SUMMARY:CANCELED - Pamela Kelley and Jessica Everett Author Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation and signing with authors Pamela Kelley and Jessica Everett to celebrate the release of their summer novels. \nAre you looking for your next Summer Read? The Purple Couch is excited to welcome both Pamela Kelley and Jessica Everett to celebrate the release of their new novels. A conversation and Q&A with the author will be followed by a signing. Tax inclusive tickets include the copy of one of the books\, and you have the option to preorder the other as well. \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS \nIn Nantucket Second Chances\, USA today and WSJ Bestselling Author Pamela Kelley Invites readers to glorious Nantucket\, the perfect backdrop for your summer beach read. \nReturning to beautiful Nantucket\, single mom Claire Shipman finds friendship\, family ties\, new beginnings and second chances. Claire never imagined she’d be the single mom of a teenager\, going through a contentious divorce\, and unexpectedly pregnant. On the bright side\, at least she’s on Nantucket\, where she grew up\, and where her mom welcomes her home with open arms. \nFor years\, Claire lived an enviable Manhattan lifestyle. Now her ex had a marriage-ending affair and also lost all their money. Claire’s high school friends invite her to their book club and encourage her idea to start selling high-end designer bags\, fashions\, and quality tourist items. Her former career as a fashion journalist will stand her in good stead. Claire names her new venture Nantucket Second Chances\, and rents the perfect space off Main St. from local custom furniture creator\, Cody\, who proves to be a good friend\, and perhaps something more. Amidst beautiful Nantucket’s changing seasons\, nurtured by community and family\, there couldn’t be a better place to start over. \nPamela Kelley lives in a historic seaside town near Cape Cod and just south of Boston. She has always been an avid reader of women’s fiction\, romance\, mysteries\, thrillers and cook books. There’s also a good chance you might get hungry when you read her books as she is a foodie\, and occasionally shares a recipe or two. \nWith a pinch of Lessons in Chemistry and a dash of J. Courtney Sullivan’s Maine\, Jessica Everett’s Last Summer at Maine Chance takes readers to 1950s Maine\, to a time when a real Elizabeth Arden spa operated in a rural lake town\, where one summer working as a maid will teach a college economics student more than any classroom ever could. \nJessica Everett loves research\, fountain pens\, and throwing parties. A nearly life-long resident of New Hampshire\, she lives with her family and a precocious poodle named Sam. Last Summer at Maine Chance is her historical fiction debut. She happily spends summers in Maine\, a place her family has called home since the 1600s.

SUMMARY:Romance Author Emily Martin - Winner Takes All
DESCRIPTION:Author Emily Martin joins us to discuss her new book\, Winner Takes All\, described as Book Lovers meets The Hangover. \n\n\nWhen two rival music executives wake up married in Las Vegas with no memory of tying the knot\, they have to recreate their night together while competing to sign the band of their dreams in this smart and sexy rom-com that combines Book Lovers with The Hangover. \nWe’re looking forward to welcoming author Emily Martin to celebrate the release of her debut Romance: Winner Takes All. A conversation and Q&A with the author will be followed by a signing. Tax inclusive tickets are $19.13 and include your copy of the book. \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS \nTalent scout Eleanor Thompson arrives in Las Vegas with one goal: sign the popular alt-rock group Dempsey to her record label and subsequently save her job. Unfortunately for her\, Adam Shaw—former colleague and the man who recently poached the top performing artist from Eleanor’s roster—has the same idea. When Adam crashes Eleanor’s dinner meeting with the band\, it sets them off on a night of shot-fueled one-upmanship that ends with matching wedding rings. Some people might be able to laugh off a drunken Vegas marriage\, but Eleanor and Adam are not some people. \nThey soon realize annulments are a lot easier to get on TV\, especially when you factor in a missing ID\, a run-in with casino security\, and a band still expecting to be wooed before hitting the stage for the final show of their national tour. \nWith only a few hours until the party where Dempsey plans to announce their new record label\, Eleanor and Adam embark on a wild dash around Vegas to fix the previous night’s mistakes. Between meeting an attorney in the back of a strip club\, getting blackmailed into playing the newlywed game\, and a surprisingly deep moment outside a karaoke bar\, Eleanor and Adam begin to fall for one another. Do they dare place a bet on love? Or will they keep their cards close?
