Knocked up. And it’s all the billionaire CEO’s fault.

I’m sitting on the bathroom floor, staring at the scattered pregnancy tests.

It’s like they’re mocking me.

I can pinpoint the exact moment when Ethan and I moved from playful flirting to this situation.

He surprised me with a birthday cake.

I remember trailing my finger across the cake’s icing and putting the frosting in my mouth. Hmmm..it was delicious.

Then he put my finger into his mouth to lick the gooey sweetness. My senses exploded.

Next, we’re rolling around in a passionate embrace. The cake was forgotten, but the deed was done.

It was a mistake, so I walked away.

But when a stalker threatens my safety, Ethan offers protection and a spare bedroom.

Now, I have to tell him about the baby bombshell.

But I won’t reveal my secret…. that I’ve fallen for him.

On the anniversary of a teen’s disappearance, three friends face a deadly hometown reunion in this twisty suspense novel by a New York Times bestselling author.

On prom night, Caroline Winterfield walked away from the ruins of an abandoned mansion called Haven Cliff and into the woods…never to be seen again. Only her three best friends know what really happened. But a secret is a secret, and a promise is a promise—even when it shatters lifelong friendships.

On the twenty-fifth anniversary of that night, Midge, Kelly, and Talia reunite at Haven Cliff, now a gleaming architectural jewel. But they aren’t alone. Someone is watching. Someone who knows what really happened to Caroline—and to the man who now lies dead a stone’s throw from where she was last seen.

Police detective Midge knows she’s dealing with a murder the moment she sees the item clutched in his lifeless hand. Only three other people in the world would grasp its significance. That means Kelly and Talia are either involved or in danger, because Caroline is long gone…or is she?

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Calamity of Souls comes David Baldacci’s newest novel, set in London in 1944, about a bereaved bookshop owner and two teenagers scarred by the Second World War, and the healing and hope they find in one another. 

Fourteen-year-old Charlie Matters is up to no good, but for a very good reason. Without parents, peerage, or merit, he steals what he needs, living day-to-day until he’s old enough to enlist to fight the Germans. After barely surviving the Blitz, Charlie knows there’s no telling when a falling bomb might end his life.

Fifteen-year-old Molly Wakefield has just returned to a nearly unrecognizable London. One of millions of children to have been evacuated to the countryside Molly has been away from her home for nearly five years. Her return, however, is not the homecoming she’d hoped for as she’s confronted by a devastating reality: neither of her parents are there.

Without guardians and stability, Charlie and Molly find an unexpected ally and protector in Ignatius Oliver, and solace at his bookshop, The Book Keep. Mourning the recent loss of his wife, Ignatius forms a kinship with both children, and in each other they rediscover the spirit of family each has lost.

But Charlie’s escapades in the city have not gone unnoticed, and someone’s been following Molly since she returned to London. And Ignatius is harboring his own secrets, which could have terrible consequences for all of them.

As bombs continue to bear down on the city, Charlie, Molly, and Ignatius learn that while the perils of war rage on, their coming together and trusting one another may be the only way for them to survive.

I once fell in love with two people.
I was lucky enough they fell in love with me too.

Chance Kellerman was the broken boy whose father convinced him he was worthless, and needed to hide his shameful desires.

We became friends first, then brothers when we played hockey for the same team.

But it was Presley King who brought us even closer. With her we became more. She set us on fire, and we had everything we’d ever wanted.

Then she left us.

Four years later, Chance and I are playing on rival teams when Presley appears on the Jumbotron. Our lives look a lot different than they did in college, and the odds seem stacked against us, but I’m positive we’ve been thrown back together for a reason.

Convincing them of the same won’t be easy, especially when Presley’s job finds out about our unconventional relationship. I’m prepared to fight for us, until one moment on the ice changes everything.

I thought fate brought us together, but maybe we’re only destined to lose it all.
