Book Description
The scorching sequel to Beautiful Bastard! Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon’s moved to New York City and is looking for excitement and passion without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night’s fun. But the manner—and speed—with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger. The whole city knows that Max Stella loves women, not that he’s ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, it’s not until Sara—and the wild photos she lets him take of her—that he starts wondering if there’s someone for him outside of the bedroom. Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.

Book Description
Once upon a time, twin sisters Marissa and Victoria were locked away on a castle on a hill--then brutally separated, a fact that left scars despite the gilded cage that kept them apart from the world. Stuffing down her feelings, Marissa became the fat sister, and only a couple of years ago has she learned to express herself--and lose weight. Robert Martinez, known by his best friend Jake as "Red Dog" during the wars in the desert, finds himself parenting a pregnant teen with nowhere else to go. When her teacher, the charming and unforgettable Marissa, contacts him to discuss his niece's issues, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to her. But both carry the scars of a childhood that was less than perfect, and both are wary of accepting love in any form. Can they let down their defenses long enough to let the other in? Or will they stand on the sidelines forever?

Shirley Jackson

Book Description
Shirley Jackson was one of America's most prominent female writers of the 1950s. Between 1948 and 1965 she published six novels, one best-selling story collection, two popular volumes of her family chronicles and many stories, which ranged from fairly conventional tales for the women's magazine market to the ambiguous, allusive, delicately sinister and more obviously literary stories that were closest to Jackson's heart and destined to end up in the more highbrow end of the market. Most critical discussions of Jackson tend to focus on "The Lottery" and The Haunting of Hill House. An author of such accomplishment--and one so fully engaged with the pressures and preoccupations of postwar America--merits fuller discussion. To that end, this collection of essays widens the scope of Jackson scholarship with new writing on such works as The Road through the Wall and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and topics ranging from Jackson's domestic fiction to ethics, cosmology, and eschatology. The book also makes newly available some of the most significant Jackson scholarship published in the last two decades.
