Prequel - The First Kiss - Charlotte Maguire is on a break from her long-time boyfriend and never expected to meet a tall, dark, gorgeous, man fluent in Italian during her work assignment in Rome. Caleb Kincaid might be her boss, but every smoldering glance and heated touch feels like so much more. Book 1 - Last First Kiss - Caleb never thought he’d get a second chance with Charlotte, but after five years, he’s back in New York and so is she. Now they’re both single, but she wants to pretend the magnetic heat between them doesn’t still exist—yet she keeps ending up in his arms. Book 2 - Battle of Hearts - Rory Maguire didn’t join the SWAT team to play bodyguard to a socialite, especially one trying to dig up dirt and make a name for herself as a reporter. But he can’t deny how alluring Ainsley Nash is, so when trouble comes to find her, he plans to protect her no matter what. Book 3 - Strictly Off Limits - Detective Conner Maguire isn’t nearly as bad as his ex-best friend’s little sister thinks he is, but if Hannah Paletti wants to play enemies-to-lovers, he is game. The only problem is, he wants to keep her for real and forever. Book 4 - Love and Order - Finn Maguire may have fought like a warrior as a SEAL, but no one has ever brought him to his knees until he falls for Hailey Adams. He’s had a crush on her for two years, and now he’s supposed to compete with her for a coveted promotion. But he has no intention of taking anything from her—except her love.

From Gregory Maguire, the acclaimed author of Wicked, comes his much-anticipated second novel, a brilliant and provocative retelling of the timeless Cinderella tale. In the lives of children, pumpkins can turn into coaches, mice and rats into human beings.... When we grow up, we learn that it's far more common for human beings to turn into rats.... We all have heard the story of Cinderella, the beautiful child cast out to slave among the ashes. But what of her stepsisters, the homely pair exiled into ignominy by the fame of their lovely sibling? What fate befell those untouched by beauty . . . and what curses accompanied Cinderella's exquisite looks? Extreme beauty is an affliction Set against the rich backdrop of seventeenth-century Holland, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister tells the story of Iris, an unlikely heroine who finds herself swept from the lowly streets of Haarlem to a strange world of wealth, artifice, and ambition. Iris's path quickly becomes intertwined with that of Clara, the mysterious and unnaturally beautiful girl destined to become her sister. Clara was the prettiest child, but was her life the prettiest tale? While Clara retreats to the cinders of the family hearth, burning all memories of her past, Iris seeks out the shadowy secrets of her new household--and the treacherous truth of her former life. God and Satan snarling at each other like dogs.... Imps and fairy godmotbers trying to undo each other's work. How we try to pin the world between opposite extremes! Far more than a mere fairy-tale, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister is a novel of beauty and betrayal, illusion and understanding, reminding us that deception can be unearthed--and love unveiled--in the most unexpected of places.

Book excerpt: The year is 1502, and seven-year-old Bianca de Nevada lives perched high above the rolling hills and valleys of Tuscany and Umbria at Montefiore, the farm of her beloved father, Don Vicente. One day a noble entourage makes its way up the winding slopes to the farm—and the world comes to Montefiore. In the presence of Cesare Borgia and his sister, the lovely and vain Lucrezia—decadent children of a wicked pope—no one can claim innocence for very long. When Borgia sends Don Vicente on a year's quest to reclaim a relic of the original Tree of Knowledge, he leaves Bianca under the care, so to speak, of Lucrezia. She plots a dire fate for the young girl in the woods below the farm, but in the dark forest there can be found salvation as well. . . . A lyrical work of stunning creative vision, Mirror Mirror gives fresh life to the classic story of Snow White—and has a truth and beauty all its own.

Book excerpt: “A brilliant, perceptive, and deeply moving fable.” —Boston Sunday Globe Publishers Weekly calls Gregory Maguire’s Lost “a deftly written, compulsively readable modern-day ghost story.” Brilliantly weaving together the literary threads of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, and the Jack the Ripper stories, the bestselling author of The Wicked Years canon creates a captivating fairy tale for the modern world.
