Accepting the lead role in a rom-com about a runaway bride was my chance to shed the "former child star" label and revive my career. Little did I know that the onscreen sparks with my co-star would ignite a whirlwind off-screen romance. But moments before our real-life wedding, I took inspiration from my movie counterpart, followed my gut, and made a run for it. I arrived at The Hideaway in my wedding dress, hoping a few tranquil days at the resort would help me decide if returning to the chaos of Hollywood—and my relationship—is what I truly want. But a spa appointment mix-up with a gorgeous face from the past leaves me more confused than ever. Xavier It’s been six years since I’ve seen Emmy Santos in person, and not a day’s gone by that I haven’t thought about her.

My sister insisted I come to The Hideaway to unplug and learn how to relax. I wonder what would happen if she knew that her best friend is the one offering me a captivating distraction for my restless hands… Each book in The Hideaway series is a steamy, stand-alone romance with NO cliffhanger and an HEA.

Can a thirst-trapping pastry chef find the perfect recipe to win the heart of the grumpy hotel reviewer in the room next door? Monica As a luxury hotel reviewer for a travel firm catering to VIPs, rubbing elbows with the rich and famous in world-class resorts across the globe is just part of the job. It takes a lot to impress me these days, and if we’re being honest, I’d rather be at home in a cozy robe, indulging in my favorite obsession: binge-watching baking shows. But life has other plans. Plans that include rooming next to the 6’4” pastry chef of my dreams while on my latest work assignment. I’ve spent hours admiring the thirst traps he posts online, but nothing compares to seeing those chiseled abs in person. Philippe Nothing can prepare you for a whirlwind rise to fame. One minute, I’m posting shirtless videos of myself showcasing my chocolate confections, and the next, I’m judging televised baking competitions and walking the red carpet. After two non-stop years of always being on, a three-week holiday at an exclusive Hawaiian beach resort sounds like heaven. Instead of worrying about my “brand,” I get to focus on myself. But when Monica, the enticing woman in the room next to mine, seems to be immune to my charms, I have something new to focus on… This book is a steamy, stand-alone contemporary romance with NO cliffhanger and a HFN suitable for ages 18+.

How far will a shy wordsmith go to inspire a desperate rock star plagued by writer’s block? Cleo Being the introverted twin of a mega famous pop star is a special kind of hell—especially since it’s the stolen poems from my journal that turned my sister into a household name. I’m fine being Kennedy’s assistant, and it’s amazing to hear fans sing my words every night, but I wish I could step out of her shadow, just once. A quiet week alone at the sun-kissed Hideaway resort is exactly what I need after months on tour. I’m ready to leave behind the chaos that comes with being “Kennedy’s sister” and just be Cleo Maxwell for a while. At least I was, until Benji Prescott, the heartbreakingly handsome ex-boybander I’ve crushed on for over a decade, knocks on my villa door and asks for songwriting help, mistaking me for my sister. Benji It’s been five years since I’ve had a hit song. Five years of imposter syndrome and pressure to show my label I’m not some one-hit wonder. After taking time out of the limelight to rediscover my passion for music, I’m determined to prove everyone wrong. There’s just one thing—I can’t come up with a decent song to save my life. I came to The Hideaway seeking a cure for my creative block, but I found something—someone—even better. Kennedy Maxwell is nothing like I expected; she’s insightful, authentic, and there’s something about her that’s just so damn seductive. It’s hard to stay focused on the music when I can’t stop thinking about the dirty things I’d like to do to her… Each book in The Hideaway series is a steamy, stand-alone romance with NO cliffhanger and an HEA.

‘The Hideaway by Pam Smy is a work of art. Smy is the genius writer and illustrator of the stunning Thornhill. Smy takes children’s books to another level. Highly recommend.’ - David Walliams The wonderful long-awaited second novel from Pam Smy, celebrated author and illustrator of Thornhill. The Hideaway tells the story of a boy, Billy McKenna, who runs away from a difficult situation at home and takes refuge in an overgrown graveyard. While hiding there he meets an elderly man who is tending the graves in preparation for a day in November when something magical is set to happen. The book is written in two alternating narratives, both different aspects of the same story. One thread tells of Billy's experience of hiding away in the graveyard, his mixed-up feelings and emotions, and the supernatural events he eventually witnesses. The other tells of his mother's situation at home and the police search for Billy. Covering themes of family, childhood, separation and reunion, domestic violence and doing the right thing, this is an important and beautiful book for middle grade readers right up to adults. Billy's story is illustrated throughout with tonal and textured black and white drawings, until the event on All Souls' Eve, when the text gives way to a series of double page images of the supernatural happening. The Hideaway is a compelling, exciting and emotional story that will stay with you long after you finish the last page.

Early in the 1900s, one-time oil baron Henry Morrison Flagler took interest in the Southern coast of Florida and began developing an exclusive resort community. Establishing a railroad that would allow easier access to the area, he went on to build two hotels—his hope was that America’s first families would come to populate the area. This modest community would later evolve into an iconic American destination, hosting British royalty, American movie stars, and becoming the home-away-from-home to some of the country’s leading families. As the century continued, Palm Beach established itself as a luxury hideaway synonymous with old-world glamour and new-world sophistication. In this splendid volume, longtime resident and Palm Beach social fixture Aerin Lauder takes us through her Palm Beach. From favorite restaurants like Nandos and Renatos, to favorite houses like La Follia and Villa Artemis, she takes us to the elite shopping of Worth Avenue and the scenic walkways of the Lake Worth trail, all the while relating to us the histories, faces, and places that have become so identified with Palm Beach.
