Josephine Daudry: the first book in this trilogy followed her story as she journeyed to find herself through traumas and everyday adventures. It ended with Josy and her friend Greg driving off into the sunrise. Sometimes Love Lands Sideways is the next chapter in this story, and picks up where the first left off. This book continues following the journey Josy and Greg take into their relationship and into their new life together. As with the first part of Josy’s story, there are still family secrets to be revealed and traumas to unfold, but through it all there is the constant of love and understanding that gets these two through it all. The author uses everyday life themes and weaves them into a second engaging story.

She knows what she wants from her life, her music, and herself. Until Venice… and him. Megan knows better than to make decisions based on passion, but even she can’t resist a summer performance internship nestled in the romantic waterways of Venice. The handsome but aggravating tenor she accidentally knocked into the canal should be easier to resist. Should be easier. And yet, both this city and this man spark something deep inside her, tempting her to open her heart… to dream. Lorenzo is a singer who lives for his dreams, even if sometimes that means doing odd jobs to pay the bills. He has no patience for anyone who doesn’t live with the same level of devotion to their art. So why can’t he ignore Megan, who keeps her desires so carefully under guard that he can’t help trying to drag them out? And how can her stifled heart feel the soul of Venice the way his own does -- the way he thought only a native Venetian ever could? She swore she’d never date a musician. He has no desire to date an American. When the person you’re stuck with is attractive, talented, and infuriating, something has to give… and in this case, it might be both their hearts.

It's all fun and games until someone loses a heart... The first three full-length books in the Love in the City series in one set! More Than Friends They promise each other they won’t let it get weird. But they do. And it does… Nomi Hannon is sick of losing. First, she failed to get her brother off on fraud charges. Then, she lost the practice they built together. She’s not about to lose the city council election. Too bad she just accidentally starred in a compromising photo that her squeaky-clean opponent is all too willing to use against her. Surely marrying the guy in the photo—her best friend, the only stable force in her life—will solve the problem…right? Malone DuMar’s luck hasn’t been any better than Nomi’s. He’s not looking for a wife, not after his ex-fiancée stole his company. But Nomi has always been the one person he could count on. There’s no way he’s going to turn his back on her when she needs him the most. It's a simple plan. Only pretend. That’s what they told themselves, anyway. But that was before they realized their friendship was on the line if their marriage of convenience went south. Before the kiss that changed everything… More Than A T.V. Husband On camera, they’re the perfect bride and groom Too bad she doesn’t know who he really is… When Lilith Parker’s business is threatened, it’s a no-brainer to gain extra publicity by appearing on a reality TV show that marries her to a complete stranger. Her fake groom, Dane McClarren, has undergone a total makeover which guarantees Lilith won’t recognize him as the nerd she rejected in high school—it’s the perfect revenge. But in an unforeseen plot twist, Lilith is a lot different than he remembers. When he falls for her, can he stop the scheme he’s put into motion before it’s too late? More Than Her Bodyguard She’s his best friend’s sister. Off-limits for so many reasons. So why did he agree to a fake engagement that will make it impossible to keep his feelings for her a secret? Shiloh Anderson is done with men who can’t spell “commitment.” She’d rather focus on opening her own business instead of wading back into the dating pool in hopes of meeting a unicorn of a man who won’t run the other way the moment things get serious. But that was before someone starts stalking her. Her brother plunks down a solution in the form of a fake engagement to his best friend, the one man he trusts to keep her safe. Suddenly she has a pretend fiancé who’s treating her like his cherished bride. It’s all an act. Right? Except someone needs to explain to her lonely, commitment-starved heart that none of this is real.

"Larry Brown wrote the way the best singers sing: with honesty, grit, and the kind of raw emotion that stabs you right in the heart. He was a singular American treasure." —Tim McGraw A career-spanning collection, Tiny Love brings together for the first time the stories of Larry Brown’s previous collections along with those never before gathered. The self-taught Brown has long had a cult following, and this collection comes with an intimate and heartfelt appreciation by novelist Jonathan Miles. We see Brown's early forays into genre fiction and the horror story, then develop his fictional gaze closer to home, on the people and landscapes of Lafayette County, Mississippi. And what’s astonishing here is the odyssey these stories chart: Brown’s self-education as a writer and the incredible artistic journey he navigated from “Plant Growin’ Problems” to “A Roadside Resurrection.” This is the whole of Larry Brown, the arc laid bare, both an amazing story collection and the fullest portrait we’ll see of one of the South’s most singular artists.
