FOOL ME ONCE
Fern Michaels
No one weaves a story like Fern Michaels. Now, the beloved New York Times bestselling
author presents a compelling and captivating novel in which a young woman sets out to
discover the truth about her mother’s shadowy past, and her relationship with her father,
and in the process finds unexpected love…
livia Lowell always believed her father’s claim that her mother died in childbirth, until the shocking day a lawyer informs her that
her mother has just passed away, leaving her a fortune. The money comes with a caveat—and a confession. In her will, Olivia’s
mother reveals that she and two college friends committed a crime years ago, and now she wants Olivia to track down her accomplices
and convince them to come clean.
O
Fulfilling her mother’s request won’t be easy—nor will mending the rift between Olivia and her father. But with a handsome young
lawyer’s help, Olivia will come to understand who her mother really was, and who she, herself, was meant to be…
“Fern Michaels’s characters are real and endearing, her prose so natural that it seems you are witnessing the story rather than
reading about it.”—Los Angeles Times
Fern Michaels is the author of more than seventy novels. She lives near Charleston, South Carolina surrounded by her children, her
grandchildren, her beloved dogs, and a resident ghost named Mary Margaret. She is a passionate animal rights activist and fund-raiser,
and runs two large day-care centers in her hometown.

DOGGY STYLE
Jane May
Fido plays cupid in this winning debut novel with a canine
twist, perfect for fans of Claire Cook’s Must Love Dogs and Mark
Barrowcliffe’s Lucky Dog.
iles is street smart, well groomed, and absolutely adorable to women, men, and the
occasional Yorkshire Terrier. That’s because Miles is eleven pounds of very cool,
very well-loved dog—or at least he was, until his adopted “pack,” Jen and Bob, broke up.
M
It’s all because of Chloe, the dachshund with attitude, and her owner, Valerie, the one
with her sights on Bob. If Miles could talk, he’d tell Jen and Bob to lick and make up.
Instead, he’ll have to do things doggy style, because when it comes to making sure true
love stays the course, a dog’s gotta do what a dog’s gotta do…
PRAISE FOR DOGGY STYLE
“Who doesn’t love a grumpy-funny-looking, and ultimately brave leading man? In Miles,
Jane May has created a most unusual and charming hero and proves beyond a doubt
that a canine is indeed man’s—and woman’s—best friend. A joy of a romance.”
—Holly Chamberlin, author of Back in the Game
“Jane May brings a fresh twist to the classic romance in this delightful romp, as told
through a wonderfully unique—and charmingly canine—voice. Doggy Style is a
winning tail—er, tale—sure to scamper right into the hearts of romance-reading pet
lovers everywhere.”
—Wendy Markham, author of Slightly Engaged
“Miles, the mongrel Chihuahua with attitude, is a riot. With a definite nose for true love
(and women’s underwear!), he proves that a girl’s best friend is her dog.”
—Liz Ireland, author of The Pink Ghetto
Several years ago, Jane May adopted a mutt from the ASPCA and named him Miles. They
live in New York City, where Jane is at work on her second novel for Kensington. Readers

A PERSON OF INTEREST
Ernest Hill
The New York Times Book Review hails Ernest Hill as “a skilled
storyteller.” Now the acclaimed author of It’s All About the
Moon When the Sun Ain’t Shining and Cry Me a River offers a
riveting page-turner about the power of love, true friendship—and
second chances…
orty-year-old Felicia Fontenot has returned to her hometown to care for her ailing
mother. Living across the street is Luther Jackson, her first love, and Juanita, the
woman for whom he left her. No sooner has Felicia settled in than the town is rocked
by a tragic crime—Luther’s pregnant wife and young son are horrifically killed. And
Luther is a prime suspect.
F
Torn between her mother’s warning not to get involved, and her own desire to clear
Luther, Felicia embarks on a journey that will lead her to discover the depths of her own
humanity, and the true meaning of love.
PRAISE FOR THE NOVELS OF ERNEST HILL
“It is good to read a novel by someone who shows such positive values in an African
American male. The writing is clean, straightforward and masculine. The main character,
Tyrone, is well rounded and true, and the dialogue between the characters, whether it
is between the members of the family or with the police, is as true as any I have read in
fiction recently. For its realism this book would fit well on the shelf with the works of
Richard Wright and Chester Himes, and for its detective work it is up there with the
contemporary novels of Walter Mosley.”
—Ernest J. Gaines, New York Times bestselling author
of A Lesson Before Dying on Cry Me a River
“Ernest Hill has always been a writer of great power and psychological depth, creating
characters that resonate brilliantly beyond the boundaries of gender and race. Now he has
written a book with all those qualities and, as well, a crackling, page-turning excitement
you’d expect from a bestselling thriller. Cry Me a River is a remarkable book. It runs
deep and it runs fast.”
—Robert Olen Butler, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning
A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain
“The brutal honesty of the characters’ circumstances, emotions, and realistic experiences
make this an exceptional literary piece that some readers will compare to Richard
—Booklist on Satisfied with Nothin’
Wright’s Native Son.”
Ernest Hill was born in Oak Grove, Louisiana. He holds degrees from the University of
California at Berkeley, Cornell University, and UCLA. He is the author of four previous
books—It’s All About the Moon When the Sun Ain’t Shining, Cry Me a River, Satisfied
with Nothin’, and A Life for a Life, and now lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

kind of black man her mama wants as a son-in-law, and just exotic enough to attract the
kind of white man Mama forbids.

DRAMA HIGH
SECOND CHANCE
L. Divine
A hot new boyfriend from the right side of the tracks ensures sweet
and spirited Jayd Jackson will be earning a ton of extra-credit in
drama this year at South Bay High.
icking up where Drama High: The Fight left off, Second Chance is the second in this
lively, fun new series. While Jayd Jackson may have dodged the kind of drama that
ends in broken bones, she may not be so lucky in the kind that ends in broken hearts.
P
Jayd’s new boyfriend Jeremy is not only cute, smart and funny—he’s white, rich, Jewish,
and unlike anything she’s ever known growing up on the streets of Compton, a fact that
neither their friends nor families seem able to overlook. Looks like navigating the halls
at the predominantly white South Bay High is going to take a whole new set of street
smarts—and with so much against them, can Jayd and Jeremy’s romance stand up to
the critics at Drama High?
