The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead

For a select group of girls, the Glittering Court offers a shot at a life they’ve only ever dreamed of, one of luxury, glamour, and leisure. High-born Adelaide wants in for a different reason: to escape a looming, loveless marriage, and seek her own destiny in an unspoiled, prosperous new land across the sea. But the life she makes for herself threatens to fall apart when she can no longer deny her mutual attraction with the forbidden Cedric Thorne–one that, if acted upon, would make them both outcasts in a wild, dangerous, uncharted world, and possibly lead them to their deaths. Book 3, The Emerald Sea is out in June!

The Wrath and the Dawn by Renée Ahdieh

If you have all the sexy parts of the Outlander novels bookmarked, this novel is definitely for you. Strong-willed Shahrzad didn’t volunteer to marry the Caliph of Khorasan because she loves him–she came to the palace seeking revenge for the death of her best friend, and countless other women whose lives the boy-king has taken. But love–and secrets, and undeniable passion–is what she finds when she discovers the real reason Khalid kills his brides at dawn and gets to know the man behind the throne.

A World Without You by Beth Revis

Not everybody believes Claire when she claims she’s traveled through time. Seventeen-year-old Bo has the opposite problem: he’s the only one who doesn’t know that his ability to visit the past is a grand delusion, the symptom of a serious mental illness. After the unexpected loss of his girlfriend, Bo believes he can use his power to save her. When his efforts prove fruitless, he must decide whether to face his demons head-on, or succumb to a psychosis that will let him be with the girl he loves.
