From the New York Times bestselling author of Stepbrother Dearest, comes a new forbidden STANDALONE romance. What happens when the one you want is the only one you can't have? It was set in stone. Elle and I were getting married. After years of rebelling against everything good and wholesome, I finally gave in and took up with a nice girl. After a long-distance relationship, I moved into her family's guesthouse so we could spend time together in the months before the wedding. Elle was unlike anyone I'd ever been with. She was so innocent, and I had to respect her choice to wait until after we were married to have sex. I'd accepted that as my fate--even learned to control my desires. Until I met her...the one. That was when restraint became a problem...especially since "the one" wasn't Elle. It was her sister, Evangeline. And I was screwed. Told in alternating points of view, Sins of Sevin is a full-length standalone novel.

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new, sexy standalone novel. We met in the least likely of places. It started out innocently enough. I was "ScreenGod" and she was "Montana," but of course, those weren't our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind. Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape-my sanctuary. Her real name was Eden, I'd soon come to find out. From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed. She was an addiction. At first, we knew nothing about each other's real identities...and she was adamant that we keep things that way. Anonymity had no effect on our unstoppable chemistry, though. If anything, it allowed us to open up even more in ways we may not have otherwise. Eden was funny, intelligent, gorgeous-everything I'd ever wanted in a woman. But I couldn't really have her. I had accepted things would have to stay the way they were-until the day I found a clue that led me straight to her. So I took a chance. And that was when our love story really began.

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start. On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude in a campus bathroom. (The ladies' room was out of order. So, I used the men's room. Don't judge.) I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents' house was allergic to our cat. So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb--the British guy from the men's room. And so it began...my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?The guy knew how to push every one of my buttons. Sometimes I'd email him to express my aggravation and disdain. He'd actually rewrite my own words and send them back to me. That was the type of infuriating person Caleb was. So frustrating. And... Sometimes incredibly funny and endearingly sweet. And hot. He eventually grew on me, and Caleb soon became one of my best friends that year. Too bad he was headed back to England soon, so nothing could happen between us--for so many reasons. I definitely couldn't fall in love with him, especially since all we had was just one year.

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.At first, my neighbor Deacon frustrated me.Sure, he was great-looking and friendly.But our walls were thin, and on occasion, he'd bring women to his place and keep me awake while he "entertained" them.As a single mother to an infant, I didn't appreciate it.So, finally it was my turn.When my daughter wouldn't stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my door.Miraculously, at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying.

We got closer.Until one night we crossed the line.Our friendship turned into a complicated mess.I'd gone and fallen for a guy who'd sworn off commitment and kids.I knew Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn't fit into any plan he'd ever imagined for himself.He was wrong for me-so wrong that I'd dubbed him the "anti-boyfriend."Then why did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?
