Their passionate encounter happened long ago by whatever measurement
Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had traveled back in time
and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie
Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child,
believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has
never lessened its hold on her… and her body still cries out for him in
her dreams.
Then Claire discovers that Jamie survived. Torn between returning to
him and staying with their daughter in her own era, Claire must choose
her destiny. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the
courage to face the passion and pain awaiting her…the deadly intrigues
raging in a divided Scotland… and the daring voyage into the dark
unknown that can reunite or forever doom her timeless love.

A young Jamie Fraser
learns what it really means to become a man in this Outlander prequel
novella. Featuring all the trademark suspense, adventure, and history of
Diana Gabaldon’s #1 bestselling novels and the Starz original series, Virgins is now available for the first time as a standalone ebook.
Mourning the death of his father and gravely injured at the hands of the
English, Jamie Fraser finds himself running with a band of mercenaries
in the French countryside, where he reconnects with his old friend Ian
Murray. Both are nursing wounds; both have good reason to stay out of
Scotland; and both are still virgins, despite several opportunities to
remedy that deplorable situation with ladies of easy virtue. But Jamie’s
love life becomes infinitely more complicated—and dangerous—when fate
brings the young men into the service of Dr. Hasdi, a Jewish gentleman
who hires them to escort two priceless treasures to Paris. One is an old
Torah; the other is the doctor’s beautiful daughter, Rebekah, destined
for an arranged marriage. Both Jamie and Ian are instantly drawn to the
bride-to-be—but they might be more cautious if they had any idea who
they’re truly dealing with.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes an epic novel
of love and war, spanning from the 1940s to the present day, and the
secret lives of those who live in a small French town.
In love we find out who we want to be.
In war we find out who we are.
FRANCE, 1939
In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her
husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn’t believe that
the Nazis will invade France…but invade they do, in droves of marching
soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies
and drop bombs upon the innocent. When France is overrun, Vianne is
forced to take an enemy into her house, and suddenly her every move is
watched; her life and her child’s life is at constant risk. Without food
or money or hope, as danger escalates around her, she must make one
terrible choice after another.
Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl,
searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While
thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets
the compelling and mysterious Gäetan, a partisan who believes the French
can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only
the young can…completely. When he betrays her, Isabelle races headlong
into danger and joins the Resistance, never looking back or giving a
thought to the real–and deadly–consequences.
With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin
Hannah takes her talented pen to the epic panorama of WWII and
illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. The Nightingale tells
the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by
ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous
path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn
France–a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience
of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for
everyone, a novel for a lifetime.
