Funny, irreverent, dark, and tender - a startling and sexy debut collection. Women (and men) cope with foreign marriages in Elena Lappin's shrewd domestic comedies of the absurd, set in London, New York, and a constellation of European and Israeli cities. Transplanted across oceans and ensconced in strange houses where appliances malfunction and husbands are not what they seem, women like Noa, Vera, and Paula settle into lives of persistently unfamiliar routine, stirred up from time to time with a very crooked stick. In 'Noa and Noah', Noa, an Israeli, has been married for two years before her English improves and she realizes that her British husband, Noah, is not a glamorous young businessman but a dull junior debt collector. In revenge she begins to frequent a nonkosher butcher-and that's just the beginning. Vera, a Russian, married to an unsuccessful British butler, takes to cab driving and extortion in 'Peacock'; Paula, a German, married to her dead best friend's husband, writes stories and snorts cocaine in 'Bad Writing'. With perfect pitch and a poker face, Lappin writes insidiously funny tales about love and survival in an international no-man's-land of marriage.

One for the keeper shelf! Enjoy again this charming classic romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. Would-be romance writer Bailey York was a woman who’d already failed twice at love. As far as she was concerned, men were wonderful to read—and to write—about, but that was as close as she wanted to get. Which was probably why she had such difficulty creating a hero. She needed a real-life model, she finally decided. And she found one: Parker Davidson was everything a hero should be. Compellingly attractive. Forceful and determined, yet capable of tenderness. A man of substance. Parker was perfect for Bailey’s novel—but he wanted to be the hero in her life, not just in her book! Originally published in 1992
