USA Today bestseller Caitlin Crews returns with an emotional second chance romance in Secret Nights with a Cowboy, the next installment in her stunning cowboy series Cold River Ranch. A man holding on... Riley Kittredge has always known exactly what he wanted. His land, his horses. His woman. He met and married Rae Trujillo far too young, and their young love combusted right after they said their vows. But their passion has never managed to burn itself out. Yet when Rae shows this time, it's not a night of pleasure she demands, but a divorce. A woman letting go... Rae should have moved on a long time ago. She knows she and Riley just don't work. They might make great lovers, but that doesn't make a marriage. And now Rae wants a new life, complete with a baby. But when her husband offers to be a father, to give her the family she's always secretly desired, she and Riley will both have to face demons from their past―and choose love over fear at last. “Loaded with charming characters [and] wit….will win the heart of any romance fan.”― Publishers Weekly (starred review) on A True Cowboy Christmas

Now her father is dead, the MacLaine empire is crumbling, and Adair's inheritance depends on the company's largest investor: me . *** My whole life changed the night I met Sterling Ford.

An unexpected turn of events brings Dawn Somner into Hugo Baird's room, where she manages to make use of him to fulfill her dreams of having a child. But the very next day, Hugo sends out a city-wide wanted notice for her. "Come on, Mr. Baird, I just borrowed some of your genes. Is it really necessary to post a wanted notice on every mainstream media channel?" "You either abort the baby, or I'll pamper you for life," Hugo answers. Dawn has never met such an unreasonable person. "All I wanted was to borrow some of your genes … Had I known this was how things were going to turn out, I never would have done it!" "Too late." Hugo smiles seductively.

Well, no one should see him—that's one of his many rules. No one can touch him either; that's another rule. Except for me because I have broken every rule. Now I'm extremely drawn to him. His peculiarity is out of this world, and his beauty is beyond physical. But the Master has demons of his own and is being chased by his brutal past. Suddenly, we've become the reflection of each other's nightmares. I realize that the Master and I are not so different. Is this newly found bond just another uncertain fate that could deepen our wounds, or is it finally going to be our redemption?

The first novel from award-winning author Gianfranco Calligarich to be published in English, Last Summer in the City is a witty and despairing classic of Italian literature. Biting, tragic, and endlessly quotable, this translated edition features an introductory appreciation from longtime fan New York Times bestselling author André Aciman. In a city smothering under the summer sun and an overdose of la dolce vita, Leo Gazarra spends his time in an alcoholic haze, bouncing between run-down hotels and the homes of his rich and well-educated friends, without whom he would probably starve. At thirty, he’s still drifting: between jobs that mean nothing to him, between human relationships both ephemeral and frayed. Everyone he knows wants to graduate, get married, get rich―but not him. He has no ambitions whatsoever. Rather than toil and spin, isn’t it better to submit to the alienation of the Eternal City, Rome, sometimes a cruel and indifferent mistress, sometimes sweet and sublime? There can be no half measures with her, either she’s the love of your life or you have to leave her. First discovered by Natalia Ginzburg, Last Summer in the City is a forgotten classic of Italian literature, a great novel of a stature similar to that of The Great Gatsby or The Catcher in the Rye. Gianfranco Calligarich’s enduring masterpiece has drawn comparisons to such writers as Truman Capote, Ernest Hemingway, and Jonathan Franzen and is here made available in English for the first time.
