Book Description
“If I could only read one writer from now until the end of my life, it would be Dorothea Benton Frank.” --Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times bestselling author of The Identicals The Lowcountry of South Carolina is where By Invitation Only begins at a barbecue engagement party thrown by Diane English Stiftel, her brother Floyd, and her parents to celebrate her son’s engagement. On this gorgeous, magical night, the bride’s father, Alejandro Cambria, a wealthy power broker whose unbelievably successful career in private equity made him one of Chicago’s celebrated elite, discovers the limits and possibilities of cell phone range. While the mother of the bride, Susan Kennedy Cambria, who dabbles in the world of public relations and believes herself deserving of every square inch of her multimillion-dollar penthouse and imaginary carrara marble pedestal, learns about moonshine and dangerous liaisons. Soon By Invitation Only zooms to Chicago, where the unraveling accelerates. Nearly a thousand miles away from her comfortable, familiar world, Diane is the antithesis of the bright lights and super-sophisticated guests attending her son Fred’s second engagement party. Why a second party? Maybe it had been assumed that the first one wouldn’t be up to snuff? Fred is marrying Shelby Cambria, also an only child. The Cambrias’ dearest wish is for their daughter to be happy. If Shelby wants to marry Frederick, aka Fred, they will not stand in her way—although Susan does hope her friends won’t think her daughter is marrying more than a few degrees beneath her socially. At the same time, Diane worries that her son will be lost to her forever. By Invitation Only is a tale of two families, one struggling to do well, one well to do, and one young couple—the privileged daughter of Chicago’s crème de la crème and the son of hard -working Southern peach farmers. Dorothea Benton Frank offers a funny, sharp, and deeply empathetic novel of two very different worlds—of limousines and pickup trucks, caviars and pigs, skyscrapers and ocean spray—filled with a delightful cast of characters who all have something to hide and a lot to learn. A difference in legal opinions, a headlong dive from grace, and an abrupt twist will reveal the truth of who they are and demonstrate, when it truly counts, what kind of grit they have. Are they living the life they want, what regrets do they hold, and how would they remake their lives if they were given the invitation to do so? By Invitation Only is classic Dorothea Benton Frank—a mesmerizing Lowcountry Tale that roars with spirit, humor, and truth, and forces us to reconsider our notions of what it means to be a Have or a Have Not.

Book Description
Wedding season has arrived in New York Times bestselling author Mary Alice Monroe’s fourth novel in the “distinct, complex, and endearing” (Charleston Magazine) Lowcountry Summer series, set against the romantic, charming Carolina lowcountry. Nothing could be more enchanting than a summer wedding—or two!—in storied Sullivan’s Island. A centuries-old plantation, an avenue of ancient oaks dripping moss, a sand dune at sunset… it’s all picture perfect, and half-sisters Dora, Carson, and Harper, and their grandmother Marietta “Mamaw” Muir couldn’t be more excited. Wedding dresses are picked, venues booked, and delectable cakes tasted. What could possibly go wrong? The answer, the Muir clan is soon to find out, is everything. Carson loves Blake, but struggles with giving up her independence. Harper questions if a prenuptial agreement will help or hurt the future of her marriage, and a newly unfettered Dora is uncertain whether she really wants to walk down the aisle again. Just when it seems things couldn’t get more complicated for the Muir sisters, a stranger arrives bearing a long-held family secret that has the potential to upset even the most carefully laid-out wedding plans. With the weddings mere weeks away, the invitations sent out, and the family in tumult, Mamaw and her Summer Girls discover the enduring and powerful bonds of family, and realize that, no matter how different each bride might be, she can still have her perfect wedding.

Book Description
Are you ready to meet the hot alpha bikers of the South Carolina Savage Kings MC? Roman Roman McNamara is not only the president of the Savage Kings of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina but he's also the king of one-night stands. There's just one woman Roman can't get off his mind no matter how hard he tries... When tragedy strikes during a bachelorette weekend, Roman and Charlotte's paths cross in the most unexpected way. Charlotte has no idea that Roman served in the Marines with her husband, or that he's been keeping an eye on her for years, all while continuing to keep her husband's secrets. Winston Winston Prescott has been a grumpy SOB for the past ten years. None of his brothers in the Savage Kings MC knew why, not until the day one of them made the mistake of posting a sexy centerfold on the wall of the clubhouse. The gorgeous model posing topless on sports cars and motorcycles isn't just any girl. Her name is Zoe Donahue, and she also happens to be Winston's stepsister. While the two haven't spoken in years, Winston will do anything it takes to earn Zoe's forgiveness. And this time around, he isn't going to let her leave without putting up a fight. Verek Verek Rhodes is playboy royalty in South Carolina. As a member of the Savage Kings MC and the manager of a nightclub, women were easy come, easy go in his life, until he met Tessa. Tessa Singleton was getting ready to marry the man of her dreams before her entire world came crashing down. Eventually, she'll have to face her past and make a decision about who she wants to be with. Will she choose the man she once loved or the biker who saved her from her nightmares? Conrad Conrad Erikson thought that doing the police chief a favor would be an easy assignment, one that could ultimately benefit the Savage Kings MC in the future. All he has to do is pick up the chief's daughter from college and bring her home. What could possibly go wrong? When it comes to the chief's daughter Hannah, the answer is anything and everything. Cannon When the livelihood of the Savage Kings MC is threatened, Cannon Erikson steps up. Madison Monroe has never had anyone to rely on except for herself. She worked her ass off chasing her dreams, earning a law degree, interning with political campaigns, and now, finally, going after her ultimate goal - making her own run for public office. Unfortunately, not everyone in this world has the same moral compass as Madison. She's never dealt with a dirty opponent, one who will cross every ethical line just to hurt her and undermine her campaign. When the former chief of police comes after Madison with all the resources and connections he still has in the city, Madison will have no choice but to turn to an unforeseen ally - Cannon and the Savage Kings MC. Nolan Nolan is a convicted felon, searching for his place in the world without screwing up his probation. The last thing he needs is a giant oaf from a rival biker gang showing up at the MC's clubhouse, threatening to kill Nolan if he doesn't give his estranged wife, Rita, a divorce. The funny thing is, Nolan is certain that he has never been married. The name Rita does, unfortunately, ring a bell - she's the reason he went to prison.
