romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of The Friend
Zone and The Happy Ever After Playlist. When Vanessa Price quit her
job to pursue her dream of traveling the globe, she wasn't
expecting to gain millions of YouTube followers who shared her joy
of seizing every moment. For her, living each day to its fullest
isn't just a motto. Her mother and sister never saw the age of 30,
and Vanessa doesn't want to take anything for granted. But after
her half-sister suddenly leaves Vanessa in custody of her baby
daughter, life goes from 'daily adventure' to 'hourly nappy
change'. The last person Vanessa expects to show up offering help
is the hot lawyer next door, Adrian Copeland. After all, she barely
knows him. No one warned her that he was the Secret Baby Tamer or
that she'd be spending a whole lot of time with him and his
geriatric Chihuahua. Now she's feeling things she's vowed not to
feel. Because the only thing worse than falling for Adrian is
finding a little hope for a future she may never see.

tribulations of this world, the City of Destruction, on the path
towards paradise, the Celestial City. Though weighed down by the

"It's a good thing that this is only the first book of a trilogy,
because after getting to know Tabitha, you won't want to leave her
at the end. . . . Written intimately as if you're peering into the
mind of a close friend, this book is a true testament to the
stresses on women today and how great girlfriends (and
grandmothers) are often the key to our sanity." - Good Morning
America The first novel in a captivating three-book series about
modern womanhood, in which a young Black woman must rely on
courage, laughter, and love-and the support of her two longtime
friends-to overcome an unexpected setback that threatens the most
precious thing she's ever wanted. Tabitha Walker is a black woman
with a plan to "have it all." At 33 years old, the checklist for
the life of her dreams is well underway. Education? Check. Good
job? Check. Down payment for a nice house? Check. Dating marriage
material? Check, check, and check. With a coveted position as a
local news reporter, a "paper-perfect" boyfriend, and even a
standing Saturday morning appointment with a reliable hairstylist,
everything seems to be falling into place. Then Tabby receives an
unexpected diagnosis that brings her picture-perfect life crashing
down, jeopardizing the keystone she took for granted: having
children. With her dreams at risk of falling through the cracks of
her checklist, suddenly she is faced with an impossible choice
between her career, her dream home, and a family of her own. With
the help of her best friends, the irreverent and headstrong Laila
and Alexis, the mom jeans-wearing former "Sexy Lexi," and the
generational wisdom of her grandmother and the nonagenarian
firebrand Ms. Gretchen, Tabby explores the reaches of modern
medicine and tests the limits of her relationships, hoping to
salvage the future she always dreamed of. But the fight is all
consuming, demanding a steep price that forces an honest reckoning
for nearly everyone in her life. As Tabby soon learns, her
grandmother's age-old adage just might still be true: Black girls
must die exhausted.
In September of 2004, Dr. Charles Marsh arrived at the Kriegmoor
Psychiatric Institute in Bayfield, Wisconsin, anxious to take on
his new duties, eager to distance himself from the scandal that had
forced him to resign his previous post. Among the patients assigned
to Marsh at this time was a young woman named Kari Hansen, a
college student who had suffered a nervous collapse during a
school-sponsored anthropology dig a year previously. Subsequently,
Ms. Hansen began experiencing what hospital records referred to as
"a series of vivid hallucinations; " her own words described
visions of an "alien" intelligence, a heretofore unknown kind of
life form which appeared to her as shadows, often of indeterminate
shape, occasionally taking on the form of man. Dr. Marsh came to
believe these shadows were real.
"Shadows in the Asylum collects, for the first time anywhere, Ms.
Hansen's patient records, as well as records belonging to a number
of Dr. Marsh's other patients and the related historical evidence
that led the doctor to his astonishing conclusions to present a
bizarre story of insanity that blurs the line between fact and
fiction.
EVIL TAKES MANY FORMS. PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR CHARLIE PARKER HUNTS
THEM ALL. In South Carolina, a young man faces the death penalty
for the killing of Marianne Larousse, daughter of one of the
wealthiest men in the state. It's a case that nobody wants to
touch, a case with its roots in old evil - and old evil is private
detective Charlie Parker's speciality. But Parker is about to make
a descent into the abyss, a confrontation with dark forces that
threaten all that Parker holds dear: his lover, his unborn child,
even his soul. . . For in a prison cell, a fanatical preacher is
about to take his revenge, as is a strange, hunched creature that
keeps its own secrets buried by a riverbank: the undiscovered
killer Cyrus Nairn. Soon, all of these figures will face a final
reckoning in southern swamps and northern forests, in distant
locations linked by a single thread, a place where the paths of the
living and the dead converge. A place known only as the White Road.
From the number one Sunday Times and multi-million-copy bestselling
author John Connolly comes the most compelling and unsettling
Charlie Parker thriller yet. 'A cracking read from an excellent and
highly original writer' Sunday Independent The Charlie Parker
novels can be read and enjoyed in any order. The White Road is the
fourth book in this globally bestselling series.
