Bridge to Tybee
In the shadow of World War II, four friends return to their hometown of Savannah, Georgia, forever changed by their experiences overseas. As they return to the familiar streets of their youth, the camaraderie they once cherished feels comforting and alien.
Tybee Beach, a symbol of their laid-back summer days, beckons them to reconnect and reclaim the joy they once knew. Together, they embark on an ambitious project: to purchase a plot of land and construct a beach house-an eternal sanctuary where their bond can weather the storms ahead.
But as summer fades, the carefree life they once enjoyed transforms into the adult lives they now desire. Each man wrestles with the scars of war, the shifting tides of relationships, and the relentless rush to build a future that feels so uncertain. Will their dream remain afloat, or will the currents of life pull them apart?
"The Bridge to Tybee" is a poignant exploration of friendship, sacrifice, and the bittersweet journey of growing up. Join these young men as they navigate the complexities of returning home, realizing that sometimes, moving forward means leaving parts of the past behind.

Bridgerton [Tv Tie-In]: The Duke and I
A #1 New York Times Bestseller
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Daphne Bridgerton, in the first of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix.
In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince--while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable...but not too amiable.
Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen.
Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society--just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend's sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar.
The plan works like a charm--at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule...
This novel includes the 2nd epilogue, a peek at the story after the story.

Bridgerton. Eu si ducele
Fără îndoială, Simon Basset este pe cale să o ceară în căsătorie pe sora celui mai bun prieten - frumoasa Daphne Bridgerton, care nu mai are mult ca să fie considerată fată bătrână. Dar cei doi știu cum stă treaba de fapt: au făcut un pact ca să le păcălească pe mamele din înalta societate, care se dau peste cap să-l însoare pe Simon cu vreuna dintre fiicele lor. În ce o privește pe Daphne, ea își propune să atragă vreun pretendent bogat, dacă va părea că este curtată de un duce.
Vals după vals pe la balurile din Sezonul londonez, Daphne și Simon încep să uite că se prefac a fi logodiți. Poate că de vină este zâmbetul lui ștrengăresc sau privirea lui arzătoare când se uită la ea, Daphne nu știe exact, dar simte că se îndrăgostește cu adevărat de frumosul și elegantul duce. Iar acum trebuie să facă tot posibilul să-l convingă și pe el că planul lor merită schimbat pe ici pe colo, pentru că nimic nu este mai prețios decât dragostea împărtășită.
"Eu și ducele ne bucură cu umorul și dialogurile antrenante marca Julia Quinn, dar în profunzime, sub pojghița de farmec din perioada Regenței, se ascunde un filon serios, care explorează impactul traumelor din copilărie și puterea vindecătoare a dragostei." Lois Faye Dyer
