A mother and her daughter relocate across the country to escape a dangerous stalker, only to realize that distance alone won't ensure their safety. For actress Meribel Mills, unsettling fan mail is part of her fame, and she initially dismisses the creepy letters written in fruit-scented marker. However, things take a sinister turn when she discovers that someone has invaded her home—her sheets smell of an unfamiliar cologne, and items have gone missing. The letters escalate, featuring disturbing drawings of her in peril. Despite police assurances that stalkers rarely become violent, Meribel knows the risks all too well, having portrayed victims on screen too many times. Seeking a fresh start, she and her daughter move from Los Angeles to Atlanta, but the sense of being watched persists. Years in the spotlight have sharpened her instincts, and she feels an unsettling presence. Could the stalker have followed her? As she grapples with suspicion towards those around her—her ex-husband, a former lover, and her new neighbor—Meribel realizes that every man in her life could be a potential threat. As tensions rise and danger looms, she must confront her fears and fight to protect her daughter from an unseen monster.

In this gripping tale of domestic suspense, a mother faces the ultimate test of her love and resolve when her child is threatened. Bree Cabbat, having grown up in poverty in rural Georgia, has built a life of privilege after marrying into a wealthy family. However, her idyllic existence is shattered when she catches a glimpse of an unsettling figure—a mysterious old woman dressed in black—peering into her home. Initially dismissing it as a trick of the light, Bree's unease deepens when she encounters the woman again at her daughters' private school, just moments before her infant son disappears from his car seat. In his place, Bree finds a chilling note warning her not to involve the police and to follow forthcoming instructions if she wants her baby back. As the mysterious woman reaches out, Bree learns that she, too, is a mother, raising questions about her motives and the reasons for targeting Bree. Desperate to save her child, Bree is willing to pay any price, but the task she must complete seems deceptively simple yet carries devastating consequences. As she navigates this harrowing ordeal, Bree must confront the lengths she is willing to go to protect her family, even if it risks unraveling the very life she cherishes.

Z empatią, wdziękiem, humorem i przenikliwością autorka Bogów Alabamy prezentuje przejmującą, przepełnioną emocjami powieść o amerykańskim Południu, w której konfrontuje się z prawdą o przywilejach, rodzinie i różnicą pomiędzy naszymi wyobrażeniami a rzeczywistością, jeśli chodzi o nasze pochodzenie i to, kim naprawdę jesteśmy. Superbohaterowie od zawsze byli słabością Lei Birch Briggs. Pewnego zakrapianego tequilą wieczoru podczas zlotu fanów komiksów ta rozsądna zazwyczaj rysowniczka daje się uwieść przystojnemu i anonimowemu Batmanowi. Okazuje się, że ten odziany w pelerynę obrońca ludzkości zostawił po sobie coś więcej niż miłe, niewyraźne wspomnienie. Leia spodziewa się dziecka – co dla trzydziestoośmiolatki jest zaskoczeniem, ale wcale nie nieprzyjemnym. Nim jednak wiadomość o czekającym ją samotnym macierzyństwie (oraz tym, że jej dziecko jest dwurasowe) przekaże swojej konwencjonalnej rodzinie z Południa, sypie się małżeństwo przyrodniej siostry, Rachel. Co gorsza, okazuje się, że ukochana, dziewięćdziesięcioletnia babcia, Birchie, traci rozum, ukrywając demencję z pomocą Wattie, najlepszej przyjaciółki od czasów dzieciństwa.

Someone Else's Love Story is beloved and highly acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Joshilyn Jackson's funny, charming, and poignant novel about science and miracles, secrets and truths, faith and forgiveness; about falling in love, and learning that things aren't always what they seem—or what we hope they will be. Shandi Pierce is juggling finishing college, raising her delightful three-year-old genius son Nathan, aka Natty Bumppo, and keeping the peace between her eternally warring, long-divorced parents. She's got enough complications without getting caught in the middle of a stick-up and falling in love with William Ashe, who willingly steps between the robber and her son. Shandi doesn't know that her blond god Thor has his own complications. When he looked down the barrel of that gun he believed it was destiny: It's been one year to the day since a tragic act of physics shattered his world. But William doesn't define destiny the way others do. A brilliant geneticist who believes in facts and numbers, destiny to him is about choice. Now, he and Shandi are about to meet their so-called destinies head on, making choices that will reveal unexpected truths about love, life, and the world they think they know.
