keep them apart...

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.

In this heartfelt Southern love story from the #1 New York Times
bestselling author of The Notebook, a daring fireman rescues a
single mom--and learns that falling in love is the greatest risk of
all. When confronted by raging fires or deadly accidents, volunteer
fireman Taylor McAden feels compelled to take terrifying risks to
save lives. But there is one leap of faith Taylor can't bring
himself to make: he can't fall in love. For all his adult years,
Taylor has sought out women who need to be rescued, women he leaves
as soon as their crisis is over and the relationship starts to
become truly intimate. When a raging storm hits his small Southern
town, single mother Denise Holton's car skids off the road. The
young mom is with her four-year-old son Kyle, a boy with severe
learning disabilities and for whom she has sacrificed everything.
Taylor McAden finds her unconscious and bleeding, but does not find
Kyle. When Denise wakes, the chilling truth becomes clear to both
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 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.

LUCKY ONEIn his 14th book, bestselling author Nicholas Sparks tells the unforgettable story of a man whose brushes with death led him to the love of his life.Is there such a thing as a lucky charm? The hero of Nicholas Sparks's new novel believes he's found one in the form of a photograph of a smiling woman he's never met, but who he comes to believe holds the key to his destiny. The chain of events that leads to him possessing the photograph and finding the woman pictured in it is the stuff of love stories only a master such as Sparks can write.TWO BY TWOAt 32, Russell Green has it all: a stunning wife, a lovable six-year-old daughter, a successful career as an advertising executive, and an expansive home in Charlotte. He is living the dream, and his marriage to the bewitching Vivian is at the Centre of it. But underneath the shiny surface of this perfect existence, fault lines are beginning to appear and no one is more surprised than Russ when every aspect of the life he has taken for granted is turned upside down.
In a matter of months, Russ finds himself without a job or a wife, caring for his young daughter while struggling to adapt to a new and baffling reality. Throwing himself into the wilderness of single parenting, Russ embarks on a journey at once terrifying and rewarding -- one that will test his abilities and his emotional resources beyond anything he's ever imagined.
When a chance encounter with an old flame tempts him to take a chance on love again, he will navigate this new opportunity with trepidation and wonder. But with the loyal support of his parents, the wisdom of his older sister, Marge, and in the hard-won lessons of fatherhood, Russ will finally come to understand the true nature of unconditional love -- that it is a treasure to be bestowed, not earned.AT FIRST SIGHTThere are few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage.DEAR JOHNAn angry rebel, John dropped out of school and enlisted in the Army, not knowing what else to do with his life until he met the girl of his dreams, Savannah. Their mutual attraction quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah waiting for John to finish his tour of duty, and John wanting to settle down with the woman who has captured his heart. But 9/11 changed everything. John feels it is his duty to re-enlist. And sadly, the long separation finds Savannah falling in love with someone else. Dear John, the letter read and with those two words, a heart was broken and two lives were changed forever. Returning home, John must come to grips with the fact that Savannah, now married, is still his true love and face the hardest decision of his life.MESSAGE IN A BOTTLEDivorcée Theresa Osborne, newspaper columnist and mother of a twelve-year-old son, picks up a bottle on the beach during a seaside vacation. Inside is a letter from a man called Garrett. My dearest Catherine, I miss you my darling, as I always do, but today is particularly hard because the ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our life together...
For Garrett, his message is the only way he knows to express his undying love for a woman he has lost. For Theresa, wary of romance since her husband shattered her trust, the message raises questions that intrigue her. Who are Garrett and Catherine? What is their story? Challenged by the mystery and unaccountably drawn to find him, Theresa embarks on a search that takes her to a sunlit coastal town and an unexpected confrontation.
Brought together by chance, or something more powerful, Theresa and Garrett are people whose lives are about to touch for a purpose, in a tale that resonates with our deepest hopes for finding that special someone and everlasting love.
Also Available as a Time Warner AudioBook and eBook With over 6 million copies in print of his first two New York Times bestsellers, The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, Nicholas Sparks has become one of the world's most beloved storytellers...and one whose poignant tales renew our faith in the lasting power of true love. The words of love... "I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough." 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. At twenty-nine, socialite Allie Nelson is about to marry a wealthy lawyer, but she cannot stop thinking about the boy who long ago stole her heart.
