  He's had every extravagance, she's never left her small town. Can two opposites find common ground? 
   
   
   
  Between working at the bakery and taking care of her grandmother, local good Samaritan Allison McCory has no time for herself. And being known as the woman willing to help anyone has bitten her on the ass more than once. 
   
   
   
  Celebrity chef Lorenzo Morrati is about to lose it all. Not only is his wife pregnant with another man's child and divorcing him, but if anyone believes the false allegations she's making, the network will drop his long-running cooking show. Escaping London and the tabloids for a tiny ocean side Irish town seems like the perfect way to ride out this storm. 
   
   
   
  But a new location doesn't make his problems go away. When Allison finds her handsome new neighbor on the edge of the jagged cliffs, drunk and ranting about giving him up, she's compelled to help him. What starts as a rescue mission slowly takes a turn. Lorenzo is hell on smoldering wheels, but it's his playful smile that undoes the normally reserved Allison, and for the first time in a long time, she lets herself feel passion and hope. 
   
   
   
  Will Lorenzo and Allison bring each other back to life? Or will secrets destroy them?

  A psychological confession wrapped in love, guilt, and existential dread. 
   The Nature of a Crime is a haunting literary collaboration between Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford, exploring the dark undercurrents of human morality and the elusive boundaries between crime and conscience. Told through a series of deeply personal letters, the narrative reveals a man on the verge of emotional and ethical collapse as he reflects on a hidden past, his relationship with a mysterious woman, and the consequences of his actions. 
  Set in the early 20th century, this brief but emotionally powerful novel moves through themes of identity, secrecy, and societal constraint, ultimately raising the question: is the true crime an external act—or an inner betrayal? With eloquent prose and philosophical depth, The Nature of a Crime offers a moving meditation on human frailty and the burden of self-judgment.

  Mandie Kelton, Alicia Halverson, and Suzette Paxman are drawn together by the allure of forgotten elegance and the shadows of the past. They'll have to learn to get along if they have any hope of keeping their jobs, and as they restore an abandoned mansion in The Hamptons, they'll also discover the lost and hidden parts of themselves that make them into the women they're meant to be. 
  Mandie Kelton, with her keen eye for architectural beauty and a deep-seated belief in the stories walls can tell, hasn’t had a field assignment for months, and after being encouraged by her husband and then her best friend, Mandie volunteers in a meeting where people have been fired for less. 
  Alicia Halverson is the accounting genius on the team, and she also brings her unparalleled restoration skills, ensuring no detail is overlooked. She’s recently divorced and caring for two small children alone, so she also needs a local project. She and Mandie have always gotten along well despite their age differences, and Alicia is thrilled to be working with her best friend in The Hamptons. 
  However, after their third team member, a “bulldozer” who goes into the dirtiest of places inside the abandoned mansions the firm carefully restores, suffers a fall, Suzette Paxman is assigned to Mandie and Alicia’s team. 
  Suzie is a whirlwind of innovation and energy, whose initial friction with Mandie and Alicia masks her deep-seated fear of not belonging. She knows she’s not well-liked, and she’s always lived up to her role as a bulldozer. 
  As the walls of the Hampton House come alive with tales of yesteryears, Mandie, Alicia, and Suzie find themselves facing truths about their own lives. They learn that real strength lies in vulnerability, true friendship is forged in adversity, and the most enduring love stories are those that survive the test of time.

  It began with an interview that should have been mundane, and it ended with me becoming a foster mom and my boss demanding I uncover evidence to put a man behind bars—for life. 
  I believed I was one of the good ones. Incorruptible. I certainly wasn’t a member of the Dirty Blue like others I knew. 
  Then, I met Drago Acerbi. I soon realized nothing could have prepared me for the consequences of falling in love with the enemy—a dangerous criminal whom I'm supposed to lock up. 
  Yet, I was the one keeping our relationship a secret. Drago knew that. He also knew I had a job to do. What he didn’t know was that the baby I was protecting was his son.  
  At least, he didn’t until my superior discovered our forbidden love affair—and I lost everything. My career. The man I had fallen for. The baby I’d grown to love. A life I didn’t know I wanted.  
  I’d soon learn I wasn’t the only one harboring a secret they wanted to keep hidden from the world. That’s when I found out exactly who Drago Acerbi really was, and it sent a chill down my spine.

  At the Mountains of Madness is a science fiction-horror novella by American author H. P. Lovecraft, written in February/March 1931 and rejected that year by Weird Tales editor Farnsworth Wright on the grounds of its length. It was originally serialized in the February, March, and April 1936 issues of Astounding Stories. It has been reproduced in numerous collections. The story details the events of a disastrous expedition to the Antarctic continent in September 1930, and what was found there by a group of explorers led by the narrator, Dr. William Dyer of Miskatonic University. Throughout the story, Dyer details a series of previously untold events in the hope of deterring another group of explorers who wish to return to the continent.
