Two years after Zara's sister and her boyfriend were killed in a plane crash, the last person Zara expected to show up on her doorstep was Preston's father, Alistair Wilde. Yet, there he is, with an offer Zara may not be able to pass up: be his son's girlfriend for three months, live with the two of them in a remote house, and one million dollars is hers for the taking. The challenge turns out to be harder than she ever expected. Nash isn't just wild, he's dangerous. And Alistair is far more broken than he lets the world believe. The three of them are bound by grief. Only Zara can feed Nash's hunger and heal Alistair's pain. Lines are crossed. Rules are broken. On the island, there's no one to tell them this is wrong. And now she'll have to choose before she tears their family apart.

Pip, a poor orphan being raised by a cruel sister, does not have much in the way of great expectations—until he is inexplicably elevated to wealth by an anonymous benefactor. Full of unforgettable characters—including a terrifying convict named Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Havisham, and her beautiful but manipulative niece, Estella, Great Expectations is a tale of intrigue, unattainable love, and all of the happiness money can’t buy. “Great Expectations has the most wonderful and most perfectly worked-out plot for a novel in the English language,” according to John Irving, and J. Hillis Miller declares, “Great Expectations is the most unified and concentrated expression of Dickens’s abiding sense of the world, and Pip might be called the archetypal Dickens hero.”
