  A la vetlla per la mort de la mare, en Joan Auger es retroba amb l'Elena Nadal, el seu primer amor i a qui li costa reconèixer de tan canviada com està. Dies després, l'Elena li truca a l'oficina per demanar-li una cita. Han passat trenta anys i en Joan descobreix una dona desconeguda i infeliç, afectada per una greu malaltia, que vol que li busqui la filla, a qui no veu des que va marxar de casa tot just fer els divuit anys. En Joan no s'hi sap negar i aparca la feina a la seva agència d'investigació financera per llançar-se a una recerca que li ha de canviar la vida.
  El secret de Laura Valdés és una novel·la psicològica amb tocs de thriller i una obra complexa en què, a través del relat del protagonista, no tan sols anem descobrint els fets que han empès la Laura a fugir de la família, sinó també la causa de l'hostilitat entre els germans Auger i que els enfronta per l'herència de la mare.
  Una història de passions fosques i desamors que transcorre en el marc de Barcelona, Castelldefels i l'Almeria del plàstic i les urbanitzacions ran de mar, on l'opulència dels agricultors enriquits i els especuladors immobiliaris conviu amb la misèria dels jornalers immigrants i les màfies del joc, la droga i la prostitució.

  Deborah Eisenberg is nearly unmatched in her mastery of the short-story form. Now, in her newest collection, she demonstrates once again her virtuosic abilities in precisely distilled, perfectly shaped studies of human connection and disconnection. From a group of friends whose luck in acquiring a luxurious Manhattan sublet turns to disaster as their balcony becomes a front-row seat to the catastrophe of 9/11; to the Roman holiday of a schoolteacher running away from the news of her ex-husband's life-threatening illness, and her unlikely guide, a titled art scout in desperate revolt against his circumstances and aging; to the too painful love of a brother for his schizophrenic sister, whose tragic life embitters him to the very idea of family, Eisenberg evokes "intense, abundant human lives" in which "everything that happens is out there waiting for you to come to it."

  A reluctant guardian. A resolute spinster. A battle of wills destined to unravel into love. 
  Edward Halstead expected peace and quiet, not guardianship. But when his fallen comrade’s daughter becomes his responsibility, his bachelor sanctuary at Briarwood House is soon invaded by a bright, headstrong young lady and her even more formidable aunt. 
  Miss Felicity Price has spent years protecting her niece from the world’s indifference, and she has no intention of leaving Daphne in the hands of a stoic, tightly buttoned gentleman who mistakes duty for affection. If Edward believes he can simply provide a roof, a chaperone, and a swift march to the altar, he is about to meet his match. 
  What begins as a clash of philosophies becomes something far more complicated. Beneath their sparring over curfews, suitors, propriety, and the proper amount of sugar in a tea tray, Felicity and Edward discover an inconvenient pull of their own. As Daphne’s debut approaches and Edward’s past resurfaces in unexpected ways, both guardian and aunt must face what they truly want, for the girl they love and for themselves. 
  Filled with sparkling banter, slow-growing tenderness, and mature characters who deserve a second chance at happiness, A Bachelor’s Lessons in Love works beautifully as part of the Bachelors of Blackstone series or entirely on its own. 
  Slip on your headphones, settle in, and let this charming Regency romance sweep you away. Your next favorite love story begins here.
