Sinopse

New York Times–Bestselling Author: A young woman marries into a business dynasty—but is she driven by passion or profit? 
 
The oldest son of the rich and powerful Donners, Jonathan prefers to remain a playboy rather than take over the financial and social responsibilities of his family’s business empire. But in a near-fatal skydiving accident, Jonathan saves the life a radiant young woman, Nicole Pierce. Captivated by her beauty and intrigued by her mysterious past, Jonathan is determined to make Nicole his. After a whirlwind romance, the two elope and begin a long Caribbean honeymoon. 
 
Returning to the Donner estate, Nicole is immediately embraced by the family. For Jonathan’s father and younger sister, she’s a breath of fresh air. But not everyone has fallen for her. His dominant and powerful mother, Alexandra, believes the newest member of the family is more interested in money than in her son. 
 
Then Jonathan dies during a scuba diving trip and Nicole returns to the family’s compound a young and tragic widow. But Nicole’s mother-in-law thinks her son’s death was no accident . . .

    An insanely competitive housing market.  A desperate buyer on the edge. In Marisa Kashino’s darkly humorous debut novel, Best Offer Wins, the white picket fence becomes the ultimate symbol of success—and obsession. How far would you go for the house of your dreams?  Eighteen months and 11 lost bidding wars into house-hunting in the overheated Washington, DC suburbs, 37-year-old publicist Margo Miyake gets a tip about the perfect house, in the perfect neighborhood, slated to come up for sale in one month. Desperate to escape the cramped apartment she shares with her husband Ian — and in turn, get their marriage, plan to have a baby, and whole life back on track — Margo becomes obsessed with buying the house before it’s publicly listed and the masses descend (with unbeatable, all-cash offers in hand).A little stalking? Harmless. A bit of trespassing? Necessary. As Margo infiltrates the homeowners’ lives, her tactics grow increasingly unhinged—but just when she thinks she’s won them over, she hits a snag in her plan. Undeterred, Margo will prove again and again that there’s no boundary she won’t cross to seize the dream life she’s been chasing. The most unsettling part? You’ll root for her, even as you gasp in disbelief.Dark, biting, and laugh-out-loud funny, Best Offer Wins is a propulsive debut and a razor-sharp exploration of class, ambition, and the modern housing crisis.A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books

    There are stories tucked away on every floor of 10 Luckenbooth Close 
     
     
     
    1910, Edinburgh. Jessie MacRae has been sent to a tenement building by her recently deceased father to bear a child for a wealthy man and his fiancée. The harrowing events that follow lead to a curse on the building and its residents—a curse that will last for the rest of the century. 
     
     
     
    Over nine decades, 10 Luckenbooth Close bears witness to emblems of a changing world outside its walls. An infamous madam, a spy, a famous Beat poet, a coal miner who fears daylight, a psychic: these are some of the residents whose lives are plagued by the building's troubled history in disparate, sometimes chilling ways. The curse creeps up the nine floors as an enraged spirit world swells to the surface, desperate for the true horror of the building's longest kept secret to be heard. 
     
     
     
    Luckenbooth is a bold, haunting, and dazzlingly unique tale about the stories and secrets we leave behind—and the places that hold them long after we are gone.
