Book excerpt: The illuminating story of writer and muse—which also examines the cost to a young woman of her association with a larger-than-life literary celebrity—Autumn in Venice is an intimate look at Hemingway’s final years. In the fall of 1948, Ernest Hemingway and his fourth wife traveled for the first time to Venice, which Hemingway called “absolutely god-damned wonderful.” A year shy of his fiftieth birthday, Hemingway hadn’t published a novel in nearly a decade when he met and fell in love with Adriana Ivancich, a striking Venetian girl just out of finishing school. Here Andrea di Robilant re-creates with sparkling clarity this surprising, years-long relationship, during which Adriana inspired a man thirty years her senior to complete his great final work. Hemingway used Adriana as the model for Renata in Across the River and into the Trees, and continued to visit Venice to see her; when the Ivanciches traveled to Cuba, Adriana was there as he wrote The Old Man and the Sea.

Book excerpt: Give in to the sinfully hot final book in bestselling author JC Harroway’s The Pleasure Pact series… The truth is that the Pleasure Pact was my idea. Not because I thought my friends needed to get laid (they did) or because margaritas were involved (they were), but because I know who I want: Nick Rivers. My big, brooding, mouth-wateringly hot bodyguard. It’s been torture, the way he watches me with those brown eyes shuttered and locked down.

Now we’re in Milan, and I’m doing everything I can to break Nick’s iron will. Because I know I can trust him. I know he’s safe. And I know the fact that my being Lady Brooke Madden—London socialite, supermodel, businesswoman and even the victim of tabloid scandal—means nothing to him. He sees me. I see him. And we both like to watch. But wanting him means surrendering… He wants to control everything. But Nick can’t control what’s happening between us…or what will happen when he shows me who he really is. Take control. Feel the rush.
