Lies Between Us By Jessica Goodman
Our first release is a thrilling murder mystery that follows the Gold sisters and the Silver brothers, whose families lived in side-by-side mansions. They’ve known each other their whole lives, but after a beach party that ends in tragedy, it’s revealed that their lives aren’t as perfect as it seems. Each of the Gold girls is under pressure. The oldest is keeping a devastating secret from her Silver boyfriend, the middle is yearning for someone she can never have, and the youngest has just uncovered something that could destroy their island. This sounds like the perfect summer thriller!

Good Luck, Babe! By Erin Baldwin
This next June book release is for all of our reality TV lovers! Noelle and Yumi used to be best friends, that is, until an awkward kiss ended their friendship a year ago. But when they’re brought back together after being offered a last-minute spot on their favorite race-around-the-world reality show, they can’t pass up the opportunity. The only problem is that it’s an all-couples season, and Noelle hasn’t spoken to her “girlfriend” in a year. Noelle is willing to do anything to win the prize money to pay for her father’s medical expenses, even if she has to fake-date her ex-best friend on national television. Will the two pull off this fake relationship or get sent home empty-handed and brokenhearted? We can’t think of a better read for the summer than a fake-dating Amazing Race-inspired romance!
Release Date: June 23

As if things couldn’t get any worse, Jason’s cousin Marcus is stuck with her, and he’s threatening to spill the secret that they’re no longer together. Can Zadie fix her relationship with Jason before he wakes up, or will Marcus put a stop to her plans?
