Split Just Right
Danny lives in her mother's world of make-believe, but all she wants is the truth Dandelion Finzimer's mother has always wanted to get her daughter on the stage. Mrs. Finzimer is an actress—aspiring, anyway—who makes a living teaching and doing commercials, but lives for the applause she earns as a member of the Bellmont Players. Danny has no talent for acting—she couldn't even play Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker—but whether she realizes it or not, she's part of a play. Because no matter how tough things get, Danny's mom is always acting happy, telling subtly shifting stories, and doing her best to put a smile on her daughter's face. This used to be OK, but Danny is in ninth grade now, and high school is a time to face the truth. She has questions about her father, who left when she was a baby, and her paternal grandparents, who live less than an hour away. Getting answers will mean acting serious, and for this quirky young woman, that will be the performance of a lifetime. This ebook features a personal history by Adele Griffin including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's own collection.

THE BEST MAN'S VOW
Durante Conti has everything power can buy—wealth, influence, and the kind of fear that keeps most people from getting too close. The only thing he has never been able to take is Andreina Rossi. She belongs to another future. Worse, she is engaged to his oldest friend. Andreina’s glittering engagement has made her the obsession of tabloids and society pages, but the truth behind it is far darker: the wedding is a business deal designed to save them both. He gets the fortune tied to marriage. She gets the money she needs to break free from the agency controlling her life. It was never supposed to become complicated. Then wedding plans begin to unravel, old enemies take an interest in Andreina, and the man she should avoid becomes her fiercest protector. Every stolen conversation, every loaded glance, every moment in Durante’s shadow pushes her closer to a line neither of them can cross without destroying loyalty, reputation, and the illusion holding her future together. But Durante has a history that still follows him, and when it rises from the dark, Andreina must decide whether the man the world calls dangerous is the one she should run from— or the only one she should run to.
