“A fast-moving, heartfelt thriller about the sacrifices we make for the people we love most.” —Real Simple
Before Owen Michaels disappears, he smuggles a note to his beloved wife of one year: Protect her. Despite her confusion and fear, Hannah Hall knows exactly to whom the note refers—Owen’s sixteen-year-old daughter, Bailey. Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. Bailey, who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.
As Hannah’s increasingly desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, as the FBI arrests Owen’s boss, as a US marshal and federal agents arrive at her Sausalito home unannounced, Hannah quickly realizes her husband isn’t who he said he was. And that Bailey just may hold the key to figuring out Owen’s true identity—and why he really disappeared.
Hannah and Bailey set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen’s past, they soon realize they’re also building a new future—one neither of them could have anticipated.
With its breakneck pacing, dizzying plot twists, and evocative family drama, The Last Thing He Told Me is a riveting mystery, certain to shock you with its final, heartbreaking turn.
Heralded as “impossible to put down” (Elle), and named a Best Book of the Summer by Glamour, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Marie Claire, and Us Weekly, Eight Hundred Grapes is a heartbreaking, funny, and deeply evocative novel about love, marriage, family, wine, and the treacherous terrain in which they all intersect.
There are secrets you share, and secrets you hide… What if your beloved fiancé, he of the crinkly smile and irresistible British accent, had kept a life-changing secret from you? And what if, just a week before your dream wedding, you discovered it?
Georgia Ford, bride-to-be, hops in her car and drives through the night, from Los Angeles to Sonoma, to her safe haven: her family, and the acclaimed family winery. Georgia craves the company of those who know her best, and whom she truly knows. Better yet, it’s the eve of the last harvest—the best time of the growing season, and Georgia knows she’ll find solace—and distraction—in the familiar rituals. But when Georgia arrives home, nothing is at all familiar. Her parents, her brothers, the family business, are all unrecognizable. It seems her fiancé isn’t the only one who’s been keeping secrets…
Eight Hundred Grapes is a story about the messy realities of family, the strength (and weaknesses) of romantic love, and the importance of finding a place to call home. “This winning tale will both satisfy on a literary level and encourage oenophiles to pour themselves a glass of a recent vintage to enjoy while reading; it’s a tasty treat for wine lovers and teetotalers alike” (Publishers Weekly). You won’t be able to put this “addictive” (Us Weekly) novel down.
A savvy, page-turning novel about a woman torn between her husband and the man she thought she'd marry by the author of the New York Times Bestseller and Reese's Book Club Pick, The Last Thing He Told Me
Annie Adams is days away from her thirty-second birthday and thinks she has finally found some happiness. She visits the world's most interesting places for her syndicated travel column and she's happily cohabiting with her movie director boyfriend Nick in Los Angeles. But when Nick comes home from a meeting with his therapist (aka "futures counselor") and announces that he's taking a break from their relationship so he can pursue a woman from his past, the place Annie had come to call home is shattered. Reeling, Annie stumbles into her neighborhood bar and finds Griffin-a grounded, charming chef who seems to be everything Annie didn't know she was looking for. Within three months, Griffin is Annie's husband and Annie finds herself trying to restart her life in rural Massachusetts.
A wry observer of modern love, Laura Dave "steers clear of easy answers to explore the romantic choices we make" (USA Today). Her third novel is packed with humor, empathy, and psychological insight about the power of love and home.

An insightful and funny multi-generational story, this deeply moving novel is sure to touch anyone whose heart has weathered an unexpected storm.
Emmy Everett is reluctantly heading home to New York for her brother Josh’s wedding. She has spent the last three years in a fishing town in Rhode Island and, having little to show for it, she doesn’t particularly want to answer the questions she is sure to face about her (ex)-fiance, her (questionable) career choices, her (unknown) future. But she is still shocked when her typically resolute brother Josh confesses he is having doubts about his imminent marriage – and he asks Emmy the hardest question of all: what do I do now?
With seventy-two hours until the wedding, Emmy embarks with Josh on a road trip to help him find a mystery woman, and to answer some long overdue questions about who he wants to spend his life with. It isn’t only Josh who has some lessons to learn. Along the way, Emmy discovers some undeniable truths about what she wants from her own life; and she begins to realize that perhaps her own happy ending is not as far away as it seems.

LO ÚLTIMO QUE ME DIJO FUE: PROTÉGELA
Antes de que Owen Michaels desapareciera, consiguió pasar a escondidas una nota a su nueva esposa, Hannah: «Protégela». Hannah sabe exactamente a quién se refiere la nota: Bailey, la hija adolescente de Owen, quien perdió trágicamente a su madre cuando era niña. Y que no quiere tener absolutamente nada que ver con su nueva madrastra.
Mientras las llamadas desesperadas de Hannah a su esposo quedan sin respuesta, el jefe de Owen es arrestado por fraude y la policía comienza a interrogarla; entonces se da cuenta de que su esposo no es quien decía ser. Y que Bailey podría tener la clave para descubrir la verdadera identidad de Owen y el porqué de su misteriosa desaparición. Juntas se han propuesto descubrir la verdad. Pero a medida que comienzan a reunir las piezas del pasado de Owen, enseguida se dan cuenta de que sus vidas nunca volverán a ser las mismas.

Ma stava vivendo una perfetta bugia.
È una sera come tante per Hannah Hall, quando all'improvviso sente suonare il campanello. Sulla soglia la aspetta una ragazzina sconosciuta che le porge un biglietto. E Hannah sa che, appena lo leggerà, la sua vita cambierà per sempre. Perché, in realtà, qualcosa di insolito quella sera c'è: Owen, l'uomo che ha sposato da poco più di un anno, per il quale si è trasferita da New York in una casa galleggiante nella baia di San Francisco, non è tornato dal lavoro e non risponde al telefono. Non è da lui. Su quel foglio, però, non c'è nessuna spiegazione. Solo una richiesta: Proteggila. Hannah capisce subito a chi si riferisce: all'altro grande amore di suo marito, la figlia sedicenne Bailey, che non sopporta quella donna arrivata a intromettersi tra lei e suo padre. Il muro di ostilità tra loro sembra insormontabile. E ora sono rimaste sole.
Quando, il giorno dopo, si diffonde la notizia dell'arresto del capo di Owen e alla casa galleggiante si presenta l'FBI, tutto si fa ancora più confuso. Solo una cosa è certa: Owen non è chi dice di essere. Ma dov'è finito? E da cosa deve essere protetta Bailey? A poco a poco, unendo gli indizi lasciati indietro da Owen, le due donne si renderanno conto che quello che stanno costruendo non è solo un misterioso passato, ma anche un nuovo futuro... che nessuna delle due avrebbe mai potuto immaginare.
Sunshine Mackenzie lebt ihren Traum! Mit ihrer YouTube-Kochshow und ihren Lifestyle-Büchern begeistert sie Millionen von Fans. Sie ist einfach die Person, mit der jeder gern befreundet wäre. Noch dazu hat sie ihren Traummann geheiratet, den Architekten Danny, der ihr treu bei allem zur Seite steht. Alles scheint perfekt, bis ausgerechnet an ihrem fünfunddreißigsten Geburtstag herauskommt, dass die hochgelobten Rezepte aus der Show gar nicht von ihr sind. Die Fans sind empört, und Sunshine sieht nur einen Ausweg: Sie verlässt New York, um in einem kleinen Küstenstädtchen noch einmal von vorn zu beginnen …
"Beschütze sie" steht auf dem Zettel, den Hannah eines Vormittags von einer Unbekannten in die Hand gedrückt bekommt. Er stammt von ihrem Ehemann Owen, der am Morgen wie jeden Tag zur Arbeit gegangen ist. Hannah kann ihn nicht erreichen, er ist spurlos verschwunden — und von einer Sekunde auf die andere verändert sich ihr Leben für immer. Denn ab heute hat sie nur noch zwei Aufgaben: die Liebe ihres Lebens wiederzufinden. Und Owens Tochter Bailey zu beschützen. Doch zu welchem Preis?
"Der ultimative Pageturner!" Reese Witherspoon
