Sinopse

A botched robbery leaves Lupin’s young accomplices in peril and the thief himself stripped of his usual confidence after a mysterious crystal stopper disappears. Faced with a cunning adversary who seems to anticipate his every gesture, he must embark on a desperate quest through the French underworld to reclaim the artifact. The ticking clock adds a layer of frantic energy to a story defined by its relentless pace and psychological depth. It is a grueling test of endurance that proves even the most brilliant mind can be pushed to the brink.

    Mandie Kelton, Alicia Halverson, and Suzette Paxman are drawn together by the allure of forgotten elegance and the shadows of the past. They'll have to learn to get along if they have any hope of keeping their jobs, and as they restore an abandoned mansion in The Hamptons, they'll also discover the lost and hidden parts of themselves that make them into the women they're meant to be. 
    Mandie Kelton, with her keen eye for architectural beauty and a deep-seated belief in the stories walls can tell, hasn’t had a field assignment for months, and after being encouraged by her husband and then her best friend, Mandie volunteers in a meeting where people have been fired for less. 
    Alicia Halverson is the accounting genius on the team, and she also brings her unparalleled restoration skills, ensuring no detail is overlooked. She’s recently divorced and caring for two small children alone, so she also needs a local project. She and Mandie have always gotten along well despite their age differences, and Alicia is thrilled to be working with her best friend in The Hamptons. 
    However, after their third team member, a “bulldozer” who goes into the dirtiest of places inside the abandoned mansions the firm carefully restores, suffers a fall, Suzette Paxman is assigned to Mandie and Alicia’s team. 
    Suzie is a whirlwind of innovation and energy, whose initial friction with Mandie and Alicia masks her deep-seated fear of not belonging. She knows she’s not well-liked, and she’s always lived up to her role as a bulldozer. 
    As the walls of the Hampton House come alive with tales of yesteryears, Mandie, Alicia, and Suzie find themselves facing truths about their own lives. They learn that real strength lies in vulnerability, true friendship is forged in adversity, and the most enduring love stories are those that survive the test of time.

    Georgette Adams is trouble incarnate. Spoiled, sassy, smart . . . and the President's only daughter. 
     
     
     
    Getting summoned to a meeting at the White House felt like an honor—until I caught the catch. I'm the newest member of her security detail. Not only for this summer in DC, but once she leaves for Stanford in the fall as well. Her safety is my responsibility. 
     
     
     
    Trouble is, the only place Georgie respects any rules is on the tennis court. 
     
     
     
    Our priorities clash and our personalities conflict, yet somehow—the more time we spend together, the less it feels like work. 
     
     
     
    But my job description doesn't include making her laugh or enjoying our conversations. And it definitely doesn't involve broken rules or blurred lines. 
     
     
     
    My only job? 
     
     
     
    Is to serve.

    Savannah Martin has always been a good girl, doing what was expected and fully expecting life to fall into place in its turn. But when her perfect husband turns out to be a lying, cheating slimeball—and bad in bed to boot—Savannah kicks the jerk to the curb and embarks on life on her own terms. With a new apartment, a new career, and a brand new outlook on life, she’s all set to take the world by storm.  
    If only the world would stop throwing her curveballs...  
    Guess who’s coming to (Christmas) dinner...? 
    It’s the morning after the events of A Done Deal, and Savannah is looking at Rafe Collier, a pair of fuzzy handcuffs, a economy sized box of condoms (one of which plays Christmas carols), and the rest of her life... but first, there’s Christmas dinner with the Martins to get through. 
    Between Margaret Anne at her most poisonous, the ugliest Christmas sweater the world has ever seen, and yet another engagement ring under the tree, Savannah has plenty to worry about, not the least of which is whether Rafe will still want to stick around after the meal.
