Contests
Summer is better with beach reads! Last year’s Life’s a Beach contest was such a hit, we’re doing it again with Malena Lott’s follow-up, THE LAST RESORT. Lott’s latest brings all of her main characters together at a mojo conference for women at a luxury resort in Maui. Mojo and fitness guru, Rachel Woods, takes the women through adventures on the magic island to discover their deepest desires and fears. Readers will catch up with Ramona (Dating da Vinci), Taylor (The Stork Reality), Macy (Fixer Upper), Georgia (Life’s a Beach) and get introduced to Kelly, who gets her own novel, Something New, in Fall 2012. Summer, sisterhood and sacred answers in paradise. You’re invited to find your mojo at THE LAST RESORT.

Now facing an arranged marriage to a suitor she dreads, she finds herself attracted to somebody else: a young Creole man named Gabriel Girod. Meanwhile, her grandparents harbor a family secret. Will the truth set everybody free—especially Charlotte?

Luckett weaves a fascinating portrait of women of color who defy family and tradition to follow love and chase success. . . . In the end, it’s the soulful, headstrong, romantic Ruby whose passion resonates in this story of discovery and acceptance.” (Publishers Weekly )
Laura Spinella’s BEAUTIFUL DISASTER
A story of love lost…and found.
“Beautiful Disaster is a beautifully crafted romance set against a southern backdrop. A powerful tale about the power of love. A wonderful read.”
—Wendy Wax, national bestselling author of The Accidental Bestseller
