Bet Me Jennifer Crusie

Sydney thought dating her longtime crush, Jason, was the start of her dream life—until a devastating family secret revealed he might be her half-brother. But if that’s true, why can’t she shake her feelings for him? Meanwhile, Tyra has uncovered a chilling truth about her adoptive parents: they murdered her biological family to steal her inheritance—and now they’ll do whatever it takes to silence her. She faces an impossible choice: hunt or be hunted. Bound by loyalty, haunted by dark secrets, and taunted by forbidden love, the two best friends are hurtling toward a truth that could shatter their lives. As their worlds collide, the choices they make could mean survival—or destruction—for them both.

Kind is tangled in the sticky web of unrequited love-he saw it coming like a train in slow motion. He's the guy watching his crush fawn over someone else, get all starry-eyed over another, and eventually hand out wedding proposals like candy-but to someone else, of course. Wale has long been aware of Kind's feelings for him, and though he is Kind's closest friend of nearly a decade, steadfastly devoted and unwaveringly straight, he nonetheless desires Kind to stand as his best man as he weds his long-time fiancée. Concealing his inner turmoil behind the guise of a smile, Wale shares his vulnerabilities with Kind alone, revealing to his dearest friend what he shields from the world. And now, with futures as clear as a foggy mirror, these two stumble through life's chaotic obstacle course, hoping not to trip on any life lessons or land face-first in heartbreak. Where will fate lead them next? Only time, and maybe a good laugh, will tell!

Brenda had gambled on love twice, and both times, fate dealt with her. The first heartbreak was bitter and better to let go, but the second? That one shattered her. She had poured every ounce of herself into it, only to be left standing in the ruins of her own devotion. Love had drained her, left her hollow, and taught her that vulnerability was a luxury she could no longer afford. So, she made a choice—a bold one. Love was no longer part of her story. Brenda let go of the romantic fairy tales and turned the page to a new chapter. One where she wasn’t pining or hoping. She was single, powerful, and utterly unshaken in the freedom of being beholden to no one. She wasn’t looking for love anymore because she had found something even better: herself. And in this new life, she didn’t just live—she thrived. * * * * * Until….Spencer came in... Ready to give her another taste of love. Could she allow herself to feel again? To trust again? Or would she choose the familiar safety of solitude, where her heart could never break? L.O.V.V.E.E – E.V.O.L.V.E

My mind reeled as the realization dawned on me that the man I had casually bumped into was none other than Christopher Hemsworth. A wave of panic surged through me. What if he was annoyed that I had bumped into him? My heart raced at the thought, a mixture of fear and anxiety knotting my stomach. I replayed our brief encounter in my mind, worrying about the impression I might have made. As I tried to compose myself, I suddenly noticed his gaze shifting across the room. My breath caught in my throat as I realized he wasn't just looking in my direction; he was looking directly at me. My heart pounded in my chest, every beat echoing in my ears. His hazel eyes, so captivating up close, now seemed to pierce through the distance between us, locking onto mine with an intensity that made my pulse quicken. For a moment, everything else faded away-the bustling crowd, the applause, even the sound of my own thoughts. It was as if the world had narrowed down to just the two of us, connected by an invisible thread. His expression was unreadable, a mixture of curiosity and something else I couldn't quite place. I felt a flush rise to my cheeks, a mix of embarrassment and an inexplicable thrill. I stood there, rooted to the spot, my mind a whirlwind of emotions. The admiration I had felt earlier was now tinged with awe and a touch of disbelief. How could someone so extraordinary take notice of me? The sheer magnetism of his presence made it hard to look away, and yet I was painfully aware of every second that passed under his scrutiny. As he continued to look at me, I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. Was he recalling our encounter with amusement, or was he as surprised as I was by this unexpected turn of events? The uncertainty gnawed at me, but beneath it all, a small spark of excitement flickered, kindling a hope I dared not fully acknowledge.
