The unputdownable, unforgettable thriller from #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Julie Soto, perfect for fans of A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER and THIRTEEN REASONS WHY. Jodi never asked to be a Thrasher – a member of the high school elite. But Jodi has been best friends with Zack Thrasher her whole life, and like it or not, that means she’s branded a Thrasher by the rest of the school. And different as she feels to the other four Thrashers – all talented, privileged and beautiful – she can’t help appreciating her social status, especially compared to her violent home life. But being a Thrasher isn’t worth dying for – except, apparently, it was to Emily Mills. Sweet but intense Emily, whose fixation on Zack brought her close to the in-crowd, but never close enough. Emily, who took her own life on prom night. When a detective finds a copy of Emily’s diary, there are whispers that she was ‘Thrashed’ – bullied to death by Zack and his gang. They are arrested, charged, and ostracised, their once bright futures extinguished. Then begin the texts from unfamiliar numbers, inexplicable light flares, the run of bad luck that becomes a string of near-fatal accidents… and the constant dreams of Emily. But something isn’t adding up. The diary is too convenient. In fact, it’s filled with Jodi’s own secrets, repurposed by Emily. But why? One thing is clear. Emily isn’t done with the Thrashers.

Ambitious and successful businesswoman Zinnia is done with waiting around for love. Turning her dating profile into a marriage-merger proposal is the perfect solution: a few strategic meetings, move in together, get married - all within thirty days. Everyone doubts her plan . . . but then she meets Jordan, a near-perfect applicant with a big secret. Jordan's family has spent the last decade starring in a massively popular reality show about their lives, and he has finally agreed to join the cast. Already out of his comfort zone, Production are now demanding that, in order to boost viewership, he needs to get married on the show . . . to his ex. Realising that Zinnia could be his way out of the situation, Jordan proposes a mutually beneficial marriage agreement: she gets her business partner husband, and he gets to help his family on his terms - by marrying Zinnia instead.

It's officially booty o'clock, I'm alone again in my kitchen choking down a slice of terrible chocolate cake...and I'm pretty sure I just got drunk texted by the man I have a ginormous crush on. I've been daydreaming about Eliot Hoffman's dimples for two months, and even though I'm sure this was a mistake on his end, it doesn't mean it's not an opportunity on mine. It's the middle of the night, and I just wanna talk to him. So I text him back. And then somehow we keep talking . . . ALL NIGHT. We're both insomniacs, so talking all night soon turns into talking EVERY night. And talking about nothing soon turns into talking about something. And here we go from in-depth analysis of reality TV to my relationship with my family, to his amazing artwork. There's no topic we don't cover . . . Except for who I really am. It's the only question of his I won't answer. As my crush turns into an avalanche of Eliot, I think of him all the time now. But if he knew who I was, the entire house of cards we've built this relationship on would come toppling down. I want him to be mine, but we might never be more than just a sweet dream . . .

WELCOME BACK TO BLUE RIVER RANCH . . . Dallas Six months ago, a fire on my ranch took my fiancée. And my whole world along with her. Just when I thought I'd never feel anything again, a six-year-old landed on my porch-with a paternity test confirming what I knew the moment I saw her. Now the people who brought her to me want her back-and I'll do anything to keep her. Even marry the fiery redhead who snuck into my half-built house and charmed my daughter faster than I could throw her out. A fake marriage to keep my daughter safe? Deal, as long it's clear this arrangement has an expiration date. Willow Marrying Dallas Thorne could be the best and worst decision I've ever made. The best because, like me, he's sworn off the four-letter word indefinitely. The worst because he's rugged in every sense of the word and fiercely protective. So naturally, I'm drawn to him like a moth to a flame. Only this flame is bound to burn me alive if I let myself fall.
