1815. Lady Grace Carpenter is ready to seize the day---or rather, the night--with the most compelling man she's ever known.

But if she can have one anonymous tryst with Mattheus, Earl of Worthington, Grace will be content to live out the rest of her life as a spinster. Matt had almost given up hope of finding a wife who could engage his mind as well as his body. And now this sensual, intelligent woman is offering herself to him. What could be more perfect? Except that after one wanton night, the mysterious Grace refuses to have anything to do with him. Amid the distractions of the Season he must convince her, one delicious encounter at a time, that no obstacle--or family--is too much for a man who's discovered his heart's desire. 6.

Some Day

Desire and tragedy upset the lives of an Israeli family in this “thrilling, fresh, and surprising” debut novel from the award-winning filmmaker (ForeWord Review). On the shores of Israel’s Sea of Galilee lies the city of Tiberias. In the years between the Six Day and Yom Kippur Wars, it is a place bursting with desire and longing for love. As young Shlomi develops a remarkable culinary talent, he also falls for Ella, the strange neighbor and deeply troubled new neighbor. Meanwhile, Shlomi’s little brother Hilik obsessively collects words in a notebook. In the wild, selfish but magical grown-up world that swirls around them, a mother with a poet’s soul mourns the deaths of literary giants while her handsome husband cheats on her both at home and abroad. In filmmaker Shemi Zarhin’s dazzling debut novel, hypnotic writing renders a painfully delicious vision of individual lives behind Israel’s larger national story. “Ardent, salty, whimsical, steamy, absurd . . . A wallop to the reader.” ―Ploughshares “Masterful . . . haunting . . . sublime . . . Zarhin’s characters are so real they fairly jump off the page.” ―The Jerusalem Post
