On Manhattan’s Upper West Side, widow Taryn Michaels has convinced herself that she is living fully, working in a charming specialty fabric store and raising her daughter alone. Then a long-lost photograph appears in a national magazine, and she is forced to relive the terrible day her husband died in the collapse of the World Trade Towers...the same day a stranger reached out and saved her. But a chance reconnection and a century-old scarf may open Taryn’s eyes to the larger forces at work in her life. “[Meissner] creates two sympathetic, relatable characters that readers will applaud.

When she sees a hurt, she has to heal it, no matter the breed of the animal. After the death of his wife, Jacob Rothschild, Marquess of Dorchester, joined the army to distance himself from the tragedy his life had become. Not caring if he lived or died, he survived but was left with a scar across his face that matched the one upon his heart.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four young, unmarried sisters run The Wild Rose inn, which sits on the shore of the sleepy, serene, seaside town of Southwold. Until one day, returning soldiers begin to take refuge within their walls, and the flowers see their first blooms in these four Regency romances. A Duke for Daisy The moment Nathaniel steps foot into The Wild Rose Inn simply as Mr. Hawke, everything changes. He is constantly tested by the stubborn and opinionated eldest daughter of the innkeeper, yet he cannot seem to keep away from her. Daisy Tavers, in turn, wants nothing more than for the arrogant, self-righteous man to leave the inn and her family, for he is clearly hiding something he has no wish to share. Everything about Daisy and Nathaniel should mean they are absolutely wrong for another. Yet the more time they spend together, the more they cannot deny that they are inexplicably drawn to one another. When Nathaniel must assume the life of a duke, however, whatever will happen to Daisy? A Marquess for Marigold Jacob Rothschild, the Marquess of Dorchester, arrives at The Wild Rose Inn having survived the war, but left with a scar across his face that matches the one across his heart.

He is further chagrined when his identity is compromised and he must return to the Wild Rose Inn. Shocked by August’s return, Iris is determined to resist his charms. But when danger threatens, will the two be drawn together despite their best intentions?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A touching story of heroism and loss, a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of love to transcend the most unthinkable circumstances." —Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris From the internationally bestselling author of The Orphan Collector comes a haunting and lyrical tale of love and humanity in a time of unthinkable horror. The debut novel from a powerful voice in historical fiction, this resonant and courageous saga of a young German woman during World War II and the Holocaust is a must-read for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Alice Network. “Bloom where you're planted," is the advice Christine Bölz receives from her beloved Oma. But seventeen-year-old domestic Christine knows there is a whole world waiting beyond her small German village. It's a world she's begun to glimpse through music, books—and through Isaac Bauerman, the cultured son of the wealthy Jewish family she works for. Yet the future she and Isaac dream of sharing faces greater challenges than their difference in stations. In the fall of 1938, Germany is changing rapidly under Hitler's regime. Anti-Jewish posters are everywhere, dissenting talk is silenced, and a new law forbids Christine from returning to her job—and from having any relationship with Isaac. In the months and years that follow, Christine will confront the Gestapo's wrath and the horrors of Dachau, desperate to be with the man she loves, to survive—and finally, to speak out. Set against the backdrop of the German homefront, this is an unforgettable novel of courage and resolve, of the inhumanity of war, and the heartbreak and hope left in its wake. "A haunting and beautiful debut novel." —Anna Jean Mayhew, author of The Dry Grass of August "Ellen Marie Wiseman boldly explores the complexities of the Holocaust. This novel is at times painful, but it is also a satisfying love story set against the backdrop of one of the most difficult times in human history." —T. Greenwood, author of Keeping Lucy
