A Novel

A New York Times Bestseller! The revered New York Times bestselling author returns with a novel set in 1960s Baltimore that combines modern psychological insights with elements of classic noir, about a middle-aged housewife turned aspiring reporter who pursues the murder of a forgotten young woman. In 1966, Baltimore is a city of secrets that everyone seems to know--everyone, that is, except Madeline "Maddie" Schwartz. Last year, she was a happy, even pampered housewife. This year, she's bolted from her marriage of almost twenty years, determined to make good on her youthful ambitions to live a passionate, meaningful life. Maddie wants to matter, to leave her mark on a swiftly changing world. Drawing on her own secrets, she helps Baltimore police find a murdered girl--assistance that leads to a job at the city's afternoon newspaper, the Star. Working at the newspaper offers Maddie the opportunity to make her name, and she has found just the story to do it: a missing woman whose body was discovered in the fountain of a city park lake. Cleo Sherwood was a young black woman who liked to have a good time. No one seems to know or care why she was killed except Maddie--and the dead woman herself. Maddie's going to find the truth about Cleo's life and death. Cleo's ghost, privy to Maddie's poking and prying, wants to be left alone. Maddie's investigation brings her into contact with people that used to be on the periphery of her life--a jewelry store clerk, a waitress, a rising star on the Baltimore Orioles, a patrol cop, a hardened female reporter, a lonely man in a movie theater. But for all her ambition and drive, Maddie often fails to see the people right in front of her. Her inability to look beyond her own needs will lead to tragedy and turmoil for all sorts of people--including the man who shares her bed, a black police officer who cares for Maddie more than she knows.

A sweeping, epic saga of romance and hardship, set against the dramatic backdrop of ancient Mesopotamia—perfect for fans of Cleopatra's Moon or the adult bestseller The Red Tent. In the unforgiving Mesopotamian desert where Jayden's tribe lives, betrothal celebrations abound, and tonight it is Jayden's turn to be honored. But while this union with Horeb, the son of her tribe's leader, will bring a life of riches and restore her family's position within the tribe, it will come at the price of Jayden's heart. Then a shadowy boy from the Southern Lands appears. Handsome and mysterious, Kadesh fills Jayden's heart with a passion she never knew possible. But with Horeb's increasingly violent threats haunting Jayden's every move, she knows she must find a way to escape—or die trying. With a forbidden romance blossoming in her heart and her family's survival on the line, Jayden must finish the deadly journey to save the ones she loves—and find true love for herself.

#1 New York Times Bestseller: A saga of power, greed, and illicit love set in the Gilded Age of upstate New York.
 
Jerome Lindsey and his foster brother, Alfred, couldn’t be more different. The son of a wealthy banker in upstate New York, Jerome leaves home for a life of extravagance and adventure, seducing countless women along the way. Meanwhile, Alfred becomes an executive at the family bank and his adoptive father’s heir apparent. After his wife dies, Alfred shows little interest in remarrying—until he meets Amalie Maxwell, the ravishing and headstrong daughter of a tenant farmer.
 
Fearing that his inheritance is at stake, Jerome returns home to expose Amalie as a shameless gold digger. But the more he schemes against her, the closer he’s drawn to her. Now, Jerome and Amalie will discover the thin line between love and hate—and that a moment of passion can have a lifetime’s worth of consequences.
 
A mesmerizing tale of forbidden desire and a brilliant portrait of small-town America during the Reconstruction Era, This Side of Innocence is “a masterful piece of storytelling” from one of the twentieth century’s most beloved authors (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Tempted by love. Saved by my dad's best friend.

Charly.
A few days ago, I was just Charly. A small-town girl, bartending at a club near my tiny apartment, living paycheck to paycheck. Then I got a letter from a lawyer telling me my father died. Now, I'm an orphan with no clue what to do with the estate and the club my father named after me. I should sell it and enjoy the billionaire lifestyle away from city life, but the secrets my dad left behind bind me here. Or rather, my dad's best friend tempts me to stay.

Rocky.
No matter how much I try to pull away, I'm drawn to everything about her. I keep telling myself she's off-limits, but the urge to protect her courses through my veins. Someone's out for the club and her, just like they were out for her father. The closer we get to figuring out what really happened to my best friend, the more danger she's in. It's up to me to save Charly.

*BRAND NEW*NEVER READ*

I knew my steamy, hot night with my brother's best friend was a mistake when I woke up to an empty bed and...a note. He left years ago without a goodbye. A chance meeting while out celebrating my new bakery left me with a night I'll never forget. Barrett is no longer a boy, he's the sexiest trauma surgeon in San Francisco. His chiseled body from years as a Navy SEAL makes my heart skip and body quiver. We had a night that left us both satisfied and our chemistry simmering. Yet, he leaves again but this time with, a note. A flood in my new bakery left me stranded and forced to stay with HIM. I vowed to keep my distance, but the temptation of us being so close ignites our flame. One big obstacle, his wealthy family is forbidding our relationship. He's left with a choice, his inheritance or...us. Will second chance at love, and the secret l've kept from him, be enough for him to go against his family? Or, will there be another goodbye and I lose him... again.

The world of Melissa Mar's New York Times bestselling dark fantasy series Wicked Lovely comes to manga! This three-volume series focuses on Rika, a minor character in Wicked Lovely: formerly a mortal, formerly a Winter Girl, and formerly loved by the Summer King.



The dry, near-empty desert is a million miles away from the plots and schemes of the Faerie Courts--and that's exactly why Rika likes it. Once mortal herself, now she seeks out isolation, and she revels in her faery ability to become invisible to human eyes. Until she meets him. Jayce is a mortal blessed with artistic ability and kindness, and he is the last person Rika wants to hide from.



But change is sweeping the faery world, challenging Rika's freedom and even her tentative romance with Jayce. And the politics Rika has fled from pursue her, even into the heart of the desert. . . .
