Voted BEST BOOK SERIES by Supportive Business Moms, UK "I highly
recommend this book to fans of Nora Roberts (one of my personal
faves) and fans of a sweet story filled with heat and heart." -Tia
Bach "Mom in love with fiction" (on Sisters in Love) "A beautiful
story about love and self-growth and finding that balance to
happiness. Powerfully written and riveting from beginning to end."
-National bestselling author, Jane Porter **BONUS** Includes the
first chapter of SISTERS IN BLOOM In SISTERS IN LOVE... Danica Snow
has always been the smart, practical, and appropriate sister. As a
therapist, she prides herself on making reasonable, conservative
choices, even if a bit boring, and as part of the Big Sister
Program, she has little time for anything more in her life. Blake
Carter is a player. He never gets bored of conquering women, and
with his sexy good looks and successful lifestyle, he has no
trouble finding willing participants. When his friend and business
partner dies in a tragic accident, he suddenly, desperately, wants
to change his ways. The problem is, he doesn't know how to stop
doing what he does best. When Blake walks into Danica's office, the
attraction between them is white hot, but Danica isn't the type to
give into the heat and risk her career. Danica's desire sets her on
a path of self-discovery, where she begins to question every
decision she's ever made. Just this once, Danica wants to indulge
in the pleasures of life she's been so willingly ignoring, but with
her Little Sister in turmoil and her biological sister's
promiscuousness weighing heavily on her heart, she isn't sure it's
the right time to set her desires free. While SISTERS IN LOVE can
be read as a stand-alone novel, for even more reading enjoyment you
may want to read the entire Love in Bloom series. READ THE FULL

Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan
favorite Atlas’s side of the story and shares what comes next in this
long-anticipated sequel to the “glorious and touching” (USA TODAY) #1
New York Times bestseller It Ends with Us.
Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil
coparenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas,
again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once,
time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her
on a date.
But her excitement is quickly hampered by the knowledge that, though
they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her
life—and Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his
ex-wife and daughter’s life.
Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, It Starts with Us
picks up right where the epilogue for the “gripping, pulse-pounding”
(Sarah Pekkanen, author of Perfect Neighbors) bestselling phenomenon It
Ends with Us left off. Revealing more about Atlas’s past and following
Lily as she embraces a second chance at true love while navigating a
jealous ex-husband, it proves that “no one delivers an emotional read
like Colleen Hoover” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author).

The Beekeeper of Aleppo
What will you find from his story?
Nuri is a beekeeper; his wife, Afra, an artist. They live a simple
life, rich in family and friends, in the beautiful Syrian city of
Aleppo - until the unthinkable happens. When all they care for is
destroyed by war, they are forced to escape.
As Nuri and Afra travel through a broken world, they must confront not
only the pain of their own unspeakable loss, but dangers that would
overwhelm the bravest of souls. Above all - and perhaps this is the
hardest thing they face - they must journey to find each other again.
Moving, powerful, compassionate and beautifully written, The Beekeeper
of Aleppo is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. Told with
deceptive simplicity, it is the kind of book that reminds us of the
power of storytelling.
A compulsively readable debut novel about two college students, each with his own troubled past, whose escalating obsession with one another leads to an act of unspeakable violence.
When Paul enters university in early 1970s Pittsburgh, it’s with the hope of moving past the recent death of his father. Sensitive, insecure, and like a stranger to his family, Paul feels isolated and alone. When he meets the worldly Julian in his freshman ethics class, Paul is immediately drawn to his classmate’s effortless charm.
Paul will stop at nothing to prove himself worthy of their friendship. But Julian is as volatile and cruel as he is charismatic, and Paul begins to suspect that he can never live up to what Julian expects of him.
As their friendship spirals into all-consuming intimacy, they each learn the lengths to which the other will go in order to stay together, their obsession ultimately hurtling them toward an act of irrevocable violence. From then on, everything changes…
These Violent Delights is an exquisitely plotted excavation of the depths of human desire and the darkness it can unleash upon us...

Discover the haunting, heart-breaking post-apocalyptic TikTok sensation.
Deep underground, thirty-nine women are kept in isolation in a cage.
Above ground, a world awaits. Has it been abandoned? Devastated by a

Watched over by guards, the women have no memory of how they got there,

But, as the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless
years pass, a young girl - the fortieth prisoner - sits alone an
outcast in the corner.
Soon she will show herself to be the key to the others' escape and
survival in the strange world that awaits them above ground. The woman
who will never know men.
