insider’s look at Hollywood in this wildly entertaining new mystery series starring
realtor-turned-amateur sleuth, Nikki Harper.
ikki Harper, realtor to the stars and daughter of 1950s screen goddess Victoria Bordeaux, is accustomed to scandal. Even so, she’s
shocked to receive a hysterical phone call from her business partner, Jessica Martin, saying that TV has-been Rex March has been found
dead in Jessica’s bed.
N
The really shocking part: as far as anyone knew, Rex died in a plane crash six months ago. Nikki knows Jessica is being framed, but by
whom? And why? And how on earth can Rex be dead again?
In search of answers, Nikki enlists the help of the ever-glamorous Victoria. But with a veritable chorus line of suspects, and the killer readying
for a repeat performance, Nikki will have to act fast—before her own screen fades to black.

SWEET LIKE SUGAR
Wayne Hoffman
Written with the eloquence and wit reminiscent of Jonathan Rosen,
and the astute capture of the quirks of human nature often seen in
Allegra Goodman’s novels, Wayne Hoffman’s debut novel explores
the unlikely camaraderie between a young Jewish man and an
Orthodox rabbi in this rich, insightful novel about love, honesty,
and belonging.
n Yiddish, there is a word for it: bashert—the person you are fated to meet.
Twentysomething Benji Steiner is skeptical of the concept. But the elderly rabbi who
stumbles into Benji’s office one day has no doubts. Rabbi Jacob Zuckerman’s late wife,
Sophie, was his bashert. And now that she’s gone, he grapples with grief and loneliness.
I
Touched by the rabbi’s plight, Benji becomes his helper—driving him home after work,
listening to his stories. In the process, he rediscovers something he didn’t know he’d lost.
Yet the test of friendship, and of faith, lies in the difficult truths they come to share. With
each revelation, Benji learns what it means not just to be Jewish but to be fully human—
imperfect, striving, and searching for acceptance.
KEY SELLING POINTS:
• Although centered on Jewish characters, Sweet Like Sugar has broad appeal
as a book about faith in general—when a young man grapples with his own
beliefs, and a man of faith grapples with his youth.
• A professional journalist for over 20 years, the author has written for dozens
of publications including the Washington Post, The Boston Pheonix, and
Hadassah magazine, and is well known throughout mainstream and Jewish
media circles.
PRAISE FOR SWEET LIKE SUGAR:
“An unforeseen tale of friendship and faith.” —Dave King, author of The Ha-Ha
“A story that is beautifully told, profound, and funny.”
—Jonathan Rosen, author of Joy Comes in the Morning
“A stirring story about the face of love on many different levels.” —Carolyn Hessel
Wayne Hoffman grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, very close to where Sweet Like Sugar
takes place. He has been a professional journalist and editor whose cultural reporting has
appeared in the Washington Post, Village Voice, The Nation, The Boston Phoenix, The
Forward, and The Advocate. Hoffman is currently deputy editor of Nextbook Press. He lives
in New York City and the Catskills.

THE PUB ACROSS THE POND
Mary Carter
Mary Carter, author of My Sister’s Voice and Sunny Side Blues
invites readers to come on an exhilarating journey to Ireland, as one
woman learns about luck, love, and finding the courage to listen to
her heart.
arlene Rivers is many things, but lucky isn’t usually one of them. At thirty, she’s living a
stifling existence in Cleveland and starting to resent her many responsibilities. Then one
day, Carlene buys a raffle ticket. The prize: a pub on the west coast of Ireland. Carlene is
stunned when she wins. Everyone else is stunned when she actually goes.
C
Arriving in Ballybeog, Carlene is smitten by the place and its people. The pub has
challenges—from meddling neighbors to “colorful” regulars—but there are
compensations galore. Like the freedom to sing, joke, and tell stories, and in doing so,
find her own voice. And in her flirtation with the pub’s charming, reckless former owner,
the freedom to follow her impulses and see just how lucky life can be…

the deaf, My Sister’s Voice satisfies on many levels.”

“Gripping, entertaining, and honest. This is a unique, sincere story about the invisible,
unbreakable bonds of sisterhood that sustain us no matter how far they’re buried.”

HIS MISTRESS BY CHRISTMAS
Victoria Alexander
From Victoria Alexander—#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Mistress—
comes an irresistibly festive Christmas novel featuring a beautiful, self-sufficient woman who
has only one wish—to be a mistress…
or three years, Lady Veronica Smithson has been a happy, independent widow. Still, the right gentleman could provide the benefits of
marriage without the tedious restrictions. And in Sir Sebastian Hadley-Attwater, renowned explorer and rogue, Veronica is sure she has
found him.

maturity than with a home and a wife. But though the lovely Veronica will share his bed, she refuses to marry.
An intimate sojourn at his new country house will surely change her mind. For Sebastian never takes no for an answer. And even in the midst
of mischief-making relatives and unexpected complications, he intends to persuade his Christmas mistress that they belong together—in this
and every season to come…

millions in debt to The Cheater Brothers’ Piece of Savings Bank. And Reverend Leotis
Tom refuses to accept any of trustee Freddie Noel’s sinful mega-lottery winnings.

he daughter of a career cop, Bernie Sullivan watched her two big brothers join New
York’s Finest, and her older sister married into the force. She herself would have gone
on the job if she weren’t afraid to look behind a closed shower curtain. Instead, a career
prosecuting criminals in the district attorney’s office is a far better fit.
T
Then tragedy hits. A shooter targets cops in a local coffee shop, and a Sullivan is among the
dead. In order to uphold the law, Bernie must let the “monster” cop-killer be proven guilty
in a court of law rather than face vigilante justice. But that means opposing her father, her
family, and her instincts, as she learns that the thin blue line is truly a jagged edge.

on the toll war takes on returning soldiers and on civilians whose loved ones won’t be
coming home.” —Booklist
“Gripping and emotional, the story could not be more timely.” —RT Book Reviews
Rosalind Noonan grew up in suburban Maryland on the outskirts of Baltimore and
Washington, D.C. One of five children, she enjoyed the comical, energetic vibe of a noisy
Irish household and remains close with her four siblings.
