Summer is made for flings.But what if this one's meant for more? After years away, college student Cassie Soul is back in Avalon Bay, excited to spend time with family, ring in her twenty-first birthday . . . and maybe find herself a summer fling. On her first night in town, she finds the perfect candidate: Tate Bartlett, the fun-loving golden boy. Tate is no stranger to flings. In fact, he's always down for a good time. Yet the moment he meets Cassie, he knows she's not a girl you play games with. Gorgeous, hilarious and, frankly, the coolest person he's ever met - the last thing he wants to do is risk breaking her heart, and so he reluctantly puts her in the friend-zone. But when his attraction to Cassie becomes impossible to ignore, he realises he wants that fling. Big-time. And maybe even something more. As Cassie and Tate walk the line between friends and lovers, they discover that their situation is the least complicated part of this equation. Because Avalon Bay is full of secrets - and their relationship might not survive when those secrets come to light.Praise for Good Girl Complex 'Deliciously sexy' Vi Keeland, New York Times bestselling author 'Impossible to put down' L.

Michael Cunningham brings together his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel with the masterpiece that inspired it, Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway.In The Hours, the acclaimed author Michael Cunningham draws inventively on the life and work of Virginia Woolf and the story of her novel, Mrs. Dalloway, to tell the story of a group of contemporary characters struggling with the conflicting claims of love and inheritance, hope and despair. In this edition, Cunningham brings his own Pulitzer Prize-winning novel together with Woolf's masterpiece, which has long been hailed as a groundbreaking work of literary fiction and one of the finest novels written in English.The two novels, published side by side with a new introduction by Cunningham, display the extent of their affinity, and each illuminates new facets of the other in this joint volume. In his introduction, Cunningham re-creates the wonderment of his first encounter with Mrs. Dalloway at fifteen-as he writes, "I was lost. I was gone. I never recovered." With this edition, Cunningham allows us to disappear into the world of Woolf and into his own brilliant mind.
