The Family Upstairs
by Lisa Jewell

From the New York Times bestselling
author of Then She Was Gone comes
another page-turning look inside one family’s
past as buried secrets threaten to
come to light.
Be careful who you let in.
Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday,
Libby Jones returns home from work to
find the letter she’s been waiting for her
entire life. She rips it open with one driving
thought: I am finally going to know
who I am.
She soon learns not only the identity of
her birth parents, but also that she is the
sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion
on the banks of the Thames in London’s
fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth
millions. Everything in Libby’s life is about
to change. But what she can’t possibly
know is that others have been waiting for
this day as well—and she is on a collision
course to meet them.
Twenty-five years ago, police were
called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of
a baby crying. When they arrived, they
found a healthy ten-month-old happily
cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Downstairs
in the kitchen lay three dead bodies,
all dressed in black, next to a hastily
scrawled note. And the four other children
reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone.

together to fulfill their parents’ dream:

home back into an inn. The situation
would just be temporary—three years at

young innkeeper who fancies herself in
love with his alter ego.
Molly and Adam strike up an instant
friendship. When Molly finds a long-lost
letter in the walls of her inn she embarks
on a mission with Adam to find the starcrossed
lovers and bring them the closure
they deserve. But Adam has secrets of his
own. Past and present collide as truths are
revealed, and Molly and Adam will have to
decide if love is worth trusting.
The Rebel King
by Kennedy Ryan
Released November 18th
Ambition. Revenge. Love.
Rita Award-winning author Kennedy
Ryan delivers the gripping conclusion
to the All the King’s Men Duet.
Raised to resist. Bred to fight. Survival
is in my blood and surrender is never an
option.
Though surrender is what Maxim Cade
demanded of my body and heart, I had
other plans. We were fast-burning fascination
and combustible chemistry, but
the man I trusted with everything was a
trickster. A thief who stole my love. If what
we had was a lie, why did it feel so real?
The man I swore to hate will have it all and
wants me at his side. But power is a game,
and we’re the pawns and players.
Facing insurmountable odds, will we
win the world, or will we lose it all?
