After being transported back to the Roaring Twenties, our main character becomes immersed in the quiet life of the countryside, leaving behind the stunts and adventures with gangsters in order to hide herself from the many admirers of the famous Rodolfo Valentino. This tranquillity, however, will be turned upside down by a certain desire of Anna's, which she will eventually express on the day of her 30th wedding anniversary. Without interruption, she will be transported through time and through countless adventures, to rediscover something that she would never think to be possible to witness with her own eyes: to come into personal contact with a past shrouded in mystery and to forever be an object of interest to the fans of Valentino. Each time period for the main character acts as a subway stop, where the destinations are not represented by places, but instead by years. Who wouldn't want to get to know, up close and personal, the life of the great lover? The amazement of travelling through time, accompanied with many invigorating skirmishes between the two protagonists, is still one of the key elements throughout the course of the novel. After "Valentino and I – Timeless Love" and "My Fabulous Roaring Twenties", the "Valentino and I" trilogy finishes with "Walking Through life". But this is just a quick goodbye, as the mystery lies right around the corner.

“Valentino & I" alternates between reality and fantasy, love and intrigue without time. The novel is a contemporary diary where everything changes and nothing is what it seems. Anna will get to know Rudolph Valentino, and together they live a passion rich of adventure, fun and humour, the story will leave the reader breathless to the very last page.

When I started this book, I couldn't keep help wondering if I was doing it the right way. After all, it was so very different from the other books. One afternoon, I ran into Shirley MacLaine in a florist shop in Malibu. She'd never seen my Malibu place, so I invited her over. While we were having a drink, I discovered she had just completed her book Dancing in the Light. ""What a coincidence,"" I said. ""I'm just starting to write my fourth book."" She described a private place she had up in Washington, where she liked to sit outside, particularly when it was raining. She would sit under an umbrella and jot down the material in longhand. The solace and quietude of the place were very inspiring to writing in this personal style. I told here I was doing mine in longhand, as well, just as if I was writing a letter to someone. She smiled encouragingly. ""But that's exactly how you should do it ""So here it is a very personal letter from me to you, sharing an intimate glimpse into The Wonderful Private World of Liberace.""

When two hot, haute heroines team up to solve a murder, neither can afford to be fashionably late. No one expected to find a dead girl in the Royal Suite at the Babylon’s posh London club. Who would kill her? And why? With little to go on and no friends to rely on, Lucky O’Toole, the Babylon’s Chief Problem Solver, is dispatched to…well, to solve the problem. But she needs to be in Paris. Her fiancé—and, worse, his mother—are counting on her presence at a party in her honor in seventy-two hours, more or less. With a personal-life time-bomb ticking, Lucky hopes for a quick solution. A mystery woman, seen leaving the Royal Suite just before the girl’s body is discovered, attracts Lucky’s attention. She has to be the key… On loan to the CIA, assassin Donna Stone Craig and her crack black-ops team have stepped into a viper’s nest.

Then a very important source Donna is to meet at the Babylon London Club winds up dead. And the young woman’s intel—bearing incredible global consequences—is encrypted. She was the only one who could give Donna the cipher, and she’s dead. Surely someone else would know. But, who? It’s easy to see why Acme’s prime suspect is the tall brunette who acts like she owns the place. Lucky O’Toole shows up at the wrong time, and in the wrong place. But before Donna and Lucky can find the right answers, they must overcome their reservations and resolve their differences. But can they learn to trust each other before the real killer gets away? They have to. Their lives—and world peace—depend on it.

PRAISE FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ASSASSIN GETS LUCKY “Pure fun. First off, what a hoot to see two excellent crime novelists get together on a project. And then to have it come off so smooth...and entertainment? Yep, it's a fun romp. You'll be laughing while you turn the pages.”" "Ms. Coonts and Ms. Brown seamlessly intertwine the two separate characters and the combined story so that you follow the developments with laughter and suspense until the brilliant conclusion. This was such a unique idea to have the two separate characters meet and be involved in one story. If you have not read both authors you will feel comfortable as the they have provided enough backstory that you will not feel lost. The writing…the characters…great read! " “Perfect marriage of two great series. A funny murder mystery with a political side, a helping of rom-com and a relatable mom-com. The two authors combine all these elements and the two sets of characters seamlessly and still continue to develop the characters. I couldn't put it down. Two sassy leading ladies (winging it on the best way) for the price of one!" "Donna and Lucky in the same book?! How can that possibly work? Well not only does it work it's more than I could have expected. The way the characters POV never interrupted the story and it never felt disjointed, you can tell this was a labor of love for both authors. Well done!! Or as the Brits say bloody good job!: "What a great book. I have read all of the Lucky books but this was my first exposure to the Housewife Assassin. I was so impressed with the writing of Josie Brown that I purchased the first five series of the book. Plan to get them all. Could not put the book down. So much action. Could not wait for Lucky and Donna to meet. Hope these two authors collaborate on another book soon." "A brilliant collaboration! These two plucky, powerful women are thrown into each other’s paths and an exciting time is to be had. I can see these characters coming together again!"

Engage using #manrepeller. Silk parachute pants. A gold lamé jumpsuit. Ankle boots with fringe. Were these fashion-forward items sending men running in the opposite direction? Maybe, but Leandra Medine never cared. Slipping into drop-crotch shorts and a boxed sequin blazer in the dressing room of Topshop in downtown Manhattan, a brokenhearted Leandra had an epiphany. Looking in the mirror, she suddenly realized she didn't have a boyfriend because of the way she dressed. And the more she thought about it, the more she realized that such outfits said a lot about her life-romantic and otherwise. Now, in her first book, the acclaimed blogger and fashion darling recounts her most significant memories through the lens of her sartorial choices. With her signature sass, blunt honesty, and some personal photos, Leandra shares details of the night she lost her virginity right down to the pair of white tube socks she forgot to take off, as well as when and why she realized her grandma's vintage Hermès ostrich skin clutch could hold much more than just keys and a cell phone. Through it all, she proves you don't need to compromise even your most repellent qualities to find your way into that big white dress (and an organza moto jacket). See? You can have your yeti and wear it, too. Showcasing the singular voice that has won Leandra millions of fans, this book is a collection of awkwardly funny experiences, a sweet love story, and above all, a reminder to celebrate and embrace a world made for women, by women.
