Sinopsis

D. K. Broster's "Mr. Rowl" is a compelling exploration of the human psyche set against the backdrop of the early 20th century. Through a unique narrative style that seamlessly interweaves psychological depth with a rich, atmospheric setting, Broster delves into themes of illicit desire, social constraints, and moral ambiguity. The novella's carefully crafted prose is marked by vivid descriptions and incisive dialogue, embodying a blend of realism and subtle gothic elements that reflect the tumultuous societal changes of the time. Broster, a Scottish author renowned for her contributions to the genre of psychological fiction, crafted "Mr. Rowl" during a period of personal and societal upheaval. Her interest in human emotions, intuition, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals is clearly reflected in the novella's characters and their struggles. Drawing from her own experiences and the broader literary currents of her time, Broster's narrative mirrors the complex landscapes of human relationships and the unspoken tensions that often underpin them. Readers seeking a profound examination of character and context will find "Mr. Rowl" particularly resonant. Broster's keen insight into the human condition, coupled with her engaging prose, makes this work an essential addition to the study of early 20th-century literature. This novella appeals not only to fans of literary fiction but also to anyone interested in the complexities of desire and morality.

    Samantha Sinclair's midlife can be summed up in one word—trapped. Trapped by Multiple Sclerosis. Trapped by an abusive husband. Trapped until her son breaks the vicious cycle and whisks her away to a bed and breakfast on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. 
     
     
     
    He sent her away. Now she's returned to the scene of the crime. 
     
     
     
    The only problem? It puts her in the path of the only man she ever wanted. Damien rejected her years ago and Sam's never recovered from the heartache. Combined with the quirky and nosy oddballs in the fifty and up waterfront community, the B&B isn't the ideal place to lay low. Sam just wants to lick her wounds, not rekindle an old flame who is still too hot to handle. 
     
     
     
    Witches and shifters and secrets, oh my!

But can this ragtag band of aging supernaturals keep her safe? Or will her vengeful ex destroy what's left of Sam's life?
