In this "heady tale of romance, intrigue, and empowerment" (Pam
Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author) during the Gilded Age, a
determined and remarkable female journalist is determined to
uncover the truth of the legendary Hope Diamond--from the New York
Times bestselling author of Tiffany Blues. New York, 1910: A city
of extravagant balls in Fifth Avenue mansions and poor immigrants
crammed into crumbling Lower East Side tenements. A city where the
suffrage movement is growing stronger every day, but most women
reporters are still delegated to the fashion and lifestyle pages.
But Vera Garland is set on making her mark in a man's world of
serious journalism. Shortly after the world-famous Hope Diamond is
acquired for a record sum, Vera begins investigating rumors about
schemes by its new owner, jeweler Pierre Cartier, to manipulate its
value. Vera is determined to find the truth behind the notorious
diamond and its mysterious curses, especially when her reporting
puts her in the same orbit as a magazine publisher whose
blackmailing schemes led to the death of her beloved father.
Appealing to a young Russian jeweler for help, Vera is unprepared
when she begins falling in love with him...and even more unprepared
when she gets caught up in his deceptions and finds herself at risk
of losing all she has worked so hard to achieve. "Vivid...[and]
memorable" (Publishers Weekly), Cartier's Hope is "a twisting tale
of greed, revenge, and masked identities that put love and lives at
risk. A fast-paced historical novel that shines with as much
intrigue and mystery as the Hope Diamond itself" (Beatriz Williams,
New York Times bestselling author).
The New York Times bestselling author of The Library of Light and
Shadow crafts "an enchanting glimpse of Jazz Age New York"
(Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Orphan Train) about a young painter whose traumatic past threatens
to derail her career at a prestigious summer artists' colony run by
Louis Comfort Tiffany of Tiffany & Co. fame. New York, 1924:
Twenty-four-year-old Jenny Bell is one of a dozen burgeoning
artists invited to Louis Comfort Tiffany's prestigious artists'
colony. Gifted and determined, Jenny vows to avoid all distractions
and take full advantage of the many wonders to be found at
Laurelton Hall. But Jenny's past has followed her there. Images of
her beloved mother, her hard-hearted stepfather, murder, and the
dank hallways of Canada's notorious Andrew Mercer Reformatory for
Women overwhelm Jenny's thoughts, even as she is inextricably drawn
to Oliver, Tiffany's charismatic grandson. As the summer shimmers
on, and the competition between the artists grows fierce as they
vie for a spot at Tiffany's New York gallery, a series of
suspicious and disturbing occurrences suggest someone else knows
about Jenny's childhood trauma. Supported by her closest friend
Minx Deering, a seemingly carefree socialite yet dedicated
sculptor, and Oliver, Jenny pushes her demons aside. Between stolen
kisses and jewels, the champagne flows and the jazz plays on until
one moonless night when Jenny's past and present are thrown
together in a desperate moment, that will threaten her promising
future, her love, her friendships, and her very life. "This
fast-paced mystery, star-crossed romance, and love letter to Louis
Comfort Tiffany will captivate Rose's many fans and readers of
20th-century historical fiction" (Library Journal, starred review).
PURE WICKED by Shayla Black During his decade as an international
pop star, Jesse McCall has lived every day in the fast lane. A
committed hedonist reveling in amazing highs, globetrotting, and
nameless encounters, he refuses to think about his loneliness or
empty future. Then tragedy strikes. Shocked and grieving, he sheds
his identity and walks away, searching for peace. Instead, he finds
Bristol Reese, a no-nonsense beauty scraping to keep her business
afloat while struggling with her own demons. He’s intent on
seducing her, but other than a pleasure-filled night, she’s not
interested in a player, especially after her boyfriend recently
proposed to her sister. In order to claim Bristol, Jesse has to
prove he’s not the kind of man he’s always been. But when she
learns his identity and his past comes back to haunt him, how will
he convince her that he’s a changed man who wants nothing more
than to make her his forever? ALL HALLOWS EVE by Heather Graham
Salem was a place near and dear to Jenna Duffy and Samuel Hall —
it was where they’d met on a strange and sinister case. They
never dreamed that they’d be called back. That history could
repeat itself in a most macabre and terrifying fashion. But, then
again, it was Salem at Halloween. Seasoned Krewe members, they
still find themselves facing the unspeakable horrors in a desperate
race to save each other-and perhaps even their very souls. HARD AS
STEEL by Laura Kaye After identifying her employer's dangerous
enemies, Jessica Jakes takes refuge at the compound of the Raven
Riders Motorcycle Club. Fellow Hard Ink tattooist and Raven leader
Ike Young promises to keep Jess safe for as long as it takes, which
would be perfect if his close, personal, round-the-clock protection
didn't make it so hard to hide just how much she wants him--and
always has. Ike Young loved and lost a woman in trouble once
before. The last thing he needs is alone time with the sexiest and
feistiest woman he's ever known, one he's purposely kept at a
distance for years. Now, Ike's not sure he can keep his hands or
his heart to himself--or that he even wants to anymore. And that
means he has to do whatever it takes to hold on to Jess forever.

attraction that ignites between them. And as Jehan and Seraphina
fight to resist the calling of their blood, a deadly enemy seeks to
end their uneasy truce before it even begins….
