Love and conflict come unexpectedly for old friends reuniting in Tuscany in a sparkling and witty romantic comedy about wine, second chances, and new horizons that has become a bestselling sensation in Italy.

In the lush Italian wine region of Chianti is the small town of Belvedere where nothing ever happens. Especially for single women.

So when financial investor Michael D'Arcy returns after sixteen years to claim his late grandfather's estate, the handsome and eligible bachelor is in the crosshairs of every swooning mother, daughter, and sister in town. Save for vintner Elisa Benetti. Once Elisa's cherished childhood friend, Michael has morphed into an arrogant, dismissive, money-mad businessman who only wants to settle his inheritance and hightail it back to London.

Where, behind that cold heart and those chiseled features, is the joyful boy Elisa used to know? Okay, true, she's not quite the girl with wistful dreams that Michael remembers either. Funny how things change. Who knows? Maybe it's not too late to fulfill old promises and get to know each other all over again. It could be an adventure in second chances that Elisa and Michael didn't even realize they were looking for.

A young woman, perceived dead, plots to reinvent herself in a gripping historical gothic about secrets, superstition, and murder by the bestselling author of The Devil and Mrs. Davenport.

South Carolina, 1853. Lillian Carmichael, privileged daughter of a disgraced Charleston family, is due to be hanged for the murder of her sister when fate gives her a second chance at life.

After a catatonic episode on the long walk to the gallows, Lillian is declared dead and entombed in the family mausoleum. She awakens days later, buried alive, and flees to the Lowcountry marshes to survive on her wits and reinvent herself. All the while, a series of exsanguination murders holds the terrorized city in thrall--as do the superstitions that the vanished Lillian is some craven creature, resurrected and out for blood.

Lillian finds sanctuary in a crumbling former plantation and a friend in Kate O'Malley, a charismatic actress adept at fashioning new identities. The two form an intimate and powerful alliance, but as the body count rises, the manhunt for Lillian reaches a fever pitch. It will take both women's cunning for her to escape the gallows again, and to find her freedom, Lillian must first cross paths with the real killer and confront her own family's deepest, darkest secret.

A pioneer unwaveringly endures the Oklahoma frontier in an epic adventure about a woman haunted by secrets and searching for home.

A cannon booms at high noon, and the race begins in the Oklahoma land rush of 1893.

Amid the crowd is Minnie Hoopes. Tenacious and fiercely independent, she is determined to endure the brutal frontier and create a life of her own. Guarding her solitude, she distances herself from bordering homesteaders and finds peace under the starry nights of the vast frontier. But this is outlaw country, and Minnie soon has the blood of two gunfighters on her hands. After a renegade outlaw named Stot discovers her secrets, she forms an unlikely friendship with him. With each passing season, Minnie's past grows more haunting and threatens the future she has risked everything to build. Minnie raced into the Wild West alone, but her grandest journey in the frontier wilderness is one she never saw coming.

Based on the true story of the author's great-great-grandparents, this sweeping and transportive survival story explores a woman's connection with the land, her reconciliation with the past, and her elemental search for home against all odds.

Settle in, I've stories to tell.

From USA Today bestselling author Emma Scott comes the third in an emotional series of interconnected, coming-of-age YA romances.

At Santa Cruz Central High School, they called them the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos. But most of us knew them as the Lost Boys...

Ronan Wentz has been to hell and back, and he carries the scars to prove it. Worse, the blood of a monster runs through his veins. When his uncle gives him a roof over his head after ten years in foster care, Ronan uses this second chance to become a vigilante, walking the streets of Santa Cruz to keep the nightmares at bay. If he can use his anger to protect instead of hurt, maybe he'll find the absolution he seeks.

Then he meets Shiloh.

Shiloh Barrera looks like she has it all together. Smart, ambitious, and full of creativity she channels into making one-of-a kind jewelry. But Shiloh's demons drive her to succeed as much as her ambition--to prove her worth to the mother who can't stand to look at her.

Shiloh and Ronan's attraction is instant and scorching. Falling in love is an impossible pipe dream saved for those less damaged, but as hard as they try to resist, the feelings between them seem inevitable...until one terrible night destroys Shiloh's dreams and Ronan's future.

When the smoke clears and the rubble settles, they'll have to choose: do their pasts determine their future, or can they build a new one from the broken pieces of their hearts?

Will this job prove itself to be an easy task, or will a simple word from heaven prove that some things are out of this stone's control?
