Lady Caroline Linford is horrified to discover her fiancé, the Marquis of Winchilsea, in the arms of another woman. Unfortunately, the rest of Victorian society doesn''t seem to understand the betrayal.

But Caroline is determined to make sure that the man she is to marry will desire only her, so she enlists the best teacher in the art of romance - London''s most notorious rake, Braden Granville.

A witchy rom-com from New York Times bestseller Meg Cabot about a plus size witch who must team up with a handsome stranger to help protect her village from an otherworldly force—but will she be able to protect her heart? It’s Magic When You Meet Your Match In her teenage years, lovelorn Jessica Gold cast a spell that went disastrously wrong, and brought her all the wrong kind of attention—as well as a lifetime ban from the World Council of Witches. So no one is more surprised than Jess when, fifteen years later, tall, handsome WCW member Derrick Winters shows up in her quaint little village of West Harbor and claims that Jess is the Chosen One. She’s the Chosen One Not chosen by West Harbor’s snobby elite to style them for the town’s tricentennial ball—though Jess owns the chicest clothing boutique in town. And not chosen finally to be on the WCW, either—not that Jess would have said yes, anyway, since she’s done with any organization that tries to dictate what makes a “true” witch. No, Jess has been chosen to help save West Harbor itself . . . As Summer Ends, Her Power Grows But just when Jess is beginning to think that she and Derrick might have a certain magic of their own—and not of the supernatural variety—Jess learns he may not be who she thought he was. And suddenly Jess finds herself having to make another kind of choice: trust Derrick and work with him to combat the sinister force battling to bring down West Harbor, or use her gift as she always has: to keep herself, and her heart, safe. Can she work her magic in time?

#1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot offers two fun, hilarious, and unforgettable novels from her fan favorite “Boy” series in this special e-book bundle… THE BOY IS BACK Reed Stewart thought he’d left all his small-town troubles—including a broken heart—behind when he ditched tiny Bloomville, Indiana, ten years ago to become rich and famous on the professional golf circuit. Then a post on the Internet causes all of those troubles to return with a vengeance. Becky Flowers has worked hard to build her successful senior-relocation business, but she’s worked even harder to forget Reed Stewart. She has absolutely no intention of seeing him when he returns—until his family hires her. Now Reed and Becky can’t avoid one another—or the memories of that one fateful night. EVERY BOY’S GOT ONE Cartoonist Jane Harris is delighted by the prospect of her first-ever trip to Italy, even though it means being a bridesmaid at her best pal Holly’s elopement to longtime beau Mark...and it''s hate at first sight for Jane and Mark’s best man Cal Langdon. But when Holly and Mark''s wedding plans hit a major snag, Jane and Cal find themselves having to put aside their mutual dislike for one another in order to get their best friends on the road to wedded bliss—and end up on a road themselves...one neither of them ever expected.

You are invited to a Genovian Royal Wedding in this second book pulled From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess, a Princess Diaries spin-off series, written and illustrated by New York Times-bestselling author Meg Cabot. Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison still finds it hard to believe that she''s a real live PRINCESS OF GENOVIA. Not only does she get to live in an actual palace with her newly discovered family and two fabulous poodles (who all love her and think that she''s anything but ordinary!) but she also gets her very own PONY! Of course, things aren''t going exactly like she imagined. Her half-sister Mia is very busy learning how to take over the country while trying to plan a wedding and her father is actually getting remarried himself-to Mia''s mother!-and spends most of his time "renovating" the summer palace, although Grandmere says he is just hiding from the wedding preparations. Olivia hardly gets to see either of them. Fortunately, Grandmere has her own plans for Mia''s wedding, and needs Olivia''s help to pull them off. Just when Olivia starts to think that things are going to work out after all, the palace is invaded by a host of new cousins and other royals who all seem to be angry at Olivia (although Grandmere says they are just jealous). As the day of the wedding gets closer and closer, Olivia becomes more and more worried. For such a carefully planned event, it seems like a LOT of things are going wrong... Can Olivia keep this royal wedding from becoming a royal disaster?

Mia and Michael are finally an item, but her totally out-of-control Grandmere seems to have other plans . . . Just before the happy couple''s first hot date, an unmissable royal engagement turns up. Could it be that Michael doesn''t measure up - and that (please not!) Grandmere''s got someone else in mind for Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo? Previously published as Mia Goes Fourth, Royally Obsessed is the fourth novel in the hilarious, bestselling The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot - with a gorgeous cover to celebrate the series''s fifteenth anniversary.

Booklist

Princess Mia Thermopolis is about to turn fifteen - and can''t wait to dance the night away with Michael at the biggest, most romantic event of her life so far: the senior prom! But nothing''s going according to plan. Not only does Mia face a snoozefest summer of public functions in Genovia. Even worse is the fact that Michael hasn''t even invited Mia to the prom at all. Hello, what is going on here? Just as Mia comes up with a perfect plan to change her man''s mind, disaster strikes. A disaster that only a (slightly-evil) genius like Grandmere can overcome . . . Previously published as Give Me Five, Prom Princess is the fifth novel in the hilarious bestselling The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot - with a gorgeous cover to celebrate the series'' fifteenth anniversary.

Return to the world of Meg Cabot''s bestselling and beloved Princess Diaries series in From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess—this time through the illustrated diary of a spunky new heroine: Princess Mia''s long lost half-sister, Olivia! Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison is a completely average twelve-year-old: average height, average weight, average brown hair of average length, average brown skin and average hazel eyes. The only things about her that aren''t average are her name (too long and princess themed), her ability to draw animals (useful for her future career as a wildlife illustrator), and the fact that she is a half-orphan who has never met her father and is forced to live with her aunt and uncle (who treat her almost like their own kids, so she doesn''t want to complain). Then one completely average day, everything goes wrong: the most popular girl in school, Annabelle Jenkins, threatens to beat her up, the principal gives her a demerit, and she''s knocked down at the bus stop . . . Until a limo containing Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia pulls up to invite her to New York to finally meet her father, who promptly invites her to come live with him, Mia, Grandmère and her two fabulous poodles . . . . Maybe Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison isn''t so average after all!

Mia Thermopolis has got everything a girl could possibly want. She''s a princess - and she''s got a boyfriend! But that''s where it all goes wrong. Because Kenny is just not the guy she really wants. Michael''s the one she''s loved forever - but he''s going out with someone infinitely cleverer than Mia. Someone who can clone fruit flies, for heaven''s sake! Will the story end happily ever after for the Princess of Genovia? Previously published as Third Time Lucky, Princess in the Middle is the third novel in the hilarious, bestselling The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot - with a gorgeous cover to celebrate the series''s fifteenth anniversary.

Now includes a bonus excerpt from Meg Cabot''s new Heather Wells novel, Size 12 and Ready to Rock, available wherever books are sold July 10. Heather Wells Rocks! Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two—and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather''s perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York''s top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather''s residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft. The cops and the college president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage girls . . . and girls do not elevator surf. Yet no one wants to listen—not the police, her colleagues, or the P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives—even when more students start turning up dead in equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective! But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal. And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who''s sticking her nose where it doesn''t belong . . .

Life is reasonably rosy for plus-size ex-pop star turned Assistant Dormitory Director and sometime sleuth Heather Wells. Her freeloading ex-con dad is finally moving out. She still yearns for her hot landlord, Cooper Cartwright, but her relationship with "rebound beau," vigorous vegan math professor Tad Tocco, is more than satisfactory. Best of all, nobody has died lately in "Death Dorm," the aptly nicknamed student residence that Heather assistant-directs. Of course every silver lining ultimately has some black cloud attached. And when the latest murdered corpse to clutter up her jurisdiction turns out to be her exceedingly unlovable boss, Heather finds herself on the shortlist of prime suspects—along with the rabble-rousing boyfriend of her high-strung student assistant and an indecently handsome young campus minister who''s been accused of taking liberties with certain girls'' choir members. With fame beckoning her back into show business (as the star of a new kids'' show!) it''s a really bad time to get wrapped up in another homicide. Plus Tad''s been working himself up to ask her a Big Question, which Heather''s not sure she has an answer for . . .

Five paranormal tales of deadly danger and high school drama from New York Times–bestselling authors Stephanie Meyers, Kim Harrison, and others. Senior Prom is a magical night to remember in this short story collection. Authors Stephenie Meyer ( Twilight), Kim Harrison ( Once Dead, Twice Shy), Meg Cabot ( How to Be Popular), Lauren Myracle ( ttyl), and Michele Jaffe ( Bad Kitty) take prom mishaps to a truly hellish level. Wardrobe malfunctions and two left feet don''t hold a candle to discovering your date is the Grim Reaper—and he isn''t here to tell you how hot you look. From angels fighting demons to a twisted take on getting what you wish for, these five stories will entertain better than any DJ in a bad tux. No corsage or limo rental necessary. Just good, creepy fun.

Katie Ellison is not a liar. It''s just that telling the truth is so . . . tricky. She knows she shouldn''t be making out with a drama club hottie behind her football-player boyfriend''s back. She should probably admit that she can''t stand eating quahogs (clams), especially since she''s running for Quahog Princess in her hometown''s annual Quahog Festival. And it would be a relief to finally tell someone what really happened the night Tommy Sullivan is a freak was spray-painted on the new wall outside the junior high school gymnasium—in neon orange, which still hasn''t been sandblasted off. After all, everyone knows that''s what drove Tommy out of town four years ago. But now Tommy Sullivan has come back. Katie is sure he''s out for revenge, and she''ll do anything to hang on to her perfect (if slightly dishonest) existence. Even if it means telling more lies than ever. Even if, now that Tommy''s around, she''s actually—no lie—having the time of her life.

Victoria Growing up in far-off India, wealthy young heiress Lady Victoria Arbuthnot was accustomed to handling her own affairs -- not to mention everyone else''s. But in her sixteenth year, Vicky is unceremoniously shipped off to London to find a husband. With her usual aplomb, however, Lady Victoria gets herself engaged to the perfect English gentleman, even before setting foot on British soil. The Rogue Hugo Rothschild, ninth earl of Malfrey, is everything a girl could want in a future husband: he is handsome and worldly, if not rich. Lady Victoria has everything just as she''d like it. That is, if raffish young ship captain Jacob Carstairs would leave well enough alone. Jacob''s meddling is nothing short of exasperating, and Victoria is mystified by his persistence. But when it becomes clear that young Lord Malfrey just might not be all that he''s professed to be, Victoria is forced to admit, for the first time in her life, that she is wrong. Not only about her fiance, but about the reason behind the handsome ship captain''s interference.

The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot. Just when Mia thought she had the whole princess thing under control, things get out of hand, fast. First there’s an unexpected announcement from her mother. Then Grandmère arranges a national primetime interview for the brand-new crown princess of Genovia. On top of that, intriguing, exasperating letters from a secret admirer begin to arrive. Before she even has the chance to wonder who those letters are from, Mia is swept up in a whirlwind of royal intrigue the likes of which she’s never before witnessed. Princess in the Spotlight is the second book in the beloved, bestselling series that inspired the feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews.

That is, it usually means those things. But when you''re Princess Mia, nothing happens the way it''s supposed to. For one thing, Grandmère seems determined to prove that boy (or Michael, as he is commonly known) isn''t the right one for the crown princess of Genovia. And Mia isn''t having much luck proving otherwise, since Michael has a history of being decidedly against any kind of exploitative commercialization (Valentine''s Day, as it is commonly known). Boris can declare his love openly to Lilly, and even Kenny comes through with a paltry Whitman''s Sampler. So why can''t Michael give in to Cupid and tell Mia he loves her—preferably with something wrapped in red or pink and accompanied by roses—in time to prove he''s Mia''s true prince?

A breezy, funny Regency romance with an unforgettable heroine—from the bestselling author of The Princess Diaries series and many well-loved romances. Nicola Sparks has fallen in love, big time. The object of her dreams is the fabulously rich Lord Sebastian, he of the ice-blue eyes, golden hair, and full-on mastery of the dance floor. To Nicky, Lord S. is a god. But are gods always quite as perfect as they are meant to be? Nicola, sixteen and an orphan, always gets what she wants. She''s ready to dive headlong into her first glittering London society season. She''s also ready to dive headlong into the arms of handsome and debonair Lord Sebastian. Nicola''s dream is a proposal from the viscount—a dream she''s about to realize at last! So naturally, Nathaniel Sheridan''s insinuations about her fiancé''s flawed character annoy her mightily. But when Nicola''s natural curiosity gets the best of her, she begins to piece together a few things for herself. To her great surprise, Nicola realizes she''s had the wrong viscount all along . . . but is it too late to make things right? Nicola could feel Lord Sebastian''s heart beating. It was the most delightful feeling in the world. Surely it meant that The God liked her. More than simply liked her—loved her even. It had to! It just had to!

The fourth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot. Never before has the world seen such a princess. Nor have her own subjects, for that matter. But Genovian politics are nothing next to Mia''s real troubles. Between canceled dates with her long-sought-after royal consort, a second semester of the dreaded Algebra, more princess lessons from Grandmère, and the inability to stop gnawing on her fingernails, isn''t there anything Mia is good at besides inheriting an unwanted royal title? Princess in Waiting is the fourth book in the beloved, bestselling series that inspired the feature film starring Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews.

Shadowland is the first book in the thrilling, romantic Mediator series, from the New York Times bestselling author of the Princess Diaries, Meg Cabot. Suze is a mediator—a liaison between the living and the dead. In other words, she sees dead people. And they won''t leave her alone until she helps them resolve their unfinished business with the living. But Jesse, the hot ghost haunting her bedroom, doesn''t seem to need her help. Which is a relief, because Suze has just moved to sunny California and plans to start fresh, with trips to the mall instead of the cemetery, and surfing instead of spectral visitations. But the very first day at her new school, Suze realizes it''s not that easy. There''s a ghost with revenge on her mind...and Suze happens to be in the way. Don''t miss the delightfully funny supernatural Mediator series, from New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot.

Former pop star Heather Wells has settled nicely into her new life as assistant dorm director at New York College—a career that does not require her to drape her size 12 body in embarrassingly skimpy outfits. She can even cope (sort of) with her rocker ex-boyfriend''s upcoming nuptials, which the press has dubbed The Celebrity Wedding of the Decade. But she''s definitely having a hard time dealing with the situation in the dormitory kitchen—where a cheerleader has lost her head on the first day of the semester. (Actually, her head is accounted for—it''s her torso that''s AWOL.) Surrounded by hysterical students—with her ex-con father on her doorstep and her ex-love bombarding her with unwanted phone calls—Heather welcomes the opportunity to play detective . . . again. If it gets her mind off her personal problems—and teams her up again with the gorgeous P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives—it''s all good. But the murder trail is leading the average-sized amateur investigator into a shadowy world. And if she doesn''t watch her step, Heather will soon be singing her swan song!

Cartoonist Jane Harris is delighted by the prospect of her first-ever trip to Europe. But it''s hate at first sight for Jane and Cal Langdon, and neither is too happy at the prospect of sharing a villa with one another for a week—not even in the beautiful and picturesque Marches countryside. But when Holly and Mark''s wedding plans hit a major snag that only Jane and Cal can repair, the two find themselves having to put aside their mutual dislike for one another in order to get their best friends on the road to wedded bliss—and end up on a road themselves ... one neither of them ever expected.

Enemies come lovers when rivals find themselves facing the Alaskan wilderness together in this romantic comedy from a New York Times bestselling author. There are a few places screenwriter Lou Calabrese would rather be than crammed into a helicopter with Jack Townsend, star of her claim to fame, Copkiller, and whose ex just ran off with Lou''s ex. Talk about uncomfortable.

Now, while family and friends back home fret over her disappearance, Lou is on the run in the arctic wilderness with America''s sweetheart Jack Townsend and only the contents of her purse, his pockets, and their mutual knowledge of survival movie trivia to keep them alive. Can these two children of Hollywood put aside their differences and make it back home without killing each other? Or much, much worse, actually start to like one another?
