Sinopsis

In Portland, a city celebrated for its progressive ideals, Ethan and Olivia Hayes appear to have it all. Their minimalist home, filled with carefully curated art, reflects their outward success. But beneath the surface, a subtle tension simmers. When Ethan unexpectedly loses his job and becomes the primary caregiver for their daughter, Maya, the fault lines in their marriage begin to crack.  He navigates the unfamiliar terrain of toddler tantrums and the subtle emasculation of Portland’s hyper-progressive parenting circles, while Olivia thrives in the high-stakes world of corporate law, her ambition pulling her further away from her family.As Ethan struggles with his changing identity, he finds solace in an unlikely friendship with Annette, a fiercely independent artist whose murals expose the raw realities of the city.  Meanwhile, Olivia is captivated by a charismatic client, Joel, whose attention offers a dangerous escape from the pressures of her demanding career.  But Ethan’s discovery of a hidden family secret, tied to Olivia’s grandmother, a forgotten architect whose career was tragically derailed, threatens to shatter their carefully constructed world.Caught between the intoxicating power of her career and the unraveling threads of her family history, Olivia faces a stark choice.  Can she confront the ghosts of the past and fight for a future she may not even recognize?  As a torrential Portland rainstorm mirrors the tempestuous emotions raging within them, the façade of their progressive marriage collapses, exposing the deep-seated gender divide that has insidiously shaped their lives.  Ethan and Olivia must confront the painful truth: their utopian ideals have masked a deeper, more insidious reality.  Will they find a way to rebuild, or will the weight of their secrets shatter their world beyond repair?

    As an enforcer for the Lykosium, it's Kit's job to ensure the Were secret is safe, which is how he meets Penelope "Poppy" Smith. She's a woman with secrets who flinches at shadows, and he doesn't like that one bit—especially since she is his mate.

    She agrees to help, partially because she knows Kit's her mate, even if he refuses to accept it. It's been a while since she's had to deploy her womanly wiles. If they fail, she can always resort to home cooking to change a stubborn fox's mind.

    Herbert George Wells was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography, and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne.During his own lifetime, however, he was most prominent as a forward-looking, even prophetic social critic who devoted his literary talents to the development of a progressive vision on a global scale. A futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of aircraft, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television, and something resembling the World Wide Web. His science fiction imagined time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering. Wells's earliest specialized training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also an outspoken Socialist from a young age, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathizing with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he wrote little science fiction, while he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of a journalist. Novels such as Kipps and The History of Mr. Polly, which describe lower-middle-class life, led to the suggestion that he was a worthy successor to Charles Dickens, but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted a diagnosis of English society as a whole.
