PRAISE FOR REVENGE PLOT:

“In Revenge Plot, an eager author finds himself snowed in with a famous literary agent at her remote Airbnb—an opportunity that will lead to dangers far more disturbing than either could’ve imagined. Wrobel’s taut, unnerving thriller explores the lengths creatives will go to reveal—or conceal—their truths. With its crackling tension, gasp-out-loud twists, and brilliant depictions of the line between passion and insanity, I couldn’t put this book down. Revenge Plot is an instant classic.”—Julia Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Session

“An elegantly deceptive Möbius strip of a thriller, Revenge Plot is two books in one, weaving in and around each other through a dazzling series of cunning, perfectly executed twists. By the time readers reach the final page, they’ll wonder whether they’ve truly arrived at the end—or been unwittingly returned to the beginning. It’s been a long time since a thriller left me this delightfully disoriented.”—Tom Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of The Treasure Hunters Club

“Cleverly structured around the courses of Christmas dinner, Wrobel’s novel begins as a straightforward cat-and-mouse game and blossoms into an insightful, sometimes poignant story about ambition, power, and grief. Publishing insiders will appreciate the morbid take on the industry, while general readers will relish Wrobel’s gift for creating tension—especially when the contents of Arnie’s manuscript are revealed. This is the author’s best yet.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Wrobel (The Hitchcock Hotel) brings her literary A-game to this double-layered puzzler that deftly mines the craft of fiction writing and the business of publishing for spectacularly entertaining results.”—Library Journal (starred review)

“Clearly inspired by the likes of Misery and other tales of obsession, revenge, and artistic integrity, Wrobel has crafted a truly madcap psychological thriller full of dark humor and delightful twists. Readers will lap up the novel’s insider publishing knowledge—and will enjoy figuring out who the truly guilty party is.”—Kirkus Reviews

ABOUT REVENGE PLOT:

All Arnie Tenderton wants this Christmas—all he’s ever wanted—is to be a published author. For decades he has toiled over one novel after another. Each was missing something. Until now.

He’s finally written his perfect book.

What he needs next is a literary agent, someone who can get his book into publishers’ hands. Not just any agent will do, of course. Arnie wants the best. Arnie wants Claudia Conley.

She already rejected him once, and Arnie has never forgiven her. He could move on. Instead, he finds out where Claudia is spending the holidays: alone in a remote house in the Catskill Mountains. He decides to show up there to make his pitch.

Claudia may try to turn him down again, but this time Arnie won’t take no for an answer.

Because his book is about her.

And he’s not leaving until the story ends the way he wants.

Their cabin is nearly off the grid, and Annie has done everything to keep them safe. Everything.


But she knows the people hunting her don't forget. And they don't forgive. Riven knows about survival.


She and her family have lived off the land for years, moving like shadows through the wilderness.


Now her father has led them to this forgotten town, tracking the man he swears destroyed their lives.


The plan is simple: strike fast, take revenge, and disappear.

PRAISE FOR PEREGRINE HILL:

“A luminous, entrancing novel...The Gilded Age springs to vivid life in these pages, but beware, for not all that glitters is gold.” —Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid series


“Peregrine Hill is my favorite kind of novel: stirring, beautifully told and utterly captivating with characters I’m still thinking about days later. I loved it.” —Clare Leslie Hall, New York Times bestselling author of Broken Country

"A luminous, entrancing novel about the extraordinary relationship between two women--one a young, wealthy matron imprisoned in her marriage; the other, a low-born maid. What unites this unlikely pair is a literary ambition that will either save them from the golden cage they exist in or doom them to servitude forever. The Gilded Age springs to vivid life in these pages, but beware, for not all that glitters is gold." —Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid series

"Fans of The Gilded Age will devour de Gramont's latest with gusto."—Library Journal (starred review)

"A delicious historical melodrama." —Kirkus

"In Peregrine Hill, the velvet curtain of the Gilded Age lifts on a society governed by wealth, reputation, and quiet coercion—a world where power belongs to men and survival demands ingenuity. Bold, atmospheric, and impossible to put down, the novel is historical fiction with real teeth. At its heart lies a deeply felt story of mothers and daughters navigating love, ambition, and survival in a world that offers them precious few good choices." —Adrienne Brodeur, bestselling author of Little Monsters and Wild Game

"Sentence by sentence, Peregrine Hill is one of the most beautiful books ever written. . . This brilliant book is precise and maternal and militant. It loves human behavior— good and bad—and sees right through to our big, broken and duplicitous hearts. A genuine triumph of a novel." —Rebecca Lee, author of Bobcat and The City Is a Rising Tide

"Historical-fiction lovers will relish the upstairs-downstairs love affairs and sneaky machinations that keep the pages turning until the surprising ending." —Booklist

"Three women struggle against Gilded Age gender constraints in this elegant tale . . . De Gramont evokes the impossible choices women of the era faced—“Who could say what desperation might convince a person to do?”—and she builds suspense from her characters’ clashing needs. It’s a stirring story of resilience." —Publishers Weekly

ABOUT PEREGRINE HILL:

At the dawn of the twentieth century, widow Isabelle Bishop still believes in love—but she knows only money can save her. After losing her husband and three of her children in a shipwreck, she has one chance to rescue what remains of her family: her daughter Mariah and her elderly mother. When Isabelle captures the attention of John Whitten, one of New York’s wealthiest men, she dares to hope that fortune might finally favor her.

But Whitten’s interest is not in Isabelle—it’s in eighteen-year-old Mariah, still reeling from a romantic but disastrous scandal. When Whitten discovers the secret mother and daughter have tried to keep buried, he uses it to his advantage, threatening to expose them unless Mariah accepts his proposal. For the sake of their survival, Isabelle makes a devil’s bargain: she will urge her daughter into a marriage she knows could destroy her.

Mariah quickly realizes her husband’s home is a gilded cage. Yet even under his watchful eye, she begins to carve out passions of her own, finding an unexpected ally in her ambitious maid, Hetty, and daring to imagine a life beyond her constricted world. Together, she and Hetty risk everything to claim a measure of power and self-determination in a world that denies them both.

From the glittering parlors of Gilded Age New York to the windswept cliffs of Rhode Island, Peregrine Hill is a novel in the tradition of Edith Wharton and the Brontë sisters, about unlikely love affairs and the impossible choices women have always been forced to make.
