  Are you ready for three wonderful and heart-warming books? The final boxset in the Finding Home Series packs a serious punch. It includes: Finding Home, Finding Balance, and Finding Peace.  
  Finding Home  
  "This is a rollicking adventure filled with the most unlikely (but welcome) coincidences and drama as Beth and Cole strive to find a place where they can both belong. Finding Home is a perfect 10." –Publisher's Weekly. 
  There’s no place (that really feels) like home. 
  Cole's mother married the Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein when he was only three years old. When his step-father’s failing health requires Cole to step in and help out, he does it without complaint, knowing he can never ascend the throne. When his step-father offers to adopt him, Cole knows it's unlikely the other members of the Princely Family will ever accept an adopted heir. 
  Even so, part of him wants to try. 
  Beth grew up surrounded by loving siblings and doting parents, but she wasn't born into this idyllic family. When her biological mother reaches out, explaining that she’s a pop star in Europe, Beth feels as if fate has orchestrated their reunion. Her bio mom is impressed with Beth's skill at the piano and invites her to join the European tour. Beth jumps at the chance. 
  The reality isn't quite the dream she imagined. 
  When Beth finds herself in a jam in the middle of Europe, can Cole rescue the damsel in distress, even though he's not actually a prince? And can Cole and Beth find the true meaning of home. . . together? 
  Finding Balance: It's okay to cherish your history and embrace your future. 
  Finding Peace: Billionaire UFC fighter Ethan has everything he could want... except love. Anica means to change that.

  PRAISE FOR LACE
  "Enthralling." – The Bookseller
  "With Lace, the stunning sequel to the award-winning Salt, Catrin Kean has spun an enthralling tale of trauma, redemption, and tangled family bonds: as delicate and complex as lace itself."  – Carly Holmes
  "Kean's writing is much like the lace Mary crafts in this sublime novel, intricate and delicate, tightly woven, robust and very finely controlled."  – Rachel Trezise
  
  "In the delicate dance of lacework, each thread becomes a conduit of transformation, weaving a tapestry of healing. The intricate patterns, formed with care and intention, create more than just a beautiful fabric—they spin the very threads of rejuvenation and hope, but not everything can be healed in one generation."  – Isabel Adonis

  Working as a nanny for the world’s grumpiest single dad should have been simple. Except I can’t keep my eyes off him. And he can’t keep his hands off of me. 
  Cade Eaton is 13 years older than I am and barely looks my way. Until I get him into the hot tub one night for a game of truth or dare. Then all bets are off—and so are our clothes. He’s gruff, a little rough around the edges. But broad-shouldered ranchers with calloused hands and filthy mouths are this city girl’s kryptonite. So who am I to resist? 
  But it’s in our quiet moments together that he softens. It’s when he takes care of me that I realize his hardened exterior is just a façade. It’s when I watch him go all sweet with his little boy that I really fall for him. 
  Someone convinced him once that his best wasn’t good enough. But I’ve never felt more cherished than I do in his arms. 
  My contract may say this arrangement is only for two months. 
  But my heart says this is forever.

  Manya Miriam Mittelman has an uneasy relationship with her flesh, of which there is a bit too much by the standards of Columbia University circa 1992. "If only the flesh weren't so closely connected with the spirit!" Manya reflects. "The spirit has such wonderful moments of illumination, and all the flesh ever does is intrude and say, 'We're hungry now. We have to pee now. We're horny now.'" Till the Fat Lady Sings traces the intertwined fortunes of plump, thoughtful Manya and her circle of acquaintances at Columbia, all of whom are grappling in one way or another with the unbearable weight of being in the 1990s: Manya's flamboyant fellow students, punk-neurasthenic Ophelia (nee Jane Saunders) and angst-ridden Arthur, organizers of the mysterious Doomsday Coalition; Feminism 101 professor Emilia Larsdatter (nee Emily Larson), who has broken up with the tempestuous poet Saul, though "in point of fact their relationship was not exactly over. Like malaria, it recurred from time to time in uncontrollable fits"; Boris, womanizing Russian emigre owner of Zaftigue, the boutique where Manya works on weekends; and Vanessa, who "was having a great deal of difficulty getting over Boris. Perhaps it was her job; she was an editor at LoveLorn romances, for their Regency line of novels. All day long Vanessa read about eighteen-year-olds whose impish flouting of convention ('I shall not perform my needlepoint, Mama!') led them straight into the arms of dashing rakes ('You have heard rumors, Minerva, of my way with the fair sex...')." Wickedly funny, worldly wise, Alisa Kwitney displays extraordinary sureness and emotional wisdom in her first novel. She's a contender.

  "I believe in the spirit of the age; it is a spirit of progress, though its path is often through blood."
  
  Set in Yorkshire during the turbulent years of 1811–1812, Shirley is Charlotte Brontë's most ambitious social novel. Against a backdrop of the Luddite riots and the economic strangulation of the Napoleonic Wars, the story weaves together the lives of two very different women: the shy, repressed Caroline Helstone and the vibrant, independent heiress Shirley Keeldar.
  
  The Clash of Progress and Tradition: At the heart of the crisis is Robert Moore, a mill owner whose determination to modernize his factory puts him at odds with his starving workers. As tensions escalate into violent attacks on the mill, the characters are forced to navigate a world of shifting loyalties, class warfare, and the harsh realities of the Industrial Revolution.
  
  A Masterpiece of Shared Experience: While Jane Eyre focused on the individual, Shirley explores the power of community and the "Woman Question." Brontë masterfully portrays the bond between Shirley and Caroline as they challenge the restrictive roles imposed upon them by society. It is a novel of intellectual depth and political passion, blending gritty historical realism with a poignant search for personal fulfillment.
  
  Witness the birth of the modern world through the eyes of two unforgettable women. Purchase "Shirley" today and experience Brontë's most expansive historical drama.
