Deeanna has worked hard to get where she is in her career, but her resolve is shaken after her former coworker’s misdeeds have been exposed. Ideally, she can live her life and do her job as she always has, but that proves more difficult as time goes by, especially the more she gets to know a handsome attorney.

Will she let go of her inhibitions and misgivings about men and relationships and give Nathan a chance or has her past and the current legal case scared her off relationships permanently? Is she ready for something serious?

Now a movie on Lifetime! I was thirteen when my dad caught me with Tommy Webber in the back of Tommy's Buick, parked next to the old Chart House down in Montara at eleven o'clock on a Tuesday night. Tommy was seventeen and the supposed friend of my brother, Darren. I didn't love him. I'm not sure I even liked him. In a moment, Deanna Lambert's teenage life is changed forever. Struggling to overcome the lasting repercussions and the stifling role of "school slut," Deanna longs to escape a life defined by her past. With subtle grace, complicated wisdom, and striking emotion, Story of a Girl reminds us of our human capacity for resilience, epiphany, and redemption.

In this groundbreaking bestseller, Lundy Bancroft—a counselor who specializes in working with abusive men—uses his knowledge about how abusers think to help women recognize when they are being controlled or devalued, and to find ways to get free of an abusive relationship. He says he loves you. So...why does he do that? You’ve asked yourself this question again and again. Now you have the chance to see inside the minds of angry and controlling men—and change your life. In Why Does He Do That? you will learn about: • The early warning signs of abuse • The nature of abusive thinking • Myths about abusers • Ten abusive personality types • The role of drugs and alcohol • What you can fix, and what you can’t • And how to get out of an abusive relationship safely “This is without a doubt the most informative and useful book yet written on the subject of abusive men. Women who are armed with the insights found in these pages will be on the road to recovering control of their lives.”—Jay G. Silverman, Ph.D., Director, Violence Prevention Programs, Harvard School of Public Health

Georgia Davis made her first appearance, a cameo really, in the second Ellie Foreman novel, A Picture of Guilt. She was a cop then. I expanded her role in An Image of Death (Ellie #3). I knew by then that one day she would have her own series—I just had to wait for the right story. That story was Easy Innocence, her first case as a Private Investigator. It's about high school girls and how far they will go to be accepted by their peers. Georgia is cautious. She's a loner, and she has baggage. While Ellie would love to go out to lunch with and give you TMI about herself, Georgia won't take a lunch break. The Ellie books have a dry sense of humor (at least I hope so), but the Georgia books? Not so much—Georgia is a serious person. She is driven partly by injustice, partly by her childhood, and partly because she can't bear to see people , especially young women, in pain. Georgia has plenty of stories to tell, and six of them make up this series, all set in Chicago and the suburbs. They’re darker than the Ellie books, because Georgia is a darker personality. Abandoned by her mother when she was young, her alcoholic father raised her with a stern hand. In fact, Georgia's arc over the series has been to “lighten up,” forgive, and find the joy she so richly deserves. Watch her develop her PI skills, and her humanity in The Georgia Davis PI Series. If you love Tess Gerritsen, Karin Slaughter, and Lisa Gardner, you'll love Libby Hellmann, author of Compulsively Readable Thrillers. * Get the first Georgia Davis thriller, Easy Innocence, FREE.
