Mari never gave much thought to the afterlife before her untimely demise, but she certainly didn’t think it would be an experimental wellness enclave called Paradise Gate—a place where the newly dead go to sort out the unfinished business of their lives. She also didn’t think the biggest problem to plague her in life would follow her into the great beyond: her also recently deceased mother, Faye. Mari quickly realizes Faye is her unfinished business, and in order to move on to whatever’s next, she’ll have to find a way to forgive her dysfunctional mother for being no mother at all. But there’s so much to forgive: never holding down a steady job, never having a stable home, and abandoning Mari in the end.

James Anderson had a plan. Or half of one. All that matters is that he managed to do what his older brother, the famous Aaron Warner Anderson, never did: infiltrate Ark Island, the last refuge of The Reestablishment. In the past decade no outsider has breached the stronghold of the authoritarian regime, but James is in. In a prison cell, sure, but as far as James is concerned, a win is a win. It’s been ten years since the fall of The Reestablishment. Ten years since the notorious duo—Juliette Ferrars and Aaron Warner Anderson—led a worldwide rebellion and established the New Republic of the West. But after a decade of unsettling quiet, The Reestablishment is ready to make a devastating move, and they have the perfect person for the job. Rosabelle Wolff had a plan. She always has a plan. On Ark Island, where constant surveillance is packaged as security, even emotions must be experienced with caution. A trained assassin, her every movement is monitored by synthetic intelligence—and when she’s given an order to kill, she never hesitates.

HALLIE A los once años, mi familia se mudó al lado de la suya. A los trece, fue mi primer amor. A los dieciséis, nos enamoramos el uno del otro. Y a los diecinueve, nos rompimos mutuamente el corazón. Seis años después, he conseguido unas prácticas con un famoso diseñador de interiores en otra ciudad. Por desgracia, la misma en la que él juega al hockey. Pensaba que Chicago era lo suficientemente grande como para evitarlo, hasta que me llevo la sorpresa de mi vida y, sin saberlo, me mudo justo a la puerta de al lado. ¿Lo peor? El proyecto de reforma que me han asignado, con el que espero convertir esas prácticas en el trabajo a tiempo completo de mis sueños… … es su casa. Pero ¿cómo se supone que voy a transformar su nidito de soltero en un hogar familiar cuando ni siquiera soportamos estar en la misma habitación? Puede que una vez amara a Rio DeLuca, pero ya no soy esa chica. RIO Nunca pensé que sería el último soltero de mi grupo de amigos. Pero tras años intentando encontrar el amor, he llegado a la conclusión de que quizá ya no exista para mí. Eso hasta que, sin querer, contrato a Hallie Hart para que reforme mi casa y nuestra vieja historia me hace evocar recuerdos que he mantenido en secreto durante años. A ver, hay algo que mis amigos no saben. Esa conexión que perseguía desde que me mudé a Chicago, esa persona a la que algunos buscan durante toda la vida... Yo ya la había encontrado a los doce años. Y, ahora, la única chica a la que he amado se muda a la casa de al lado. Otra vez.
