New Book Releases: June 1st to June 7th, 2026

Happy JUNE!

For Canadians, this is the kick-off to summer. Not faux-summer. Not construction-season-has-started-summer. Not will-the-overnight-frost-kill-my-newly-planted-vegetable-garden-summer. But like, summer summer! In fact, my husband and I got married on the solstice last year because we’re such summer fanatics.

I digress. Happy Summer!!!

To kick off the season in a truly sunshiney-way, we’ve got more than 500 new titles hitting shelves. I’ll fill ya in on 5 and Vince will cover another 10 on our podcast.

USA Today bestselling author Kristin Lee is back with another installment of “The O’Ryan Family” series! Head Play lands June 5th.

For Annika and Parker – coming together is necessity turned into need. She’s hired to get into his head, and he’s the football star who’s going from session to session letting her.

From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes Just Playing for Keeps! The second book in the “Hockey Ever After” series will be here June 3rd.

From public displays of being dumped and humiliated, to faking a relationship at a high-stakes wedding in an effort to pull off the ultimate deception, these two will go from making everyone believe the fake-out to believing they may have actually made something they weren’t prepared for.

#1 bestselling author Janice Hallett returns with the second children’s murder mystery in “A Box Full of Murders.” Death at the Museum will be here June 4th!

For Ava & Luke, it’ll be using the next box to unravel the clues to uncover the mystery of the body in the museum basement. It’ll take school workbooks, museum records letters and secret recordings to assist them on the case – and hopefully before the killer can strike again.

The highly anticipated final chapter of the bestselling “Dark Olympus” series arrives June 2nd! New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert delivers up Shattered Gods on June 2nd!

When Zeus intervenes in the love between Circe and Hermes, the fallout is an arranged marriage, devastation, and speculation of murder. It was the tragedy that found Hermes prepared to see Olympus fall.

Fifteen years later, Hermes, with Atlanta at her side, is poised to see Olympus as perhaps a place to save under a new Zeus and Hades. But there’s one side that’s seeking revenge – and Circe isn’t prepared to rest until she’s found it.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Goldberg brings us Murder by Design on June 1st; the first book in the “Edison Bixby” series!

Beyond being wildly handsome, intelligent, and a top-notch insurance investigator, Edison Bixby is also sensationally rude after a traumatic head injury. Washed-up actor, Wally Nash, is paired off with him to keep him from offending anyone. And now the pair are investigating the death of one woman who fell down a staircase at a local shopping mall in front of a dozen witnesses. It seems cut and dry, but Edison isn’t convinced it wasn’t a murder by design in this epic new whodunnit.
