New Releases by Ashley Elston

FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF FIRST LIE WINS A tense, feverish thriller about two women’s lives that are forever intertwined when a murder threatens to expose them both. “Elston expertly unravels a web of secrets and lies. You won’t be able to put this excellent thriller down until the final shocking page.” —Megan Miranda Everyone at Chantilly’s Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss. Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. But that woman wasn’t Camille Bayliss. It was Aubrey Price. Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life; she’s married to hotshot lawyer Ben and is the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana family. Only nothing is as it seems: Camille believes Ben has been hiding dirty secrets for years, but she can’t find proof because he tracks her every move. Aubrey Price has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she’s convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it. Living in a house full of criminals, Aubrey understands there’s more than one way to get to the truth—and she may have found the best way in. Aubrey and Camille hatch a plan. It sounds simple: For twelve hours, Aubrey will take Camille’s place. Camille will spy on Ben, and the two women will get the answers they desperately seek. Except the next morning, Ben is found murdered. Both women need an airtight alibi, but only one of them has it. And one false step is all it takes for everything to come undone.

REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK | #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “This fast-paced read has everything you could want in a thriller: secret identities, a mysterious boss and a cat & mouse game that kept me guessing the whole way through.” —Reese Witherspoon Evie Porter has everything a nice Southern girl could want: a doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence, a tight group of friends.

Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there''s still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn''t be higher—but then, Evie has always liked a challenge. . . .

«Un thriller incalzante, capace come pochi altri di tenere sulle spine dalla prima all''ultima pagina.» New York Post Ci sono persone per cui mentire è facile, altre per cui è praticamente impossibile. Perché mentire è difficile, e una bugia non è mai isolata. Una ne richiama inevitabilmente un’altra, e poi un’altra ancora, e occorrono grande lucidità e freddezza per fare sì che lo scintillante ma fragile castello di carte che abbiamo eretto tra noi e gli altri non cada all’improvviso, rivelando una volta per tutte chi siamo. Poi ci sono persone per cui mentire è, semplicemente, un mestiere. E in questo Evie Porter è la migliore. Per questo Mr Smith, il suo misterioso datore di lavoro, fa ricorso alle sue doti quando la parte da recitare è quella di una ragazza dell’Alabama fidanzata di Ryan Sumner, il tipico ragazzo d’oro che chiunque vorrebbe sposare. Peccato che sia la solita bugia e che Evie, come al solito, stia mentendo per carpire informazioni da un tutto sommato forse non così limpido Ryan. Peccato, perché la sua vittima questa volta è davvero carina e la vita che le promette è proprio il genere di esistenza che Evie ha solo potuto brevemente sognare di tanto in tanto leggendo qualche romanzo d’amore. In fondo si trova lì per fare il suo lavoro, in cui è così brava, e poi sparire. Ma un giorno, durante una festa, le si avvicina la fidanzata di un amico di Ryan e sorridente le si presenta. Strano nome, il suo: Lucca. Lucca Marino. Molto strano. Anche perché è il vero nome di Evie. Qualcuno almeno bravo quanto lei a mentire, improvvisamente, è sul terreno di gioco. Ma il gioco, questa volta, qual è?

New York Times Bestseller och utvald av Reese Witherspoon till Reese''s Book Club. Evie Porter finns inte på riktigt. Det är ett alias hon har blivit tilldelad av sin gåtfulla chef, och hennes uppdrag är att närma sig Ryan Sumner, en till synes vanlig man i en småstad i Louisiana. Allt hon har är ett namn, en adress, och en måltavla. Men det här uppdraget blir annorlunda. Hon faller för Ryan och börjar drömma om ett annat liv – trots att hon inte har råd med några misstag efter vad som hände sist. När en kvinna med ett allt för välbekant namn oväntat dyker upp i den lilla staden ställs allt på sin spets. Evie måste ligga ett steg före sitt förflutna i en dödlig katt-och-råtta-lek, där bara en kan vara den bästa bedragaren. Och vem är egentligen hennes anonyma uppdragsgivare?

Evie Porterová má všechno, co by si milá jižanská dívka mohla přát: dokonalého, starostlivého přítele, dům s bílým plotem a zahradou, přátele. Má to jediný háček: Evie Porterová neexistuje. Jako první se dozví novou identitu: Evie Porterová. K tomu jí její tajemný šéf pan Smith přidělí místo a Evie si o městě a lidech, kteří tu žijí, zjistí všechno, co potřebuje. Pak přijde na řadu cílová osoba: Ryan Sumner. Posledním dílkem skládačky je úkol. Evie nezná skutečnou identitu pana Smithe, ale ví, že tenhle úkol bude jiný. Ryan se jí dostal pod kůži a ona si začíná představovat jiný život. Jenže zrovna teď nesmí udělat žádnou chybu – zvlášť po tom, co se stalo minule. Ale hlavně proto, že se ve městě objevila její dvojnice s identitou, kterou Evie moc dobře zná – s jedinou identitou, kterou celý život pečlivě střežila. Jako by stála tváří v tvář sama sobě. Evie musí zůstat o krok napřed před svou minulostí a zároveň zajistit, aby před sebou vůbec ještě měla budoucnost. V sázce už nemůže být víc – ale Evie měla vždycky ráda výzvy... Vychází v překladu Zdíka Duška.

Evie Porter lijkt het perfecte leven te leiden met haar knappe, liefhebbende vriend Ryan, naar wiens zuidelijke landhuis met pilaren ze binnenkort zal verhuizen. Er zit alleen één addertje onder het gras: Evie Porter bestaat niet eens! Alles wat ze de smoorverliefde Ryan tot nu toe over zichzelf heeft verteld, was een leugen. In werkelijkheid is hij haar nieuwe opdracht. En oplichtster Evie weet dat ze het zich deze keer niet kan veroorloven nog een fout te maken als ze in leven wil blijven. Daarom houdt ze met bijna alles rekening – behalve met de vrouw die zich op een van Ryans feestjes voorstelt als Lucca Marino. Want Lucca Marino is Evies echte naam, die ze al jaren niet meer gebruikt. Een waarschuwing? Een dag later is de valse Lucca dood, en voor Evie is er maar één vraag: wie is de volgende?

Sie ist klug, sie ist taff – und sie muss besser lügen als ihr Boss: »Wer zuerst lügt« ist ein rasanter Thriller mit hohem Spaß-Faktor um eine Trickbetrügerin, deren neuer Auftrag aus dem Ruder läuft. Evie Porter lebt scheinbar das perfekte Leben mit ihrem attraktiven, liebevollen Freund Ryan, in dessen säulengeschmückte Südstaaten-Villa sie bald einziehen wird. Die Sache hat nur einen Haken: Evie Porter existiert gar nicht! Alles, was sie dem schwer verliebten Ryan bislang über sich erzählt hat, war eine Lüge. In Wahrheit ist er ihr neuer Auftrag. Und Trickbetrügerin Evie weiß, dass sie sich diesmal keinen Fehler mehr erlauben darf, wenn ihr ihr Leben lieb ist. Deshalb rechnet sie mit praktisch allem – nur nicht mit der Frau, die sich auf einer von Ryans Partys als Lucca Marino vorstellt. Denn Lucca Marino ist Evies richtiger Name, den sie seit Jahren nicht mehr benutzt hat. Eine Warnung? Einen Tag später ist die falsche Lucca tot, und für Evie stellt sich nur eine Frage: Wer wird die nächste sein? Mit Evie / Lucca hat die amerikanische Autorin Ashley Elston eine clevere, hochsympathische Heldin geschaffen, mit der man gerne mitfiebert. »Wer zuerst lügt« ist der perfekte Thriller für Leser*innen, die rasante Spannung mit überraschenden Twists, etwas Romance und nicht zu viel Blut suchen.

But when the tiny hiccup of an unsigned off-campus P.E. form puts Olivia in danger of not graduating at all, she has one week to set things straight without tipping off her very big and very nosy extended family.Volunteering to help at a local golf tournament should do it, but since Olivia''s mom equipped her phone with a tracking app, there''ll be no hiding the fact that she''s at the golf course instead of all the graduation parties happening at the same time.

Sure, Olivia''s sudden ""passion"" for golf is met with some suspicion. And sure, her grasp of the rules is a little shaky.

A riveting, atmospheric, multi-generational, high-stakes mystery by Ashley Elston, New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins! Owen Foster has never wanted for anything. Then his mother shows up at his elite New Orleans boarding school cradling a bombshell: his privileged life has been funded by stolen money.

Owen returns to Lake Cane to finish his senior year, where people he hardly remembers despise him for his father''s crimes. It''s bad enough dealing with muttered insults and glares, but when Owen and his mother receive increasingly frightening threats from someone out for revenge, he knows he must get to the bottom of what really happened at Louisiana Frac...and the cryptic note his father sent him at his boarding school days before disappearing. Owen''s only refuge is the sprawling, isolated pecan orchard he works at after school, owned by a man named Gus who has his own secrets—and in some ways seems to know Owen better than he knows himself. As Owen uncovers a terrible injustice that looms over the same Preacher Woods he''s claimed as his own, he must face a shocking truth about his past--and write a better future.
