The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein’s enormous shadow. It is the story of Einstein’s wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated and may have been inspired by her own profound and very personal insight.

Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most twenty-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage.

I said I’d never set foot on Oakley Island again. Not so long as he lived there…

After my life implodes, I’m reconsidering everything. Including my reasons for avoiding the first—and only—man I’ve ever loved.

I’m a high achiever. Driven. Maybe a little too driven. So when my boyfriend confesses to cheating and steals the promotion I’ve been working toward for years, I do the unthinkable for someone like me. I break.

The timing couldn’t be better for me to fall apart. I escape to the idyllic Oakley Island and oversee the renovations on my late grandmother’s estate. There’s just one tiny, massive, little problem: no one told me the contractor is the grown-up version of the boy I fell in love with years ago.

He was my first love. My first kiss. My first heartbreak. Now, I’m faced with seeing Hunter daily, being his boss, and forging a new dynamic that fits our adult selves. Hunter is bigger, bearded, talks in grunts rather than words, and has just as much hold on me as he ever did.

The trouble is Hunter’s life is on Oakley. His daughter is on Oakley. And it was never my plan to stay here permanently. Do I really want to risk having my heart broken a second time? More importantly, do I want to risk breaking his?

When the news of Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme broke, no one was more shocked than the members of his own family. Before then, Madoff’s son, Mark, and daughter- in-law, Stephanie, had built an idyllic life. Yet, while Mark’s thriving business was entirely separate from his father’s now notorious fund, he and Stephanie found themselves in the eye of the storm—and grappling with their own sense of betrayal. Mark refused to see or speak to his parents, and on the second anniversary of his father’s arrest, he hanged himself.

Left to raise her children as a single mother, Stephanie tells the real story of her marriage to Mark, of being a part of the Madoff family, and of life for two years following her father-in-law’s arrest and incarceration. The End of Normal is a searing inside look at one of the most controversial stories of our time, and an extraordinary memoir of surviving personal tragedy amid public scandal.

Being stuck in a time loop sucks, especially when I die on the same day, at the hands of the same man, over and over again. But in Life Number Seven, I’m determined to change my fate.

You’d think being the princess of all shifters would come with benefits and glamour and freedom–it doesn’t. It comes with isolation, constant fear, and a fabric over my head the whole damn time.

Nobody will believe me or lift a finger to help me figure out why I’m stuck in this loop, not even my father, the dragon king. If I dare to even mention it to him, I end up with a bloody lip. Yeah, he’s a very hard man to talk to. That’s why I have no other choice but to switch places with my maid and run away.

But things don’t exactly go as planned when I’m kidnapped and find myself a captor of my father’s sworn enemy. Just my luck.

Lucien Di Laurier is a cocky bastard who thinks I’m an object to be owned. It doesn’t help that he’s impossibly beautiful, and can literally control the air in my lungs with a wave of his hand. He wants to get his revenge on the king, and that’s why he’s after the princess…never realizing that I’m right there, in his home, pretending to be my maid. He vows to break me until I tell him all of my secrets, but…

That still doesn’t stop me.

He’d kill me if he finds out my name. He’d probably do worse things before that, but I can’t help myself. He’s everything I was never allowed to have. He’s blinding light and passion and life, the perfect mistake wrapped up in a pretty ribbon, just for me.

So I take what I can get even knowing how it will all end…
