THANKS FOR NOTHING, NICK MAXWELL
by Debbie Carbin

Commercial Fiction
St. Martin's Press
www.DebbieCarbin.com

4 Signed Copies will be given away on December 5, 2008






Debbie Carbin charms us with her British sense of humor as she talks about how she came up with her unforgettable character, Nick Maxwell. Listen here!


Synopsis:

What happens when the sexiest girl in town finds herself with some unexpected baggage?

Rachel Covington is twenty-five, sexy single and smug. Her life is a glorious whirl of keeping herself looking fabulous and toying with gorgeous men who are devastated when she dumps them. So it's obvious to everyone that she and the hottest guy in her office, Nick Maxwell, are destined to hook up - but what happens after that is a little less obvious. First Nick stops calling her - her, Rachel! - and then she discovers there's something even worse than being dumped: It's being dumped and pregnant.

Faced with a choice she never expected - does she keep the baby and start thinking about someone besides herself, or try to go back to the way things were? Rachel takes a new look at her priorities. But it's not all tears, cravings and morning sickness. A chance encounter with a tall, dark stranger - who doesn't even notice her looks - helps her laugh at herself and learn what matters.

Brilliantly funny, with a wonderfully fresh and original voice, Thanks For Nothing, Nick Maxwell is a smart, romantic novel about love, relationships, and knowing when it's time to start growing up.

The Fidelity Files (UK Edition) by Jessica Brody




THE FIDELITY FILES (UK Edition)
by Jessica Brody

Commercial Fiction
Ebury Press (Random House UK)
www.TheFidelityFiles.com
www.TheFidelityFiles.co.uk

3 Signed Copies will be given away on Nov. 28th, 2008




Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! For our special Thanksgiving edition, I've decided to give away one of the things that I'm most thankful for this year. And that's the recently-released UK edition of my book! I'm gonna give away three signed copies this Friday to celebrate one of my favorite holidays. And I'm sure there's some stretch of connection to be made with the Pilgrims being from England and all that...but I won't go there.


Jessica Brody reads a passage from her novel, THE FIDELITY FILES. Listen here!



Synopsis:

"My mission has been clear from day one. Uncover the truth. Give women a chance to move on with their lives. But not everyone sees this job as a worthy cause…They’d see me as a woman who knowingly flirts with married men and then breaks up relationships. Ruins families. Tears people apart. And that’s why I keep it to myself."

Working under the code name ‘Ashlyn’, Jennifer Hunter leads a double life. Her friends and family all think she’s an investment banker who’s too busy to date. In reality, Jennifer is a professional honey-trap, hired by suspicious wives and girlfriends to test the fidelity of the men in their lives. Her job has made her pretty cynical about her own love life. But just as she’s ready to swear off men for ever, Jennifer meets sexy, sophisticated Jamie Richards, a man who might just past her fidelity test. However, before she retires her secret agent self forever, she takes on one last assignment – a job which will permanently alter her perceptions of trust, honesty, and love.

*The Fidelity Files is also available in the US from St. Martin's Press
