It's a Love/Skate Relationship by Carli J. Corson (HarperTeen)
Hockey star Charlie Porter has one shot to make her dreams come true -- literally. One goal is all that stands between her and the coveted Winthrop Cup, along with a life-changing hockey scholarship that could catapult her into the big leagues. But when Charlie misses her shot -- and inadvertently starts a good ol’ fashioned brawl between rival schools -- she waves goodbye to more than just the championship title. She gets kicked off her team, suspended from school, and banished to the Worst Place on Earth: Winthrop High. Things for Charlie cannot get any worse.
Until she meets Alexa Goldstein. A prickly, perfectionist ice princess with her sights set on the Olympics, Alexa is the last person Charlie would ever want to share a rink with -- no matter how good she looks in her figure skating leotard. But when Alexa’s skating partner breaks his ankle and torpedoes her chances for a gold medal career, the two unlikely allies -- along with Alexa’s terrifying, ex-Olympian mother -- strike a deal: Charlie will practice with Alexa until her partner heals, and Alexa’s mother will use her connections to get Charlie back in her hockey uniform.
But as the ice between Charlie and Alexa begins to melt, their partnership only gets more complicated. Charlie’s falling hard -- and not just when she’s trying to land a double axel. What happens when making Alexa’s skating dreams come true means giving up her own?
The Rose Bargain by Sasha Peyton Smith (HarperTeen)
Bridgerton meets The Selection in a new, romantic young adult fantasy duology from New York Times Best Selling author, Sasha Peyton Smith
When one makes a bargain with the Faerie Queen, one must be prepared to pay the price.
Lady Ivy Benton's sister has ruined her life. When Lydia Benton disappeared, then reappeared, two weeks later, with no memory of where she’d been, she destroyed her family’s reputation and her little sister Ivy’s chances at making a match during the 1848 London social season. Ivy’s only hope is to make a magical bargain clever enough to save both herself and her family from complete ruination. For in the center of London, ensconced in Kensington Palace, lives the immortal Queen Mor, who grants every resident of Britain the opportunity to make one faerie bargain in their lifetime. The bigger the ask, the higher the cost.
As the social season begins, Ivy and the other girls of high society are summoned to the palace for a shocking announcement. This is the season the Queen’s son, Prince Bram, intends to find a wife. In order to ensure fair play and dedicated courtship, girls who wish to be considered must sign a magically binding contract: should they not win the Prince's hand, they will never marry another. Ivy is the first to sign in blood. She has nothing else to lose.
Along with the five other girls who agree to the terms, Ivy moves onto the grounds of Kensington palace for the London social season, ready to fight for the Prince's hand. The competition for the Bram’s time and attention is fierce, but Ivy is keeping her own secrets. She and Prince Emmett, Bram's brother, met by chance months before, and Emmett has promised to help Ivy become the perfect match for Bram, even at the cost of his own growing feelings.
Through a social season of glittering balls, promenades around the park, and sun-soaked regattas, Ivy and Emmett work to uncover what really happened to Ivy's older sister those weeks she disappeared, and the rotten truth of the magical bargains made by their mysterious Queen. But by tugging on a thread that spans beyond their world, they might just unravel a plot that could destroy the whole of England.

Divining the Leaves by Shveta Thakrar (HarperTeen) - not yet added to Goodreads, moved from 2023.
Stephanie Stein at HarperTeen has acquired, in an exclusive submission, Divining the Leaves by Shveta Thakrar (Star Daughter). In this contemporary YA fantasy inspired by Hindu mythology, two teens find an escape from the troubles of their mortal lives in the magical woodland realm of the nature spirits known as yakshas—but straying too deep into the forest is always more dangerous than it seems. Publication is slated for summer 2023; Beth Phelan at Gallt & Zacker Literary did the two-book deal for world English rights.
The Great Misfortune of Stella Sedgwick by S. Isabelle (Inkyard Press) - not yet added to Goodreads, moved from Summer 2024, release year announced on instagram.
Claire Stetzer at Inkyard Press has acquired, in a six-figure preempt, S. Isabelle's YA historical romance, The Great Misfortune of Stella Sedgwick, starring a young Black woman living in 1860s England who yearns for a writing career and independence rather than love and marriage, but when an unexpected inheritance forces her into London society and reunites her with her childhood best friend—who is now a bit of a rake—will she be forced to choose between her dreams and her heart? Publication is slated for summer 2024; Laura Rennert at Andrea Brown Literary Agency brokered the two-book deal for North American rights.
