'A warm, uplifting story about love and loss . . . but beware,
you'll need a big box of tissues!' Clare Swatman, author of Before
We Grow Old Two strangers. One missed flight. It only takes a
moment to change a life. One year ago Casey Cassidy was happy. She

dream of. But when Ben leaves, her heart is shattered. Left facing
a year of firsts without him, piecing her life back together seems

what's happened and find a way to move forward. She has no idea
where that will take her one year later... What readers are saying

Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.
So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, muddle Emily’s research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.
But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries—lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she’ll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all—her own heart.

New York Times bestselling author and Queen of the Beach Reads Mary
Kay Andrews delivers her next blockbuster, Hello Summer. It's a new
season... Conley Hawkins left her family's small town newspaper,
The Silver Bay Beacon, in the rearview mirror years ago. Now a star
reporter for a big-city paper, Conley is exactly where she wants to
be and is about to take a fancy new position in Washington, D.C. Or
so she thinks. For small town scandals... When the new job goes up
in smoke, Conley finds herself right back where she started,
working for her sister, who is trying to keep The Silver Bay Beacon
afloat--and she doesn't exactly have warm feelings for Conley. Soon
she is given the unenviable task of overseeing the local gossip
column, "Hello, Summer." And big-time secrets. Then Conley
witnesses an accident that ends in the death of a local
congressman--a beloved war hero with a shady past. The more she
digs into the story, the more dangerous it gets. As an old
heartbreaker causes trouble and a new flame ignites, it soon looks
like their sleepy beach town is the most scandalous hotspot of the
summer.
'I love her beautiful settings and brooding heroes!' Sarah Bennett
Who can resist the romance of Venice... When Norah arrives in
Venice for a ten-week internship she is surprised to discover that
her guide for her work trips around the lagoon is the undeniably
gorgeous and kind Gianluca. She can't help thinking he might be too
good to be true, with his endless fascinating local stories, and
his infectious laugh. Norah is still bitter after an accident left
her with a serious injury and also meant the end of her long-term
relationship. And besides, she's serious about her career and that
means leaving Venice at the end of the summer. Gianluca has had a
summer fling before that led to heartache for him and he won't do
it again. He enjoys the long hours out on the lagoon with Norah,
but after a storm strands them on a picture-perfect island for a
night, they agree they should just be good friends for the summer.
But life doesn't always go to plan, and when it's time for Norah to
go, they have to decide whether what they have between them is
really just a friendship, and not something more... Leonie Mack is
back with another fabulously romantic escape, perfect for all fans
of Mandy Baggot, Jo Thomas and Carole Matthews. What readers are
saying about Leonie Mack: 'I read a lot of romance books and I have
to say this book is one of the best in terms of chemistry. Readers
- we're talking red hot!' 'A hot and sizzling read!' 'An uplifting,
intelligent novel with a lot of substance and of course, plenty of
romance' 'I can't stop thinking about this book!' 'Beautifully
written, this is a great take on the opposites attract theme.' 'A
delight to read with lots of fun, romance and funny bits along the
way.'
