In the only official theatrical adaption of the first and most beloved novel by V.C. Andrews, a mother takes her kids off to live with their grandparents in a huge, decrepit old mansion after the death of her husband. The children are kept hidden in a room just below the attic, visited only by their mother who becomes less and less concerned about them and their failing health, and more concerned about herself and the inheritance she plans to win back from her dying father, to the point of murder... CHRISTOPHER’S DIARY: SECRETS OF FOXWORTH / CHRISTOPHER’S DIARY: ECHOES OF DOLLANGANGER / SECRET BROTHER (Gallery HC/Pocket MM) October 2014 / January 2015 / May 2015 Three brand new installments in the classic and beloved Dollanganger series, which started with Flowers in the Attic. CHRISTOPHER’S DIARY: SECRETS OF FOXWORTH: Christopher Dollanganger was fourteen when he and his younger siblings were locked away in the attic of Foxworth Hall, prisoners of their mother’s greedy inheritance scheme. For three long years he kept hope alive for the sake of the others. But the shocking truth about how their ordeal affected him was always kept hidden—until now. Seventeenyear-old Kristin Masterwood is thrilled when her father’s construction company is hired to inspect the Foxworth property for a prospective buyer. The once grand Southern mansion still sparks legends and half-truths about the four innocent Dollanganger children, even all these decades later. Accompanying her dad to the “forbidden territory,” they find a leather-bound book, its yellowed pages filled with the neat script of Christopher Dollanganger himself. Her father grows increasingly uneasy about her reading it, but as she devours the teen’s story page by page, his shattering account of temptation, heartache, courage, and betrayal overtakes Kristin’s every thought. And soon her obsession with the doomed boy crosses a dangerous line. CHRISTOPHER’S DIARY: ECHOES OF DOLLANGANGER: Picking up where Christopher’s Diary: Secrets of Foxworth leaves off, Kristin Masterwood and her boyfriend up the ante—by going into her attic to reenact scenes described in Christopher Dollanganger’s journal. SECRET BROTHER: A young boy suffers amnesia from a trauma he suffered in what feels like must have been another life. He’s adopted into a wealthy family—but what will happen when he learns the truth about his past? BITTERSWEET DREAMS (Gallery HC/Pocket MM) October 2015 From New York Times bestselling author VC Andrews comes the Hardcover edition of a standalone novel about an extraordinarily smart high schooler who finds that the lessons of love are the most difficult to master. Mayfair Cummings is young, beautiful, and brilliant. But her intelligence makes her the outcast of both the private school she attends and the broken family she hopes to salvage. When she catches the eye of both a popular senior and her handsome English teacher, not even her brilliant mind can help her navigate the explosive new relationships she is forming, or a scandal that’s brewing… 3 GYPSY EYES (Gallery HC/Pocket MM) February 2016 Serenity knows things that other teenagers don't. She knows things that no adult could know. But she has no idea how. At 16, she's growing into a woman under the strict and watchful eyes of her adoptive parents. They're dismissive of her strange knowledge, reprimanding her for making things up and forbidding her to ever tell other people what she thinks she knows, sees, and hears. But when a strange and alluring new boy enrolls in her school, Serenity finds that she can't help but entrust him with all of her secrets. For they share many things in common. Perhaps, too much for comfort. MIRROR SISTERS (Gallery HC/Pocket MM) February 2017 Haylee and Kaylee Fitzgerald are twin sisters who are identical in every way. They've been raised by their mother to celebrate and perfect this uncanny similarity. They wear the same clothes, eat the same food, get the same grades, and have all the same friends. But both are growing weary of their domineering mother, whose obsession with their similarities is preventing them from being themselves. So, when they're finally allowed to attend a real high school, they find little ways to highlight their independence. But when Haylee runs headlong into the dating scene, both sisters are thrust into a world that their mother never prepared them for - a world far more dangerous than just upsetting Mother. V.C.

With ruthless prosecutor and Houston mayoral candidate Kay Christensen hungering to put another young thug behind bars, Gloria will face her biggest battle yet.

Your name is Jimmy el Camino. You’re a badass. Not just a badass: a supreme badass. Rambo with style. Snake Plissken with a failing liver. You’ve killed more men then cancer. But more men than the zombie apocalypse? That’s questionable...You were military for 20 years. The killing became too much, so you drank away the pain. The CIA booted you when they found you racing a HUMVEE through a minefield with a bottle of Johnny Walker your lap. So you came back to the US, bought yourself an El Camino — decided to live your dream. You raced in all the off-road circuits, in the demolition derbies. You proved to be one of the best (if most unconventional) drivers in the world. And you drank your way through every second of it… But then your old handlers came for you. CIA. Middle of the night. You knew too much. Had done too much. So they put a needle in your neck, put you to sleep — when you woke, up were in an off-the-grid prison. A dank basement, behind bars. You’ve been there for 6 years, rotting away, unaware of the hell that has descended upon the Earth. Unaware of the zombie apocalypse. This is how the book begins: with you in a cell, and a strange old military man coming to visit you. You’re being released. You have a mission: Drive your heavily armed and heavily armored 1967 el Camino from New York City to San Francisco. Your cargo? A girl named June, who just may be the key to ending the apocalypse… 6 Max Brallier is the author of more than twenty books for children and adults, including tie-in books for the popular show Adventure Time and the acclaimed Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?

Men want to be him, and women want to be thoroughly cross examined by him. Stanton’s a man with a plan. And for a while, life was going according to that plan. Until he receives an invitation to the wedding of his high school sweetheart, the mother of his beloved ten-year-old daughter. Jenny is getting married—to someone who isn’t him. He enlists the help of his “friend with mind-blowing benefits,” Sofia Santos—a cityraised, no-nonsense litigator—to help him win Jenny back. Sofia finds herself out of her element and obviously out of her mind as she agrees to go with him to The-Middle-Of-Nowhere, Mississippi. Her head tells her she's crazy...and her heart says something else entirely. What happens when you mix a one-stop-light town, two professional arguers, a homecoming queen, four big brothers, some Jimmy Dean sausage, and a gun-toting Nana? The Bourbon flows, passions rise, and even the best-laid plans get overruled by the desires of the heart. SUSTAINED: When you’re a defense attorney in Washington D.C., you see first-hand how hard life can be and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I have a reputation for being cold, callous, intimidating – and that suits me just fine. Complications don’t work for me - I’m a “need-to-know” type of man. If you’re my client, tell me the basic facts. If you’re my date, stick to what will get you off. I’m not a therapist or Prince Charming – and I don’t pretend to be. When Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along, they complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I’m going to Mommy & Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room and am knee deep in a damn compost pit. Chelsea’s too sweet, too innocent and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be hard, but she’s not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids. And that – that I know how to do. APPEALED: When Brent Mason looks at Kennedy Randolph, he doesn’t see the awkward, sweet girl who grew up next door. He sees a self-assured, stunning woman…who wants to crush the most intimate parts of his anatomy beneath the heels of her Louboutins. When Kennedy looks at Brent, all she can see is the selfish, Abercrombie & Fitch catalogueworthy teenager who humiliated her in high school. But she’s not a lovesick social outcast anymore--she’s a DC prosecutor with a long winning streak. Brent is the opposing attorney in her next case, and she thinks it’s time to put him through a little hell of his own. But things aren’t exactly working out that way. Because every fiery exchange has her wondering if he’s as passionate in the bedroom as he is in the courtroom. Each argument and objection only makes him want her more. In the end, Brent and Kennedy may just find themselves in love…or in contempt of court. Emma Chase is a devoted wife and mother who resides in a small, rural town in New Jersey. Writing has also always been a passion and with the 2013 release of her debut romantic comedy, Tangled, the ability to now call herself an author is nothing less than a dream come true.

This is a story of three people from very different backgrounds: Henry “Schuler” Jefferson, son of German immigrants from Midwestern farm country; Cora Rose Haviland, a young woman of privilege whose family has lost their fortune; and Charles “Gil” Gilchrist, an emotionally damaged WWI veteran pilot. Set adrift by life-altering circumstances, they find themselves bound together by need and torn apart by blind obsessions and conflicting goals. Each one holds a secret that, if exposed, would destroy their friendship. But their journey of adventure and self-discovery has a price—and one of them won’t be able to survive it. As they crisscross the heartland, exploring the rapidly expanding role of aviation from barnstorming to bootlegging, from a flying circus to the dangerous sport of air racing, the three companions form a makeshift family. It’s a one-of-a-kind family, with members as adventurous as they are vulnerable, and as fascinating as they are flawed. But whatever adventure—worldly or private—they find themselves on, they’re guaranteed to be a family you won’t forget.

Can she live with the constant anxiety of not knowing?

Lucy's tale is that of an ordinary woman who does something extraordinary in a desperate moment and manages to keep the secret for over two decades--from her daughter, from the babysitter who helped raise her, from family, from coworkers and friends. When Lucy’s now-grown daughter Mia discovers the explosive truth of her origins, she feels betrayed and angry and determines not to speak again to the mother who raised her. She reaches out to her birth mother for a tearful reunion, and Lucy is forced to flee to China to avoid prosecution for her past crime. What follows is a tale of motherhood and loss, of grief and hope -- told in Helen Klein Ross's poignant voice, a voice that will appeal to fans of Jodi Picoult and Emily Giffin. It is an exploration of the meaning of motherhood, told from alternating interconnected perspectives of Lucy, Mia, the birth mother Marilyn, and others intimately involved in the kidnapping and changed in the ripple effect of this earth-shaking moment. 23 Helen Klein Ross’s fiction and poetry has been published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Story Quarterly, and other journals and anthologies.

An academic all-star at the rarefied air of a Gossip Girl-esque prep school (where Paris Hilton once roamed the halls), Sam Lansky set out to make his Ivy League dream happen, caving to the pressures of the in-crowd. Rampant promiscuity, nonstop nightclubbing, substance abuse 29 and disturbing affairs with older men were part of the extracurricular activities. Precocious yet troubled, he became addicted not just to the prescription pills, but to the drama of his life. The book follows the sequence of events over the chaotic, outrageous and transformative years during which Sam's future, as well as his sanity, began to disintegrate. Through overdoses, car crashes, comas, and a string of rehabs ending in a psych ward in New Orleans, Sam spares no detail in relating the sometimes tragic, always heartfelt true story of his long road to recovery, finally facing himself in the process. The Gilded Razor is a powerful tale of self-discovery and a portrait of the current teenage problems: overprivileged and underparented, self-possessed and self-involved, growing up too fast but entering adulthood completely unprepared.

He acted in his final motion picture just weeks before he died at age ninety-three. He was an iconic presence in movies, the poster-boy for American youth in the idyllic small-town landscape of the 1930s. Yet, by the outset of World War II, Mickey Rooney had become frozen in time. A perpetual teenager in an aging body, he was an anachronism by the time he hit his forties. His child-star status haunted him his entire life as the gilded safety net of Hollywood—which he had thrived on in his youth—fell away, and he was forced to find support anywhere he could, including affairs with beautiful women, multiple marriages, alcohol, and drugs. In The Life and Times of Mickey Rooney, authors Richard Lertzman and William Birnes present Mickey’s nearly century-long career within the context of a changing American entertainment and social landscape. In addition to material from Mickey’s own diary, they chronicle his life story using little-known interviews with the star himself, his children, his former coauthor Roger Kahn, collaborator Arthur Marx, and costar Margaret O’Brien. This Old Hollywood biography presents Mickey Rooney from every angle—both in the spotlight and out—revealing the man Laurence Olivier once dubbed “the best there has ever been.” Richard A. Lertzman and William J. Birnes coauthored Dr. Feelgood, which garnered wide publicity in the United States, has been excerpted for second serial in the UK, and was translated into German. Lertzman is the former editor and publisher of Screen Scene magazine.

Moehringer and The Liars’ Club by Mary Karr, Blaine Lourd’s Born on the Bayou is a powerful gothic memoir set in the bayous and oil towns of 1970s Louisiana. A rollercoaster rags-to-riches story, Blaine Lourd’s meaningful debut is both a nostalgic send-up of ’60s and ’70s Louisiana, and a heartfelt portrait of one family’s coming of age. In honest, confessional prose, Born on the Bayou transports us to a pocket of the South where Lourd learns how to be a man from the two people he looks up to the most: his larger-than-life father, “Puffer,” a prominent figure in the oil business (coonass translation: awl bidness), and his successful older brother, Bryan. With an eye turned perpetually toward the gruff and distant Puffer, Lourd illustrates how those closest to us can cause the most hurt, even as we seek their approval. Whether he’s learning how to skin a duck at age ten, enjoying his first beer at thirteen, or detailing the finer points of ride-on lawn mowing, Lourd gets to the heart of being a Southerner with rawness and grace. From his early childhood through his eventual pilgrimage to the West Coast, he beautifully details what it means to have tangible roots to a place so ingrained it is a part of your own being. From barreling down the low country roads in a shiny Thunderbird to chasing women and learning to be a gentleman, Born on the Bayou is one man’s struggle against the forces of family love, loyalty and obligation, and the ties that keep us tethered to our roots no matter how far we run. As the saying goes, “a coonass always goes his own way.” Blaine Lourd was born and raised in New Iberia, Louisiana. He now resides in California with his wife and three sons and works in the finance industry. This is his first book.

It’s Gossip Girl meets Six Feet Under, told from the unique perspective of a fashionista turned funeral planner.

Soon to be a feature film starring Zac Efron and Adam Devine! Dave and Mike Stangle thought nothing of it when they boozily decided to turn to the “activity partners” section of Craigslist to solicit dates to their cousin’s wedding. The hilarious, out-of-this-world ad that they came up with—featuring a picture of the two brothers as centaurs—immediately went viral, eventually landing these Wayfarers-wearing, moped-riding, completely reckless but ultimately loveable bros in the timeless realm of the Internet famous.

That is, until she moved from San Francisco to Chicago to be with her fiancé, who thought she wasn’t taking her “job” of supporting him seriously enough—and promptly dumped her for a more supportive and “feminine” nurse. Now, as the new assistant press secretary to Chicago’s dynamic mayor, she’s determined to keep her eye on the prize: no time for men. But that all changes when she meets Luke Almeida, a firefighter as searingly sexy as he is quick-tempered. He’s also the second oldest of the Firefightin’ Dempseys, a family of foster siblings who have committed their lives to the service—if Luke’s antics don’t get him fired first. When Luke goes one step too far and gets into a bar brawl with the Chicago Police Department, Kinsey marches into Luke’s firehouse and lays down the law on orders from the mayor.

And he’s not about to let Kinsey make the rules. 41 PLAYING WITH FIRE: As the only female firefighter at Engine Co. 6, Alexandra Dempsey gets it from all sides: the male coworkers who think she can’t do the job, the wives and girlfriends who see her as a threat to their firefighter men, and her overprotective foster brothers who want to shelter their baby sister at all costs.

All her dreams are within reach—until the gorgeous and enigmatic Earl of Cashel catches her in the act of one last, very reluctant theft. Christian Burke, Earl of Cashel, is a war hero, a society darling, and a government agent hot on the trail of an international conspiracy. He holds his secrets close, his dark past even closer—until his investigation leads to Everleigh’s Auction Rooms. No outsider can penetrate its inner sanctum, but his lovely thief has full access. Christian plans to force her into cooperation. But the growing attraction between them may undo everything—for what he needs threatens everything Lilah holds dear, and losing her may well destroy Christian… LUCK BE A LADY: Catherine Everleigh is London’s most sought-after heiress. But having spent most of her life in a sickroom, she wants more than marriage and a quiet life in the country. Above all, she wants her birth right—the auction house that was stolen from her. To win this war, she’ll need a powerful ally. Who better than London’s most infamous and merciless crime lord, Dominic O’Shea? A marriage of convenience will prove just the thing. Having conquered the underworld, Dominic now seeks a new challenge. Marriage to Catherine will give him the legitimacy needed to expand his influence among the law-abiding elite. Besides, he has coveted Catherine for a year now—but that must remain his secret, for his new wife has no interest in romance, and he, no interest in the weakness of love. Seduction, however, is a different matter—and one that he means to make sure she enjoys, whether or not she wishes to… Meredith Duran is the author of eight previous novels, including The Duke of Shadows (winner of the Gather.com First Chapters Romance Writing Competition); Wicked Becomes You (included on the Woman’s World List of Best Beach Reads for Summer 2010), and the USA TODAY bestseller Fool Me Twice.

But when the interfering Duchess Natasha decides it’s time for her grandson to wed, Alexsey finds himself in Scotland, determined to foil her plans. Brainy, bookish, and bespectacled, Bronwyn Murdoch seems the perfect answer—she isn’t at all to the Duchess’s taste. Living at the beck and call of her ambitious stepmother and social butterfly stepsisters, Bronwyn has little time for a handsome flirt—no matter how intoxicating his kisses are. After all, no spoiled, arrogant prince would be seriously interested in a firm-minded female like herself. So…wouldn’t it be fun to turn his “game” upside down and prove that an ordinary woman can bring a prince to his knees… PRINCE AND I: Gregori Romanovin, Oxenburg’s warrior prince, is escorting his grandmother to a house party deep in the Highlands when he and his entourage are robbed at sword point by a group of ruffians led by a man the locals have dubbed “The Scottish Robin Hood.” The battle-savvy prince instantly realizes there’s something different about this thief, and it’s not just the Scottish accent— it’s the fact that “he” is really a “she.” Lady Murian, a young widow out for revenge against the powerful earl who killed her husband and stole his birth right, is now living in the woods with her family’s banished retainers. To stay alive, she and her band of men rob rich nobles coming to visit the evil earl. But when she ambushes the Prince of Oxenburg’s golden coach, she gets far more than she expected.

THE STRIKER: When Eoin MacLean decides to fight with Robert the Bruce, he knows he will earn the enmity of his new bride’s father, but he doesn’t expect Margaret MacDowell, the spirited girl he’d fallen in love with, to betray him. Blaming her—and himself for trusting her—for the disaster that lead to the death of Bruce’s two brothers, Eoin cuts her out of his heart and leaves her behind with no intention of ever coming back. But when Bruce puts him in charge of conquering the troublesome southwest province of Galloway—ruled by his wife’s father—Eoin reconsiders. Especially after he learns that his treacherous wife who thinks him dead plans to remarry. That’s one wedding he has no intention of missing. THE ROCKER: The first time he caught sight of Elizabeth Douglas, Thomas MacGowan thought she was a princess. To the son of the castle blacksmith, the daughter of the powerful Lord of Douglas might as well be. When it becomes clear that his childhood companion will never see him as a man she could love, Thom joins Edward Bruce’s army as a man-at-arms to try to change his lot. If he’s harbored a secret hope that he could close the gap between them, he faces the cold, hard truth when Elizabeth comes to him for help. She might need the boy who used to climb cliffs to rescue her brother from the hands of the English, but she would never see the son of a smith as a man worthy of her hand. Monica McCarty is the bestselling author of the Highland Guard series, the Highlander trilogy, and the Campbell trilogy. Her interest in the Scottish clan system began in the most unlikely of places: a comparative legal history course at Stanford Law School. After realizing that her career as a lawyer set against her husband’s transitory life as a professional baseball player was not exactly a match made in heaven, she traded in her legal briefs for Scottish historical romances with sexy alpha heroes.

Located in the small town of Grafton, Wonderland is Washington State’s largest amusement park. It's been around for almost fifty years. Any kid who grew up in the Pacific Northwest can sing the Wonderland jingle from the popular TV commercial, and it's Bianca's job as general manager to see that the brand of wholesome family fun that Wonderland represents is never tarnished. But she knows it's all an illusion. Behind the scenes, the giant Wonder Wheel is need of repairs, the House of Horrors is just a wooden box with strobe lights and fake cobwebs, and the Clown Museum is filled with a lot more than just wax clowns. Wonderland is full of dark secrets. And Bianca knows almost all of them. Single mom Vanessa Castro is new to the Grafton Police Department, and a box full of unsolved cold cases is waiting for her on first day. Right off the bat, the disappearances of several young men catch her eye. The cases all have a few things in common: the young men are tall, blond, and they all worked at Wonderland. As Vanessa investigates, it becomes clear that someone doesn't want her finding out just what lies under the weathered rollercoasters and arcade games of Wonderland.
