Emma Hart Libri

Conner Burke è l’idolo delle teenager: canta nei Dirty B., la band che ha fondato insieme ai tre fratelli, e con le sue canzoni fa sciogliere il cuore di qualsiasi ragazza. Eppure, lui ne ama solo una: Sofie Callahan, la sua amica d’infanzia, la sua musa. Quella che gli ha spezzato il cuore scomparendo nel nulla all’improvviso. Ma quando, dopo due anni e mezzo di lontananza, Sofie ritorna improvvisamente a casa, niente potrà più essere come prima. Sì, perché lei non è sola: con sé ha portato la piccola Mila. Sua figlia. A Conner basta uno sguardo agli occhi blu della bambina per capire tutto. La rabbia del ragazzo, distrutto per essersi perso i primi anni di vita di Mila, e poi i pettegolezzi della gente e i giornalisti a caccia di gossip renderanno molto difficile il suo rapporto con Sofie. Come se non bastassero il risentimento, i ricordi... e l’inarrestabile attrazione che li unisce. Ma forse nemmeno la lontananza e gli inganni sono riusciti a cancellare l’amore che li univa. Può però Conner tornare a fidarsi, se lei rifiuta di rivelargli l’ultimo, inconfessabile segreto che l’ha spinta a fuggire?

From New York Times bestselling author, Emma Hart, comes an addictive new romcom mystery series that fans of her Holly Woods Files series will adore. It's all the heat, heart, and snark you love-just deadly. Welcome to Fox Point-not everyone leaves this town alive. I remember the first time I ever saw Detective Inspector Noah George. We were seven, stupid, and he threw sand in my eye. I'm pretty sure that's when I fell in love with him. Hey-I did say I was stupid. Summers in Fox Point, my grandfather's seaside hometown, were all we had together. Then we turned eighteen, life happened, and he never spoke to me again. Until my grandfather's death calls me back to the small town, only for his lawyer to tell me he's left me my family's dilapidated bed and breakfast that was home to many things-my first sleepover party, where my grandma taught me to cross-stitch, my first kiss with Noah... And apparently, my first dead body. My name is Lottie O'Neil, and I'm on the hook for the murder of a man I've barely met. And the one who'll have to arrest me is the only man I've ever loved. Unless I find the real killer first.

The book explores the transformation of the marketplace from a physical location to a conceptual framework that shaped the early American economy. Emma Hart highlights Britain's colonization of North America as pivotal in this evolution, leading to a more liberated form of capitalism. By examining various trading venues of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, such as shops and auction sites, Hart illustrates how these spaces fostered new trade practices and contributed to the development of a market economy resembling today's systems.

Focusing on the colonial era, this comprehensive study explores Charleston's rapid growth from 1700 to 1775, highlighting its significance as the largest city in the American South. It examines the city's pivotal role in shaping South Carolina and the broader British Atlantic, providing insights into its development and influence during a critical period in early American history.

This Element, traces the emergence of the Atlantic city as a site of contact, an agent of colonization, a central node in networks of exchange, and an arena of political contestation. Cities of the Atlantic World operated at the juncture of many of the core processes in a global history of capitalism and of rising social and racial inequality.
