When the world ends, can love survive?
For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone means fighting for
tomorrow is an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can't
remember what it's like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe
makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda's biggest concern is whether
her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their
boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals.
When reports of a widespread, deadly "outbreak" begin to surface,
these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly
their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can't outrun the
danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at
the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and
new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy--an
enemy who no longer remembers what it's like to be human.
Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic
world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when
the one you'd die for becomes the one who could destroy you?
"Red Hill" grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go until
its stunning conclusion. This is #1 "New York Times" bestselling
author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best.
The Voss family is anything but normal. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. Then, there’s Merit.
Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her—until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable. Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines, when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.
Fed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she’s never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves.
Poignant and powerful, Without Merit explores the layers of lies that tie a family together and the power of love and truth.

exactly what he's not been saying. Dare she find out more? As for
Bunny, she fell head over heels in love with Dave Mortimer when she
first arrived in town, but now it seems her past is catching up
with her. She can't help wondering if he'll still feel the same way
about her if he discovers who she really is - and what she did. As

face up to some difficult decisions. With love, betrayal and
dramatic revelations in the mix, this is one summer they'll never

It's time to find her own happy ever after Alice is the friend you
wish you had. The girl who makes a party more fun, drinks wine out
of a mug and makes you laugh while you're crying over an ex. Alice
is totally happy, everything is amazing and there is nothing at all
to worry about... Except, well: Her job was really great - 10 years
ago. She is in love with her best friend. Her credit card bills are
under her bed unopened...But maybe the biggest problem for Alice is
that she has a secret. A secret so big she can't tell anyone. How
do you keep a secret like that when everything is starting to fall
apart? And once it's out there, how do you ever begin to put
yourself back together again?
In Danielle Steel's powerful novel, four San Francisco trauma
doctors - the best and brightest in their field - confront exciting
and exacting new challenges, both personally and professionally,
when given a rare opportunity.
Bill Browning heads the trauma unit
at San Francisco's busiest emergency room. With his ex-wife and
daughters in London, he immerses himself in his work and lives for
the little time he can spend with his children.
A rising star at
her teaching hospital, Stephanie Lawrence has two young sons, a
frustrated stay-at-home husband, and not enough time for any of
them.
Harvard-educated Wendy Jones is a dedicated trauma doctor,
trapped in a dead-end relationship with a married cardiac surgeon.
And Tom Wylie's popularity with women rivals the superb medical
skills he employs at his medical centre, but he refuses to let
anyone get too close, determined to remain unattached forever.
These exceptional doctors are chosen for an honour and a unique
project: to work with their counterparts in Paris in a
mass-casualty training programme. As professionals they will gain
invaluable knowledge, but as ordinary men and women they will find
that the City of Light opens up incredible new possibilities,
exhilarating, enticing and frightening. When an unspeakable act of
mass violence galvanizes them into action, their temporary life in
Paris becomes a stark turning point: a time to make harder choices
than they have ever faced before - with consequences that will last
a lifetime.
Turning Point is a highly-charged, emotional tale about
how suddenly life can change for all of us, and that we might find
what we're looking for in the most unlikely of places . . .

GATSBY GIRLS She was an impulsive, fashionable and carefree 1920s
woman who embodied the essence of the Gatsby Girl -- F. Scott
Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda. As Fitzgerald said, "I married the
heroine of my stories." All of the eight short stories contained in
this collection were inspired by Zelda. Fitzgerald, one of the
foremost writers of American fiction, found early success as a
short story writer for the most widely read magazine of the early
20th century -- the Saturday Evening Post. Fitzgerald's stories,
first published by the Post between 1920 and 1922, brought the Jazz
Age and the "flapper" to life and confirmed that America was
changing faster than ever before. Women were bobbing their hair,
drinking and flirting shamelessly, and Fitzgerald brought these
exciting Gatsby Girls to life in the pages of the Post. A foreword
by Jeff Nilsson, archivist for the Post, adds historical context to
this wonderful, new collection, which is highlighted by an
introduction written by Fitzgerald himself. Each story is
accompanied by the original illustrations and the beautiful cover
images from the Post. Read the stories that made F. Scott
Fitzgerald one of the most beloved writers in America -- and around
the world -- still today.

alles het wat sy hart begeer – ʼn groot herehuis, geld, vroue en roem.
Slegs Grace Moore, sy teësinnige nuwe assistent, weet hoe min hy regtig
het. Maar Grace weet nie hoe haar baas in die geheim met sy duiwels
stoei nie: deur geboue te teiken as die Bird, ’n berugte maar

Soos Roman worstel Grace ook met spoke en geheime van haar eie. Ná ’n
rampspoedige huwelik haar lewe totaal van koers afgegooi het, het sy
besluit dat liefde nooit weer haar drome sal kniehalter nie. Maar soos

onherroeplik verander.

she was hardly filing papers in an air conditioned office.
Therefore she was left with the question whether she could find
true love as she faced those jagged ghoul shaped rocks which
appeared to inspire sedition?
