From the author of The Longest Ride and The Return comes a #1 New York Times bestselling novel about the enduring legacy of first love, and the decisions that haunt us forever.
1996 was the year that changed everything for Maggie Dawes. Sent away at sixteen to live with an aunt she barely knew in Ocracoke, a remote village on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, she could think only of the friends and family she left behind . . . until she met Bryce Trickett, one of the few teenagers on the island. Handsome, genuine, and newly admitted to West Point, Bryce showed her how much there was to love about the wind-swept beach town—and introduced her to photography, a passion that would define the rest of her life.
By 2019, Maggie is a renowned travel photographer. She splits her time between running a successful gallery in New York and photographing remote locations around the world. But this year she is unexpectedly grounded over Christmas, struggling to come to terms with a sobering medical diagnosis. Increasingly dependent on a young assistant, she finds herself becoming close to him.
As they count down the last days of the season together, she begins to tell him the story of another Christmas, decades earlier—and the love that set her on a course she never could have imagined.
A house full of love. A house full of secrets. #1 New York Times

fireman Taylor McAden feels compelled to take terrifying risks to
save lives. But there is one leap of faith Taylor can't bring

young mom is with her four-year-old son Kyle, a boy with severe
learning disabilities and for whom she has sacrificed everything.

of them. Kyle is gone. During the search for Kyle, a connection
between Taylor and Denise takes root. But Taylor doesn't know that
this rescue will be different from all the others.

In his 14th book, bestselling author Nicholas Sparks tells the
unforgettable story of a man whose brushes with death lead him to
the love of his life.
After U.S. Marine Logan Thibault finds a photograph of a smiling
young woman buried in the dirt during his tour of duty in Iraq, he
experiences a sudden streak of luck -- winning poker games and even
surviving deadly combat. Only his best friend, Victor, seems to
have an explanation for his good fortune: the photograph -- his
lucky charm.
Back home in Colorado, Thibault can't seem to get the woman in the
photograph out of his mind and he sets out on a journey across the
country to find her. But Thibault is caught off guard by the strong
attraction he feels for the woman he encounters in North Carolina -
Elizabeth, a divorced mother -- and he keeps the story of the
photo, and his luck, a secret. As he and Elizabeth embark upon a
passionate love affair, his secret soon threatens to tear them
apart -- destroying not only their love, but also their lives.
Filled with tender romance and terrific suspense, THE LUCKY ONE is
an unforgettable story about the surprising paths our lives often
take and the power of fate to guide us to true and everlasting
love.
In the tradition of his beloved first novel, "The Notebook," #1
"New York Times" bestselling author Nicholas Sparks returns with
the remarkable story of two couples whose lives intersect in
profound and surprising ways.
Ira Levinson is in trouble. Ninety-one years old and stranded and
injured after a car crash, he struggles to retain consciousness
until a blurry image materializes beside him: his beloved wife
Ruth, who passed away nine years ago. Urging him to hang on, she
forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories of their
lifetime together - how they met, the precious paintings they
collected together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them
and their families. Ira knows that Ruth can't possibly be in the
car with him, but he clings to her words and his memories, reliving
the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage.
A few miles away, at a local bull-riding event, a Wake Forest
College senior's life is about to change. Recovering from a recent
break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears
little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered
at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which
the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward -- even life
and death - loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in
love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her
plans -- a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the
secret he's keeping doesn't destroy it first.
Ira and Ruth. Sophia and Luke. Two couples who have little in
common, and who are separated by years and experience. Yet their
lives will converge with unexpected poignancy, reminding us all
that even the most difficult decisions can yield extraordinary
journeys: beyond despair, beyond death, to the farthest reaches of
the human heart.
In a small North Carolina town, a mysterious and beautiful woman
running from her past slowly falls for a kind-hearted store owner .
. . until dark secrets begin to threaten her new life. When a
mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North
Carolina town of Southport, her sudden arrival raises questions
about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined
to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her
into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store
owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with
her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. Despite her reservations,
Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in
the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex
and his family. But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she
struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her
. . . a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across
the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. With Jo's
empathetic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she
must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier
rewards . . . and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true
safe haven.
How far can love endure?

But when these distant memories begin to slide into reality, the passion that had lain still is ignited once more. Though so much is in their way, the miraculous force of their love refuses to fade.

And so begins one of the most poignant and compelling love stories you will ever read...The Notebook At thirty-one, Noah Calhoun, back in coastal North Carolina after World War II, is haunted by images of the girl he lost more than a decade earlier.
