'Witty and downright hilarious' Helen Hoang, author of The Kiss Quotient ' Seriously, I can't remember the last time an author consistently made me chortle so hard' Goodreads reviewer Sam Brandis was Tate Jones's first: Her first love. Her first everything. Including her first heartbreak. During a whirlwind two-week vacation abroad, Sam and Tate fell for each other in only the way that first loves do: sharing all of their hopes, dreams, and deepest secrets along the way. Sam was the first, and only, person that Tate - the long-lost daughter of one of the world's biggest film stars - ever revealed her identity to. So when it became clear her trust was misplaced, her world shattered for good. Fourteen years later, Tate, now an up-and-coming actress, only thinks about her first love every once in a blue moon. When she steps onto the set of her first big break, he's the last person she expects to see. Yet here Sam is, the same charming, confident man she knew, but even more alluring than she remembered. Forced to confront the man who betrayed her, Tate must ask herself if it's possible to do the wrong thing for the right reason... and whether "once in a lifetime" can come around twice. With Christina Lauren's signature prose and perfect for fans of Emily Giffin and Jennifer Weiner, Twice in a Blue Moon is an unforgettable and moving novel of young love and second chances.

''Quinn is a master of historical romance'' Entertainment Weekly ''A smart, funny touch. . . reminiscent of Helen Fielding'' Time Magazine From New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the first novel in the beloved Regency-set world of her charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. ________________________________________ In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince - while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable . . . but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society - just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend''s sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm-at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London''s elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule . . . Find out why readers love Julia Quinn . . .

His father, who detests him, is determined to beggar the St. Clair estates and ruin his inheritance. Gareth''s sole bequest is an old family diary, which may or may not contain the secrets of his past and the key to his future. The problem is - it''s written in Italian, of which Gareth speaks not a word. All the ton agreed: there was no one quite like Hyacinth Bridgerton. She''s fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken and - according to Gareth - probably best in small doses. But there''s something about her - something charming and vexing - that grabs him and won''t quite let go. But rest assured, he''s spinning in his grave when Gareth and Hyacinth cross paths at the annual - an annually discordant - Smythe-Smith musicale. To Hyacinth, Gareth''s every word seems a dare, and she offers to translate his diary, even though her Italian is slightly less than perfect. However, as they delve into the mysterious text, they discover that the answers they seek lie not in the diary - but in each other; snd that there is nothing as simple - or as complicated - as a single, perfect kiss.

'' Dana Schwartz is one of the brightest of the next generation of young writers'' NEIL GAIMAN Edinburgh, 1817. Hazel Sinnett is a lady who wants to be a surgeon more than she wants to marry. Jack Currer is a resurrection man who''s just trying to survive in a city where it''s too easy to die. When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist''s Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. Beecham''s lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first thought. Because Hazel has made a deal with Dr. Beecham: if she can pass the medical examination on her own, Beecham will allow her to continue her medical career. Without official lessons, though, Hazel will need more than just her books - she''ll need corpses to study. Lucky that she''s made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living. But Jack has his own problems: strange men have been seen skulking around cemeteries, his friends are disappearing off the streets, and the dreaded Roman Fever, which wiped out thousands a few years ago, is back with a vengeance. Nobody important cares - until Hazel. Now, Hazel and Jack must work together to uncover the secrets buried not just in unmarked graves, but in the very heart of Edinburgh society. Praise for Anatomy : ''Lionhearted heroine you''ll root for from page one? Check. Dark academia vibes? Check. Cheeky romantic banter that will make you blush? Check, check and CHECK.

And when yet another date ends in disaster, she''s prepared to give up on love for good. But then she hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new matchmaking company that claims to find you the One using a DNA equation. Suddenly, love doesn''t seem quite so far out of reach . . .
