Sydney Hoffman can tell when someone has less than 72 hours to live, and it’s left her sarcastic, cynical and alone. Until she meets Peter, who changes everything she believes about life—and death.

72 hours before someone dies, Sydney Hoffman sees a pink clock over their head, counting down their final minutes. Seeing death’s status updates in real-time without being able to save anyone is . . . pretty much the worst. Which is why she never gets involved.

But then she meets Peter Beckett, her optimistic, book-obsessed, and (annoyingly) attractive new classmate. When he discovers what Sydney can do, he convinces her she doesn’t have to handle the countdowns alone. Together they make a plan to wander NYC, looking for pink clocks and helping strangers live their best final hours.

The more people they secretly help, the more Sydney believes she can let go of the memories that haunt her and hold on to Peter instead. But then the universe deals a devastating blow, forcing her to reckon with what it truly means to live your last 72 hours with no regrets.

In her tragically romantic debut, Darianne Schramm weaves a heartwarming, heart-wrenching, life-affirming love story you’ll laugh through, cry through, and absolutely never forget.

Story Locale: New York City and surrounding suburbs

They once chased the spotlight. Now they’re hiding in the shadows.

Former college rodeo star Rhiann James flees to Nashville after a devastating fall wrecks her future. She finally finds a place to land at Elite Equine Therapy, where a barn full of hurting kids, a mysterious new horse named Shadow and their deepening bond with a traumatized teen slowly pull her into a different kind of arena.

Equine specialist Blaise “Sully” Sullivan walked away from his Nashville headliner dreams when a fire left him with scars across his throat––and his heart. These days he’s content to stay behind the scenes at Elite Equine and locked in the studio laying down guitar and fiddle tracks for pop and country artists while keeping his own talent buried.

Until Rhiann’s voice awakens an unfinished melody he thought he’d never sing.

When Elite Equine loses its largest donor, Rhiann and Sully must team up to launch a high stakes fundraising campaign or risk losing the one place that feels like home––for them and for the kids and horses finding healing there. Failure means empty barns, broken progress, and crushed dreams.

As secrets surface and trust is shattered, braving the spotlight may be the only way to save the stable, the kids they love, and the fragile hope growing between them. If they can lean into rediscovered faith, let the music tell the truth, and risk their hearts one more time, they might just discover that the God who met them in the shadows has been writing their song all along.

What About the Song? is a kisses-only, faith-forward, contemporary Christian romance set in Nashville, perfect for readers who love equine therapy, wounded-hero, and music-driven slow-burn love stories.

From the bestselling author Kelly Quindlen comes a whip-smart, heart-squeezing YA rom-com about saving a gay bar, falling for the enemy, and building the kind of community you never thought you’d have.

When eighteen-year-old Louisa Wade inherits a gay bar from her late great-uncle, she figures there’s been some kind of mistake. There’s no way Uncle George—football legend and hometown hero of Rustin, Alabama—could have secretly owned a queer bar… right?

But The Frisky Cricket is real, and so is the messy legacy Uncle George left behind—including his grumpy ex-partner, Hatch, who wants nothing more than to sell the bar. Louisa may have zero business experience, but she’s determined to keep it open for the vibrant queer community that calls it home.

As the summer heats up, Louisa’s crusade puts her on a collision course with Aubrey Calhoun: the pretty, popular, and sharp-tongued daughter of Rustin University’s newly crowned football coach. The girls start off on the wrong foot, but a tentative truce leads to late nights, shared secrets, and a growing spark.

But things threaten to sputter out when Coach Calhoun sets his sights on The Frisky Cricket, scheming to replace it with a new athletic facility—celebrating Uncle George’s football career while erasing his queerness. Now Louisa must decide if she can fight for Uncle George’s legacy without losing sight of herself in the process.
