Sinossi

THE baby was born at Whitewater Farms about nine in the morning, April 19, 1900. Two pure-breed calves,—one a heifer, the other a bull,—were dropped the same day at nearly the same hour. Odell came in toward noon, heard these farm items from his foreman, Ed Lister. For twenty years Odell’s marriage had been childless. He had waited in vain for a son,—for several sons,—and now, after twenty sterile years of hardship, drudgery, and domestic discord, Fanny had given him a girl. He stood in silence, chewing the bitter news. “ Awright,” he said, “that’s that ! Is Queen doin’ good?” Whitewater Queen was doing as well as could be expected and her fourth heifer-calf was a miracle of Guernsey beauty.

After a terrible debut performance, Taj retreats home. That night, while working on a new beat, he falls asleep on his synthesizer keyboard and wakes to a strange sound emanating a mysterious frequency that would dramatically change Taj’s life. Following a series of unexpected sexually charged encounters, the frequency’s irresistible power to attract women cannot be denied. Taj layers this sound over his beats and his career takes off, seemingly overnight! At Taj’s first successful performance, he has a brief but mesmerizing encounter with a woman named Janet who leaves a lasting impression, and they keep in touch.

    Love doesn't always follow the recipe... 
    Cass Little has built a life defined by two passions: food and control. As head chef she’s used to perfection—except when it comes to her own body. Menopause has taken its toll, leaving Cass struggling to accept a body she barely recognizes. She’s convinced that love, like her libido, has long left the building. 
    Estelle Raymond is back in Clearwater Bay to grieve her father—and escape a lifetime of expectations. A brilliant mathematician, she’s comfortable being asexual, but wary of the way love so often demands she be someone she’s not. 
    But something about Cass—a woman who loves fiercely but fears she’s not enough—awakens a desire for connection Estelle thought she’d buried. And something about Estelle—a woman who refuses to compromise her truth—makes Cass question everything she thought she knew about passion. 
    When old wounds and new desires collide, Cass and Estelle must learn that love isn’t always about reciprocity—it’s about trust, acceptance, and finding comfort in the unexpected. 
    Set in the small coastal town of Clearwater Bay, This Is Who I Am is a heartwarming sapphic romance about queer identity, self-acceptance, and the messy, beautiful ways we learn to love again.

    The threats I've been facing in this world, well, it's like playing whack-a-mole. 
     
     
     
    The local aristocrats are still conspiring to put roadblocks in the path of the ever more powerful Bulatov Family. And then I have the offworlders from another world—they haven't gone anywhere, either. 
     
     
     
    They're still opening portals and sending through invaders, although, thus far, these attacks have been isolated grabs for loot and prisoners. A portal opens, offworlders dash out, get what they can, and retreat. 
     
     
     
    For me, the offworlders have generally been an irritant and not much more. In contrast, the aristocratic enemies within my new world have consumed far more of my energy. That being said, it looks like now, the offworlders have managed to unite, and take over the city neighboring Arkhangelsk. 
     
     
     
    Does that mean that it is now time for me to turn my attention to ushering out the guests from another world? And will this offworld threat force these local aristocrats to drop their hostilities and band together against our common enemy? 
     
     
     
    Hard to say, but, like usual, I can only really count on myself and my forces. 
     
     
     
    Let's just hope I have what it takes to get the job done!

    Don't miss this brilliantly gripping cozy mystery from MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER Fiona Walker 🔍 A must-read for fans of Richard Osman, Janet Evanovich and the Reverend Richard Coles! 
    Former stand-up comic Juno Mulligan has been suffering a serious sense-of-humour failure. Not only has she lost the love of her life, but she’s having to relocate to the (admittedly idyllic) village of Inkbury to watch out for her elderly mother, who she’s genuinely worried might be marrying a wife-killer. 
    She hopes that her old friend, disgraced-journalist-turned-novelist Phoebe Fredericks can help her crack the case of whether her mother’s perma-tanned, iceberg-smiled, three-times-a-widower fiancé is hiding a murderous past. 
    But before they have a chance, the local art dealer washes up distinctly dead in the village’s famous river. His lover is in the frame, but Juno and Phoebe suspect that there is a deeper secret… One that relates to Phoebe’s own past and Juno’s present. 
    Will the unofficial Village Detective Agency solve the mystery before the killer strikes again? In sleepy Inkbury, as they soon discover, living one’s best midlife can be murder.
