Some Secrets Aren't Meant to Be Shared
From author Meg Mitchell Moore comes a warm, witty and suspenseful novel filled with small-town secrets, summer romance, big time lies and spiked seltzer. In "Two Truths and A Lie" the leader of an idyllic beach town "mom squad" has made surprising effort to include a new resident and her daughter in typically closed-group activities, though they're not the only ones she's been spending more time with. A blend of propulsive thriller and gorgeous summer read, Moore's latest novel is a reminder that happiness isn't always a day at the beach, some secrets aren't meant to be shared and the most precious things are loved ones.

Romantic Adventure Proves Anything Can Happen
No. 1 "New York Times" bestseller Susan Elizabeth Phillips returns to her Chicago Stars series with a romance between a quarterback and one of the world's greatest opera singers – and a major diva – in "When Stars Collide." It's Mozart meets Monday night football as the temperamental soprano and stubborn jock embark on a nationwide tour promoting a luxury watch brand, they engage in soul-searching, trash talk and backstage drama. Threatening letters, haunting photographs and a series of dangerous encounters also complicate their lives and make them wonder if it's the work of an overzealous fan or something more sinister.

Transatlantic Love Story Raises the Royal Stakes

When they finally make it, they realize there's more at stake than just cash and crown, and the princess must learn what it means to fight for what she desires rather than what she feels bound to by duty.
