Every Thursday of the second complete week in April is Celebrate Teen Literature Day. That means that today, April 17th, is the day to celebrate. Whether that means enjoying some YA authors, getting a new book for the teen in your life, or simply remembering some of the best books of your youth. It’s all about reading and raising awareness about the joys for the younger generation. Speaking of awareness, check out the list of books below that you should be aware are releasing today.
The Duke Disaster is the first book in The League of Extraordinary Widows Series by Kathleen Ayers. The Duke of Hartwood is known for his discipline and devotion to propriety, upholding the sterling reputation of the prestigious Barnes family. When the widowed Celia Barnes—a distant relative by marriage—begins stirring up scandal in London’s social scene, the family tasks Hartwood with reigning her in before her antics stain their name.
Newly liberated from a loveless marriage, Celia revels in her freedom and refuses to bow to anyone’s expectations, least of all the arrogant Duke. Their clash of wills leads to mutual disdain…until a heated argument sparks a passionate kiss, and a shared carriage ride ignites an attraction neither can deny. What begins as mutual irritation may just unravel into a dangerous and undeniable affair.
The Charm City Chill Series by USA Today bestselling author Jamie K. Schmidt begins with The Sin Bin. Jackson “Jax” Thompson, the tough enforcer for the Charm City Chill, is used to being feared on and off the ice. But after a viral fight puts him in the spotlight, he realizes it’s time for a change. Dr. Lauren Mackenzie, the head of a busy emergency vet clinic, wants nothing to do with violent men—until she meets Jax, who brings in an injured kitten with his own bleeding knuckles. Beneath his tough exterior, Lauren discovers a caring side to Jax, but as the pressure mounts both on and off the ice, Jax must choose between protecting his team, staying true to himself, and fighting for a future with Lauren.
Not Quite the End is the third book in the Lindsay Lane FBI Mystery Thriller Series by Nora Kane. FBI agent Lindsay Lane is pulled back into a deadly past when a murder victim from a failed mission is finally identified. Her search for the truth leads to a snowy town—and her brother Liam at the center of a dangerous criminal web. As suspicion mounts and secrets unravel, Lindsay must choose: to protect her brother or expose the truth that could destroy them both.
Two rival bikers, bound by bloodshed and buried secrets, become entangled in a deadly game of lust, hate, and loyalty in Enemy, the first book in the Vulture Hollow MC Series by K.A. Merikan.
