Long-buried secrets resurface when a woman returns home for her sister's lavish resort wedding in the Everglades, where gossiping aunties and Burmese pythons aren't the only threats, in this suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Matchmaker.

It's been three years since Hena Mirza saw her family. Three years since her fiancé mysteriously vanished on their wedding day. Three years since everyone decided she was to blame.

When her younger sister, Lulu, calls with shocking news--she's getting married in forty-eight hours and their mother is dying--Hena's plan is simple: fly home, say goodbye, and leave before she reopens old wounds. But nothing about the trip is simple. This isn't a one-day event. It's an eight-day desi wedding with a guest list that eerily mirrors the one from her own failed nuptials. And though Hena feels unexpected sparks fly with two men in the wedding party--a childhood friend and a newcomer unfamiliar with her history--the remaining guests quickly make it clear: No one is happy she's back.

Then Lulu's carefully planned itinerary goes awry. Hena initially dismisses the strange incidents, but as days pass and the sabotage escalates, it becomes clear that someone is determined to destroy the wedding, just as Hena's was destroyed years ago. To survive this week, she'll have to uncover the culprit behind these attacks . . . before the past she's tried to outrun finally catches up to her.

From Instagram phenomenon Whitney Hanson, a brand-new collection of poems exploring themes of identity, loss, and what it means to rediscover yourself

the love of my life is a poetry collection that traces the process of rediscovering a love of life after change, disconnection, and personal upheaval. Using the metaphor of fires, the book is structured in three sections--Burning, Ashes, and Reclamation--to reflect the cycles of destruction, numbness, and renewal that accompany deep inner work.

Through themes of identity, loss, healing, and emotional reconstruction, the collection explores what it means to unlearn inherited beliefs, confront the weight of the past, and slowly rebuild a relationship with oneself, others, and the world. This is a book not primarily about romantic love but about reengaging with life by confronting the past and reconnecting with a sense of self.

Shoes to Kill is about the case of a media mogul found murdered at the home of one of the nation s leading college basketball coaches during a nationally televised game. It plays on the State s and South s obsession with college sports, particularly basketball and football.

The protagonist, Detective Hatchell Breeze, seeking retribution for a previously botched and forgotten case involving the university football team, enthusiastically takes on the investigation and an inevitable confrontation with the powerful players of the state university once again.

This leads him to prostitution, illegal drugs, errant boosters, big business, university stonewalling, and the prominent men and women of college sports. As he tries to connect the two cases, he is reminded of his own bitter history with the university, forever embedded in his mind as his own life spins out of control.
