Book Description
Two lovers strive to trade a grim past for a bright future in this story of bittersweet yearning. Tina Jenson belongs to the same social stratum as Harris Chapman, but he's out of her league--at least that's what she thinks before they jump in bed together. It's the perfect night, but when she overhears crude, hurtful comments the next morning, she can't get away fast enough. Ten years later, Tina's life is a mess. That night with Harris didn't just hurt her feelings; it started a cascade of disappointment and heartbreak. Every time she bumps into Harris, her heart twists inside out. She still wants him, but she's harboring a painful secret from their night together that she's not ready to reveal. Crossed signals, high-society whispers, and shame have kept Tina and Harris apart for years, but deep down, they're hungry for each other and eager to write their own rules. Can they let go of the past and find their way back to each other, or are the barriers between them too high and too strong?

From the USA Today bestselling author of Everything at Last comes the third in the "delightful"* Magnolia Beach series, a tale of two hearts adrift finding love in the most unlikely of situations... The small, waterfront town of Magnolia Beach, Alabama, gets its fair share of tourists breezing in and out, but one handsome visitor might just be tempted to stay... Running the Bay Breeze marina means Shelby Tanner is used to fielding strange requests from vacationers, but she is still less than amused when she gets a call in the middle of the night to rescue a boat stranded nearby.

For one thing, there's the sweet, Southern charm. For another, there's the stunning tomboy who rescued him from the bay and keeps invading his thoughts. As the time draws near for Declan to weigh anchor, he begins to realize that Shelby may have saved more than his boat that night--and leaving Magnolia Beach might set his lonely heart permanently adrift...

Book Description
A TIME Magazine Best Paperback of 2017 One of Oprah Magazine's "Ten Best Books of 2017" "This singular poetry collection is a dynamic meditation on the experience of, and societal narratives surrounding, contemporary black womanhood. . . . These exquisite poems defy categorization." —The New Yorker The only thing more beautiful than Beyoncé is God, and God is a black woman sipping rosé and drawing a lavender bath, texting her mom, belly-laughing in the therapist’s office, feeling unloved, being on display, daring to survive. Morgan Parker stands at the intersections of vulnerability and performance, of desire and disgust, of tragedy and excellence. Unrelentingly feminist, tender, ruthless, and sequined, these poems are an altar to the complexities of black American womanhood in an age of non-indictments and deja vu, and a time of wars over bodies and power. These poems celebrate and mourn. They are a chorus chanting: You’re gonna give us the love we need.
