More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement. Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot.

𝓞𝓷𝓮 𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓬𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓰𝓮 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰. Rose Jacobs has been unlucky in love and in life. Wracked with grief and loneliness after a tragic accident, Rose has spent the last three years of her life attempting to regain some form of normalcy. Her normalcy? Running a used bookstore owned by her parents, full of classic literature. Romance? What's that? The only romance in her life at the moment includes rereading the fictional romance filled between the pages of her favorite books in the store. Oh, and her beloved golden retriever, Ginger. With the way her life has turned out, she couldn't have predicted the turn of events that would unfold after a box of classic books is brought into her store by a stranger looking to make a quick buck. Finding hidden love letters throughout each book brought in, Rose delves into the world and love life of Jo Rutherford--the books' original owner, who happened to write love letters to her future husband in the 1940s. Feeling lonely, but inspired by the letters, Rose begins her journey of creating her own letters to someone she doesn't believe exists. Nothing could prepare her for the excitement her boring love life was about to get when River Ellison, a handsome, arrogant and persistent man comes into her bookstore only mere hours after writing her first letter. In a journey of self-discovery and growth, Rose maneuvers through the hardships of romance and love while still attempting to piece herself back together after her life was turned upside down three years ago.

Being popular isn't exactly the greener side of the meadow, but just one night of getting locked into the school with a "nobody" made Celeste feel normal and genuinely happy. Both of them bring a hidden side to each other. They might disagree most of the time, but that was a little price to pay for falling for their polar opposite.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Joshua Graham teams up with bestselling author Jack Patterson for an alternate history saga that will rock your mind. "A clever, imaginative tale of what if, rooted in secrets, believable and evocative, that will keep you guessing." —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Patriot Threat “…Pure genius… the most intriguing book I’ve read in a long time…” —Suspense Magazine From the back cover: THE FÜHRER'S DAUGHTER In 1944, Adolf Hitler dispatched a pair of Horten H.XVIIIs to drop atomic bombs on Manhattan and Chicago. The unconditional surrender of the majority of the United States of America followed, bringing the Second World War to an abrupt end. Seventy years after the end of World War II, in which the Hitler-led Axis powers took control of most of the planet, the German Empire has essentially erased the very memory of the United States of America from history. Raised as a child of the Aryan States of America, a Utopian society built upon Nazi ideals, Grace Drexler—daughter of Hans Drexler, the American Führer—lives a privileged life as a model citizen and member of the Nazi party. But when a shocking discovery shatters her very grasp of reality, she unravels a truth that has been hidden not only from her, but several generations of Aryan-Americans as well—a dangerous truth that could bring about a revolution and the collapse of government and society. Now an inadvertent threat, Grace must flee her home and life as she knows it not only to stay alive, but to learn the truth about herself, and realize her destiny to change the world. The Führer's Daughter is a suspenseful alternate history thriller. With an epic sweep of Biblical proportion, it resounds with the timeless human struggles for freedom, and triumph over evil.

Destiny Colt. One would think with such a strong name, she would have been different. But... nope. Her schedule consisted of cramming all her books with less than three hours for the test. Or copying her friend's homework with the speed of an electrocuted cheetah. Why? Because like you and me, she was too busy with the late night Netflix marathon and watching enough YouTube videos to end up on its wrong side. If there was one award she was entitled to, it was--Procrastination Queen. Tanner Blackburn. The other side of the world for Destiny. Glued to his MacBook, he might just give the late Steve Jobs a run for his money. Procrastination was not a word in his dictionary. Girls dropped to his feet, not for his mind but for his looks. Because he was no less endowed in that department too. They had nothing in common, both a beautiful mystery to each other. But haven't you heard the saying? Opposites attract.

"I'm a proud nerd. With a 4.O GPA, I don't care what people think about the way I dress or the way I'm always seen with at least three books in hand. Maybe I don't dress in a cool manner but in the end it is the marks that count and I beat you there even in my sleep." "I'm the world's hottest boy. God fell in love with me that's the reason you see me making a late entrance in this world. Marks don't matter as long as I get to be the quarterback. I don't run after girls, they follow me. Maybe I don't get a perfect grade but in the end it's the looks that matter and I beat your ass there." Meet Tylor Hastings and Trist Hastings. Two ends of a magnet, with no particular connection to even share their surnames, it was just coincidental.

What will happen if one exam could totally swap there lives? Will they enjoy this or is impossible to fit in some else's shoes? Maybe a brain swap won't hurt...
