Summary
When Jax Briggs calls in his last favor, Sonya Blade finds herself dragged into a mission that ticks exactly zero of her boxes: find a missing OIA agent named Kenshi Takahashi, navigate the treacherous politics of Outworld, and do it all with Johnny Cage as her unwanted shadow.
The man is a walking liability. Loud, reckless, and armed with a smile that suggests he's never been told no in his entire life. He's also frustratingly connected to everyone she needs to talk to and infuriatingly capable in a fight.
But the trail is getting colder, the Black Dragon is somehow involved, and every lead she follows suggests Kenshi's disappearance is tangled up in General Shao's rebellion. With no backup, no clear exit strategy, and a partner who keeps looking at her like she's the only person in the room, Sonya's in way over her head.

Summary
The Briggs farmhouse still feels familiar. That’s the problem.
Johnny Cage arrives for a Christmas weekend he never thought he’d be invited to again, armed with gifts, good intentions, and hard-won restraint. Sonya is there—sharp-eyed, guarded, and devastatingly familiar—and the space between them hums with everything they haven’t said since the divorce.
This is only the beginning. The feelings are unresolved, the attraction very much alive, and there are far too many meddling people with the best of intentions and the worst of execution.

Summary
Rumi is still not a hundred percent sure why she agreed to this objectively ridiculous “tutoring” session.
When it comes down to it, she thinks she's mainly doing this for Zoey, because Zoey is the only kind, genuine person at this whole damn school, and Rumi wants to help her. Zoey is absolutely hopeless with boys, and she needs help with her confidence before she tries to date one. Rumi sort of…didn’t mention the fact that all her own experience is with girls, but she’s pretty sure Zoey already knows. Kissing is a gender-neutral skill anyway, and Mira is going to handle the other part (thank god).
It’s definitely not because Mira made intense eye contact with her in the bathroom mirror last week while applying lipstick way too slowly. Or because of that time Mira coolly demolished the boy who was trying to score points by talking shit about Rumi at lunch.
Nope, it’s definitely not any of that. Rumi just wants to be a good friend to Zoey. A best friend. A friend who has never once been paralyzed by the desire to find and kiss every single one of Zoey’s freckles.

What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

Summary
After Penelope falls out with Eloise over her popular gossip blog, all the Bridgertons cut contact with her. It's the worst thing that has ever happened to her, but after a few months of wallowing, Penelope moves to Scotland and buys a book shop and gets on with her life. It turns out she can live without the Bridgertons and she's happy enough with the new life she's cobbled together. No one knows anything about her here and that's how she likes it: complete and total separation from her life back in London and her old online persona.
That is, until she spots Colin Bridgerton at the coffee shop next door.
