Sinopse

In 'Summer' by Edith Wharton, a captivating tale set in the rural landscapes of New England, the author explores the complex themes of morality, social class, and female sexuality. Written with Wharton's signature elegant prose and sharp wit, the novel delves into the turbulent love affair between the poor, young Charity Royall and the sophisticated Lucius Harney, challenging societal conventions and shedding light on the limitations imposed on women in the early 20th century. Wharton's keen observations of human nature and attention to detail make 'Summer' a compelling read that offers valuable insights into the constraints faced by individuals in a traditional society. The novel is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature and historical fiction, as it provides a nuanced portrayal of gender dynamics and class struggles during the Gilded Age.

    This Montgomery finds his match in this touching second chance romance from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan. 
    I thought I was moving on from my divorce, but now my ex is marrying someone else. I shouldn’t be this broken up, but it’s hard to put on a brave face when my family is basically an inked up Hallmark movie. 
    And I shouldn’t be brooding about what I don’t have, if it’s going to cause me to fall off a roof. Right into the grumpy neighbor’s burly arms. 
    He’d make a nice distraction, except he wants nothing to do with the burning attraction between us. Until one accidental kiss leads to more. 
    I’m not ready to risk my heart again, but Killian’s tortured eyes don’t seem to give me a choice. This thing between us is real. 
    But Killian is still trying to recover from a tragedy. And there are people who will do anything to make sure he never finds happiness again.

    For the first time, a collection of testimonials gives voice to the children of lesbian couples. Sixteen of them answer the questions many people ask: does living without a father pose a problem? Do children of gay couples necessarily become gay or lesbian? Do their families share the same values as others?
    The interviewees were aged between eleven and thirty-one. They were conceived either by insemination or during previous relationships. Today, they are students, police officers or producers. They have agreed to confide in us their joys, their worries, their troubles, their hopes and the way “others” look at them.

The end of her first day on the job yields a partially demolished wall, a mysterious stash of cash, and a fresh corpse. And Lillian's attentions are diverted by the appearance of a drop-dead gorgeous neighbor. In trying to figure out the twisted facts, Lillian uncovers greed, deception, and love, not necessarily in that order!

    Trust is a thing of the past. All that matters is the truth. 
     
     
     
    Forrest Cooper: Cooper Springs' resident lavender farmer has a short list of people he trusts. A newcomer to town is not making his list. Ever. Especially not one who is first on the scene of a murder. 
     
     
     
    Nero Vik: Recently laid off and once again single, the ex-investigative reporter is digging into the sordid history of Cooper Springs. He's not in town to make friends, he's there to solve an old mystery and maybe bring closure to those who need it. But when he discovers a local man murdered, all eyes are on him. Once Nero starts investigating, he has questions, most of them for Forrest Cooper. 
     
     
     
    Forrest is not giving the new guy an inch, much less discussing his sordid family history. His past is not up for debate on some nickel-and-dime podcast hosted by a hack writer. 
     
     
     
    One man has dedicated himself to putting his past where it belongs—behind him. The other is determined to expose the truth—no matter how painful it is. 
     
     
     
    The perfect storm brings them together. Will they make it through to the other side? 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
