A creepy, mysterious dollhouse takes center stage in this atmospheric middle-grade mystery for fans of Doll Bones and Small Spaces. Alice's world is falling apart. Her parents are getting a divorce, and they've cancelled their yearly cottage trip -- the one thing that gets Alice through the school year. Instead, Alice and her mom are heading to some small town where Alice's mom will be a live-in nurse to a rich elderly lady. The house is huge, imposing and spooky, and everything inside is meticulously kept and perfect -- not a fun place to spend the summer. Things start to get weird when Alice finds a dollhouse in the attic that's an exact replica of the house she's living in. Then she wakes up to find a girl asleep next to her in her bed -- a girl who looks a lot like one of the dolls from the dollhouse . . . When the dollhouse starts to change when Alice isn't looking, she knows she has to solve the mystery. Who are the girls in the dollhouse? What happened to them? And what is their connection to the mean and mysterious woman who owns the house?

New, REWRITTEN edition of the bestselling romcom, Unfriended: A Geek and Stud Romance Asher I always thought Charis Sloane would remain my best friend into infinity. For years we've debated philosophy together, laughed, played games, played ball. I hardly even notice the fact that she's female and I'm male. I mean, I do. But I try not to. I'm perfectly happy with my stormy, glitzy girlfriend across campus. Or at least, I tell myself I should be. Until I get the news. Sloane has gotten herself engaged. To be married. To some mysterious fiancé she refuses to name. And in the blink of an eye, everything changes. No longer can I see Sloane as just a friend. The platonic shutter has come up for good. Now I'm racing against time to convince my best friend that going through with this crazy wedding would be a colossal mistake. For the first time ever, I'm afraid my cocky charm, my iron abs and my famous "magic hands" won't land me what and who I want. The one I have this sneaking feeling I should have been with all along.... Sloane Asher - the cockiest guy on the college campus, the one who put the "stud" in student - is suddenly single. I've known Ash since way back before he got all those muscles. I know what he hides behind that brash exterior. He isn't only drop-dead gorgeous, he's loyal, funny, and smart. How can I help but harbor a secret crush? Alas, it was never happening. To his mind, I'm a buddy, "one of the dudes." Someone to shoot hoops with, debate with, never lock lips with. That being the case, I saw no reason not to accept a proposal of marriage that came my way. I assumed my best friend would be pleased. Yet he's not taking it well at all. Too, he seems to have developed an inexplicable interest in tracking my every move. His eyes have gone heated and smoky. I can only think his recent breakup has traumatized him to the point of brain damage. Somehow I have to resist the temptation to believe the signs. To believe his promises. Resist his charm, his determination... And those damn magic hands. A high-heat standalone friends-to-lovers romcom. No cheating or cliffhanger. Dear Reader, Times change, and so do authors. In a major way! The voices of my readers inspired me to rework my original story, Unfriended: A Geek and Stud Romance. Here's a rundown of what's changed. ASHER: He's still cocky, but with softer edges. SMOOTHING: The book has gone through a big edit and sweeping revision. BONUS OUTTAKES: For kicks, I've tossed in a selection of deleted scenes and previously-unpublished snippets and outtakes. FLASHBACKS: Some of the chapter-opening flashbacks got moved to bonus outtakes. Others kept their role in the evolving story. WORD COUNT: The length itself didn't change much. It went from about 91,000 to 92,000 words plus 2,500 of bonus content. I hope this version gives you all the giggles, swoons, and feels of the original, and more! Love, Deana

DECIDE WHAT NOT TO DO # 46 TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO USE YOUR TIME # 97 TAKE BACK THE WEEKEND In Cut to the Chase, bestselling author Stuart R. Levine reveals 100 no-nonsense rules on how to be more effective at work and make the best use of your most precious resource: your time. Just before CEO and consultant Stuart Levine appeared on the Today show to discuss his book The Six Fundamentals of Success, co-host Matt Lauer said to him, "You know what really drives me nuts? When people come into my office for a five-minute conversation and an hour later, they're still there! Why can't they cut to the chase?" Lauer's question echoed the concerns Levine has heard from business people and top executives at every level: How can I get more done? How can I stay focused? How can I condense my workday so that I can become more successful and still spend more time with the people I love? Levine's answer? By cutting to the chase. Successful individuals are the ones who make the best use of their time and energy. They approach each task with clarity, focus, and purpose. They prioritize. They don't allow others to waste their time. They understand the importance of refueling their batteries outside of work. In Cut to the Chase, Levine distills the expertise of hundreds of CEOs, leaders, and professionals into 100 concise, invaluable lessons about how to get to the point, stay on track, and be more successful in everything you do. In an age where we spend more hours at work than ever before, Cut to the Chase is the indispensable guide for taking control over your time so that you can lead a happier, more balanced life.
