He crushed her heart in high school. Now he’s back for a second chance. At sixteen, Grace Fisher made a vow—she’d never to speak to her best friend’s brother again. It was a reasonable response to the heart-crushing humiliation Zach Hunter dealt her in high school. She’s kept her word for more than a decade, but is her vow about to be broken? The Hunters are like Grace’s second family. When she’s invited to join their Olympic-style family reunion event, she can’t wait to bring home the win—until she learns Zach is making a surprise visit home. Suddenly, the stakes are much higher than a tarnished second-hand trophy because she’s determined to never lose her heart to Zach again. As the go-to stuntman for Hollywood’s A-list actors, Zach Hunter knows all about risk. But risking his heart for the all-grown-up Grace Fisher isn’t part of his plan. He’s home to heal from an injury and get straight back to his career. Besides, it’s obvious Grace has never forgiven him for the boneheaded stunt he pulled back in high school. But the more time they spend together, the less Zach wants to fight his desire to be near Grace. Can he convince her that the only stunts he pulls now are for the big screen—or is it too late to earn her trust? ***Best Friend Bargain is Book 3 in the Finding Forever Romance Series.

From the bestselling, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Witchmark comes a sweeping, romantic new fantasy set in a world reminiscent of Regency England, where women’s magic is taken from them when they marry. A sorceress must balance her desire to become the first great female magician against her duty to her family. Beatrice Clayborn is a sorceress who practices magic in secret, terrified of the day she will be locked into a marital collar that will cut off her powers to protect her unborn children. She dreams of becoming a full-fledged Magus and pursuing magic as her calling as men do, but her family has staked everything to equip her for Bargaining Season, when young men and women of means descend upon the city to negotiate the best marriages. The Clayborns are in severe debt, and only she can save them, by securing an advantageous match before their creditors come calling. In a stroke of luck, Beatrice finds a grimoire that contains the key to becoming a Magus, but before she can purchase it, a rival sorceress swindles the book right out of her hands. Beatrice summons a spirit to help her get it back, but her new ally exacts a price: Beatrice’s first kiss . . . with her adversary’s brother, the handsome, compassionate, and fabulously wealthy Ianthe Lavan. The more Beatrice is entangled with the Lavan siblings, the harder her decision becomes: If she casts the spell to become a Magus, she will devastate her family and lose the only man to ever see her for who she is; but if she marries—even for love—she will sacrifice her magic, her identity, and her dreams. But how can she choose just one, knowing she will forever regret the path not taken?
