward.

Note: Serendipity is book one of a previously published series by NYT Bestselling Author Carly Phillips. Contains a tarnished golden girl, a bad boy in search of redemption, a brother whose first order of business is to ticket his big bro’s Jag, and a town that runs on nosiness.
 
JUST ONE FLING (4/18)
Series: The Kingston Family #9 | Tropes: Billionaire
Carly Phillips’ bestselling Kingston and Dare families merge with the heroes readers have been asking for!

World famous actor Harrison Dare gets his story!
*Though connected by family, all books stand alone.
 
NY Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today Bestseller, Carly Phillips is the queen of Alpha Heroes, at least according to The Harlequin Junkie Reviewer.. Carly married her college sweetheart and lives in Purchase, NY along with her crazy dogs who are featured on her Facebook and Instagram pages. The author of over 75 romance novels, she has raised two incredible daughters and is now an empty nester. Carly’s book, The Bachelor, was chosen by Kelly Ripa as her first romance club pick.

    Just Another Spark and Just One Fling- I’ve read some of the Dare family series and some books featuring the Kingston family musicians. I would like to see if the rumors are true, Is Dash cheating on Cassidy? Will he be able to prove he’s innocent! There’s something special about arrogant rockstar heroes! I would like to read the actor, Harrison Dare’s story too.
    I’ve gotten behind on her stories. I would love to catch up!
