Read the USA Today bestseller from the author of Roses, a "sumptuous, full-bodied, and emotional" novel about five young spies embedded among the highest Nazi ranks in occupied Paris (Adriana Trigiani, NYT bestselling author of Tony's Wife).
At the height of World War II, a handful of idealistic young Americans receive a mysterious letter from the government, asking them if they are willing to fight for their country. The men and women from very different backgrounds -- a Texan athlete with German roots, an upper-crust son of a French mother and a wealthy businessman, a dirt-poor Midwestern fly fisherman, an orphaned fashion designer, and a ravishingly beautiful female fencer -- all answer the call of duty, but each for a secret reason of her or his own. They bond immediately, in a group code-named Dragonfly.
Thus begins a dramatic cat-and-mouse game, as the group seeks to stay under the radar until a fatal misstep leads to the capture and the firing-squad execution of one of their team. But is everything as it seems, or is this one more elaborate act of spycraft?

One hundred fifty years of Roses' Tolivers, Warwicks, and DuMonts!
We begin in the antebellum South on Plantation Alley in South
Carolina, where Silas Toliver, deprived of his inheritance, joins
up with his best friend Jeremy Warwick to plan a wagon train
expedition to the 'black waxy' promise of a new territory called
Texas. Slavery, westward expansion, abolition, the Civil War, love,
marriage, friendship, tragedy and triumph-all the ingredients (and
much more) that made so many love Roses so much-are here in
abundance.

Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a
small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber
and cotton industries, industries controlled by the scions of the
town's founding families. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber
magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and
now must deal with the deceit, secrets, and tragedies of their
choice and the loss of what might have been--not just for
themselves but for their children, and children's children. With
expert, unabashed, big-canvas storytelling, Roses covers a hundred
years, three generations of Texans and the explosive combination of
passion for work and longing for love.

A tender, classic love story about the power of first love and
beauty of forgiveness from the New York Times bestselling author of
Roses. Aly Kingston has only loved one man: Marshall Wayne. But she
put all of those childish dreams behind her ages ago when the
Waynes were forced to leave town. Her father's victory at
foreclosing on the Wayne family farm, the betrayal written all over
Marshall's face-it all lingers in her mind and in her heart. Now,
years later, she's surprised to see Marshall back home in
Claiborne. So much has changed since he's been away...and so much
remains the same. Seeing Aly after all these years surprises
Marshall Wayne. Gone is the gangly girl who used to follow him
around. In her place is a beautiful woman with warmth and
sensitivity, someone who makes him want to believe in love again.
But Marshall is back in Claiborne for one reason and one reason
alone: to get revenge on the man who destroyed his family and to
take back what rightfully belongs to him. As chilly spring mornings
warm into sunny summer days, will Aly lose her heart to the man
who's plotting to destroy her family? Or can she show him that love
runs deeper than vengeance?

Texas in the early 1900s, its inhabitants still traveling by
horseback and barely familiar with the telephone, is on the cusp of
a high-stakes industrial revolution, where there are fortunes to be
made, futures to be secured, and integrity to be tested. It will
leave some people destitute in its wake, while elevating others to
near godlike status. In the midst of this transformative time in
Southern history, two unforgettable characters emerge and find
their fates irrevocably intertwined: Samantha Gordon, the bright
and privileged heiress to the sprawling Las Tres Lomas cattle ranch
near Fort Worth, and Nathan Holloway, a sweet-natured and charming
farm boy from far north Texas. Before long, changes sweep the
state, and the titans of industry must adapt swiftly or fall by the
wayside. While their powerful families vie for supremacy in this
new world, Samantha and Nathan's inexplicable connection--rooted in
family secrets and shame--drives the narrative compulsively forward
as they love, lose, and betray. In this grand yet intimate novel,
Meacham once again delivers a heartfelt, big-canvas story full of
surprising twists and deep emotional resonance.
A tender, classic love story about letting go of the past and
finding the courage to embrace love from the New York Times
bestselling author of Roses. Deborah Standridge has done everything
her parents have ever asked of her with a smile on her face. That's
what southern belles do. But when a renowned architect offers her a
job at his firm across the country only days before her wedding,
she faces a dilemma. Should she become the dutiful wife of a man
she doesn't love to please her parents or finally make her own
dream come true? Leaving her fiancee at the altar, she flies to
Denver, setting in motion a tragedy that will haunt her for the
rest of her life. Now, as one of Denver's most successful
architects, Deborah manages to avoid love at all costs...until Dan
Parker walks into her firm-and her heart. Magnetic and
irresistible, Dan commissions her to design a building for him and
gives her the courage to believe in love again. But he has a secret
that may be her undoing. Will his love and the family they could
create become her crowning design? Or will he break her heart and
cost her everything she's worked so hard to build?
Spanning the 20th century, the story of Roses takes place in a
small East Texas town against the backdrop of the powerful timber
and cotton industries, industries controlled by the scions of the
town's founding families. Cotton tycoon Mary Toliver and timber
magnate Percy Warwick should have married but unwisely did not, and
now must deal with the deceit, secrets, and tragedies of their
