The backup bride proposal / by Burton, Jaci,author.;
Bellini Weddings has agreed to allow a production company to film a movie at Red Moss Vineyards. It will be great PR for both the vineyard and the wine and wedding businesses. Mae Wallace, who works for the Bellini family, is thrilled with the possibility of new business. What she isn't thrilled with is actor Kane August, who she finds crashing one of the weddings. He tells her it's research for the movie, but she finds him overconfident and annoying. Kane August is rarely surprised by anything--until he meets Mae Wallace.

And, unexpectedly, he realizes that he's letting her in, too, something he hasn't done with anyone before.

When Kane takes her to his family's ranch in Texas, Mae discovers a whole new side to him, learning about the heart and soul of a kind and gentle man. And as they grow closer, her guard goes up. Once burned, she has no intention of falling in love ever again, despite this very hot and sexy guy who's trying his best to turn her world upside down and work his way through the steely wall she's built.

The lost letters from Martha's Vineyard : a novel / by Callahan, Michael,1963-author.;
In 1959, Hollywood ingenue Mercy Welles seems to have the world at her feet. Far removed from her Nebraska roots, she has crafted herself into a glamorous Oscar-nominated actress engaged to an up-and-coming director ... Until she shockingly vanishes without a trace, just as her career is taking off. Almost sixty years later, Kit O'Neill, a junior television producer in Manhattan, is packing up her recently deceased grandmother's attic, only to discover a long-lost box of souvenirs that reveal that the grandmother who raised her and her sister was, in fact, the mysterious Mercy Welles. Putting her investigative skills to use, Kit is determined to solve the riddle of her grandmother's missing life, and the trail eventually leads to Martha's Vineyard. Mercy retreats to the island nursing a broken heart, only to be drawn to the roguish Ren Sewards, who is not just the simple oysterman he appears to be but a scion of one of the island's wealthy founding families. With her attraction to Ren quickly growing, Mercy soon finds herself entangled in the intrigues of the tightly knit community and the secrets of the Sewards. Alternating between Mercy and Kit's timelines, including excerpts from letters Mercy wrote the summer she disappeared, The Lost Letters from Martha's Vineyard unfurls into a heart-stopping story of love, betrayal, and even murder.

Includes bibliographical references."Her rise, her triumph, her tragic loss -- only James Patterson can tell the full story of America's tragedy. In the early hours of Sunday, August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe's live-in housekeeper wakes with a sinking feeling. She knocks loudly at her employer's locked bedroom door, and when there is no answer, she calls Monroe's psychiatrist, Ralph Greenson. Greenson breaks into Monroe's bedroom and finds a horrifying scene: the thirty-six-year-old movie star lying naked, lifeless, face down on her bed, still clutching the telephone receiver. At 4:20 a.m., Greenson alerts the LAPD. It is established protocol for the chief medical examiner to conduct celebrity autopsies, but inexplicably, junior medical examiner Dr. Thomas Noguchi performs the procedure on the five-four, 118-pound actress. "When you are a coroner," Noguchi believes, "you start from the assumption that every body you examine might be a murder victim." In those final summer days, did Marilyn Monroe have more enemies than friends?"--

Softly, as I leave you : life after Elvis / by Presley, Priscilla,1945-author.; Ross, Mary Jane,author.;
"Since first publishing her best-selling memoir, "Elvis and Me," in 1985, life hasn't slowed down a wink for Priscilla Presley. In addition to launching new business ventures and helping turn Graceland into one of the nation's most popular tourist attractions, she's starred in a number of film and TV shows, produced several more, and dedicated time and energy to a number of charitable endeavors, including the Dream Foundation. However, that hasn't stopped Hollywood from releasing a number of films (most recently, Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" in 2022 and Sofia Coppola's "Priscilla" in 2023) seeking to capitalize on the complicated relationship she shared with her ex-husband. Priscilla has mostly held her tongue up to this point -- but now she wants to regain control of her own narrative. In this new memoir, Priscilla Presley seizes her last chance to speak to Elvis fans about lingering questions regarding his legacy and everything that's happened to her since the first book published. She reveals never-before-shared behind-the-scenes truths in these pages, including Elvis' trials and tribulations in Hollywood; his desire to turn Graceland into a sanctuary and away from his public role and his grueling last days; the devastating impact of the death of her mother-in-law; Elvis's affair with Ann-Margret and its aftermath; among others. She also dives into the lives of their children and grandchildren, including her daughter's marriage to Michael Jackson, as well as her tragic addictions and death; the heartbreaking loss of her grandson; the role Scientology played in the family's life and why she left it; her thoughts on current films depicting the life she shared with Elvis; and much, much more. Packed with revelations and written in riveting prose, Priscilla's new memoir will be the definitive statement on her extraordinary life -- and it will shed new light on one of the most famous legacies in modern entertainment history"--
