A surprising, smart, charming novel that shows every day is a second chance. If you love Offspring and the 'opposites attract' charm of The Rosie Project, you will love this story! Lucy Muir is leaving her husband. It's complicated. They're joint owners and chefs at one of the best restaurants in town, so making a clean break is tough. But, let's face it, a woman can only take so much cheating, recipe stealing and lack of good grace. Despondently driving around the back streets of Woolloomooloo one night, Lucy happens upon an old, empty terrace that was once the city's hottest restaurant: Fortune. One minute she's peering through grimy windows into an abandoned space, the next she's planning a pop-up bistro. When Lucy fires up Fortune's old kitchen she discovers a little red recipe book that belonged to the former chef, the infamous Frankie Summers. As she cries over the ingredients for Frankie's French Onion Soup, she imagines what Fortune was like in its heyday. It's strange, Lucy can sense Frankie beside her, almost see him there ... This fiery chef, who lived with a passion for food and women in almost equal measure, just might help Lucy cook herself up a better life. But is she brave enough to believe? **INCLUDES an extract from J.D.'s new novel, The Upside of Over, publishing in July 2018**

Conservative and serious Carlo Attracelli vows he’ll never fall into the gentle grip of love. Then he meets the outrageously dressed and shockingly outspoken Kate Avril and all of his previous priorities and carefully laid plans are blown away. Kate is torn between her loyalty to Jamison’s, which helped her mother after her father left them, and the devastatingly attractive Carlo who is out to assimilate Jamison’s into the faceless ATI conglomerate. To Kate, he is the enemy, albeit the most handsome enemy she’d ever had the privilege to meet. In the midst of their struggle, Kate discovers that the current owner of Jamison’s, whose motives she thought were pure, is in fact the true enemy. He is involved in stock manipulation and is trying to embarrass Carlo and steal millions from ATI. In a flash, her righteous indignation finds a new target and her loyalty, and her love, belong to Carlo.

THIS IS the story of the search for “Faceless Fritz”—the most difficult and frightening camera-hunt ever undertaken by ace photographer-reporter Margaret Bourke-White. “Fearless Fritz” was cable shorthand for one of several LIFE assignments that brought Miss Bourke-White and her camera to Germany some months before its fall. She was to pin down the private German citizens—to find out what kind of human being it was who, multiplied by millions, made up the Nazi terror. Was he cruel? Was he a villain? Or was he a jolly, gemutlich, beer-drinking, music-loving sentimentalist so many of us remembered, who had really been helpless in the power of a small gang of madmen? By the time Margaret Bourke-White arrived in Germany on this mission, she had seen much death and danger. She had been in Moscow during its fiercest bombings. In Italy she had come closer to the enemy lines than any American woman before her. But it was in Germany that cold horror overtook her. The Germany that Miss Bourke-White saw and recorded in this book puts to shame Dali’s most grotesque nightmares. It is a physical and spiritual chamber of horrors, a cuckoo-cloud land whose inhabitants live in a lost dream. They are the people whose faces are as usual and recognizable as neighbors’, but whose reactions do not seem to make sense. “Dear Fatherland, Rest Quietly,” which was first published in 1946, takes its title from the words of the anthem, “Die Wacht am Rhein,” to which German soldiers have marched three times in the memory of many now living. It brings new light to bear on the German people—in the hope that through a more immediate understanding of them, a fourth march may be averted... Richly illustrated throughout with 128 of her photographs, with detailed captions, forming an integral part of Margaret Bourke-White’s important report on conquered Germany.

I own the boardroom. He owns the stage. We were never meant to be together, but when something's forbidden, it only makes you want it more. My jaded heart was determined never to be fooled again. There’s too much at stake, and my daughter always comes first. And then one night, on the eve of my forty-third birthday, I walked into a bar, and locked eyes with Adrian Corvin. He’s a musician, covered in tattoos... and way too young. He's the opposite of everything I should want. When he followed me outside of the bar, not even the Arizona monsoon could keep me from kissing him. With just one taste, I was an addict. It was only supposed to be one night. No names, no expectations, and no truths. Only lies. And he tells beautiful lies. Lake and Adrian’s story is perfect for readers who love a steamy reverse age gap, forbidden romance between a strong later in life heroine and a younger part-time musician who have a one night stand that turns into more. If you love Imani Jay, Melanie Harlow, and Michelle Hercules, you will love this story.
