The fourth full novel in the New York Times, USA TODAY, and #1 international bestselling author Christina Lauren’s Beautiful series, which began with Beautiful Bastard.

C'è ancora una cosa che la rende diversa dagli altri. La sua pelle alla luce del sole diventa traslucida. Quando osserva oggetti come pietre o matite ne subisce il fascino, ma a prenderli in mano diventano insignificanti. Ha una consistenza che le permette di indossare dei vestiti, ma pesano quasi più di lei e continua ad averne percezione: le sfregano rigidi ogni parte del corpo. Ha la testa piena di domande e svuotata di ricordi. E come se l'avessero mollata giù e lei stesse aspettando, ancora sospesa, che la sua caduta faccia rumore. L'incertezza si insinua in lei e le toglie il respiro, e sente serrarsi il cuore in preda al panico. In questi momenti, lascia fuori tutto tranne la sua parvenza di tranquillità. Eccola qui, un fantasma nei panni di una ragazza, che infesta una scuola privata; ma lei non vuole infestare proprio niente. Desidera essere tangibile e solida. Avere il suo letto nel dormitorio, mangiare alla mensa e flirtare. Con lui. Più di tutto desidera stargli accanto.

Dopo aver esplorato tutti i sentieri del piacere, Chloe Mills e Bennett Ryan stanno per coronare la loro storia d'amore con un matrimonio da favola a San Diego, ma le note della marcia nuziale rischiano di suonare un po' stonate... Stressata ed esasperata dalle incombenze dell'ultimo minuto, Chloe è sul punto di dire "sì"... alla fuga. Dal canto suo, Bennett, preoccupato che il desiderio per Chloe possa distrarlo eccessivamente, ha deciso di starle lontano fino alla prima notte di nozze. Se si aggiungono una schiera di parenti bizzarri tra cui barcamenarsi e inconvenienti a non finire, la crisi di nervi sembra essere dietro l'angolo. Per fortuna ci sono gli amici a tenere alto il morale, e la scelta di Bennett di rinunciare al sesso fino al matrimonio si rivela fortunata, perché la coppia riuscirà ad assaporare senza troppe distrazioni le piccole gioie quotidiane dello stare insieme. Così, tra festeggiamenti e prove generali, peripezie e scene al limite della comicità, Chloe e Bennett si ritroveranno all'altare ancor prima di accorgersene...

La storia di Sara Dillon e Max Stella, protagonisti di "Beautiful Stranger", prosegue a gonfie vele. Dopo aver coronato il loro amore con un matrimonio indimenticabile, sono diventati genitori di una bellissima bambina, Annabel, e ora, alle prese con un bebé di pochi mesi, stentano a ricordare com'era la loro vita prima di diventare genitori. Abituati a uno stile di vita esibizionista e senza freni, devono ora fare i conti con la nuova quotidianità e allo stesso tempo con il desiderio, sempre più forte, di tornare a essere quelli di una volta. Pagina dopo pagina sarete catturate dai loro tentativi, teneri e insieme eccitanti, di trovare un equilibrio tra le nuove responsabilità che l'essere genitori comporta e le avventure emozionanti e sensuali a cui ci hanno abituato e di cui non sanno fare a meno. Attorno a loro il solito gruppo di amici che non invecchia mai, anzi, con il tempo migliora, e non ci risparmia ironia e divertimento.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful Stranger, and Beautiful Player, Book Two of the brand-new Wild Seasons series that started with Sweet Filthy Boy—a story of friends, love, and lust.

Despite their rowdy hookups, Harlow and Finn don’t even like each other...which would explain why their marriage lasted only twelve hours. He needs to be in charge and takes whatever he wants. She lives by the Want-something-done? Do-it-yourself mantra. Maybe she’s too similar to the rugged fisherman—or just what he needs.

True love may mean certain death in a ghostly affair of risk and passion from New York Times bestselling duo Christina Lauren, authors of Beautiful Bastard. Tahereh Mafi, New York Times bestselling author of Shatter Me calls Sublime “a beautiful, haunting read.

When Lucy walks out of a frozen forest, wearing only a silk dress and sandals, she isn’t sure how she got there. But when she sees Colin, she knows for sure that she’s here for him.

Colin has never been captivated by a girl the way he is by Lucy. With each passing day their lives intertwine, and even as Lucy begins to remember more of her life—and her death—neither of them is willing to give up what they have, no matter how impossible it is. And when Colin finds a way to physically be with Lucy, taking himself to the brink of death where his reality and Lucy’s overlap, the joy of being together for those brief stolen moments drowns out everything in the outside world. But some lines weren’t meant to be crossed…

The New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Bastard, Beautiful Stranger, and Beautiful Player starts a brand new story of friends, love, and lust with Book One of the Wild Seasons series.

One-night stands are supposed to be with someone convenient, or wickedly persuasive, or regrettable. They aren’t supposed to be with someone like him.

But after a crazy Vegas weekend celebrating her college graduation—and terrified of the future path she knows is a cop-out—Mia Holland makes the wildest decision of her life: follow Ansel Guillaume—her sweet, filthy fling—to France for the summer and just…play.

When feelings begin to develop behind the provocative roles they take on, and their temporary masquerade adventures begin to feel real, Mia will have to decide if she belongs in the life she left because it was all wrong, or in the strange new one that seems worlds away.

La vita di Bennett Ryan non è facile: ha trovato la donna giusta, l'unica in grado di tenergli testa, ma non riesce a stare insieme a lei quanto vorrebbe... Lei è Chloe Mills, la sua ex stagista, ora un'affascinante giovane donna in carriera, che continua a farlo impazzire di desiderio ogni volta che si incrociano negli uffici della Ryan Media Group. Proprio quando il lavoro di Chloe arriva a una svolta importante e sta per decollare, Bennett desidera che tutto rallenti un po' per poter finalmente passare una notte selvaggia con la sua fidanzata. Metterà Chloe di fronte a due biglietti aerei, destinazione una meravigliosa villa in Provenza, deciso a non accettare un no come risposta e a rimandare ogni discussione a una lotta sotto le coperte...

Bennett è ormai un promesso sposo, e anche se il matrimonio è lontano, Max e gli altri suoi amici vogliono già iniziare i festeggiamenti di addio al celibato, rubandolo alla fidanzata e trascinandolo in un week-end di delirio e follia a Las Vegas. Peccato che le cose non vadano esattamente come pianificato, dato che Max e Bennett, piuttosto che lasciarsi andare a strip e perdizione, fanno di tutto per incontrare clandestinamente le loro ragazze! Ma non hanno fatto i conti con Will Sumner, lo scapolo più convinto e scapestrato che ci sia...

The Beautiful Bastard series continues in this new novella—back when not being able to stand each other also meant not being able to keep their hands of each other, neither Bennett nor Chloe could have seen this day coming.

An exasperated bride who just wants to elope. A determined groom whose only focus is getting to the wedding night. And—of course—a whole lot of name calling.

In the third book in the Beautiful Bastard series, an agreement between a venture capitalist and a bookish woman quickly becomes a very NSFW version of My Fair Lady.

When Hanna “Ziggy” Bergstrom moves to New York City for graduate school, Will Sumner thinks his responsibilities to his best friend’s nerdy little sister will be limited to the occasional dinner and check-in. Little does he know that Ziggy is ready to break out of her bookworm academic shell and move more into bombshell territory. Of course she figures the gorgeous womanizing venture capitalist Will is the best person to help mentor her in this new field of study: dating.

Will takes on the challenge with more than a healthy dose of skepticism and humor, but soon finds that Ziggy just needed a tiny push, not a world of change, to reveal a woman every man seems to notice. Soon “Ziggy” is gone and the unfiltered, innocently seductive Hanna Bergstrom is hijacking his dreams, his moods, and even his orderly no-strings-attached dating life—beginning the night his mentoring activities move between the sheets.

A beautiful bastard of a groom-to-be. A bachelor-party-crashing bride. And one unforgettable night on the Vegas strip.

When Bennett’s friends steal him away from Chloe for a weekend of shenanigans and strippers in Vegas, their first stop doesn’t exactly go as planned. Their scheme for a guys’ weekend completely derailed, Bennett and Max take every chance they get to rendezvous secretly with the women they love. But when the persistently single Will Sumner catches on, the pair realizes they need to team up with him instead of butting heads if they’re to escape for more sexy Vegas hookups.

Beautiful Bastard’s Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan are back for one last blazing prewedding hurrah- but if what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, they might not ever want to leave!

A COMBATIVE RELATIONSHIP. A RED-HOT ATTRACTION. AND NO TIME TO BE ALONE TOGETHER.

Just when Chloe’s career starts to take off, Bennett wishes it would all slow down long enough to spend a wild night alone with his intern-cum-girlfriend. Preferably one in which he can show her he’s still the boss.

After her continued refusals to take time off with him, Bennett can finally no longer take no for an answer. And so the couple find themselves with two plane tickets, one French villa, and a surprising conversation that, predictably, leaves them wrestling under the covers.

Picking up where Beautiful Bastard left off, Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan continue their fiery love-hate relationship . . . and take it to the next level.

Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon’s moved to New York City and is looking for excitement and passion without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night’s fun. But the manner—and speed—with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger.

The whole city knows that Max Stella loves women, not that he’s ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, it’s not until Sara—and the wild photos she lets him take of her—that he starts wondering if there’s someone for him outside of the bedroom.

Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.

Told in alternating perspectives by a varied and vocal cast of characters, Nussbaum pulls back the curtain to reveal the complicated and funny and tough life inside the walls of an institution for juveniles with disabilities. From Yessenia Lopez, who dreams of her next boyfriend and of one day of living outside those walls, to Teddy, a resident who dresses up daily in a full suit and tie, to Mia, who guards a terrifying secret, Nussbaum has crafted a multifaceted portrait of a way of life hidden from most of us. In this isolated human warehouse on Chicago’s South Side, friendships are forged, trust is built, and love affairs begin. And it’s in their alliances that the residents ultimately find the strength to bond together and finally fight back against their mistreatment.

Told with humor and authenticity in voices that stay with you long past the last page, Good Kings, Bad Kings is at once strikingly original, baldly funny, and profoundly moving.
