Agatha Grey is a long-term resident at the Nexus. As an apprentice time traveler, Agatha is mostly limited to sourcing ancient grains for fad diets. Her work is pretty boring, but she likes it that way, as she’d rather escape into the past than actually deal with her grief over an accident that left her the only survivor.
But when Thomas Charger, a (sort of) friend, turns up (definitely) murdered in her hotel bathtub, Agatha can no longer keep her life on pause. If she wants to know who killed Thomas—and why they chose her bathtub to do it in—she will have to venture deeper into the mysterious Nexus Hotel and attempt to learn its secrets, which becomes all the more complicated when Thomas shows up in the middle of her investigation.
In a hotel for time travelers, time means nothing. So how do you solve a murder that hasn’t happened yet?

Loveless meets You’ve Got Mail in a charming YA romance centering two aspec (asexual and aromantic) teens at the heart of their own kind of love story.
Analeigh Tate has a plan: convince her parents that a musical theater degree is a serious career path and not a childish fantasy. Unfortunately, this means begging her perfect older sister Natasha for help, which, as expected, comes with strings: Analeigh has to prove she can get and keep a boyfriend for the next four months. She’s never cared about dating, partly because she fears no one will be interested in an asexual girl, but how hard could it be? She’s already guaranteed valedictorian since her academic nemesis Drew Eberstark left school the year before, so a boyfriend should be easy.
Drew is not keen on returning to school after his very public breakdown last year. But his grand comeback becomes ten times worse when he learns that his anonymous online best friend—who he just asked to meet in person—is none other than Analeigh Tate, a girl who hates his guts. Desperate not to lose his only friend, with whom he’s shared his uncertainty about identifying as asexual and aromantic, he comes up with a solution: offer to be her (fake) boyfriend. He already knows about Analeigh’s deal with her sister, so all he’s got to do is prove he’s worth her friendship—while keeping his true identity under wraps. So that’s not stressful or anything.

When the truth finally comes to light, Analeigh and Drew will have to decide if their friendship is worth fighting for, and if there’s a happily ever after to their (not so typical) love story.
