'The Simple Wild was my favourite of [K.A. Tucker's] and I've read them all!' Colleen Hoover, New York Times bestselling author and #1 TikTok sensation 
 
 
Calla Fletcher was two when her mother moved them both from the Alaskan wild to Toronto, leaving their extreme, rural lifestyle - and Calla's father - behind. 
 
But when Calla receives a call from her father with unexpected news, she makes the long trip back to the remote town where she was born. 
 
There, she meets Jonah: a quiet, brooding, proud Alaskan pilot who is convinced that before long, he will be flying a pampered city girl back to where she belongs. And whilst he is probably right, Calla is determined to prove him wrong. 
 
As time passes, Calla forms an undeniable bond with the burly pilot. But Calla is not in Alaska to stay, and Jonah will never leave. 
 
It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried - and failed at - years ago. 
 
It's a simple truth that turns out not to be so simple after all...

The Simple Wild

From the internationally best-selling author of The Simple Wild comes the continuation of a woman's journey to Alaska and a life she never imagined for herself. 
 
Calla Fletcher returns to Toronto a different person, struggling to find direction and still very much in love with the rugged bush pilot she left behind. 
 
When he unexpectedly makes a proposition she can't dismiss, Calla rushes back to Alaska to begin her future with Jonah. But she soon learns that even the best intentions can lead to broken promises: Jonah is gone more than he's home, and Calla feels isolated in their rural log cabin with harsh conditions that stretch far beyond the cold, dark, winter months. 
 
It's not the life Calla imagined for herself - but is it a life Calla can learn to love? Or is she destined to follow in her mother's fleeing footsteps after all?

Sure, it's ranked way below any of the trademarked amusement parks and maybe foot traffic could be better. But it's a fun place to work, even if 'fun' isn't exactly Lauren's middle name. 
 
Her coworker Asa Williamson, on the other hand, is all about finding ways to enliven his days at Cold World - whether that means organizing the Secret Santa or teasing Lauren. When the owner asks Lauren and Asa to propose something (anything, really) to raise more revenue, their rivalry heats up as they compete to come up with the best idea. But the situation is more dire than they thought, and it might take these polar opposites working together to save the day...

Monica Murphy

Weston Fontaine is the hottest senior at Lancaster Prep. 
 
He could have any girl on campus, except for one. 
 
Me. 
 
I'm a Lancaster, meaning I'm basically untouchable-or so I thought. My family own the school which I have to endure before I can return to what I love most: ballet. 
 
West doesn't make my time here easy. He's arrogant. Crude. Insufferable. Yet he's the only boy I've ever let touch me... 
 
You see, West and I? We share a secret. In Paris, I revealed parts of myself to him I've never shown anyone else. And he did the same. 
 
So what happens when you helplessly fall for the one person you know is bad for you?

I’ll Always Be With You

The Frosts are a typical American family. Barb and John, married almost fifty years, are testy and bored with each other... who could blame them after all this time? At least they have their daughters-- Barb's favorite, the perfect, brilliant Juliet; and John's darling, the free-spirited Sadie. The girls themselves couldn't be more different, but at least they got along, more or less. It was fine. It was enough. 
 
Until the day John had a stroke, and their house of cards came tumbling down. 
 
Now Sadie has to put her career as a teacher and struggling artist in New York on hold to come back and care for her beloved dad - and face the love of her life, whose heart she broke, and who broke hers. Now Juliet has to wonder if people will notice that despite her perfect career as a successful architect, her perfect marriage to a charming Brit, and her two perfect daughters, she's spending an increasing amount of time in the closet having panic attacks. 
 
And now Barb and John will finally have to face what's been going on in their marriage all along.

Always the Last to Know

A heartbreaking and uplifting story from the bestselling author of TikTok sensation Pack up the Moon

Emerson, Georgia, and Marley have been best friends ever since they met at a weight-loss camp as teens. When Emerson tragically passes away, she leaves one final wish for her best friends: to conquer the fears they still carry as adults. 
 
For each of them, that means something different. For Marley, it's coming to terms with the survivor's guilt she's carried around since her twin sister's death, which has left her blind to the real chance for romance in her life. For Georgia, it's about learning to stop trying to live up to her mother's and brother's ridiculous standards, and learning to accept the love her ex-husband has tried to give her. 
 
But as Marley and Georgia grow stronger, the real meaning of Emerson's dying wish becomes truly clear: more than anything, she wanted her friends to love themselves. 
 
A novel of compassion and insight, Good Luck With That tells the story of two women who learn to embrace themselves just the way they are.

Good Luck with That

A heartfelt and emotional story from the bestselling author of TikTok sensation Pack up the Moon

Emma London never thought she had anything in common with her grandmother Genevieve. The regal old woman came from wealthy New England stock, but that didn't protect her from life's cruelest blows: the disappearance of her young son, followed by the premature death of her husband. Genevieve rose from those ashes of grief and built a fashion empire that was respected the world over, even when it meant neglecting her other son. 
 
When Emma's own mother died, her father abandoned her on his mother's doorstep. Genevieve took Emma in and reluctantly raised her - until Emma got pregnant her senior year of high school. Genevieve kicked her out with nothing but the clothes on her back. 
 
Now Emma has built a wonderful life for herself and her teenage daughter, Riley. So what is she to do when Genevieve does the one thing Emma never expected of her and, after not speaking to her for nearly two decades, calls and asks for help?

Life and Other Inconveniences

Lillie Silva knew life as an empty nester would be hard after her only child left for college, but when her husband abruptly dumps her for another woman just as her son leaves, her world comes crashing down. Besides the fact that this announcement is a complete surprise (to say the least), what shocks Lillie most is that she isn't heartbroken. She's furious. 
 
Lillie has loved her life on Cape Cod, but as a mother, wife, and nurse-midwife, she's used to caring for other people . . . not taking care of herself. Now, alone for the first time in her life, she finds herself going a little rogue. Is it over the top to crash her ex-husband's wedding dressed like the angel of death? Sure! Should she release a skunk into his perfect new home? Probably not! But it beats staying home and moping. 
 
She finds an unexpected ally in her glamorous sister, with whom she's had a tense relationship all these years. And an unexpected babysitter in, of all people, Ben Hallowell, the driver in a car accident that nearly killed Lillie twenty years ago. And then there's Ophelia, her ex-husband's oddly lost niece, who could really use a friend. 
 
It's the end of Lillie's life as she knew it. But sometimes the perfect next chapter surprises you . . . out of the clear blue sky.

Marooned in a sprawling farmhouse in Norfolk, teenage Linda Radlett feels herself destined for greater things. She longs for love, but how will she ever find it? She can't even get a signal on her mobile phone. Linda's strict, former rock-star father terrifies any potential suitors away, while her bohemian mother, wafting around in silver jewellery, answers Linda's urgent questions about love with upsettingly vivid allusions to animal husbandry. 
 
When Linda eventually moves to London, she doesn't want to marry 'a man who looks like a pudding', as her good and dull sister Louisa has done, and marries the flashy, handsome son of a UKIP peer instead. But love, and her new life in London, are not quite what she expected . . .
