delivers her second blockbuster novel of 2015, a story of one woman
struggling to right the wrongs of her past, with even more complications
in the present.
June, 1998: At twenty
seven, Catherine Coombs, also known as Cat, is struggling. She lives in
London, works as a journalist, and parties hard. Her lunchtimes consist
of several glasses of wine at the bar downstairs in the office, her
evenings much the same, swigging the free booze and eating the free food
at a different launch or party every night. When she discovers the
identity of the father she never knew she had, it sends her into a
spiral. She makes mistakes that cost her the budding friendship of the
only women who have ever welcomed her. And nothing is ever the same
after that.
June, 2014: Cat has finally come to
the end of herself. She no longer drinks. She wants to make amends to
those she has hurt. Her quest takes her to Nantucket, to the gorgeous
summer community where the women she once called family still live.
Despite her sins, will they welcome her again? What Cat doesn’t realize
is that these women, her real father’s daughters, have secrets of their
own. As the past collides with the present, Cat must confront the
darkest things in her own life and uncover the depths of someone’s need
for revenge.

spellbinding saga of the Montgomery-Taggerts, set on an island steeped
in beauty and unforgettable romance.
Life is anything but
perfect for Hallie Hartley, a young physical therapist who has given up
nearly everything—even her love life—for her beautiful blonde
stepsister, Shelly. Though Shelly’s acting career has never taken off,
she has certainly perfected the crocodile tears to get what she
wants—which all too often means Hallie’s boyfriends. When Hallie arrives
home early from work one fateful day, she makes two startling
discoveries that will turn her life upside down: Not only has a
mysterious relative left Hallie a house on Nantucket, but Shelly has
been trying to steal it. Desperate to put her troubles behind her,
Hallie impulsively flies to Nantucket.
New trouble, however,
has already settled into Hallie’s guest room in the form of her newest
client. Hallie is told that wealthy, young James Taggert has injured his
leg in a skiing accident. Assuming that the devastatingly handsome man
has led a charmed life, Hallie is surprised by Jamie at every turn
throughout his recovery. His attentions draw her out of her shell—but he
has a dark secret, and is tormented by nightmares that only her
presence can keep at bay. She suspects there’s more to his injury than
he’s letting on.
On this gorgeous island rich in history,
magic is everywhere, even in Hallie’s own backyard. As Jamie’s relatives
arrive for a wedding gala, something wonderfully unusual is in the air.
There’s an aura of romance—enhanced by a pair of matchmaking ghosts and
a colorful island legend. In their own little corner of the world,
Jamie and Hallie unravel the timeless secrets of their own hearts, and a
very special story of True Love destined to last forever after.
author Jane Feather returns to the Regency with a passionate tale that
sweeps the reader from the dangerous streets of Paris to the glittering
ballrooms of London.
Lady Hero Fanshawe has chafed at society’s
dictates since the death of her fiancé taught her that joy can be
fleeting. When her brother disappears in Paris at the height of the
Terror, she has no hesitation in disguising herself as a boy and risking
her life to find him—or in joining forces with a chance-met ally, the
enigmatic William Ducasse, Viscount St. Aubrey. And no regrets in
indulging in a passionate affair with the dangerously handsome stranger
in the shadow of the guillotine…
Half French, half English,
William is committed to his shadow life, flirting with death to rescue
imperiled aristocrats, and marriage is an indulgence he cannot afford.
Once Hero returns to London, he refuses to risk her good name by
continuing their liaison. But he has reckoned without the determined
Hero’s disregard for propriety…or the dictates of his own treacherous
heart.
Murdered
and mummified more than ninety years ago, bootlegger Collier “Peg Leg”
Dazzle once found and re-hid a famous pirate’s treasure somewhere along
the coast of New England. A vast collection of gold and silver coins and
precious gems, the bounty also contains the Stone of Avarice — the very
item reluctant treasure seeker, Lizzy Tucker, and her partner, Diesel,
have been enlisted to find. While Lizzy would just like to live a quiet,
semi-normal life, Diesel is all about the hunt. And this hunt is going
to require a genuine treasure map and a ship worthy of sailing the seven
seas . . . or at least getting them from Salem Harbor to Maine.
Greed
is eternal and insatiable, and Lizzy and Diesel aren’t the only ones
searching for the lost pirate’s chest. There are people who have
dedicated their entire lives to finding it, and are willing to commit
murder or make a deal with the devil, just to hold the fortune in their
hands. One of those people may even be Wulf, Diesel’s deceptively
charming and enigmatic cousin. Wulf desires the Stone of Avarice. He
also desires Lizzy. It’s hard to say how far he’s willing to go to gain
either one.
It’s a swashbuckling adventure full of raiders,
monkeys, minions, and mayhem. Lizzy and Diesel are going to have to do
everything they can to keep their heads above water and hope they are
living a charmed life.
