Beschreibung

Summer is winding down. For Jimmy McSwain, it's been a quiet couple of months, leaving this apprentice private investigator with little to do. Be careful what you wish for.
Jimmy is asked by his boss to accompany his wife Beatrice to a fancy art gallery opening down in Manhattan's Soho district. The drama begins when the artist who goes by the name Rico pulls a disappearing act on the night of his big debut, leaving the owners of the Barrister Gallery stunned, not to mention the hoity-toity snobs expecting to meet the man behind the "Beauty at Death" show. 
The owners claim Rico has been kidnapped. Jimmy thinks their reaction is a bit extreme. Nevertheless, he agrees to take the case, even as he begins to suspect he hasn't been told the whole story. Especially when the Barrister owners say no cops. 
With a growing sense of menace, Jimmy finds himself doubting his ability to solve the puzzling case. How does he find the truth when all he's heard is lies? He fears someone could end up hurt -- or worse, dead -- on his watch.

    How deep does your love grow? 
     
     
     
    Destiny and Faith were living and loving the life they'd created. They worked side-by-side at a thriving landscaping company by day and spent their nights together in a lavender haze of love. It was a happy life or so Destiny thought. 
     
     
     
    One day Faith not only moved all her things out of their apartment, but she quit her job and opened her own landscaping company. On top of that the only explanation Destiny ever received was: you know what you did. 
     
     
     
    Three years later, Destiny now runs her own landscaping company and has an opportunity to bid on a huge, career-defining project. She knows her company is too small to secure the bid, but if she can convince Faith to team up with her she's sure they could win. 
     
     
     
    The only problem is that Faith can't stand to look at Destiny and Destiny still doesn't know what she did wrong. Can these two talented landscapers bury their past long enough to let their companies flourish? 
     
     
     
    Let me tell you a story about Destiny and Faith; a second chance, meant-to-be sapphic romance overflowing with undeniable love.

    Paul Harrison is completely straight. His house will not flood again. And gay men don't play cricket. Eventually Paul will find out just how incorrect these preconceived notions are.
    
    
    When the river overflows its banks, Paul is forced to find temporary accommodation. The only practical suggestion comes from Trevor, an out and proud work colleague. Despite Paul's hesitancy regarding Trevor's offer of hospitality, he accepts and soon grows to admire Trevor, his humanity, his determination, and his abilities with a cricket ball.
    
    
    In order to protect his fragile emotions, Trevor keeps people at a distance by wearing gaudy clothing and behaving outrageously. He had no way of knowing that doing the right thing by offering Paul his spare room will lead to such a big change in his life.
    
    
    A tenuous connection develops between the two men. But misunderstandings and in-born prejudices threaten to derail their growing friendship. Things get even more complicated when Gary, Trevor's ex-lover, shows up.
    
    
    Can Trevor learn to trust again? Will Paul listen to his heart and discover that, despite first impressions, there's just something about Trevor he can't deny?
