So when Charlies's parents banish her to Europe to have her "little problem" taken care of, Charlie breaks free and heads to London, determined to find out what happened to the cousin she loves like a sister. 1915. A year into the Great War, Eve Gardiner burns to join the fight against the Germans and unexpectedly gets her chance when she's recruited to work as a spy.

Thirty years later, haunted by the betrayal that ultimately tore apart the Alice Network, Eve spends her days drunk and secluded in her crumbling London house. That is until a young American barges in uttering a name Eve hasn't heard in decades, and launches them to find the truth...no matter where it leads. -- From cover flap

      Povučena Daphne Amos oduvijek je vjerovala da je u svom zaručniku Heathu pronašla srodnu dušu. Oboje su čuvali svoje tajne od drugih, ali i između sebe, sve dok Heathove učestale noćne more nisu počele unositi napetost u njihovu vezu. Odlučan da njihovom predstojećem braku pruži najbolju moguću šansu za uspjeh, Heath insistira da mu se Daphne pridruži na sedmodnevnom tretmanu u savjetovalištu za parove s doktorom Matthewom Cernyjem, psihologom poznatom po uspješnom pronicanju u korijene potisnutih sjećanja. Daphne nevoljko pristaje – iako je prošlost posljednje mjesto na koje želi poći. Zabačena i odbojna lokacija samo joj pojačava nelagodu, kao i doktorova pravila: moraju se odreći ključeva automobila i mobitela te biti pod nadzorom skrivenih kamera. K tome, ne smiju se družiti s ostalim pacijentima. Jedne besane noći, Daphne odlučuje napustiti sobu… I tek tada shvaća da institut nije ni blizu onome što je isprva mislila – te da se vrisci Heathove prošlosti ne bi smjeli čuti. Trebali bi ostati tajna.

      A rapturous novel of star-crossed love in a time of war—from the international bestselling author of The Secret of Clouds. During the last moments of calm in prewar Prague, Lenka, a young art student, and Josef, who is studying medicine, fall in love. With the promise of a better future, they marry—only to have their dreams shattered by the imminent Nazi invasion. Like so many others, they are torn apart by the currents of war. Now a successful obstetrician in America, Josef has never forgotten the wife he believes died in the war. But in the Nazi ghetto of Terezín, Lenka survived, relying on her skills as an artist and the memories of a husband she would never see again. Then, decades later and thousands of miles away, an unexpected encounter in New York leads to an inescapable glance of recognition, and the realization that providence has given Lenka and Josef one more chance. From the glamorous ease of life in Prague before the occupation to the horrors of Nazi Europe, The Lost Wife explores the power of first love, the resilience of the human spirit, and our capacity to remember.

Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon's moved to New York City and is looking for excitement without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night's fun. But the manner--and speed--with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger. The whole city knows Max Stella loves women, not that he's ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, it's not until Sara--and the wild photos she lets him take of her--that he starts wondering if there's someone for him outside of the bedroom. Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.
