From the bestselling author of Slammed, comes Colleen Hoover's next big hit. Layken and Will have managed to overcome the obstacles that threatened to destroy their love, proving that they are destined for one another. What they are about to learn, however, is that the things that have brought them together may be the very things that ruin their connection forever… Layken is left second-guessing the relationship whilst Will is jumping over hurdles to prove his love for her. What the young lovers discover about themselves along this journey may change their entire world and the lives of those who depend upon them the most... Praise for Colleen Hoover: 'As brilliant and entertaining as Slammed, Point of Retreatis absolute poetry.' - JAMIE MCGUIRE, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Disaster 'I finished reading Slammed at 1am on Sunday... I couldn't wait to start reading Point of Retreatso I bought it right then and there!' - Amazon Review

Without Merit
Another Hoover family drama where secrets and caretaking burdens strain young love, but darker on mental illness and lighter on romance payoff.
Never Never Saison 1
Same author's emotional teen romance with high stakes and forbidden ties, though built as a mystery cliffhanger rather than a settled HEA.
Never never
Continues the amnesia mystery with a couple fighting to keep love intact; more suspense-driven and less domestic grief than the seed.
Colton Gentry's Third Act
Grief, small-town return, and rebuilding a love that nearly broke; adult voice, heavier on addiction and slower healing.

Light forbidden-love comedy for readers who want the obstacle-strewn courtship without grief or heat; much frothier and sweeter.
A Civil Campaign
Widowhood grief, found-family chaos, and a forbidden courtship subplot, but set in space with a slow, comic slow burn.
