Pop star Abby Murphy is living every girl's dream. She has fame, fortune, and a handsome boyfriend, a guitar player named Sean. That changes the night she finds him in the arms of another woman. Hurt and betrayed, Abby ends their relationship. But Sean won't accept the breakup, and she soon learns that he's had a hidden agenda all along. Overnight, Sean transforms from loving boyfriend to dangerous adversary, and Abby no longer knows who she can trust among her friends and family.

Abby turns to her bodyguard, Danny Nucci, a man who will do everything in his power to keep her safe. But when Abby realizes her feelings for Danny run much deeper than she thought, she refuses to give in to her attraction in order to preserve her new found independence as well as protect Danny from Sean's machinations.

When Abby finally finds the strength to reclaim her life and acknowledge her growing love for Danny, will she be able to let him in? And will Danny be able to overcome his own demons to be the man she needs him to be? Or will she be forced to let him go forever?

In the glittering heart of Manhattan, where wealth, ambition, and secrets collide, James Harrington returns home after a year abroad-grieving the tragic loss of his two closest friends and searching for a new beginning. A remote monastery retreat gave him clarity, but it couldn't erase the past. Now at forty-two, James steps into a new chapter: a promising job, a fragile sense of peace, and an unexpected connection with Sandy Carlisle, a brilliant and grounded colleague. Yet, the past still lingers-especially in the form of Jaclyn Whitmore, a glamorous socialite from his former life who isn't ready to let go. Meanwhile, high above the city, Eleanor Harrington-James's mother and a formidable art collector-becomes the target of Lisette Dubois, a seductive master thief with a taste for the rare and the priceless. When a legendary diamond necklace vanishes from Eleanor's penthouse on the 73rd floor of CitySpire, suspicion spreads among Manhattan's elite, and danger creeps closer to the lives Eleanor has carefully built. As Lisette's web of deception expands, Vivienne Lancaster-a party planner in the wrong place at the wrong time-is forced into a dangerous alliance with the police. Detective Daniel Cross, relentless and sharp, is on Lisette's trail, but time is running out. Lives begin to intertwine: Cheryl, a devoted biographer, finds love with Mark, her late friend's boss; Jaclyn faces her own reckoning at a wedding that changes everything; and Rosalinda, Eleanor's loyal maid, reveals strength no one expected. From Barcelona's cathedrals to the banks of the Nile, from stolen jewels to hard-won love, this is a sweeping story of reinvention, resilience, and the beauty of second chances.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
