But when Marietta's private letters are accidentally delivered to Frederick's house, she must retrieve them immediately before they fall into the wrong hands.

A young widow. A gentle stable master. A secret that could change everything. Will Nora dare risk her heart? The London Countryside, 1820 Eleanora Coventry comes from a life of title and privilege, but even that isn't enough to prevent her from being wed at sixteen to a controlling and dismissive husband. So when she finds herself a widow at only twenty-seven, the idea of choosing her own path forward both thrills and terrifies her. She knows how to be a daughter and a wife, but she has no idea how to be Eleanora. She moves her son and daughter to her late husband's country estate, where she meets Ridley Ellis, the young stable master, and a favorite among the staff at Windsong Manor. He is ruggedly handsome, but also kind, and Eleanora finds herself drawn to him. There is only one problem: Eleanora has a title, and Ridley does not. Ridley Ellis has a way with horses. Even the most spirited stallions trust his soft voice and gentle touch. He has the same effect on people, and when he first lays eyes on Eleanora, he is smitten by her beauty. But he quickly discovers it will take more than soft words to gain her trust--Lord Coventry had been cruel to people and animals alike. But the closer he gets to Eleanora, the more he is willing to share his heart, and more importantly, his secret. In a world where title and privilege mean everything, will Eleanora and Ridley risk it all to find happiness? Or will the shadows of their pasts destroy everything they hope to build together?

Journal entry: Heading to school. I know what everyone will say. There goes the girl who tried to kill herself. Addison is no stranger to feeling stressed, insecure, and sad. Her therapist recommended she keep a journal to help her understand those feelings better, which she really needs today.

None of them are true, but it doesn't matter because Addison still feels like she's drowning. She still holds secrets she's not ready to share. During the school day, Addison encounters four other students struggling with their own secrets: Booker is anxious about seeing Addison. They were sort of a couple until he tried to kiss her. She fled and then tried to end her life. Those two things couldn't be related, could they? Celia feels trapped by her mother's abusive boyfriend. She can guess why Addison did what she did. Damion is TikTok-famous and thinks befriending Addison could boost his followers. But what no one knows is he needs the world to remember him since his sick mom doesn't anymore.

Swimming in a Sea of Stars is a poignant and gripping novel about how we're all interconnected, like the stars in the night sky that form constellations and map out the universe, and if even one star goes missing, the effect is profound.

Lige siden Emma første gang læste Stolthed og Fordom, har hun været forelsket i Mr. Darcy og anset Jane Austen for at være eksperten inden for alt, der har med romantik at gøre. Så da Emma falder for Blake Hampton, og han inviterer hende hjem for at møde hans forældre, tror hun naturligvis, en forlovelse ligger lige rundt om hjørnet. Blake er jo trods alt en enlig mand i besiddelse af en stor formue og må derfor mangle en kone. Så da det viser sig, at Blake er mere interesseret i et hook-up end en brud, føler Emma sig såret, forrådt og rasende. Hun begraver sig i sit arbejde som marketingschef hos Kinetics. Hun elsker sit arbejde, og hun er god til det, så da direktøren ansætter en konsulent til at hjælpe hende med forretningsudvidelse på østkysten, bliver hun dybt frustreret. Hendes frustration forvandler sig til chok, da konsulenten viser sig at være Blakes lillebror Lucas. Emma er fast besluttet på ikke at falde for Lucas, men efterhånden som hun lærer ham at kende, indser hun, at Lucas på ingen måde er som sin bror. Han er en sød og opmærksom fyr, der bruger sin tid og sine penge på at hjælpe andre. Det, hun ikke forstår, er, hvorfor Lucas bliver ved med at skubbe hende tilbage i Blakes arme, når han åbenlyst er lige så forelsket i hende, som hun er i ham. Det går op for Emma, at hendes kærlighedsliv er præcis lige så kompliceret, som det er for kvinderne i Jane Austens romaner. Hun er nødt til at finde frem til sandheden – og helst i en fart – hvis hun skal kunne håbe på en slutning, hvor ”de levede lykkeligt til deres dages ende”.

An intimate glimpse inside a silent epidemic that is harming teens, and a pathway for parents to help them reclaim the restorative power of sleep. If you could protect your child from unnecessary anxiety, depression, and chronic stress, and foster a greater sense of happiness and well-being in their lives, wouldn’t you? In this book, the authors of The Happy Sleeper, the classic book on helping babies and young children develop healthy sleep habits, uncover one of the greatest threats to our teenagers’ physical and mental health: sleep deprivation.

In this essential book, Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright draw on the latest scientific research to reveal that today’s teenagers are, in fact, the most sleep-deprived population in human history. In fact, at a critical phase of development, many teens need more sleep than their younger siblings — but they’re getting drastically less. Generation Sleepless guides families in building healthy habits around sleep by: • establishing family agreements around sleep habits; • altering family practices around phones, social media, and screen time; • regaining overall equilibrium in the home; and • remaking bedtime routines Packed with years of research and in-depth reporting, Generation Sleepless is a wake-up call for parents that equips them with the right tools to start a family conversation about sleep and to ultimately regain connection with their tweens and teens.
