  Snow won’t be the only thing getting blown 
  Bennett 
  After screwing up a recent hit, I’m broke, blacklisted, and no closer to finding my missing sister. I need a distraction. 
  Five days in Alaska isn’t my idea of a retreat. I hate winter, but I hate Catarina Novak more. If I make her as miserable as possible, maybe I can forget how miserable I am. 
  Frustrating Cat is my favorite pastime, but what happens when I discover something I enjoy more? 
  Cat 
  The winter retreat is a chance to forget all my worries, hang out with my best friend, and finally get my first kill. 
  But when Bennett Carter breezes into the log mansion with his stupidly handsome smirk, he makes it his mission to block my every move. Until we get lost in the woods overnight . . . 
  If our friends discover what happened, we’ll never hear the end of it, but how can we stop what we’ve set in motion? And do we even want to? 
  Welcome to the winter retreat, Sinners!

  Title: Annabel Lee 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Not included / Various Public Domain Recordings Available 
  Original Publication: 1849 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 61 
  Description: 
  Annabel Lee is Edgar Allan Poe’s final completed poem — a haunting ballad of love so powerful it defies even death. Set in a “kingdom by the sea,” the narrator recounts a romance with the beautiful Annabel Lee, a bond so pure and radiant that even celestial powers grow jealous. What follows is a tragic tale of loss, longing, and eternal devotion, as the speaker clings to the memory of his beloved despite the grave’s cold claim. 
  Poe weaves together the gothic and the ethereal, transforming grief into lyrical beauty. The sea becomes both a backdrop and a specter — its tides echoing the relentless pull of memory and the undying heartbeat of the narrator’s love. 
  A cornerstone of American Romanticism, Annabel Lee endures as one of literature’s most poignant meditations on love’s refusal to fade, reminding us that some bonds remain unbroken, “in this kingdom by the sea.”

  This is a story about the lies we tell ourselves to survive heartbreak.

  Seven Trevino is a "bad boy" single dad with a heart of gold and a body a Viking king would kill for. 
  He's also my best friend. 
  A friend I wish could be more, but he refuses to even consider dating. 
  He's convinced he's too old for me. 
  But I know he feels the electricity that crackles in the air every time we touch, and I don't care about our age gap. All I care about is that no one has ever made me feel as safe, understood, or desperate to get naked as Seven does. 
  So when we end up stranded in the woods together after his daughter pulls a Parent-Trap scheme for the ages, I'm in no hurry to find a way back to civilization. 
  I intend to take advantage of every second of being trapped in a tiny cabin with this man. 
  Every moment of sharing that one bed... 
  Every moment of feeding the fire building between us... 
  And turns out, Seven feels the same way. 
  Soon we're christening every surface in the cabin—and the outdoor tub on the porch—and I'm positive my dreams are coming true. 
  But can our fledgling relationship survive in the real world? Or will Seven's determination to "protect" me shatter both our hearts?

It's vexing enough to be courted by every fortune-hunting noble during the Season—goodness, you'd think she was hiding a gold mine beneath her skirts! But this is not to be condoned. Because during a merry two-week party at a lord's country home, she's forced to endure her father's greatest enemy and the most wretched duke in all of England: the Duke of Despots. 
   
   
   
  Theo St. Clair has hardly been the Seventh Duke of Desborough long enough to straighten his cravat, yet the ton are already nipping at his bootstraps.

  Now they're trapped together, forced to wear polite smiles while they trade acidic barbs and pretend to ignore the growing tension charging the air between them. But while there is danger in ruin, it's the devastating secret her family has been hiding that will shatter Georgiana's world . . . 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
