10 Resolutions. 2 Friends. 1 Shot At LoveI'll admit, having nine New Year's resolutions makes me twitchy. After all, I'm Allison Gottlieb; overthinker, overachiever, hot mess extraordinaire. I've spent my entire life trying to be the best but for some reason, I've always fallen short. When a near meltdown (and maybe too much champagne) lands me in front of an old friend, things finally start looking up.If Mateo Ramirez, personal trainer, self-discipline junkie, and the Internet's favorite smoothie-making underwear model, offers to help you, you say yes. We haven't seen each other in years but if anyone can help me turn my life around, it's him. His smokin' hot body is cold, hard proof of that.Don't judge me; I'm a lawyer. I like proof. A lot.Mateo promises to test my limits and help me face my fears. He's even feeding my neurosis by giving me that wonderfully even-numbered tenth resolution. But what I don't know is that, in the midst of helping me check each item off my agenda, he has some resolutions of his own. And they all lead to one thing: becoming more than friends.Eleven romantic comedy authors have teamed up to bring you *Happy New You*, a sexy, funny, heartwarming story about friendship, perseverance, and finding love in this crazy thing we call life. Oh, and the magic of onesie pajamas.

Happy New You

Sophie...has stupid awesome sex with a stranger. This New York City summer is hot and sticky as I move into my new apartment, which only makes what I'm feeling for my asshole neighbor even messier. Usually, I quietly reserve my opinions for my news articles, but when Tony argues with me, he tempts me to give in to my crazy. I yell back. He smiles. Something in me melts. It was only supposed to be one time, but we can't get enough. With Tony, I'm a new person, brave and unashamed. But anything between us can only be a fling. He's offered a job in Rome. That's good, right? With a long history of unreliable relationships, messy emotions are a complication I don't need. Tony...has a new sexy neighbor. I've worked my ass off to climb the ladder at my company, even threw away my passion to prove I'm worth something. When they offer me a high position, I should be focused on my work. But no one's ever spoken to me the way Sophie does. She pushes buttons I don't know I have. Forces me to confront a dream I gave up long ago. In two months, we go our separate ways. No hurt feelings. No misunderstandings. That's the deal. She doesn't need to know I'll be playing for keeps.

Sweet Disaster

Love is her enemy...until his beast sets her free. The Lost Alphars Series, Book 1 Cymbeline Kendall's life is quiet, solitary-until a letter appears in her P.O. box. Then she becomes an Incendiary, a human chosen at birth to be trained to strike like lightning to take out the most dangerous of the Werekind, then fade back into the shadows. She is a weapon only to be used by the leader of North American shifters. But when she learns the Alphar was unseated three years ago, she sets out to find who's been pulling her trigger. Kerrick Masterson has borne the burden of leadership for only a short time, yet he already feels the Alphar power tempting his soul toward the insanity that destroyed his predecessor. He has no time for the woman who breaks into his compound claiming to be his Incendiary, but his beast insists he make the time-for his mate. In one searing, soul-consuming breath, everything Cymbeline was taught to believe is ripped away. Yet the mystery of who's been sending her orders remains...and finding the answer could lead to all-out war. Warning: Contains an assassin who doesn't tolerate those who hurt the weak, and a shifter leader determined to unlock his new mate's repressed emotions-even if that puts his balls at risk. Explicit sex, violence, and references to abuse that could be rough on sensitive readers.
