What began as an innocuous advice column for Celeste Cleary has transformed into an all-consuming obsession, and her former existence as a scientist now feels like a distant memory. As she immerses herself in the troubles of others-at times solving their dilemmas with messages from beyond the grave-an ability that has invaded her life since the hit-and-run accident that nearly killed her months before, Celeste grapples with the news that the accident may have been attempted murder.

Harper Calhoun lives a pretty rarified life. She's the personal confidant of Hollywood's elite. But she does more than rub elbows with them. She helps them make big decisions, gives them advice when they need it, and coaches them on how to deal with the pressures of fame. She's even dating one of the biggest superstars. But when the spotlight turns on her, she's the one who can't deal with the pressure. The risk is too great that the truth about who she really is will be exposed.

A terrible hit and run accident took Celeste Cleary's life until doctors managed to bring her back. But now she's... different. Once a respected scientist, she walks the thin veil between the living and the dead. As she struggles to return to her former life, Celeste receives an email-a heart-wrenching letter from a stranger, a woman begging for help locating her seventeen-year-old sister, Katie, who vanished a year before.

With the media now her worst enemy, Harper Calhoun throws herself into the things she can control. Like getting closer to her sister and niece, and helping her handsome neighbor. She's also getting really good at pretending that her life completely imploding isn't bothering her. Too bad so much of what's happening is beyond her control. Like the changes that are on the horizon. Big, life-altering kinds of changes. Everything she thought she knew about her past could be a lie. But Harper's done keeping secrets. She wants honesty and truth from everyone around her.

Harper Calhoun doesn't need any more complications in her life. Then one shows up. A seriously major complication that also happens to be a link to her past. This isn't a surprise she needed or wanted, but she's going to have to deal with it. In fact, she wants to. That's what friends do. Following rules (even the ones she's set for herself) has been a big part of how she's gotten herself through life. Does she dare break the rules now? She might not have a choice.

Nara Velez wakes in a prison pod with no idea how she got there. She quickly learns that things have drastically changed during the time she can’t remember—and not just with her situation. The Mareritt—an ancient enemy—now control most of Arleeon and treat her people little better than slaves. Worse still, the Mareritt also control the drakkons. Nara has no choice but to work with Kaiden Silva, the warrior she’s been chained to and a man who distrusts her deeply.

In her gripping memoir, Ingrid takes listeners into her world as she grapples with the devastating news that an incurable blinding eye disease is eating away at her vision. Terrified that she will miss out on her daughters’ lives, become a burden to her husband, and lose the career and independence that defines her, Ingrid, a 37-year-old journalist and mother of two, embarks on a quest to save her sight.

She’s happy and settled and productive and content in her full life—a child, a career, an admirable marriage, deep friendships, happy parents, and a spouse she still loves. But when her husband urges her to address what the narrow labels of “husband” and “wife” force them to edit out of their lives, the very best kind of hell breaks loose. Using the author’s personal experiences as a jumping-off point, Crush is about the danger and liberation of chasing desire, the havoc it can wreak, and most of all the clear sense of self one finds when the storm passes.
