Amantine's Song

Barbara Morgan

Summary

Amantine Delamar is a young and ambitious English literature university researcher, in London. On a Sunday morning, just outside Notting Hill tube station, she meets a green-eyed boy who she mistakes for a drifter. While struggling to ignore him, she is irresistibly attracted to his irreverent attitude and his way of provoking her. She goes back looking for him several times and finds out that he is not an ordinary guy, but Peter Wiles, member of a successful band, although completely unknown to her. Amantine is totally alien and disinterested in that showbiz world so far removed from hers, but she can’t resist the passion that Peter rouses in her. So much so, it pushes her to repeatedly betray Geoffrey, her actual boyfriend.
Amantine doesn’t yet know what love is, and she doesn’t even seem to be particularly interested in finding out. The only thing she really wants is to feel free and at the same time reach her professional goals.
Amantine Delamar and Peter Wiles are both aware that theirs is a story without a future, and with no guarantees. They set up rules that should never be broken: “no questions, no claims.”
But love, against every rule, is lurking and the bond between them grows deeper and more intense, such that Amantine and Peter, as well as lovers, become more and more friends, partners, supportive of one another. Unaware of a passion that will bind them for years.

How long is it going to take before one of them breaks the deal? But above all... will they overcome the differences between them, to let love become part of their lives?

One Last Lie (A Tara Mills...

Sarah Sutton

Women are being brutally murdered in Boulder, Colorado, their bodies stuffed into the trunks of their cars, and they all have one thing in common: they were meeting someone for a date that they met online. It’s clear a serial killer is at large, and FBI Agent Tara Mills is quickly on the case. But she soon learns that none of the women were meeting the same person, or so it seems, because none of the victims’ dates can be tracked down either.

As Tara digs deep into the world of online dating, and as more women turn up dead, she soon realizes that the killer’s web is larger than she ever imagined. With the killer always one step ahead, taking on a new identity and leaving no trail, Tara fears she has finally met her match.

Tara is pushed to her limits. But with the secrets of her past finally resolved, she hopes she can finally lay it to rest and focus wholeheartedly on the case. But when she learns that her biggest nightmare is yet to come, she fears that she has only made things worse for herself, for her fiancé, and for their future.
