New Releases by Elizabeth Craft

Elle avait tout prévu, sauf de tomber amoureuse d''une célébrité. Pas de sorties, pas de soirées ni de bal de promo, et surtout pas de petit ami : c’était le plan. Le plan parfait qui me garantirait un avenir digne de ce nom, à l’opposé de la vie dissolue que les femmes de ma famille ont toujours menée. Ce n’était pas tous les jours facile à assumer, surtout en cours, mais c’était ce que je voulais et j’allais y arriver. Sauf qu’un soir j’ai rencontré Tate : le garçon le plus sexy que j’aie jamais vu, et aussi l’une des stars les plus célèbres du moment. Je ne sais pas grand-chose de lui si ce n’est que, quand je suis dans ses bras, le passé et le futur me semblent loin, très loin... A propos des auteursElizabeth Craft vit à Los Angeles. Elle écrit et produit de nombreuses séries en duo avec Sarah Fain, dont la célèbre The Shield et Women’s Murder Detective Club réalisée par James Patterson. Shea Olsen vit dans l’État de l’Oregon, aux Etats-Unis. Elle est productrice de films.

Charlotte quiere ser la primera mujer de su familia en ir a la universidad. Pero todo se trastoca cuando conoce a Tate Collins, la joven estrella del rock. Una historia de amor en la que está prohibido el contacto físico... pero ¿quién puede controlar los juegos de la imaginación y el deseo? «Esto es lo que siempre he querido: sacar las mejores notas de la clase, que mi abuela esté orgullosa de mí y, sobre todo: ser la primera de mi familia en ir a la universidad. »Mi madre y mi hermana estaban obsesionadas con los chicos, el amor y el sexo. Tanto, que se olvidaron de lo que querían para el resto de sus vidas. Y lo perdieron todo. Por eso, yo he jurado que nunca perderé la cabeza por un chico. »Pero eso fue antes de Tate. »Antes de que el cantante con más éxito del mundo se fijara en mí. »Antes de los aviones privados, las citas secretas y las letras de canciones sobre nosotros. »Hay tanto que no sé... como por qué dejó la música, dónde va cuando no estamos juntos, qué secreto oculta su pasado. Pero cuando nos besamos, el resto de mi vida queda muy lejos. Y ahora... ya no sé lo que quiero.» Charlotte, de 17 años, no está nada segura de las intenciones de Tate, la joven estrella del rock que parece haberse enamorado de ella. ¡Ni siquiera está segura de que él vaya en serio! Pero Tate la visita en el trabajo y le manda flores al instituto, y Charlotte no puede resistirse... Tate acaba estableciendo unos límites hasta que ella se gradúe: nada de contacto físico. Lo que comienza como una atracción física se transformará en algo mucho más profundo a medida que van poniendo a prueba los límites que se han impuesto. TODO ESTÁ ABIERTO A LA IMAGINACIÓN Los lectores dicen... «Elizabeth Craft y Shea Olsen han escrito conjuntamente una novela que es adictiva. La he disfrutado de principio a fin y he podido conocer la pluma de estas dos escritoras, a quienes pienso seguir la pista de ahora en adelante». «Las autoras tienen una forma de escribir tan fresca, tan soñadora y elegante que me ha dejado sin palabras. Una historia preciosa con un toque muy especial. Casi mágica». «Un libro con el que he disfrutado mucho. No os va a dejar indiferentes». «La historia me ha parecido maravillosa. Una historia de amor sencilla y dulce, con sus complicaciones y una evolución en los personajes importantes.» Pandora Magazine «Una historia apasionante. Difícil, bonita y penetrante a partes iguales. De las que nos hacen vibrar y nos encienden. Ese tipo de historias que son capaces de poner en marcha el mecanismo de nuestro interior para hacernos subir y bajar. Reír. Llorar. Entrar en calor. Enternecernos. Sufrir. Odiar. Amar... Nos mantiene en vilo desde la primera hasta la última página.»

Unstillbare Sehnsucht. Rettungslose Liebe. Charlotte hat keine Zeit für Männer, sondern setzt all ihren Ehrgeiz auf die Zulassung an der Stanford Universität. Da tritt ein fremder Mann in ihr Leben, der geheimnisvolle Tate. Charlotte verliebt sich auf den ersten Blick und will nur noch eins: Tate. Und Tate will sie. Dann der Schock: Tate ist nicht irgendwer, sondern ein Superstar, der bekannteste Sänger seiner Generation. Und er hat dem Rampenlicht – und Beziehungen – den Rücken gekehrt. Doch die Anziehungskraft zwischen Charlotte und Tate ist so stark wie das Schicksal selbst ...

Brown bears growl and eat fish from streams. Giant squid eat the fish that are caught in their tentacles. Animals are all so distinctive and unique. What would it be like to be another animal? What would it be like to dream of being another animal? Every day, our waking world is just a dream or illusion. The world of dreams can be just as real as this illusory waking life. Anatta''s Dreams is born from a classic philosophical and spiritual question: Am I a boy who dreams of being a butterfly or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a boy?

Harper veut écrire le prochain roman du siècle. Sophie veut devenir actrice à Los Angeles. Kate veut partir seule en Europe et "se trouver" enfin, et Becca veut être championne de ski. Mais au milieu de tous ces rêves, il y a la réalité : les crises d''angoisse, les fous rires, les lettres échangées, les coups de téléphone et les coups de foudre aussi.

Best friends Harper Waddle, Sophie Bushell, and Kate Foster committed the ultimate suburban sin: bailing on college to pursue their dreams. Middlebury-bound Becca Winsberg was convinced her friends had gone insane until they reminded her she just might have a dream of her own. Now the year is half-way through and their dreams seem within reach. Well, almost. Harper has managed to gain the freshman fifteen without ever being a freshman, though locked in her basement bathroom she finds inspiration and finally seems to be writing from the heart. Sophie is forced to leave her cushy Beverly Hills quarters and crashes on Sam''s couch while looking for her big Hollywood break. Kate is doing aid work in Ethiopia, where she encounters family ghosts - along with Darby, the handsome but antagonistic Princeton student who thinks she''s a dumb blonde who couldn''t possibly care about Ethiopia "since there are no celebrities here." And when Becca finally emerges from her lovers'' nest, it seems her relationship with Stuart isn''t as perfect as she thought. Even if "the year that changed everything" has sometimes been less than dreamy, these four best friends will always have each other.

For fans of the New York Times bestselling Gossip Girl and hit tv show The Sex Lives of College girls here is a smart and highly commercial first novel about four best friends who, after graduating high school, decide to postpone the standard college route to pursue their creative dreams. Harper Waddle, Sophie Bushell, and Kate Foster are about to commit the ultimate suburban sin-bailing on college to pursue their dreams. Middlebury-bound Becca Winsberg is convinced her friends have gone insane? until they remind her she just might have a dream of her own. So what if their lives are bass-ackwards and belly up? They''ll always have each other. Harper is going to be the next Jane Austen. Or Sylvia Plath. Or Plum Sykes. Figuring out which should be easy. It''s living with the lie she told her three best friends that''s going to be hard. Kate doesn''t know exactly what she wants. But whatever it is, she won''t find it at Harvard. Maybe the answer is in Paris, or Athens? or anywhere Kate can be someone besides the girl with perfect grades, perfect hair, and the perfect boyfriend. Sophie is a star. She''s already got the looks, the talent, and a list of demands for her dressing room. Now that she''s wrangled a furnished guesthouse in Beverly Hills, it''s only a matter of time before she''s discovered. Unless she isn''t. Becca is dysfunctional. At least, her family is. Which is why she can''t wait to flee the drama and get to college. But Becca''s friends know she needs more than a spot on the Middlebury ski team and a cozy dorm room. They know she needs to fall in love.
