The Flaw in Our Design
"Olivia Carver's life in Lake Cabot, New York, is simple. That's how she likes it, even if she can't stop the town she loves from being overrun by wealthy tourists each summer. When she's not working at her family's paddleboard shop or spending time with her lovable but infuriating brothers, she puts her energy into writing professionally, a dream that has yet to materialize. Valerie Maycomb used to summer in Lake Cabot with her family when she was younger, until school and planning for her future became the driving forces in her existence. For the first time in years, following her college graduation, she's spending a few months in the small, lakeside town she loved as a child. All she wants is a little time to decompress before law school in the fall and maybe even strike up the courage to talk to a woman. A chance meeting at the lake opens up the possibility of a summer romance, with the explicit understanding that it can't become something more. Olivia's not built for falling in love, and Val needs to keep her eye on the prize of a successful career. But neither of them can deny the attraction, and summer quickly takes on a life of its own"--Cover, page 4.
The Monster with Patient Eyes
The war is not as simple as winners and losers. The dead remember. And Mara is the girl who broke their chains once before. She has two names now. Mara Vale, the bookshop girl who woke on an altar. Beth Silva, the half fey light bearer who tried to end the war in one blinding blast and vanished in violet fire. As memories rise, the truth cuts deep. Her light once tore the necromancer army apart. It also turned thousands on both sides into ash and screams. Out of that ruin, a new monster rose. Rowan Andrade. Once a masked lover at a fey ball. Now a cold, radiant lich who wears the guild master like a puppet and sits at the heart of a tower of bones. The necromancer guild wants Mara as a weapon to control. The Resistance wants to turn her into a symbol to rally around. Rowan wants her crowned at his side so they can reshape the world together. Mara wants something smaller and more impossible, a home that is not a cage, a life that is not built on other people’s chains, and Cain Hodge, the man beneath the High Reeve’s armor, who poured out his power to set her free. From a haunted cliff house to a ruined capital, from secret shrines under the city to the black tower where the Heart Reliquary beats, Mara must decide if she will finish what she started and unravel the magic that holds every undead soldier in the realm. If she succeeds, the old order will burn to ash. If she fails, Rowan will bind her light forever, and Cain’s sacrifice will mean nothing. In a world of restless spirits and ruined towers, where memory itself is a battlefield, Mara has to choose, save the future that depends on the secrets she carries, or save the forbidden love that taught her how to fight again.

A woman heads to Palm Springs to stay with her great-aunt, a Hollywood star with a mysterious past, in this romantic suspense novel by an Edgar Award winner. Ever since New York journalist Carol Hamilton was a young girl, her great-aunt Monica Arlen has been for her the stuff of glittering, starry-eyed fantasy. Now, the reclusive movie star offers Carol an escape of another kind. In flight with her son from an abusive marriage, she’s come to Monica’s isolated, fortress-like home on Mt. San Jacinto in Palm Springs—and not only for sanctuary. Carol hopes to do research for her biography of a once-celebrated life that has receded into the dark shadows of Hollywood history. Surrounded by an entourage of secretaries, companions, and servants, Monica is willing to give Carol and her boy refuge, and to Carol’s surprise, she’s receptive to telling her story. On one condition: Carol must tell the truth about everything, including Saxon Scott, Monica’s most dashing and enigmatic leading man. Meanwhile, Carol is tempted by the prospect of a new man who could heal her wounded heart—or shatter it. But as she digs deeper into lore and legend, she discovers that her great-aunt’s secrets run as deep and dangerous as her past. Soon Carol will find herself entangled in a real-life mystery, and the final scene could very well call for murder. From the New York Times–bestselling “queen of the American gothics,” Emerald is a novel of glamour, intrigue, and romantic suspense (The New York Times). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author’s estate.
