Vera Bellington has beauty, pedigree, and a penthouse at The Angelus--the most coveted address on Park Avenue. But behind the sparkling social whirl, Vera is living a life of quiet desperation. Her days are an unbroken loop of empty, champagne-soaked socializing, while her nights are silent and cold, spent waiting alone in her cavernous apartment for a husband who seldom comes home. Then Emil Hallan arrives at The Angelus to paint a mural above its glittering subterranean pool. The handsome French artist moves into the building, shrouds his work in secrecy, and piques Vera's curiosity, especially when the painter keeps dodging questions about his past. Is he the man he claims to be? Even as she finds herself increasingly drawn to Hallan's warmth and passion, Vera can't suppress her suspicions. After all, she has plenty of secrets, too--and some of them involve art forgers like her bold, artistically talented former friend, Bea, who years ago, at Vassar, brought Vera to the brink of catastrophe and social exile. When the dangerous mysteries of Emil's past are revealed, Vera faces an impossible choice--whether to cling to her familiar world of privilege and propriety or to risk her future with the enigmatic man who has taken her heart. A Fine Imitation explores what happens when we realize that the life we've always led is not the life we want to have.",2016,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7ccd6ghhjhs09vn9hqzsrc.jpg?v=a8d8123ca4","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx7ccd5vrvvvwet49901wbtj.png?v=f60c407457","LA9j.K00_MniH@%fIVt7f8tQM{%f",0,312,355,"complete",false,true,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":7},"01kx7ccd66dt5ye9h69xevz56r","amber-brock-0mmk","Amber Brock","author",[27,31,35],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},4,"Romance","romance",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},9,"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},34,"Historical Romance","historical-romance",[],[],[42,46,49,53],{"id":43,"name":44,"type":45},"01kjq6yq7bb20z9mdwg86230sa","Historical","subject",{"id":47,"name":48,"type":45},"01kjq6wyetsw6tpbsv85znafm0","Literary",{"id":50,"name":51,"type":52},"01kkw43tvpdv9vw8315yz3xk78","Women","place",{"id":54,"name":55,"type":45},"01kmt7dczght1cyeqhz0c76ssk","City Life",[],[58,68],{"id":59,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":60,"format_label":61,"page_count":62,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":63,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":64,"asin":7,"publisher":65,"language":10,"quality_score":66,"submission_status":67},"01kx7ccd6ghhjhs09vn9hqzsrc","kindle","Kindle",320,"2016-05-03","9781101905128","Random House Digital Inc.",10,"approved",{"id":69,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":70,"format_label":71,"page_count":72,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":73,"cover_url":74,"cover_blurhash":7,"isbn_13":75,"asin":7,"publisher":76,"language":10,"quality_score":66,"submission_status":67},"01kx7ccd6amv42wfysm1b7d7fk","hardcover","Hardcover",304,"2016","https:\u002F\u002Fimages.isbndb.com\u002Fcovers\u002F8512913482580.jpg","9781101905111","Crown Publishers",{"summary":7,"pace":78,"complexity":79,"complexity_score":80,"audience":81,"mood":82,"themes":86,"setting_period":7,"content_warnings":87},"moderate","dense",7,"adult",[83,84,85],"romantic","melancholic","nostalgic",[],[88,89],"substance-abuse","trauma",{"id":59,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":60,"format_label":61,"page_count":62,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"publish_date":63,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":64,"asin":7,"publisher":65,"language":10},[],"2026-07-11T01:24:00.000000Z",[94,144,180,217,252,280,315,344,372,396],{"id":95,"slug":96,"title":97,"description":98,"primary_cover_url":99,"cover_blurhash":100,"first_publish_year":101,"community_rating_avg":102,"community_rating_count":66,"page_count":103,"authors":104,"genres":109,"series":136,"enrichment":137},"01kjq7eyj52mbckbdar8rqvqsv","romeo-and-juliet-nsnd","Romeo and Juliet","In the streets of Verona, two great households — the Montagues and the Capulets — are locked in an ancient, bitter feud that erupts into violence at the slightest provocation.

At an international relief camp, she finds her calling and a new love in the form of Parker Williams, a doctor from Doctors Without Borders; as they work together, she tries to hide her feelings and identity from him until, in one shocking moment, her life changes forever.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2dqb5h9ad8g9pa25qsya3r.jpg?v=2ab803157d","LZSrcTuPsp%NxbtlR*R5V?ogj]oy",2006,336,[354,358],{"id":355,"slug":356,"name":357},"01kjwtc8keh6e3h942vwc1s2cq","danielle-steel-p6fj","Danielle Steel",{"id":359,"slug":360,"name":361},"01kv4mrkbc064gtmjsj9reyht1","victoria-alonso-blanco-ujbg","Victoria Alonso Blanco",[363,364,365],{"id":302,"name":303,"slug":304,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":368,"themes":370,"setting_period":7,"summary":348,"content_warnings":7},[83,369],"emotional",[142,371,279,216],"fish-out-of-water",{"id":373,"slug":374,"title":375,"description":376,"primary_cover_url":377,"cover_blurhash":378,"first_publish_year":379,"community_rating_avg":152,"community_rating_count":153,"page_count":380,"authors":381,"genres":386,"series":391,"enrichment":392},"01kx2h1tp3c44pgcje63bqqzbj","family-tree-n6yr","Family Tree","When a white couple gives birth to a baby with distinctly black features, a family is thrown into turmoil.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2h1tq5pwwk8kxz75cza5tc.jpg?v=539951e887","LaMsH7Ayf4oH%j?ZaKM|B_Ngs.WA",2007,432,[382],{"id":383,"slug":384,"name":385},"01kp13y5b6pzf2rxj9hxyfe9e6","barbara-delinsky-92i6","Barbara Delinsky",[387,388,389,390],{"id":302,"name":303,"slug":304,"is_fiction":19},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":393,"themes":395,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[369,394],"tense",[],{"id":397,"slug":398,"title":399,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":400,"cover_blurhash":401,"first_publish_year":402,"community_rating_avg":102,"community_rating_count":153,"page_count":403,"authors":404,"genres":409,"series":412,"enrichment":413},"01kx2fva84ha8nhc2kggexcnmw","the-comfort-of-lies-72aj","The comfort of lies","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2fva9t9zp6ymdf4sf68fdc.jpg?v=a259658cf8","L8NJ%j4n4T%h0000AI_N030L.S%L",2012,344,[405],{"id":406,"slug":407,"name":408},"01kx2fva8fgzshfm4nf3ey6wpx","randy-susan-meyers-3mxb","Randy Susan Meyers",[410,411],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":414,"themes":415,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[83,369],[],[417,578,719],{"key":418,"params":419,"works":420},"genre_year",{"genre":33,"year":9},[421,446,490,517,538,551],{"id":422,"slug":423,"title":424,"description":425,"primary_cover_url":426,"cover_blurhash":427,"first_publish_year":428,"community_rating_avg":429,"community_rating_count":430,"page_count":431,"authors":432,"genres":437,"series":442,"enrichment":443},"01kkc5ed0vp8f0em6gs5n756m9","my-grandmother-asked-me-to-tell-you-shes-sorry-biti","My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry","Seven-year-old Elsa is precocious, \"different,\" and often in trouble at school — but she has her granny, a seventy-seven-year-old force of nature who fires paintball guns from balconies, breaks every rule, and is Elsa's best and only real friend. Best of all, Granny is the teller of fairy tales set in the Land of Almost-Awake and the kingdom of Miamas, stories that have shielded Elsa from a lonely world.\n\nWhen Granny dies of cancer, she leaves Elsa one last, greatest adventure: a treasure hunt of letters, each an apology to someone Granny wronged, to be delivered by Elsa herself. As Elsa carries the letters to the eccentric neighbors in her apartment building — a wurse, a monster, a woman with a fear of everything — she discovers that Granny's fantastical tales were built from the very real, often painful lives of the people all around her, and that the fairy tales were true in ways she never understood.\n\nWarm, funny, and quietly devastating, Fredrik Backman's second novel (first published in Swedish in 2013) is a story about grief, imagination, and the way stories help us survive one another. Several of its characters, including Britt-Marie, go on to appear in Backman's later books.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kte87n7qdha7nhazb8f1rfm3.jpg?v=3e9cbe9d41","LFL4$hWB~px]KSt79HRkvfxaV?t6",2013,"4.17",3,392,[433],{"id":434,"slug":435,"name":436},"01kjtgby1qrj6385je666ystkh","fredrik-backman-4bnm","Fredrik Backman",[438,439,440,441],{"id":237,"name":238,"slug":239,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":298,"name":299,"slug":300,"is_fiction":19},{"id":123,"name":124,"slug":125,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":444,"themes":445,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[312,313],[],{"id":447,"slug":448,"title":449,"description":450,"primary_cover_url":451,"cover_blurhash":452,"first_publish_year":453,"community_rating_avg":454,"community_rating_count":455,"page_count":62,"authors":456,"genres":461,"series":479,"enrichment":483},"01kkc7x5a65e73qqtqvg216cs8","bunny-p6eo","Bunny","Bunny is Mona Awad's cult dark-academia novel — a surreal, savagely funny, horror-tinged satire of female friendship, creative ambition, and the ache to belong.\n\nSamantha Mackey is a scholarship outsider in the tiny, hyper-selective MFA fiction program at New England's Warren University. She loathes her cohort: a clique of twee, wealthy women who call one another \"Bunny\" and seem to move and speak as a single saccharine organism. Then an invitation arrives, and against every instinct Samantha finds herself pulled into their orbit — and into the strange, ritualistic \"Workshop\" they hold off campus.\n\nAs Samantha sinks deeper into the Bunnies' cloying, sinister world, the line between imagination and reality dissolves. Awad twists the familiar \"outsider joins the mean-girl clique\" story into something grotesque and hallucinatory, equal parts campus comedy and body-horror fever dream. Unsettling, allusive, and deliberately disorienting, Bunny rewards readers who like their literary fiction genuinely strange.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01ksxq76shmx1fpz6vh8ymhn3p.jpg","L*NjOm$O}ZWU$jayR*jtwOw|NaR*",2019,"3.33",6,[457],{"id":458,"slug":459,"name":460},"01kkc6frk0q9pf2x7g9h0yxmeh","mona-awad-kwec","Mona Awad",[462,463,464,468,472,475],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":19},{"id":237,"name":238,"slug":239,"is_fiction":19},{"id":465,"name":466,"slug":467,"is_fiction":19},11,"Mythology","mythology",{"id":469,"name":470,"slug":471,"is_fiction":19},24,"Dark Fantasy","dark-fantasy",{"id":80,"name":473,"slug":474,"is_fiction":19},"Horror","horror",{"id":476,"name":477,"slug":478,"is_fiction":19},118,"Satire","satire",[480],{"id":481,"slug":482,"name":449,"position":210,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kqndvk65ckw30w2teeavazkk","bunny-yzpf",{"pace":138,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":484,"themes":487,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[485,340,486],"dark","creepy",[488,489],"unreliable-narrator","found-family",{"id":491,"slug":492,"title":493,"description":494,"primary_cover_url":495,"cover_blurhash":496,"first_publish_year":497,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":498,"authors":499,"genres":504,"series":512,"enrichment":513},"01kx2fsxa7gh28621vc3sr1f99","only-time-will-tell-6b3q","Only Time Will Tell","When Tess discovers her husband David is involved with a woman she has never met, she sets out to uncover his secrets.

And the shocking secrets he guards could deny him the love of the fair captive lady who has enslaved his reckless heart.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kvkqvawrg6dfx6fw9w56xkmf.jpg?v=a06b6b832c","LZNIBXt8NH$*I.s;bHoK~Ds.oJNa",1992,416,[703],{"id":704,"slug":705,"name":706},"01kk37s5xv0n5dfc81f9gm652m","lisa-kleypas-zv4x","Lisa Kleypas",[708,709],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":686,"name":687,"slug":688,"is_fiction":19},[711],{"id":712,"slug":713,"name":714,"position":715,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kpk938hzg8t60vxmbne04mfk","vallerands-dzmp","Vallerands","2.00",{"pace":138,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":717,"themes":718,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[83,246],[651,343,609],{"key":720,"params":721,"works":722},"genre",{"genre":37},[723,744,764,785,806,832],{"id":724,"slug":725,"title":726,"description":727,"primary_cover_url":728,"cover_blurhash":729,"first_publish_year":379,"community_rating_avg":152,"community_rating_count":153,"page_count":730,"authors":731,"genres":736,"series":740,"enrichment":741},"01kx2kejzw8emerhgyafym4fpz","sin-in-the-second-city-jqut","Sin in the Second City","Step into the perfumed parlors of the Everleigh Club, the most famous brothel in American history--and the catalyst for a culture war that rocked the nation. Operating in Chicago's notorious Levee district at the dawn of the last century, the Club's proprietors, two aristocratic sisters named Minna and Ada Everleigh, welcomed moguls and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and literary icons, into their stately double mansion, where thirty stunning Everleigh \"butterflies\" awaited their arrival. Courtesans named Doll, Suzy Poon Tang, and Brick Top devoured raw meat to the delight of Prince Henry of Prussia and recited poetry for Theodore Dreiser. Whereas lesser madams pocketed most of a harlot's earnings and kept a \"whipper\" on staff to mete out discipline, the Everleighs made sure their girls dined on gourmet food, were examined by an honest physician, and even tutored in the literature of Balzac.Not everyone appreciated the sisters' attempts to elevate the industry. Rival Levee madams hatched numerous schemes to ruin the Everleighs, including an attempt to frame them for the death of department store heir Marshall Field, Jr. But the sisters' most daunting foes were the Progressive Era reformers, who sent the entire country into a frenzy with lurid tales of \"white slavery\"--the allegedly rampant practice of kidnapping young girls and forcing them into brothels. This furor shaped America's sexual culture and had repercussions all the way to the White House, including the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.With a cast of characters that includes Jack Johnson, John Barrymore, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., William Howard Taft, \"Hinky Dink\" Kenna, and Al Capone, Sin in the Second City is Karen Abbott's colorful, nuanced portrait of the iconic Everleigh sisters, their world-famous Club, and the perennial clash between our nation's hedonistic impulses and Puritanical roots. Culminating in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers, Sin in the Second City offers a vivid snapshot of America's journey from Victorian-era propriety to twentieth-century modernity.Visit www.sininthesecondcity.com to learn more!Praise for Sin in the Second City:\"Assiduously researched...

Born in splendor difficult to imagine today, she endured a lifetime of relentless tragedy with courage and exceptional powers of adjustment. The Last Grand Duchess is a valuable account of the final decades of the house of Romanov as seen through the eyes of its last surviving member. Through Olga, we meet Queen Victoria, George V of England, Rasputin, Mrs. Anderson - on whose story the movie Anastasia was made - and other impostors who plagued the exiled duchess with false hope. In this official memoir, Ian Vorres captures the loneliness and violence of Olga's years in Russia, her loveless first marriage to Prince Peter of Oldenburg, her years of exile in England and Denmark, and her final settlement with her second husband and family in Canada.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nb389wtpv472vsskg8f5w.jpg?v=8f7818a0d3","LBLymSE1Q8rt4mRi%MxvY+xb*0xu",1964,256,[816],{"id":817,"slug":818,"name":819},"01kx6nb384563fnrc58ymtnd9m","ian-vorres-idbg","Ian Vorres",[821,822,826,827],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":823,"name":824,"slug":825,"is_fiction":19},55,"World War I","world-war-i",{"id":167,"name":168,"slug":169,"is_fiction":18},{"id":115,"name":116,"slug":117,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":177,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":830,"themes":831,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[83,84],[142,215],{"id":833,"slug":834,"title":835,"description":836,"primary_cover_url":837,"cover_blurhash":838,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":524,"community_rating_count":153,"page_count":839,"authors":840,"genres":845,"series":848,"enrichment":853},"01kvkqaj75kyzrqd7vge8j3tph","the-earl-takes-all-v8jq","The earl takes all","To honor the vow he made to his dying brother, Edward Alcott pretends to be his now-dead twin, the Earl of Greyling, until the countess, whom he has loved for years, gives birth, despite his desire to claim her for himself.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kvkqaj83j0f6177h4v8qg1y0.jpg?v=e366bff98d","LLFq5#IA].O?}[V@RQx]R-M{JTj]",381,[841],{"id":842,"slug":843,"name":844},"01kr91vs4zb2d9s5kn5mjra1hx","lorraine-heath-r9tg","Lorraine Heath",[846,847],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":19},{"id":270,"name":271,"slug":272,"is_fiction":19},[849],{"id":850,"slug":851,"name":852,"position":715,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kx3d7j9h3mgc5retzbqsyztz","hellions-of-havisham-z1gj","Hellions of Havisham",{"pace":78,"complexity":7,"audience":81,"mood":854,"themes":855,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[83,394],[343,609,651],[]]
