A special bind-up edition from #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover featuring the second and third instalments in the Hopeless series. Hopeless was the story of what happened when a troubled girl named Sky encountered a long-lost childhood friend, Dean Holder. Now, in Losing Hope, we discover the truth about Holder. Haunted by the young girl he couldn’t save from imminent danger, his life has been overshadowed by guilt and remorse. He never stopped searching for her, but not once did Holder think that he would face greater pain if they ever reconnected. Holder reveals how Sky’s youth affected him and his family, leading him to seek redemption by saving her. But is it only by loving Sky that he can finally begin to heal? In Finding Cinderella, a chance encounter in the dark leads eighteen-year-old Daniel and the girl who stumbles across him to profess their love. But this love has conditions: they agree it will only last one hour and be make-believe. When their hour is up and the girl rushes off like Cinderella, Daniel tries to convince himself that it only seemed perfect because they were pretending. Moments like that only happen in fairy tales. One year and one bad relationship later, his disbelief in love at first sight disappears the day he meets Six: a girl with a strange name and an even stranger personality. Unfortunately for Daniel, finding true love doesn’t guarantee a happily ever after . . . it threatens it. Will an unbearable secret from the past jeopardize their last chance at saving each other?

Second-chance exes reunited by a parent's funeral, with the same raw grief and found-family small town, but spicier and more explicit.
Missing Mother-to-be
Keeps the one-night-stand secret baby and reunion hook, but swaps campus angst for kidnapping and mercenary danger.

The Cake Shop in the Garden
Shares the grief-processing and found-family warmth, but it's gentle women's fiction—no angst-heavy teen romance or on-page heat.
