Book Description
Destiny brings them together but will fate--and the tides of history--keep them apart? Kim Hendricks is a legendary American war reporter and famous novelist, a man's man and a woman's man--bold, exuberant, confident and intensely romantic. He is dashing, handsome and celebrated but reckless and dangerously flawed. Nicole Redon is French, a fashion designer who invents the clothes, the perfume and the style that transform a generation of women. She is beautiful, charming, lonely, haunted by a desperate secret. Kim confronts a devastating tragedy. Nicole guards a crushing secret. They meet by chance and pursue their star-crossed romance in New York and Paris, on safari in Africa, in glamorous resorts on the French Riviera and the savage blood-drenched front lines of two world wars. They are a larger-than-life couple who live and love in a radical new age of jazz and cubism, moving pictures and the stock market, Picasso and Garbo, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. They meet and embark on a romance so fierce and so blinding it threatens to overwhelm them both. Their insistence on living their lives so boldly and so freely makes them the last romantics, the first contemporaries. THE LAST ROMANTICS is an epic love story, sweeping yet intimate, set in Paris during the glittering, champagne-fizzed Jazz Age of the 1920's. "Delightful, de-lovely and de-vine!"

Ruth Harris has done a miraculous job of entwining the lives of two women in a totally believable and fascinating way. Plausible and entertaining, Love And Money reads fast and the time frames ring true. Ruth Harris is a talented writer who has come up with a novel so entertaining and interesting you won’t have to hide if someone asks you what you’re reading.” —West Coast Review of Books “Fast-paced, superior fiction with a zinging sense of style. A skillfully written, highly commercial “page-turner” Love And Money is also a series of carefully drawn character studies and insightful psychological portraits. “Love And Money focuses on three major characters. Deedee Dahlen is a million dollar heiress, ‘born late, as if she knew ahead of time how complicated her life was going to be and needed all the time she could get to prepare for coping with its difficulties.’ “Lana Bantry, Deedee’s illegitimate sister, was born ‘six weeks prematurely, as if she couldn’t wait to get out into the world and take charge.’ “Slash Steiner, a ‘man from nowhere who makes it big and becomes Deedee’s husband and Lana’s lover. “Harris makes these characters and the joys and tragedies of their lives exciting and believable. With a narrative style that is crisply precise and descriptive, an unerring ear for dialogue and an overall tone that is strongly reminiscent of Susan Isaacs, Harris has written a terrifically satisfying ‘good read.’” —Fort Lauderdale News Sun-Sentinel “Ruth Harris is in a class by herself!” —Literary Guild “In this entertaining story, Harris portrays characters who try to assuage their emotional pain by amassing wealth. Harris will keep her fans engrossed as she accentuates the riskiness and unpredictability of lives obsessed with money, setting them against a backdrop of dizzying social change.” —Publisher’s Weekly “Well-written, fast-paced and diverting.” —Library Journal Keywords, Series Keywords: sisters, secret baby, saga, family secrets, inheritance, legacy, heiress, romance, love story, kwomen's fiction, romance, literary fiction, debutante, rich girl, poor girl, wrong side of the tracks, cheating husband, jet set, socialite, billionaire, Alpha hero, New York, Massachusetts, strong woman, trophy wife, abused child, Wall Street, orphan, family, literary fiction

Book Description
PHYSICALLY SCARRED AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY CRIPPLED, Zeb Marlowe is the survivor of an illicit, top secret CIA mind control experiment. Marlowe has begun to remake his life when Jai Jai Leland, the beautiful widow of a man who didn't survive, asks him to help her solve the mystery of her husband's shocking murder. Marlowe, struggling to resist his attraction to Jai Jai, is pulled into her dangerous quest. Together they search for rogue psychiatrist, Dr. Victor Ressid, creator of the diabolical experiments that ravaged Marlowe’s mind and turned ordinary, decent people into terrorists. Meanwhile, stripped of his medical credentials and in thrall to perverse erotic desires, Ressid is consumed by fantasies of revenge against Marlowe, the only subject to defy him. Against an ominous background of escalating global terrorism, Marlowe and Jai Jai must risk their lives to stop a nuclear threat even as they wonder if Marlowe, too, has been turned into a suicide bomber. International in scope, Brainwashed takes place on the beautiful islands of the Caribbean, in Washington, DC, and in an underground torture chamber located on Victor Ressid's secluded private estate located near the Mexico-Belize border. “Powerful! Brilliant! Slick and sexy! Written by pros who know how to tell a story.” —Publisher's Weekly Brainwashed is based on real-life psychiatric experiments known by the code name MK-ULTRA and conducted by the CIA in the 1950's and 1960's. MKUltra involved the use of various methodologies to manipulate mental states and alter brain function, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (including LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture. Although the CIA insists that MKUltra-type experiments have been abandoned, some CIA observers say there is little reason to believe it does not continue today under a different set of acronyms. (This information is quoted from Wikipedia.) Prosopagnosia: As a consequence of volunteering to take part in the MK-ULTRA experiments, Zeb Marlowe suffers from a neurological disorder that causes face blindness called prosopagnosia. Prosopagnosia is a cognitive disorder in which the ability to recognize faces is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing (e.g., object discrimination) and intellectual functioning (e.g., decision making) remain intact. According to the Prosopagnosia Research Center at Harvard and University College London, "Prosopagnosics often have difficulty recognizing family members, close friends, and even themselves. They often use alternative routes to recognition, but these routes are not as effective as recognition via the face." Oliver Sacks, a professor of neurology at the N.Y.U. School of Medicine and the author of "Awakenings," writes about the current science and his own experiences and strategies in living with prosopagnosia at newyorker.com/magazine/2010/08/30/face-blind?intcid=mod-most-popular Leslie Stahl reported on prosopagnosia on 60 Minutes. cbsnews.com/news/face-blindness-when-everyone-is-a-stranger-20-03-2012/ Prosopagnosia is also referred to as "face blindness." You will find more information about this condition at faceblind.org at faceblind.org/research/index.html “Thrills, gut-churning suspense, nightmarish terror. I dare you to put it down.” —Bob Mayer, bestselling author Also by NYT bestselling authors Ruth and Michael Harris: HOOKED.

“POWERFUL! BRILLIANT! SEXY! Written by a pro who knows how to tell a story.” —Publisher's Weekly New 2022 edition. Expanded. Revised. Updated. When Dr. Gavin Ryder defies the medical establishment to create a revolutionary new treatment, he accepts a daunting challenge from a power-mad billionaire, and turns a depraved Royal Prince into a political powerhouse. Success brings Gavin the blessings of fame and fortune, and access to the closely-guarded secrets of high government officials — until he finds himself trapped in a web of interlocking conspiracies that extend from the White House to the savage docks of Izmir. Forced to risk everything to save his own life, Gavin must trust the beautiful, rich and powerful woman he loved — and betrayed — even as he attracts the attention of an elite CIA kill team.

New! Revised Author's Edition. “The songs we sang, the clothes we wore, the way we made love. Absolutely perfect!” —Publisher’s Weekly Spanning the years from the optimistic post-War 1940s to the Mad Men 1950s and rebellious “Make Love, Not War” 1960s, DECADES is about three generations of women and the dynamic but flawed man they all loved. Evelyn, talented but insecure, faithful to the traditional values she grew up with, is a loyal and loving wife whose marriage means everything to her. Nick, handsome and ambitious, a chameleon who changes with the changing times, is her successful but restless husband. Joy, their daughter, coming of age at a time of anger and rebellion, needs them both but is torn between them. Barbara is the other woman. Younger than Evelyn, accomplished but alone, she wonders if she can have everything--including another woman's husband. But can she? Is she willing to pay the price? And how will Evelyn handle her rebellious daughter, her straying husband and the threat to her marriage? Sweeping in scope yet intimate in detail, DECADES is the emotional, compelling story of family and marriage, betrayal and healing. DECADES REVIEWS: “A brilliant book. Three generations of women are succinctly capsuled in this novel by a writer who has all the intellect of Mary McCarthy, all the insight of Joan Didion. Rarely have attitudes been so probingly examined—tough, trenchant, chic and ultra-sophisticated, Ms. Harris recreates the decades in which her heroines lived, from zoot suits and Sammy Kaye, through Eisenhower, Elvis and poodle-cut hairdos to moon walks, Mick Jagger and micro-minis. Readers will be entertained and few will be able to forget what Decades has to say about men and women and the games people play.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram “A terrific novel about a singular single girl.” —Cosmopolitan “Ruth Harris has re-created both the style and substance of three decades of American life—from the bobby socks and innocence of the Forties, to the crinolines and caution of the Fifties, to the bra-less T-shirts and alienation of the Sixties.” —Book-of-the-Month Club “Powerful. A gripping novel that depicts the lives and loves of three generations of women.” —Women Today Book Club “I read Decades straight through at one sitting and the more I think about that, the more impressive the novel seems.” —Houston Post DECADES, Book #3 in the Park Avenue Series, was originally published in hard cover by Simon & Schuster.

★★★★★“WOW! WHAT A STORY!”★★★★★ “A master storyteller coaxed me through a maze of fascinating, brilliant, tragic, and heartwarming twists and turns, and left me feeling uplifted and satisfied. ZURI slides to the top of my favorite books of 2020!” —Sue Coletta, award-winning, bestselling author They rescue endangered animals, but can they rescue each other? Renny Kudrow, Director of the Kihali animal orphanage in Kenya, is a brilliant elephant whisperer who understands animal communication. But human communication? Not so much, thinks Starlite Higgins, the orphanage's talented wildlife vet he has hired over the objection of others who think a woman is not up to the job. Renny is prickly, remote, critical, and Starlite, anxious to please and accustomed to success, is unable to win his approval. When Renny and Starlite must work together to save the life a baby rhino fatally wounded by poachers, they must face the secrets they both hide--and the attraction they can no longer deny.

Book Description
New York magazine was born in 1968 after a run as an insert of the New York Herald Tribune and quickly made a place for itself as the trusted resource for readers across the country. With award-winning writing and photography covering everything from politics and food to theater and fashion, the magazine's consistent mission has been to reflect back to its audience the energy and excitement of the city itself, while celebrating New York as both a place and an idea.
