HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in
possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Austen's best-loved tale of love, marriage and society in
class-conscious Georgian England still delights modern readers
today with its comedy and characters. It follows the feisty,
quick-witted Elizabeth Bennet as her parents seek to ensure good
marriages for her and her sisters in order to secure their future.
The protagonists Darcy and Elizabeth learn much about themselves
and those around them and Austen's expertly crafted comedy
characters of Mrs Bennet and Mr Collins demonstrate her great
artistry as a writer."
Ukraine, 2022. Yeva is a loner and a maverick scientist who lives out
of her mobile lab.She scours the country’s forests and valleys, trying
and failing to breed rare snails, while her relatives urge her to
settle down and finally start a family of her own. What they don’t
know: Yeva already dates plenty of men—not for love, but to fund her
work—entertaining Westerners who come to Ukraine on guided romance
tours believing they’ll find docile brides untainted by feminism and
modernity.
Nastia and her sister, Solomiya, are also entangled in the booming
marriage industry, posing as a hopeful bride and her translator while
secretly searching for their missing mother, who vanished after years
of fierce activism against the romance tours.
Together they embark across hundreds of miles: three angry women, a
truckful of kidnapped bachelors, and Lefty, a last-of-his-kind snail
with one final shot at perpetuating his species. But their plans come
to a screeching halt when Russia invades. In a stunningly ambitious and
achingly raw metafictional spiral, Endling brilliantly balances horror
and comedy, drawing on Reva’s own experiences as a Ukrainian expat
tracking her family’s delicate dance of survival behind enemy lines. As
fiction and reality collide on the page, Reva probes the hard truths of
war: What stories must we tell ourselves to survive? To carry on with
the routines of life under military occupation? And for those of us
watching from over-seas: Can our sense of normalcy and security ever be
restored, or have they always been a fragile illusion?
Endling is a tour de force from an author who weaves a story of love,
loss, humor, and devastation that only she can tell.

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Sierra
Simone comes her steamy, TikTok-famous Priest series, in which
sinners and saints alike test the bonds of religion, love, and
lust. He leads a life of sin, and she's committed to a life of
virtue. Sean Bell is not a good man, and he's never pretended to
be. He doesn't believe in goodness, God, or any happy ending that
isn't paid for in advance. There are words for men like him:
playboy. Womanizer. Skirt-chaser. Sinner. When he meets a gorgeous
college girl at a fundraiser, he has no problem telling her exactly
what filthy things he wants to do to her-until he realizes she's
his best friend's little sister, Zenobia "Zenny" Iverson, all grown
up. Worse than that...she's also about to become a nun. Zenny,
though, isn't looking to play it safe during her final month of
freedom. She wants to make sure choosing God is the right path, and
to do that, she propositions Sean to show her every carnal
temptation she's leaving behind. Unable to refuse, Sean finds
himself falling for her, body and soul, and questioning not just
the morals he's dodged for years, but his relationship with the God
Zenny has pledged herself to. The only problem is...what if Sean
wants Zenny to choose him instead of Him?
