Emily Henry's beloved New York Times bestselling novel now in this stunning hardcover collector's edition featuring: - A shimmering revamped cover - Sunset sky art endpapers and sprayed edges - Gold foil stamped case, and... - A new introduction from the author and a bonus January and Gus epilogue, "The Layover" A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a Happily Ever After, he kills off his entire cast. They're polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months they're living in neighboring beach houses, broke and bogged down with writer's block. Then one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She'll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he'll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. Really. "A tender, thoughtful, and very funny book...it's not only convincing but infectious."--The New York Times Book Review

Greater Than Rubies
From his cultured handsome looks to his vast fortune, Antonio "Tony" Viscolli is every red-blooded American girl's dream match. It doesn't hurt that he completely loves and adores Robin with all his heart and soul from practically the moment they first meet. Robin comes from a blistering past, struggling and fighting for the survival of herself and her two younger half-sisters in a cold, cruel world. By the time Tony thaws her heart, she has known hunger, poverty, violence, and want. Robin never had a chance to dream of a white wedding gown or a prince charming. Instead, her dreams were nightmares dark and clouded with fear and desperation. For months, Tony courted the blond beauty with the sapphire eyes. He teased Robin and pursued her. He showered with attention, respect, and charm. He covered her in diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. Tony satisfied every heart's desire. Finally, Robin came to understand God's love for her as imitated by the unconditional love Tony freely offered. Then, on a sunny Florida beach, Tony proposed and Robin eagerly said "Yes!" Back in bitter cold Boston, doubts about becoming a billionaire's bride begin to crowd out her hopes for happiness. Robin worked for tips until just a few months before Tony proposed on that sunny stretch of sand. In fact, she waited his table less than half a year earlier. Having no experience facing these challenges, Robin struggles to cope feeling the pressures of relocating; of unreliable transportation; of the never-ending details of the shower, the ceremony, the reception, the honeymoon; of worries that her sisters will smoothly transition along with her; of changing her name; all while dealing with her father's very serious legal problems. As the date draws inexorably near and the pressure mounts, Robin begins to grasp the scale of her fianc矇's vast material wealth and holdings, the responsibilities of the virtual empire he commands. She witnesses his generosity when he takes on a young prot矇g矇 straight from the tough South Boston streets. Ultimately, Robin questions whether she is truly the girl of Tony's dreams. Is she the woman God has made for him? In taking her on as a wife, would she act as helpmeet or poison apple? In truly loving Tony, would it be better to bind herself to him for all eternity or return his freedom? When her nightmares return in full force, they remind Robin of an even deeper and more terrifying prospect. Will she give in to her insecurities and cancel Boston's "Royal Wedding" for good? Or, with God's guidance, will Tony sacrifice everything to prove to his beloved Robin her true worth?

Vadriel Vail
Set in the milieu of New York's Gilded Age aristocracy, Vadriel Vail vividly explores excesses and arrogance from the heights of glittering society to the depths of poverty in unimaginably horrific immigrant slums. Romance, secrets, and high stakes action, exceptional women and extraordinary men are swept into a whirlwind of love and forbidden desire.Armand de Guise, dangerous scion of a New York financial empire, is both handsome and loathsome. Wrought with guilt over an egregious encounter, he turns his lust, then love, toward young, brilliant, and ethereally handsome Vadriel Vail, Newport, RI's lavender-eyed golden boy of wealth and privilege. But Vadriel is soon in the arms of Placidia Van Leer, a perfect social match. As Vadriel crucifies himself on duty and doubt, appetite and anxiety, Armand looms, menacing and melodramatic. Placidia, her prized Vadriel in her bed, grows terrified that someone, something else will steal him away. Can redemption and true love become one?With hyperbolic exuberance, classic in form and relentlessly entertaining, Vadriel Vail is an historical gay romance of the highest order, a stunning follow-up to Gaywyck."Vincent Virga understands that the Gothic is always about the secret, vexed attraction of virtue for vice and vice for virtue, the first unsure of whether it wants to ennoble or be degraded, the second of whether it wants to degrade or be ennobled. That engine pulses through this wild, magnificently excessive novel, which teems with the social and sexual life of queer Gilded-Age New York." - Peter Trachtenberg, The Twilight of Bohemia: Westbeth and the Last Artists in New York"As melodramatic, mysterious and menacing a gay gothic romance as one might desire on the heels of the classic Gaywyck." - Layla McCay, The Queer Bookshelf: a reader's guide"Luminous and beguiling, a profound mosaic of allusion and desire, Virga's novel returns to the literary scene just in time: we need and deserve transformative love - this epic torch that is Vadriel Vail lights the way." - Tom Cardamone, Momentary Aberrations

Rule Breaker
You could say Jesse Winters and I got off on the wrong foot. The first time I laid eyes on him, I let him know exactly where he could shove that smug grin on his face. I've met plenty of guys like Jesse-handsome, charming, infuriating. He skates through life on good looks and charisma, leaving a trail of broken hearts along the way. It's clear that most girls find him impossible to ignore, but then, most girls haven't been raised with a powerful political family legacy resting squarely on their shoulders. My parents taught me to be poised, polished, and perfect. And to stay far away from men like Jesse Winters. Unfortunately, he's one of the owners of the company I now work for and seeing as I uprooted my entire life and moved to Deep Cove for this job, I tell myself to just do my best to avoid him. That is, until an out-of-town gala I'm pressured to attend forces us together. An airplane ride away from the office and the town we both call home, we're stuck sharing one hotel room. And one bed. Suddenly, Jesse is my fake date for the weekend-only nothing about it feels like we're pretending. Especially not the possessive way he looks at me. Or how much I like it. It doesn't take long to realize that underneath that bad boy charm is a heart I didn't expect and a softness I didn't see coming, and it threatens to break through every carefully constructed piece of who I'm supposed to be.As Jesse and I grow closer, my parents begin to see him as a threat to the legacy they expect me to uphold. So, they do what they've always done when something gets in the way of their plans: lie, manipulate, and play dirty to get what they want. And what they want now is to keep us apart. I was raised to follow the rules. Jesse has spent his entire life breaking them. But the more we collide, the harder it becomes to deny what's between us or how much it could cost me if I choose him.
