A woman discovers the father of the child she is nannying may be her biggest (Only)Fan in this steamy contemporary romance by Lana Ferguson.
After losing her job and being on the brink of eviction, Cassie Evans finds herself with two choices: get a new job (and fast) or fire up her long-untouched OnlyFans account. But there are no jobs to be found, and as for OnlyFans. . . . Well, there are reasons she canโt go back. Just when all hope seems lost, an ad for a live-in nanny position seems the solution to all her problems. Itโs almost too perfectโuntil she meets her would-be employer.
Aiden Reid, executive chef and DILF extraordinaire is far from the stuffy single dad Cassie was imagining. She is shocked when he tells her sheโs the most qualified applicant heโs met in weeks, practically begging her to take the job. With hands that make her hindbrain howl and eyes that scream sex, the idea of living under the same roof as Aiden feels dangerous, but with no other option, she decides to stay with him and his adorably tenacious daughter, Sophie.
Cassie soon discovers that Aiden is not a stranger at all, but instead someone who is very familiar with herโor at least, her body. She finds herself at a loss for what to do, given that he doesnโt remember her. As their relationship heats to temperatures hotter than any kitchen Aiden has ever worked in, Cassie struggles with telling Aiden the truth, and the more terrifying possibilityโlosing the best chance at happiness sheโs ever had.

Back to the Future meets The Joy Luck Club in this YA contemporary romance about a Korean American girl sent back to the โ90s to (reluctantly) help her teenage mom win Homecoming Queen.
Being a first-generation Asian American immigrant is hard. You know whatโs harder? Being the daughter of one. Samantha Kang has never gotten along with her mother, Priscillaโand has never understood her bougie-nightmare, John Hughes high school expectations. After a huge fight between them, Sam is desperate to move forwardโbut instead, finds herself thrown back. Way back.
To her shock, Sam finds herself back in high school . . . in the โ90s . . . with a 17-year-old Priscilla. Now this Gen Z girl must try to fit into an analog world. Sheโs got the fashion down, but everything else is baffling. What is โmicroficheโ? Whatโs with the casual racism and misogyny? And why does it feel like Priscilla is someone she could actually be . . . friends with?
Sam’s blast to the past has her finding the right romance in the wrong time while questioning everything she thought she knew about her mom . . . and herself. Will Sam figure out what she needs to do to fix things for her mom so that she can go back to a time she understands? Brimming with heart and humor, Maurene Gooโs time-travel romance asks big questions about what exactly one inherits and loses in the immigrant experience.

It doesnโt help that his father kidnapped the last living member of Liaโs family, and though it means Mateo will get to see her again, itโs only because Lia is already hunting them.
