Book excerpt: They’re both lucky in life but unlucky in love—unless they give each other a second chance. Adele Backwoods lives the career most actresses would envy, working full-time in the cast of a musical theater company. She just didn’t expect her free time to be so lonely. When her childhood friend, Peggy, falls ill and needs someone to watch her godson for a few days, Adele rushes back to Long Beach, California—and runs straight into Clayton, her childhood sweetheart and Peggy’s brother. Their first romance ended when Adele refused to follow Clayton to D.C. after College. Still, she decides there’s no harm in hooking up. Only for the summer. Hearts not involved. Then she receives an offer to be the lead in a Broadway show. She’d have to move to NYC and leave Clayton behind. Suddenly, Adele’s not as impartial to Clayton as she thought… not even with her future on the line. Clayton Elliot hasn’t left his lobbying job to go back to his hometown since College. His sister Peggy’s cancer treatment comes before his bad memories, though, and he returns to Long Beach to be there for her. The fact that Adele—Peggy’s best friend and his ex—would be in California too doesn’t occur to him until they’re face-to face again. He vows he won’t make the same mistake twice. But Adele’s still the sexy, ambitious woman who sparks a fire in Clayton whenever they’re together. Why not live in the present and enjoy each other, no strings attached? Because neither of them wants to change careers, for one. And it’s usually more than “just a fling” if you’ve never stopped loving them…

Book excerpt: 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?

A sense driven deeper as he examines himself through the lovely eyes of a poised young woman he meets at a New York nightclub. To Luke she represents getting back to the values his father raised him and his twin brother on--if only he can convince the disciplined and focused "working man's" daughter, that he is more than just a shallow celebrity. However, Luke has some major issues to work out, not the least of which are, toning down his decadent British rocker lifestyle and reining in his impulsive sexual nature. These challenges and breaking away from his controlling brother prove to be harder than he thought. Worse yet, just when he begins to make headway with her, he finds himself embroiled personally in the burgeoning AIDS epidemic of the '80's. Raena, wants to be more than "Daddy's little girl," an insurmountable endeavor, especially considering who her father is and the far-reaching influence he wields on either side of the Atlantic.

However, the power of coincidence, curiosity and physical attraction prove to be strong pulls for her and she soon finds herself heading down a questionable road she is not equipped to travel.
