Book Description
New York Times Bestselling and Goncourt Prize-Winning Author of The Anomaly Any man—or woman—who wants to hear nothing—or no more—about love should put this book down. Anna and Louise could be sisters, but they don’t know each other. They are both married with children, and for the most part, they are happy. On almost the same day, Anna, a psychiatrist, crosses paths with Yves, a writer, while Louise, a lawyer, meets Anna’s analyst, Thomas. Love at first sight is still possible for those into their forties and long-married. But when you have already mapped out a life path, a passionate affair can come at a high price. For our four characters, their lives are unexpectedly turned upside down by the deliciously inconvenient arrival of love. For Anna, meeting Yves has brought a flurry of excitement to her life and made her question her values, her reliable husband, and her responsibilities to her children. For Louise, a successful career woman in a stable and comfortable marriage, her routine is uprooted by the youthful passion she feels for Thomas. Thought-provoking, sophisticated, and, above all, amusing, Enough About Love captures the euphoria of desire through tender and unflinching portraits of husbands, wives, and lovers.

Emma, an inexperienced fifteen-year-old, is smitten with Zach and the undeniable attraction brewing between them. She attempts to compete with the older girls to maintain Zach's affections and believes she is ready to take the relationship to the next level. Though she is eager to easily bid her virginity farewell; she misunderstands his hesitations. Zach is on twelve months supervised probation and caught a lucky break the first time around. He adamantly refuses to participate in any activity that would lead to juvenile detention, and he is frightened he'll lose Emma if specific information about his past is revealed.

Meanwhile, their biggest obstacles are the battle with her brother, her brother's buddies and Zach's elusive past.

Book Description
In this truly beautiful book, Andrea Zanatelli combines his extraordinary artworks with a selection of classical love poetry by Anne Brontë, William Blake, Christina Rossetti, Elizabeth Dickinson, Percy Shelley, and many more. Drawing its inspiration from the past, Love is Enough references the decorative arts of a bygone era, and is a combination of romantic imagery, antique fabrics, and allegorical illustrations mixed with poems and mottos. Often mistaken for real embroidery pieces, the artworks are in fact very detailed and intricate digital collages, made to look and feel like handcrafted works.

Reissue originally published 1997 Maggie Winthrop honestly would’ve remembered if she’d met Chuck Della Croce before. He’s outrageously tall, dark, and handsome—and completely naked—as he pounds on her backdoor, calling for her to let him in. He know things about Maggie that he shouldn’t. And when he tells he’s a time-traveler, and that they’re close friends seven years in the future, she’s ready to call the police. But Maggie’s future is Chuck’s past, and he has the ability to foretell events—and he convinces her that he’s not completely crazy. In fact, he’s there to enlist her aid in talking himself—the seven years younger version of himself—out of developing his theories for time travel. A rogue agency has hijacked his time machine and are using it to overthrow the U.S. Government. Chuck had never intended for time travel to be used as a deadly weapon, but a team of killers is already hot on his heels, chasing him across time to make sure his mission fails. Chuck’s got one chance to set things right—but he didn’t count on getting a do-over to win Maggie’s heart. He’s willing to sacrifice everything for this woman that he’s quietly loved for years. And Maggie’s head spins as she realizes that she’s falling for two men: Charles Della Croce, who lives in her timeline, and his life-hardened counterpart—the man from the future who calls himself Chuck...

Book Description
Where "Catch me if you Can" meets "The Wolf of Wall Street" on the ocean NEVER ENOUGH LOVE is the fascinating story of John Lazano, who grew up in a traditional New York Italian Catholic family, joined the Navy, married a prostitute, accidently made a nuclear submarine go in the wrong direction, dated a famous actress, sailed on over 350 cruises around the world, and lived multiple lives. They say real life is better than fiction and that is definitely true here. John's story spans a 54-year period that takes readers on an adrenalin rush with each new adventure as they accompany him from an innocent beginning to creating a dream job where he was able to circumnavigate the globe, make millions of dollars, have affairs with more than 400 women and then in a twist of fate, lose it all. Tragically losing his best friend at an early age had a profound impact on John causing him to live a life with no boundaries. This event set the stage for the stark realization; you only get one round and that none of this is a dress rehearsal. When your number is up, it's up. John paid a heavy price for living a life like this and so did everyone else.

Book Description
From our acclaimed poet and novelist: a gem of a novel that sizzles about love—between lovers, between friends, and for the places we live in—and pays homage to each moment of experience. Love lasted only one year but the time felt like several springs strung together. In Love Enough, the sharp beauty of Brand's writing draws us effortlessly into the intersecting stories of her characters caught in the middle of choices, apprehensions, fears. Each of the tales here—June's, Bedri's, Da'uud's, Lia's opens a different window on the city they all live in, mostly in parallel, but occasionally, delicately, touching and crossing one another. Each story radiates other stories. In these pages, the urban landscape cannot be untangled from the emotional one; they mingle, shift and cleave to one another. The young man Bedri experiences the terrible isolation brought about by an act of violence, while his father, Da'uud, casualty of a geopolitical conflict, driving a taxi, is witness to curious gestures of love and anger; Lia faces the sometimes unbridgeable chasms of family; and fierce June, ambivalent and passionate with her string of lovers, now in middle age discovers: "There is nothing universal or timeless about this love business. It is hard if you really want to do it right." Brand is our greatest observer—of actions, of emotions, of the little things that often go unnoticed but can mean the turn of a day. At once lucid and dream-like, Love Enough is a profoundly modern work that speaks to the most fundamental questions of how we live now.
