Sinopsis

A celebratory dinner and engagement ceremony is to be held at a large home in Our Village, in southeast Turkey. Halil, the cousin of the future bride, Leyla, is sent to a nearby village to buy the traditional cologne. Leyla's sister, Maral, is told to go door-to-door to remind everyone to attend. Throughout the long day, the other women of the household clean, cook and toil. Meanwhile, a dust storm descends out of nowhere and a menacing mist settles over the village streets.
This harrowing tale, which spans sixteen hours and is told through the eyes of a mysterious narrator, delves into the bad blood between two timeless villages where most of the men are heavily armed village guards, and there is money to be made in agriculture, oil, fish farms and more. Geographical complexities, tangled relations, hazy memories and unreliable witnesses make for a story in which perhaps is nothing as it seems…

    Hayley and Leah think they're in love and deliriously happy, Chase thinks they've been brainwashed. They won't leave without a fight. 
    Gathering the evidence he needs would be much easier if the local deputy, the beautiful but annoying as hell, Natalie Lennox, would get off her perfect backside to help him. Instead, she goes out of her way to hide the truth and he's determined to find out why. 
    When Chase, the local Luna's, human and extremely bossy, older brother blows into town, hell bent on unearthing the secrets all shifters want to stay hidden, Natalie tries to keep him from getting close, both to her and the truth. But this is a man who never gives up. 
    When things between them get too hot to handle, will Natalie be able to stay away? Or will she be the one to expose the town's secrets, and things about Chase that even he doesn't know. 
    The book is Dual POV, MF, wolf shifter, bear shifter romance, with enemies to lovers, fated mates and lots of heat!

    Three men. One woman. When danger and desire collide.They thrive off the thrill of the chase, unapologetic in their pursuit to always hit their mark—or get their woman. Businessmen by day, hitmen by night, these frat brothers live, work, and kill together. They're dangerous, raw, and too ruthless for their best friend's little sister, who should be off-limits to them, especially with an enemy who is always circulating in their orbit. They could get her killed if they aren't careful. Yet, one by one, they each get sucked deeper into her intoxicating web as the morally gray lines begin to blur and they realize that the only way to move forward is to succumb to their desires . . . and share her.Resort tycoon Titan Valentine is a merciless, beautiful monster in a tailored suit who dances the thin line between power and danger. Santari Lake mistook his quiet commanding presence for survival, but she didn't realize she'd become the flame he aches to be consumed by. Every time he holds back, it's not mercy . . . it's foreplay. And when she finally offers her submission, he loses the hold on his control completely.

    I am once again a prisoner to Wessex, captured by King Egbert because holding me hostage will bring them to him—my two Vikings who will risk heaven and earth to save me. 
     
     
     
    But I don't need saving. I am Princess Emeline, and I was taught by the best, and his name . . . Skarth the Godless. The man whom I love more than anything in this world. 
     
     
     
    But things begin to blur when Ulf the Bloody reminds me of the promise I made, and that promise is that I belong to him. 
     
     
     
    We must work together to overthrow King Egbert, but the war I fight within my heart is far more dangerous than anything I will ever face on the battlefield.

    A Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Alice Adams chronicles the attempts of a lower middle class American midwestern family at the turn of the 20th century to climb the social ladder. The eponymous heroine is at the heart of the story, a young woman who wants a better place in society and a better life. As Gerard Previn Meyer has stated, "Apart from being the contribution to social history its author conceived it to be, [Alice Adams] is something more, that something being what has attracted to it so large a public: its portrait of a (despite her faults) 'lovable girl'."(Summary by Jeannie)

    Andy Catlett's story begins as his grandfather Marce Catlett rises in the dark to travel from his farm by horseback and train to Louisville for the auction of his 1906 tobacco crop. The price paid for each year's crop has been depressed to virtually nothing by the power of a single buyer, James B. Duke. This year is especially grim since the price offered to each grower is less than the expense of bringing the crop to market. A year's labor is lost.Marce returns to his family defeated, defiant, and determined to grow another crop. Many of his fellow farmers at first seem to lack the resiliency and resourcefulness to continue. Only with the cooperation of other growers can a way be found that protects these farmers and keeps their rural families vital and in place.The power and depth of this story—and of the many stories within the history of the Port William Membership—resonate with love, kindness, and the held memory of family and community. In Marce Catlett: The Force of a Story, celebrated author Wendell Berry brings to life a tale that devoted fans of the series will cherish. This moving novel is a testament to the goodwill that lives within the human heart and a stirring reminder that standing up for what we believe in is always a cause worth fighting for.
