Book Description
James: My assignment is simple: go to the Cape and seal the real estate deal for my most important client. No problem. I'm good at my job, I know how to close a sale, and this time won't be any different. Until I meet Sawyer, the sexy young bartender I accidentally kiss in the broom closet. Turns out, he's one of the owners I'm here to negotiate with. Okay, so that complicates things. As does the fact that he doesn't want to sell. Or that we can't keep our hands off each other despite being on opposite sides. And most of all... that I might be falling for him even though I know better. I've made the mistake of falling for a younger man before and I won't do it again. Sawyer: For me, family is everything, and nothing represents ours more than the Sea Sprite, the motel that's been in my family for eighty years. Sure, others (*cough*James*cough*) may describe it as rundown or derelict or in desperate need of a wrecking ball. But I call it our legacy. I've got plans -- big plans to renovate the motel back to its vintage glory. The only thing standing in my way is James Allen, the fancy-schmancy lawyer from New York with his adorable smile, jaw-dropping assets, and his client's millions of dollars. James seems hellbent on destroying my future. But maybe there's a way for us to build a new one together...

Book Description
Scotty: When a gorgeous cop comes racing out of a building on Fifth Avenue, hops in your horse-drawn carriage, and screams, "Go!"--you go. You don't stop and ask for paperwork. Or a badge. Or an explanation of who you're chasing. You simply follow his shouted orders and try not to kill anyone in the process. At least, that's what I did when it happened to me. But then it turns out that the "cop" is none other than Roman Burke, Hollywood's hottest star, and our little joyride gets me fired. Now I'm broke, my horse has been evicted from her barn, and I've got nowhere to turn. Roman: When you accidentally hijack a Central Park carriage to escape the paparazzi, get pulled over by the police, and your crisis manager insists you lay low for a while, you nod your head and go. And when the cute carriage driver shows up on your front step, horse in tow, blaming you for losing his job, you agree to fix it. Even if that means hauling both him and his horse along with you on your Vermont getaway. At least that's what I did when it happened to me. Unfortunately, trouble seems to stick to the sexy carriage driver like hot syrup on a hotter waffle, making my Vermont retreat anything but quiet. Now the carriage driver is in my bed, unexpected guests are crawling out of the woodwork, and the paparazzi is on my tail. With chaos and scandal swarming around me, suddenly, it isn't just my career on the line. It's my heart.

Book Description
The traumatized central character of J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace is provocatively reimagined in this “surprising, subtle, and deeply challenging” novel (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Two years ago, Lucy Lurie was the victim of an act of sexual violence that devastated her life. Afterwards, she becomes obsessed with the author John Coetzee, whose acclaimed novel turned her brutal assault into a literary metaphor. Withdrawn and fearful of crowds, Lucy nonetheless makes occasional forays into the world of men in her search for Coetzee himself. She means to confront him. The Lucy in his novel, Disgrace, is passive and almost entirely lacking agency. Lucy means to right the record, for she is the lacuna that Coetzee left in his novel—the missing piece of the puzzle. Lucy plans to put herself back in the story, to assert her agency and identity. For Lucy Lurie will be no man’s lacuna. Lacuna is both a powerful feminist reply to the book considered to be Coetzee’s masterwork, and the moving story of one woman’s attempt to reclaim her identity after trauma.
