Sinopsis

"Someone rang my husband. Your wife is not well, the person said. Your wife is not well."
When Clara's parents transplant her from Paris to New York at the age of sixteen, a fleeting encounter with a young man seems, for a brief period, to open up new possibilities. As she strives to fulfil her vocation as a writer, and as she struggles in later years with the cumulative constraints of an unhappy marriage, Clara's imagination is strangely haunted by a life that might have been.
Tracing Clara's story from her adolescence to her experience of motherhood, and then through to a pivotal bid for freedom, Two Hours is an exceptional novel. Witty, perceptive, and profoundly humane, this is the work of a writer at the height of her powers.Praise for Two Hours:
"Alba Arikha takes us magically into the very heart of a woman's experiences—her loves, her art, her fears, and that brief, ecstatic moment that has watermarked her entire life."—Edmund White
"Arikha's Major/Minor is in my view a small masterpiece, and with Two Hours I believe she is making something of similar stature."—Rachel Cusk
"Out of a seemingly casual array of swift vignettes, fleeting encounters, cityscapes caught on the fly, and sudden, bright shocks of emotion, Alba Arikha has constructed a radiant story of loss and love, entrapment and freedom, and the strange patterns of fate and desire that shape our lives. Every piece of her mosaic shimmers with acute observation, and the whole comes together to form a powerfully singular account of the universal struggle to live a life of integrity and meaning. It is a rare and fine accomplishment." —James Lasdun
"A beautifully written, lyrical, and unflinching account of a woman's life, from teenage love to maturity and motherhood."—Vesna Goldsworthy

Their love is a long shot . . . 
 
 
 
Aspiring writer Kellie Dalton needs a man, and fast. When she's rear-ended by a sexy-as-sin biker on the way to a Vegas romance readers convention, she sees her chance. If he'll pose as her fake boyfriend long enough to impress a bestselling author, Kellie has a shot at saving the bookstore for underprivileged kids she runs back home. 
 
 
 
Quinn Anderson doesn't know what to make of the cute little writer who stirs his heart and his libido, but he does know he wants to get better acquainted. And if that means keeping up their sexy ruse all week, he's game. 
 
 
 
Quinn knows a girl like Kellie deserves someone with a secure future to help with her store, not a guy struggling to turn a profit on his chopper shop. But if his motorcycle designs win the big Vegas competition, he'll have enough prize money to fund his dreams . . . and hers.

This work provides a concise synthesis of the key insights and analysis of the book. It is an independent summary, not the original book, and has no affiliation with or endorsement from the original publication. Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work. 
In the shadow of a war between gods, a world struggles to heal. The journalist Iris Winnow mourns the lover she lost—Roman Kitt—unaware that he still lives under the control of the god Dacre, his memories erased and his words twisted into lies. As Iris writes into the void, her faith in love and truth becomes her only anchor. Meanwhile, Roman fights to reclaim the fragments of his past through dreams and secret acts of rebellion, using his pen as his weapon. When destiny draws them together once more, their reunion sparks not peace but revolution. The two lovers must stand against a god who seeks to rewrite history itself. Ruthless Vows is a sweeping, lyrical tale of memory, resilience, and the enduring power of the written word—a love story forged in ink, war, and the refusal to forget.

Angela Haddon can drag a grown man out of a burning building and rescue a kitten from a tree, but keeping her hands to herself is getting old when it comes to Stefan Trevino. 
 
 
 
He's sexy as sin, a billionaire, and absolutely off limits, according to her brother.

A harmless game of truth or dare ignites a hidden flame. The sparks they both have buried for so many years are rising to the surface. Fear of ruin makes Stefan hesitate. He has to choose—his heart or his best friend. 
 
 
 
Will Angela bring Stefan to his knees? How many bridges will be set on fire?

She's had a crush on him for decades. He's finally in a place where he feels ready to date the boss's daughter. Can Cord and Jane take their relationship to the next level without getting burned? 
Jane Hammond has grown and matured a lot over the years. So much so that she's now working in the accounting department at the massive family company in downtown Denver. But she's living on her family's farm, which her older brother now owns. Her father lives in the generational house, and he still has his eye on Jane's wild streak. 
That, and that alone, has kept her from pursuing Cord Behr, the cowboy who's worked her daddy's farm for fifteen years. 
Cord has secrets no one knows but Jane's father. The man took him in when he shouldn't have, and he's loved Cord as a son, guided him, and taught him. Cord won't do anything to upset Gray Hammond - but his feelings for the man's daughter have been growing and growing since her return to the farm. 
And she's an adult now... 
So when her cousin gets married, Cord makes his move and asks Jane to dance. The spark is hotter than ever now that it's been uncovered, but they have a long way to go to build happily-ever-after. Can she make her father see she's not fourteen years old anymore? And will it even matter if Cord can't tell her the truth about his past?
