"EDEN LAKE is an unusually accomplished debut novel about love and loss and the absurdities of summer camp. Jane Roper writes with quiet authority and sly humor about a large and intriguing cast of characters." 
- Tom Perrotta, bestselling author of Election, Joe College and Little Children"As a kid I lasted one week at summer camp, but at EDEN LAKE I overcame my phobia. This is due to the quirky, warm, funny, quixotic crew you'll meet in these pages, and the compassionate yet sharply observed story of a family assembling and reassembling itself after a father's death. I'll be revisiting EDEN LAKE many times."
 - Jenna Blum, bestselling author of Those Who Save Us and The Stormchasers"Anyone who's ever experienced the sweet tumult of summer camp is hereby ordered to read EDEN LAKE immediately. In fact, even if you've never been to camp, this book should go on your must-read list. Jane Roper has written a wise, sexy novel that fearlessly probes the particulars of desire and loss. It's a sheer delight - as irresistible as a smore."

    I needed money. I should have run, but he promised me it was going to be so easy. But nothing is easy when it comes to notorious billionaire cowboy Duke Fallon – unless you count easy on the eyes, which he definitely is. With his dark eyes, ripped abs, and broad shoulders, he has the body (and the attitude) of someone who knows exactly what to do with his hands. Soon he’s sneaking into my room at night, trailing searing kisses over my body, pushing his fingers inside of me, his hands and lips working to bring me to heights of pleasure I never knew possible. In the morning, he’s always cold and shut down, barely acknowledging me, acting like I’m some kind of afterthought. I know this thing between us is all for show, a pretend romance that’s just as fake as the ad I answered to get here. I know I should take my money, cut my losses, and run. I know he’s incapable of loving me. But if there’s one thing Duke Fallon excels at, it’s blurring the lines between what’s real and what’s not….

    In this fast-paced investigation into the adrenaline-pumping world of NASCAR, a physicist with a passion uncovers what happens when the rubber hits the road and 800- horsepower vehicles compete at 190 miles per hour only inches from one another. Diandra Leslie-Pelecky reveals how and why drivers trust the engineering and science their teams literally build around them not only to get them across the finish line in first place, but also to keep them alive. Professor Leslie-Pelecky is a physicist in love with the sport’s beauty and power and is uniquely qualified to explain exactly how physics translates into winning races. Based on the author’s extensive access to race shops, pit crews, crew chiefs and mechanics, this book traces the life cycle of a race car from behind the scenes at top race shops to the track. The Physics of NASCAR takes readers right into the ultra competitive world of NASCAR, from the champion driver’s hot seat behind the detachable steering wheel to the New Zealander nicknamed Kiwi in charge of shocks for the No. 19 car. Diandra Leslie-Pelecky tells her story in terms anyone who drives a car--and maybe occasionally looks under the hood--can understand. How do drivers walk away from serious crashes? How can two cars travel faster together than either car can on its own? How do you dress for a 1800°F gasoline fire? In simple yet detailed, high-octane prose, this is the ultimate thrill ride for armchair speed demons, auto science buffs, and NASCAR fans at every level of interest. Readers, start your engines.
