“We’re attracted to each other. The question is…” He leaned closer and I smelled the mix of his cologne with the unmistakable scent of danger. “What are we going to do about it?”

“We’re at work, Mick. We can’t…get involved.”

“Best new book to read.”—New York Post

“... a wonderfully witty chronicle of awkward first dates, with Avalie slowly coming to understand what makes a relationship work, guided along the way by a supportive network of friends.... Abedi’s emotionally charged portrait of what it takes to heal from heartache resonates. It’s an uplifting ode to self-love.” ­—Publisher’s Weekly

Newly heartbroken, a woman embarks on a glamorized summer of couch surfing to rediscover herself and learns that though life may not go according to plan, there is magic in the unexpected.

Avalie Monfared has a theory about saying “I Do”—that the magic ends there. After thirteen years of magic-free marriage to her high school sweetheart, she’s discovered where it went: gambling and prostitutes.

Now, Ava is on a quest to rediscover herself—and men. Her soul-searching finds her living on a succession of friends’ and family’s couches, which happen to be in some of the most luxurious zip codes in and around Los Angeles. What follows is an unpredictable summer full of shamans, attack birds, awkward dates, sizzling flirtations, and unsolicited advice—especially from her traditional Persian family members, who are eager to see her remarried. With every laugh-out-loud adventure in each locale, Ava finds more solace and wisdom. And while it’s not how she planned to spend the last year of her thirties, Ava learns that there is power in letting go.

You can run, my sweet, but I’ll always find you,” a deep voice echoed, sending a delicious shudder down my spine.

This was it, the thing I’d been dreading.

“My betrothed.”

I was betrothed to the king.

Nineteen-year-old Princess Iza is fresh off a break-up when she receives an invitation to The King’s Royal Ball. To her shock, sparks fly the moment she lays eyes on the seductive King Narcissus. Suddenly, they become entangled in a whirlpool of passion, danger, and jealousy. Can Iza become a great queen? Or will the secrets harbored by the royal court poison the throne?

This is a reimagining of The Lycan's Queen, which was written with the blessing of the author.

Miriam returns to her late grandmother’s hilltop property in an Italian village to inspect a shuttered restaurant—only to learn the relaunch is already underway. Agnese, her grandmother’s formidable friend, has hired a chef with his own key: Manny, the blunt stranger from the market. With eight weeks to recreate Lucia’s legendary Sunday ragu, Miriam’s careful plans collide with Manny’s instinctive cooking—and the town’s secrets, memories, and appetites start pulling them both in.
