Welcome to another new workweek! On Monday, April 6th, we’re celebrating World Table Tennis Day. Also known as ping‑pong or whiff‑whaff, table tennis is the indoor cousin of tennis – played with paddles, a lightweight ball, and lightning‑quick reflexes. It’s surprisingly easy on the joints, great for hand‑eye coordination, and solid cardio, too. All you really need is a table, a couple of paddles, a ball – and someone willing to volley back.
There are more than 50 new books hitting shelves to start the week – take a look and see what’s new!
Season of Naga Volume 2 by Iona Strom (Brides of the Serpent Stones Series)
Season of Naga. Volume 2 continues the “Brides of the Serpent Stones” series from USA Today bestselling author Iona Strom. This fantasy romance leans into forced proximity and enemies‑to‑lovers tension, weaving together elemental magic, prophecy, and a thread of forbidden desire.
Severely wounded and stranded in human territory, Lurok owes his life to Serin Valen, the quiet, overlooked sister of the woman who helped end a war. Forced into close proximity and bound by secrets, mistrust turns to temptation as danger closes in. But when ancient magic claims them as fated mates and war ignites once more, love may become the deadliest weapon of all.
His One and Only by Charity Parkerson (Steel Security Series)
Craving a gay rockstar romance? His One and Only follows the explosive connection between a rockstar and the bodyguard assigned to protect him, serving as the second book in bestselling author Charity Parkerson’s “Steel Security” series. Even the toughest bodyguards can fall hard for the men they never see coming, and this installment leans into that irresistible tension.
Valon’s rise to fame has left him trapped in a life that’s slowly destroying him, until his new bodyguard Marc refuses to look the other way. As Marc uncovers the truth behind Valon’s spiral, he becomes determined to save him – even if it means risking everything for a chance at something real.
Stout of My League by Gia Stevens (Brews and Flings Series)
Gia Stevens brings a new opposites‑attract, fake‑dating rom‑com with Stout of My League. Set in the same world as the other “Brews and Flings” books – though written as a standalone – this fourth installment delivers plenty of steam, a few spicy lessons along the way, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Nora agrees to fake date Miles Kayson to help his reputation while promoting her app, never expecting their arrangement to feel so real. As practice dates turn into something deeper, she must decide if risking her heart is worth breaking the rules she set from the start.
