Book Description
A beloved romance that offers a distinctive—and distinctly entertaining—take on Valentine’s Day. The Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre was supposed to be the end for Al Capone’s rivals. Instead, it turned out to be a second chance. For James Sheridan Rafferty, it’s turning out to be an eternity of second chances, one year after another. Assistant prosecutor Helen Emerson is plagued by a bad dream she can never quite remember, a nightmare that seems to be part of someone else’s life. Then a man who calls himself Rafferty comes knocking on her door… Just like he’s had every Valentine’s Day since 1929, Rafferty has fortyeight hours in which to fall in love and redeem himself. This former gangster thinks that Helen might just be the gal for him, but he has to find out who’s trying to kill her if either one of them is going to have any kind of chance at all.

Book Description
A finalist for the prestigious Carnegie Medal, this novel is a stunning tribute to fathers and daughters, and to the unique power of art to connect and change us. Sixteen-year-old Iris itches constantly for the strike of a match. But when she’s caught setting one too many fires, she’s dragged away to London before she can get arrested. At least, that’s the story her mother tells. Soon Iris finds herself in the English countryside, where her millionaire father—a man she’s never met—lives. Though not for very much longer. Iris’s father is dying, and her self-interested mother is determined to claim his life’s fortune, including his priceless art collection. Forced to live with him as part of an exploitive scheme, Iris quickly realizes her father is far different from the man she’s been schooled to hate, and everything she thought she knew—about her father and herself—is suddenly unclear. But there may be hidden beauty in Iris’s uncertain past and hopeful future, if only she can see beyond the flames. Praise for Fire Color One: "It’s not often—in fact, it has never happened to me even once—that I fall so hard for a young arsonist. The book moves swiftly, alternating between comedy and sadness, sometimes in the same paragraph. I loved Fire Color One." —Daniel Wallace, critically acclaimed and bestselling author of Big Fish * "Valentine writes about family dysfunction, arson, and art with equal levels of beauty and lyricism, creating a vivid landscape of heartache and redemption....A story about an ugly situation that explodes into beauty through cunning and resilience." —Kirkus *STARRED* * "From the first page to the last, Valentine has crafted a masterpiece." —BCCB *STARRED* "[T]his is a poignant story about the power of art to connect and transform." —SLJ "Beautifully written...a quiet, reflective novel that blooms into a thrilling mystery." —Booklist "Fire Color One is a stunning journey of a teenage girl’s struggle to find her place in a world that tries its hardest to keep her out....For fans of stories in which the good guys prevail, this book is perfect." —VOYA "Wise, brilliantly plotted." —The Sunday Times "Beautifully written...this latest creation is her most spectacular yet." —The Guardian Children's Books review “A beautifully written, darkly funny and surprisingly poignant story of art, family and discovering the people we thought we knew.” —Kerry Kletter, critically acclaimed author of The First Time She Drowned Praise for Me, the Missing, and the Dead: A Morris Award finalist Winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize (under title Finding Violet Park) * “Compulsively readable. A memorable new voice.” —Publishers Weekly *STARRED* * “Lucas’ pitch-perfect voice and authentic family relationships...and the poignant, coming-of-age mystery will stay with the reader long after the book ends. Valentine’s debut novel shines richly.” —Booklist *STARRED* * “Engaging from start to finish.” —School Library Journal *STARRED* “An impressive debut. Valentine offers a rich cast of characters and marvelous writing.” —Buffalo News “Charmingly told, this mystery manages to be both frothy and nourishing.” —Kirkus

Book Description
A Valentine’s Day wedding, a fake girlfriend and a bachelor auction—what could go wrong? After an unexpected—but heated—New Year’s kiss, Dr. Paul Thorpe has done his utmost to keep things from turning awkward with his colleague, nurse Aimee Baker. But when she asks him to participate in the bachelor auction at the hospital’s fundraising gala, he takes his chances and agrees on one condition: that Aimee accompany him to his brother’s Valentine’s Day wedding as his pretend girlfriend. What he doesn’t tell her is that his ex-fiancée will also be in attendance. Aimee agrees, knowing Paul’s participation in the auction will raise the money needed for a mobile health clinic. And as much as she’s looking forward to spending a weekend with Paul, she’s also certain it won’t go anywhere. Everyone knows that Paul doesn’t date, and after Aimee’s divorce, that’s fine with her…or so she tells herself. But as the weekend goes on, their fake relationship is beginning to feel all too real, despite the limit on their time together. Will this Valentine’s Day wedding date make it past the weekend?
