The Wedding of the Century & Other Stories: The Wedding of the Century\Jesse's Wife\Seduced by Starlight
The Wedding of the Century by MARY JO PUTNEY

Jesse’s Wife by KRISTIN JAMES

When a late-night walk on her father’s ranch inadvertently destroys her reputation, Amy McCallister finds herself married off to Jesse, a sinfully handsome farmhand. But can he convince her to give him her heart, despite their rocky beginning?

Seduced by Starlight by CHARLOTTE FEATHERSTONE

Jase Markham, London’s most dashing—and notorious—rake, has loved his brother’s fiancée for as long as he can remember. When his brother casts Blossom aside, Jase is determined to finally make her his—if she’s willing to overlook his scandalous reputation!

Skinny: A Novel (P.S.)

In the aftermath of her Orthodox Jewish father’s death, 26-year-old Gray Lachmann finds herself binge-eating compulsively. In an act of desperation, she abandons her life and her long-term boyfriend in New York City for Camp Carolina—a Southern weight-loss camp of dubious accreditation. Surrounded by a compelling cast of characters—her devious co-counselor Sheena, the self-aggrandizing camp director Lewis, the attractive assistant director Bennett, and a throng of combative campers—Gray finds herself in a maelstrom of bold personalities, warring egos, dark personal struggles, and a captivating mystery: her teenage half-sister Eden, a camper at Camp Carolina, whom Gray never knew existed. In trying to understand her father’s lies, Gray must confront her own self-deceptions, her demons, and her most devastating secret.

Visceral, poignant, and often wickedly funny, Diana Spechler’s masterfully wrought second novel illuminates a young woman’s struggle to make sense of the inextricable link between love and hunger, and to make peace with her body and with herself.
