A Love Song for Ricki Wilde (2024)
Tia Williams
"This book reads like the best kind of love song: tender, smart and undeniably sexy. Tia Williams simply doesn't miss."

If Tomorrow Doesn't Come (2023)
Jen St Jude
"This book is devastatingly brilliant. Jen St. Jude is hands down one of the most talented new voices in YA, and soon, everyone will know it."

Nothing Burns as Bright as You (2022)
Ashley Woodfolk
"There is something sacred in the way Woodfolk bears witness to the scariest, most vulnerable parts of an untamable heart. A fierce, wrenching, deeply honest look at first love--I invite Ashley Woodfolk to break my heart with a book like this anytime."
