*This gorgeous edition comes with French flaps, deckled edges, and spot gloss*
From the author of the Magnolia Parks universe and the Never series comes a fresh family drama with a heavy dose of romance and a twist of mystery.
I can't remember the last time I couldn't get a handle on myself and my emotions, but the lid is slipping.
Something about the slipping lid feels like it's Sam Penny's fault. Like he broke the seal and he's slowly opening me up.
London-based Georgia Carter, professional lie detector and body-language savant, has long been estranged from her infuriating, close-minded, wealthy South Carolina family. After a falling-out years ago, the chasm runs deep between the black sheep--Georgia and her gay, alcoholic brother--and their parents and elder siblings. But when their father dies suddenly, Georgia returns to the States for the funeral...where she comes face-to-face with Sam Penny, her brother's AA sponsor.
Amid the tensions, dramas and revelations of the family reunion, Georgia and Sam are instantly drawn to each other. However, Georgia's brother also harbors feelings for Sam, and the last thing Georgia wants to do is hurt the only family she's ever really had.
When their father's will reveals a surprising bequest to a mysterious stranger, Georgia's ability to read people becomes crucial in unraveling her father's hidden past. The delicate balance within the family teeters, and secrets--both old and new--threaten to push them beyond the breaking point.
There are only so many cracks a damaged family can take before it shatters.
A breathtaking fantasy debut from the bestselling author of the Magnolia Parks Series.
There is a boy of legend in the tales passed down in my family. He glides on the coattails of the sun, rides the wind, and freedom runs through his veins. His heart--so the legend goes--is wild.
The boy lived in a faraway land tucked behind a star, where pirates were still true, mermaids didn't hide, and fairies flew through the air like autumn leaves on a windy day. He took my mother there, just like he took my grandmother, and my great-grandmother.
Just as he would come for me.

Swept away from her life in London to a place beyond the stars, Wendy's granddaughter Daphne is torn between the boy of legend--Peter Pan, whose fate is irrevocably intertwined with her family's--and Jem Hook, the pirate who has captured her heart against all her better judgement.
Filled with hope and heartbreak, beauty and betrayal, dreams and devastating reality, Never asks: Can we ever be free while we're holding on to the past? And what would happen if--just once--we truly let go?

How many loves do you get in a lifetime?
She is a beautiful, affluent, self-involved, and mildly neurotic London socialite. He is Britain's most photographed bad boy who broke her heart.
Magnolia Parks and BJ Ballentine are meant to be, and everyone knows it.
She dates other people to keep him at bay; he sleeps with other girls to get back at her for it. But at the end of every sad endeavor to get over one another, it's still each other they crawl back to.
But now their dysfunction is catching up with them, pulling at their seams and fraying the world they've built; a world where neither has ever let the other go completely.
As the cracks start to show and secrets begin to surface, Magnolia and BJ are finally forced to face the formidable question they've been avoiding all their lives: How many loves do you really get in a lifetime?
