A Novel

From the acclaimed author of Waiting to Surface comes a page-turning novel about four college friends whose reunion reawakens old desires and grudges--with fatal results.

What happens when you think you know the person you love--and you're dead wrong?

Thirty-nine-year-old Lisa Barkley looks over at her sleeping husband, Sam, and can't help but feel that their fifteen-year marriage is in a funk that she isn't able to place. She tells herself that the strain must be due to their mounting financial pressures. With two daughters about to start another year at an elite Upper East Side private school and her own career hitting a wall, the effort of trying to stay afloat in their privileged world is increasingly difficult. But when she listens to Sam's voicemail and hears a whispered phone call from a woman he is to meet that night, she begins to suspect he is having an affair.

Lisa's best friend, Deirdre, claims it can't be true. But how can Lisa fully trust her opinion when Deirdre is mired in her own obsessive affair? When Deirdre's former college flame, Jack, comes to town and the two couples meet to celebrate his fortieth birthday, the stage is set for an explosive series of discoveries with devastating results.

Filled with suspense and provocative questions about the relationships we value most, Best Intentions is a tightly woven drama of love, friendship and betrayal.

Stronger Than Steel

A brave tractor farms for freedom in a story inspired by women who acted with courage and strength in American factories and on British farms during World War II.

This is our Rosie,

stronger than steel.

She'll plow all the land

with a turn of her wheel.

Built by women in the United States and sent to England to dig and plow alongside female farmers during World War II, Rosie the tractor does whatever is needed to support the war effort. She works day and night to help grow crops for the troops...even when she has to hide in the fields. This is because she knows, like the women who built her and the women who farm with her, that they all must do their part.

Inspired by the group of American women collectively known as "Rosie the Riveter" and the British Women's Land Army, this is a story about taking action and coming together for the greater good.

The Penhallow Dynasty





"Attention, Bridgerton fans: if you're ready to delve deeper into the world of historical romances, The Worst Duke in the World by Lisa Berne is a fun place to start." --Pop Sugar

A wayward duke must choose: will he be the bad hero in a love story gone awry, or the brave and clever hero who risks everything for true love  The acclaimed Penhallow Dynasty series continues in this fresh, fun, funny tale!

Life's no bowl of cherries for Anthony Farr, the Duke of Radcliffe. Duty demands he remarry to provide a spare to go along with the heir -- and eligible ladies keep trying to finagle him into a proposal. All he wants is to be a good father to his 8-year-old son, see the Duchess (his truly terrific pig) win first prize at the harvest fête, and stay single. Even if that makes him a Bad Duke. Maybe the Worst Duke in the World.  

Then Miss Jane Kent, a long-lost relation of the illustrious Penhallow family, arrives in the neighborhood and is promptly befriended by the Duke's son. Jane, Anthony comes to realize, is smart and fun and also very kissable and dazzlingly desirable. Still, that's not enough to melt his resistance to marrying again. He made a stern promise to himself and promises must, of course, be kept.  

But what if that's just his head talking, and his heart . . . is saying something entirely different

"Delicious." --Sarah MacLean, The Washington Post, on You May Kiss the Bride

"...It's champagne in book form -- bubbly, fun, and intoxicating far more quickly than one might anticipate." --Entertainment Weekly

THERE'S COYOTES IN THEM THERE HILLS.
Ex-Rebel tracker Hunter Buchanan is down on his luck. He lost his family's ranch in a fire. He lost his gold to a thief. And he just might lose his fiancee--a beautiful saloon girl named Annabelle--to a stinking-rich rival. But Hunter's not ready to give up just yet. He's got a temporary sheriff's badge, a long-range plan to rebuild his ranch, and his loyal coyote Bobby Lee by his side to make things right. Too bad it all goes wrong--when Annabelle gets kidnapped . . .

The mayhem begins with a stagecoach robbery in the Black Hills town of Tigerville. It won't end until Sheriff Hunter Buchanan gets back his girl and his gold--on a long, dusty trail of bloodsoaked vengeance . . .

An Intimate Life

Dismantles the Woody Guthrie we have been taught--the rough and ready rambling man--to reveal an artist who discovered how intimacy is crucial for political struggle.

Woody Guthrie is often mythologized as the quintessential American "ramblin' man," a real life Steinbeckian folk hero, who fought for working class interests and mentored Bob Dylan. Biographers and fans frame him as a foe of fascism and focus on his politically charged folk songs. What's less examined is how the bulk of his work--most of which is unpublished or little-known--explores the role of illness and intimacy in leftist political thinking.

American studies scholar Gustavus Stadler revives Guthrie's story as a dramatic portrait understood more fully through the lens of disability and close relationships, as he faced setbacks including his daughter's death, an obscenity arrest, therapy in a sex deviance clinic, and repeated stays in mental wards. Guthrie believed art was an instrument for breaking down the boundaries between people, boundaries that make them vulnerable to fascism's call. When paired with unionism, art is thus a powerful weapon against loneliness and isolation, the customary emotional states of capitalist cultures. Fresh and timely, Stadler shows how Guthrie can serve as a model for modern leftists grappling with the dehumanizing mechanisms of capitalism and fascism today.

When Rachel Mast returned to Stone Mill, Pennsylvania, she unwittingly became a bridge between the closed Amish community and the Englisher police. Now, as she prepares for her wedding, she's drawn into an investigation that could end in a different ceremony--her funeral . . .
 
Rachel didn't know Daniel Fisher well, but it still comes as a shock when her fiancé, a state trooper, tells her that the young Amish man's death may not have been a hunting accident. The police believe he was murdered and they need Rachel's help telling the family. But when she does, they don't seem upset or even surprised. Even more unsettling, Daniel's brother-in-law confesses--while his mother begs Rachel to prove his innocence. But why would he give a false confession? Who is he trying to protect?
 
As Rachel's search for answers overshadows her wedding plans, rumors swirl that she might not show up at the altar--and that Daniel wasn't as upstanding as he seemed. While the list of people who wanted him dead grows, Rachel is caught in the killer's crosshairs, and if she's not careful, it may be more than her feet that turn cold . . .
 
 
Praise for the Amish Mystery series
 
"An excellent addition to the Amish mystery subgenre."--Library Journal
 
 "An exciting tale of mystery, love, and danger."--Booklist
 
"A well-informed look into the tranquil world of the Amish with a fairly edgy puzzler."
--Kirkus Reviews
