From Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the authors of the top ten
bestseller The Wife Between Us, comes The Golden Couple - a
compelling psychological thriller that will keep you guessing to
the very end. Marissa and Mathew Bishop seem like the golden
couple, until Marissa cheats. She wants to repair things - both
because she loves her husband, and for the sake of their
eight-year-old son. After a friend forwards an article about Avery,
Marissa takes a chance on this maverick therapist, who lost her
licence due to controversial methods. If Avery Chambers can't fix
you in ten sessions, she won't take you on as a client. She helps
people overcome everything, from anxiety to domineering parents.
Her successes almost help her absorb the emptiness she feels since
her husband's death. When the Bishops glide through Avery's door,
all three are immediately set on a collision course. Because the
biggest secrets in the room are still hidden, and it's no longer
simply a marriage that's in danger. 'The Golden Couple is
propulsive and thrilling. It grabbed me from the first page and
didn't let go. A page-turner that will keep you guessing until the
very end' - Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of Daisy Jones and The Six
and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

'Twists and turns galore' Amazon reviewer
From the internationally bestselling authors of The Wife Between Us
comes this electrifying new psychological thriller about truth, lies
and deadly obsession . . .
When Jessica signs up for a psychology study conducted by the
mysterious Dr Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few
questions, collect her money and leave. But as the questions grow more
and more invasive, she begins to feel as though they know what she’s
thinking . . . and what she’s hiding.
As Jessica's paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer
trust what is real in her life, and what is one of Dr Shields’s
manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess
quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.

From the author of the acclaimed "The Opposite of Me," a poignant,
witty novel about marriage, forgiveness, and the choices that give
shape--and limits--to our lives.
What would you do if your husband suddenly wanted to rewrite all of
the rules of your relationship? This is the question at the heart
of "Skipping a Beat," Pekkanen's thought-provoking second book.
From the outside, Julia and Michael seem to have it all. Both
products of difficult childhoods in rural West Virginia - where
they were simply Julie and Mike - they become high school
sweethearts and fall in love. Shortly after graduation, they flee
their small town to start afresh. Now thirty-somethings, they are
living a rarified life in their multi-million-dollar, Washington
D.C. home. Julia is a highly sought-after party planner, while
Michael has just sold his wildly successful flavored water company
for $70 million.
But one day, Michael collapses in his office. Four minutes and
eight seconds after his cardiac arrest, a portable defibrillator
jump-starts his heart. But in those lost minutes he becomes a
different man. Money is meaningless to him - and he wants to give
it all away. Julia, who sees bits of her life reflected in scenes
from the world's great operas, is now facing with a choice she
never anticipated. Should she should walk away from the man she
once adored - but who truthfully became a stranger to her long
before this pronouncement - or give in to her husband's pleas for a
second chance and a promise of a poorer but happier life?
As wry and engaging as her debut, but with quiet depth and newfound
maturity, "Skipping a Beat" is an unforgettable portrait of a
marriage whose glamorous surface belies the complications and
betrayals beneath.

One of Glamour's Best Books of Summer * An Us Weekly Trending Title
"A delicious beach read." -People "Relatable characters round out a
fun, fast read." -Good Housekeeping "A compelling, suspenseful
tale." -Kirkus Reviews "The perfect summer read." -BooklistHow well
do you ever really know the family next door? Bucolic Newport Cove,
where spontaneous block parties occur on balmy nights and all of
the streets are named for flowers, is proud of its distinction of
being named one the top twenty safest neighborhoods in the US. It's
also one of the most secret-filled. Kellie Scott has just returned
to work after a decade of being a stay-at-home mom. She's adjusting
to high heels, scrambling to cook dinner for her family after a day
at the office--and soaking in the dangerous attention of a very
handsome, very married male colleague. Kellie's neighbor Susan
Barrett begins every day with fresh resolutions: she won't eat any
carbs, she'll go to bed at a reasonable hour, and she'll stop
stalking her ex-husband and his new girlfriend. Gigi Kennedy seems
to have it all together--except her teenage daughter has turned
into a hostile stranger and her husband is running for Congress,
which means her old skeletons are in danger of being brought into
the light. Then a new family moves to this quiet, tree-lined
cul-de-sac. Tessa Campbell seems friendly enough to the other
mothers, if a bit reserved. Then the neighbors notice that no one
is ever invited to Tessa's house. And soon, it becomes clear that
Tessa is hiding the biggest secret of all.
"This riveting, original, and powerful mother-daughter story kept
me glued to the pages." Colleen Hoover "Filled with buried secrets
and jaw-dropping deception, Sarah Pekkanen's GONE TONIGHT is a
page-turning thriller about a mother-daughter you won't soon
forget." Harlan Coben Catherine Sterling thinks she knows her
mother. Ruth Sterling is quiet, hardworking, and lives for her
daughter. All her life, it's been just the two of them against the
world. But now, Catherine is ready to spread her wings, move from
home, and begin a new career. And Ruth Sterling will do anything to
prevent that from happening. Ruth Sterling thinks she knows her
daughter. Catherine would never rebel, would never question
anything about her mother's past or background. But when Ruth's
desperate quest to keep her daughter by her side begins to reveal
cracks in Ruth's carefully-constructed world, both mother and
daughter begin a dance of deception. No one can know Ruth's
history. There is a reason why Ruth kept them moving every few
years, and why she was ready--in a moment's notice--to be gone in
the night. But danger is closing in. Is it coming from the outside,
from Ruth's past? Is Ruth reaching a breaking point? Or is the
danger coming from the darkness that may live in Catherine,
herself? More praise for GONE TONIGHT "Captivating from beginning
to end." - Samantha Downing

"Writing with rawness and realism, Pekkanen doesn't hold
back...Fans of Liane Moriarty and Anne Tyler will appreciate the
story's depth." -Booklist "In her signature conversational style,
Pekkanen uncovers the truth behind the lies as Josie comes to grips
with reality vs. the mirage of her marriage." -Library Journal
(starred review) In this intricate and enthralling domestic drama,
perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and The Affair, the
internationally bestselling author of the "gossipy page-turner"
(Glamour) The Perfect Neighbors goes deep into a marriage in
crisis, peeling back layers of secrets to discover where the
relationship veered off course-and whether it is worth saving.
Josie and Frank Moore are happy...at least Josie thinks they are.
As parents of two young girls in the Chicago suburbs, their days
can be both busy and monotonous, and sometimes Josie wonders how
she became a harried fortysomething mother rather than the driven
career woman she once was. But Frank is a phenomenal father, he's
handsome and charismatic, and he still looks at his wife like she's
the beautiful woman he married more than a decade ago. Josie isn't
just happy-she's lucky. Until one Saturday morning when Josie
borrows her husband's phone to make a quick call-and sees nine
words that shatter her world. Now Josie feels as if she is standing
at the edge of a sharp precipice. As she looks back at pivotal
moments in the relationship she believed would last forever, she is
also plunging ahead, surprising everyone (especially herself) with
how far she will go to uncover the extent of her husband's
devastating secret. With her "conversational writing style and a
knack for making readers care about her characters" (The Washington
Post) bestselling author Sarah Pekkanen paints a vivid,
kaleidoscopic portrait of a marriage before and during a crisis-and
of a woman who fears that the biggest secret of all may be the one
she's hiding from herself.

An all-expense-paid week at a luxury villa in Jamaica--it's the
invitation of a lifetime for a group of old college friends. All
four women are desperate not just for a reunion, but for an escape:
Tina is drowning under the demands of mothering four young
children. Allie is shattered by the news that a genetic illness
runs in her family. Savannah is carrying the secret of her
husband's infidelity. And, finally, there's Pauline, who spares no
expense to throw her wealthy husband an unforgettable thirty-fifth
birthday celebration, hoping it will gloss over the cracks already
splitting apart their new marriage.
Languid hours on a private beach, gourmet dinners, and late nights
of drinking kick off an idyllic week for the women and their
husbands. But as a powerful hurricane bears down on the island,
turmoil swirls inside the villa, forcing each of the women to
reevaluate everything she knows about her friends--and herself.

A funny, poignant debut novel about the complicated bonds of
sisterhood. When Lindsay's controlled life falls apart and she's
forced to move home, she uncovers some revelations that call into
question the identities she and Alex have developed their whole
lives.
"Family secrets may shape us all, but it's the rich, complicated
layers of friendship that can save us."
Cate, Renee, and Abby have come to New York for very different
reasons, and in a bustling city of millions, they are linked
together through circumstance and chance.
Cate has just been named the features editor of "Gloss, "a high-end
lifestyle magazine. It's a professional coup, but her new job comes
with more complications than Cate ever anticipated.
Her roommate Renee will do anything to nab the plum job of beauty
editor at "Gloss." But snide comments about Renee's weight send her
into an emotional tailspin. Soon she is taking black market diet
pills--despite the racing heartbeat and trembling hands that signal
she's heading for real danger.
Then there's Abby, whom they take in as a third roommate. Once a
joyful graduate student working as a nanny part time, she abruptly
fled a seemingly happy life in the D.C. suburbs. No one knows what
shattered Abby--or why she left everything she once loved behind.
Pekkanen's most compelling, true-to-life novel yet tells the story
of three very different women as they navigate the complications of
careers and love--and find the lifeline they need in each other.
