\nSeptember 5th: Time-travel\, \;The Seven Year Slip
\nAn overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned futur e hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate... only t o discover he lives seven years in the past\, in this witty and wise new n ovel. Sometimes\, the worst day of your life happens\, and you have to fig ure out how to live after it. So Clementine forms a plan \;to keep her heart safe: work hard\, find someone decent to love\, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical\, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep g oing. And for the last year\, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Most ly. The love part is hard because she doesn't want to get too close to any one--she isn't sure her heart can take it. And then she finds a strange ma n standing in the kitchen of her late aunt's apartment. A man with kind ey es and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that\, before it all\, she would've fallen head-over-heels for. And she might ag ain. Except\, he exists in the past. Seven years ago\, to be exact. And sh e\, quite literally\, lives seven years in his future. Her aunt always sai d the apartment was a pinch in time\, a place where moments blended togeth er like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall\ , she'll be doomed. After all\, love is never a matter of time--but a matt er of timing.

\nNovember 7th: Lovers-to-Enemies\,&nbs p\;You Deserve Each Othe r
\nNaomi Westfield has an Instagram-perfect l ife\, including the perfect fiance. Nicholas Rose holds doors open for her \, remembers her restaurant orders\, and comes from the kind of upstanding society family every bride dreams of being a part of. They never fight\, complain\, or disagree. They're preparing for their lavish wedding that's& nbsp\;three months away. And they are miserably and utterly sick of each o ther. Tired of contorting herself to fit the ridiculous standards demanded by Nicholas's family\, Naomi wants out of the relationship. But there's a catch: Whoever calls off the engagement will have to foot the enormous bi ll for the wedding. When Naomi finds out that Nicholas\, too\, has been fe igning contentment\, the two of them go head-to-head in a battle of wills to see who can annoy the other into surrendering through pranks\, sabotage \, and all-out emotional warfare. But now that they have nothing to lose\, they're finally being themselves. They're having so much fun getting on e ach other's nerves that it starts to feel like something else entirely. As Naomi discovers hidden feelings for Nicholas buried under three years of simmering resentment\, she wonders if he feels the same way. Suddenly\, th e countdown to the wedding that may or may not come to pass feels more lik e a race to mutual destruction--and Naomi doesn't want to be left alone at the finish line.
