Finally with the girl he’s loved since childhood, Weston grows more desperate as the summer days pass. He and Erin will go to separate colleges. His biggest fear is that this means they’ll go their separate ways. Plagued with making the best of the time he has left with Erin, and finding a way to make it last, Weston finds himself in a different state of mind hourly. He is just beginning to realize that hope is like quicksand. The harder Weston struggles, the faster Erin sinks.

#1 New York Times Bestseller Jamie McGuire returns to self-publishing with this page-turning YA account of Erin Easter, one of three Erins in the small senior class of rural Blackwell High School who not only share a first name, but also their birthday. Easter, raised by a neglectful single mom, keeps to herself and admires Weston Gates from afar. The other Erins, Erin "Alder" Alderman and Erin "Sonny" Masterson are the darlings of the community: daughters of the two wealthiest families in town, best friends, cheerleaders, and everything Easter isn't--and they never let her forget it. Alder has even claimed Weston since the 8th grade. Weston is a well-liked star athlete, and the son of two prominent attorneys. He struggles daily with the pressures of living up to his family name and secretly empathizes with Easter's feeling that she belongs somewhere else; in a different life. Not until he begins sneaking nights out with Easter does he gain the courage to buck expectations and acknowledge his feelings ... both for his future, and for her. A shocking tragedy rocks the tiny town, and Easter's life is turned upside down in the best way possible. But when the truth is revealed and everything she thinks she wanted falls into her lap, life only becomes more complicated. Happenstance: A Novella Series (Part One) is an USA TODAY best seller!

But sometimes, life has other plans... One year after the loss of her fiancé, Tia Hastings needed to find a way to start over. She had to figure out how to be single again, but she had no idea how to do it. Last Stop was a tiny pub with no significance-she chose it to be anonymous, to watch the interactions between the sexes so she could figure out how to start her life over... Dylan Miller was a megastar. It was impossible for him to move amongst the general population without being recognized, but he longed to simply blend into a crowd. He donned a disguise and wandered into Last Stop, a dark little hole-in-the-wall where he was sure he wouldn't be recognized... When their worlds collide, Tia and Dylan discover something neither of them thought possible-love. But when a fallen star sees Dylan as her ticket back to the top and will stop at nothing to make him hers, Tia wonders if she's out of her league; and out of time to rescue the love she thought she'd never find again... Is it fate? Coincidence? Or both? *freedictionary.com

Book Description
In the dense woodland and harsh humidity of the Georgia/Florida border, a ruthless, and idyllic, Captain attempts to right his old wrongs and heal festering wounds to sustain his own lawfully rigid empire in this coastal wasteland. Helping him enforce his power are his two protégés, Cliff Ramos and Cooper Cornelius Happenstance, known better as Coop. Ramos is a young and brilliant detective, orphaned at an early age, and has always felt apart from the norm of humanity. He is being mentored by the older, and very animalistic Coop whose instincts are never in question. Both men have a unique ability to find, and create trouble, and are in a constant battle with themselves to either accept the demonic urges inside them or to rise up against that part of themselves and embrace their humanity....or is there a way to do both? This tale unfolds to hilarious, dark, and violent chapters of human greed, animal desires, and other worldly phenomenon, as Ramos, Cooper, and the Captain work to maintain power over their sanity and reality. When Coop's daughter, Sam, begins to have people die around her, both men are directed to investigate. Ramos and the girl are fallen lovers from high school, and he is vying to get her back. Coop cares for nothing since his wife died, except to protect Sam from any harm. Who is committing these random acts of murder? Is it Boogy, Sam's estranged eco-terrorist husband and father to her child? Is it the crime syndicate of The Viking, striking back at Coop for destroying their local operations years ago after they had brutally murdered his wife? Or does the trail lead closer to home, possibly implicating Sam, or even Ramos and Coop?

Book Description
"An intricate exploration of family and home, of mother and child, of friends, of women and written with both precision and style."—Weike Wang, author of Chemistry From a talented, powerful new voice in fiction comes a stunning novel about the intersection of three lives coming to grips with identity, family legacy, and what it means to make a house a true home. Cybil is a war child—the result of a brief affair between a young Japanese woman and a French soldier—who at a young age is transplanted to Tucson, Arizona, and raised by an American officer and his rigid wife. After a rebellious adolescence, she grows up to become a successful ob-gyn. Chloe, Cybil’s daughter, is adrift in an empty house in the hills of Virginia. Her marriage has fallen apart, and her estranged husband is dying of cancer. Room by room, Chloe makes her new house into a home, grappling always with the real and imagined boundaries that limit her as a single, childless woman in contemporary America. Beau, Chloe’s closest friend, is in love with a man he’s only met on the internet, who lives across the country. Shepherding Chloe through her grief, he is often called back to his loud, humid, chaotic childhood in Southwest Louisiana, where he first reckoned with the intricate ties between queerness, loneliness, and place. Through each of these characters Matalone weaves a moving, beautiful narrative of home, identity, and belonging. Home Making is a somber, yet hopeful, ode to the stories we tell ourselves in order to make a family.
