  Set in New Orleans, the story follows Edna Pontellier and her struggle to reconcile her increasingly unorthodox views on femininity and motherhood. It is one of the earliest American novels that focuses on women's issues. The novel's blend of realistic narrative, incisive social commentary, and psychological complexity makes The Awakening a precursor of American modernism.

  "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" chronicles the escapades of a spirited young boy named Thomas Sawyer, who is renowned in his small town for his mischievous antics and penchant for trouble. Tom resides in the charming riverfront town of St. Petersburg, situated along the banks of the iconic Mississippi River. This idyllic setting is marked by a warm small-town ambiance where the Christian faith plays a vital role in the community, and relationships are tightly woven among the townspeople. 
  Living under the roof of his Aunt Polly, Tom shares his household with his dutiful half-brother Sid and their kind-hearted cousin Mary. Aunt Polly, a stern yet caring figure, frequently has to discipline Tom, who is notorious for his playful defiance and relentless spirit. Unlike the more compliant Sid, who often follows the rules and tends to be more reserved, Tom thrives on adventure. Instead of attending school, where he feels confined, he often prefers to escape into the night, climbing out of his bedroom window to embark on thrilling exploits with his best friend, Huckleberry Finn—a boy with a free-spirited nature and a social outsider status. 
  Though Tom harbors a strong aversion to formal education, he possesses a sharp intellect that enables him to devise clever schemes and navigate various predicaments. His playful shenanigans might have gone unnoticed were it not for Sid, who has a tendency to report Tom's misdeeds to Aunt Polly. This dynamic between the two brothers adds both tension and humor to Tom's adventures, highlighting the contrast between responsibility and rebellion in their youthful lives.

  Gian Crane, youngest of six, the family underachiever, started out with reasonable goals but now, at thirty-two, the sum of her life is an uninspiring job and one major broken heart. If it wasn’t for her best friend, Maddie, she’d have no joy in her life at all.  
  Then a management shuffle elevates Gian to the new boss’ Personal Assistant, a boss who’s reserved, icily attractive, and a little older. Just Gian’s type. No, Gian will not complicate her life by foolishly allowing herself to be wildly attracted to her new boss. That can’t go anywhere, can it?  
  Flynn Fox finds her fortieth birthday looming and what does she have to show for it? A failed marriage. A son who doesn’t seem to care if she’s part of his life or not. And she’s still allowing family pressures to leech the colour from her life, while her supposed ‘unnatural tendencies’ have seen her shuffled out of the limelight in the family company.  
  She’s under no illusions about why her father suddenly wants her to take charge of the struggling Kingstone branch of Fox and Sons. If it fails it won’t be on him. Is this her chance to show her worth, even if it means going against her father’s instructions?  
  Into Flynn’s life steps Gian and attraction flares. But Gian is younger, and unlike any of the women Flynn is usually attracted to, and she’s Gian’s boss. If she acted on this attraction it would be totally inappropriate. Wouldn’t it?  
  Revisit the location of the FRIENDS AND LOVERS series. This is book 4 and is a stand-alone.

  Millie Leclair is a mess, complete with a dead-end career and a flatlining love life. So when she inherits her great aunt's oceanfront B&B in a resort town in South Carolina's Lowcountry, she doesn't hesitate to pack up her car and set off on a new adventure. It'll be fun. 
   
   
   
  Of course, life seldom goes according to plan. The B&B is barely habitable for one person, let alone ready to open for business. With dwindling funds, Millie has no choice but to roll up her sleeves and tackle the repairs by herself. Yeah, so much fun. 
   
   
   
  Ex-pro golfer Braxton Channing thought being a full-time single parent kept him on his toes. That was before he spotted his new neighbor teetering on her rooftop and added keeping her safe to his to-do list. 
   
   
   
  But Millie is determined to dive headfirst into repairs regardless of the risk, and suddenly, battling with his daughter over brushing her teeth seems easier than winning an argument with Millie. She's exasperating. And oddly delightful. And definitely shouldn't be let anywhere near a tall ladder. 
   
   
   
  For a guy who's sworn off relationships, why does he suddenly want to be the one who gets the privilege of watching Millie conquer not just the B&B but his heart as well?
