A little drop of melancholy, a dose of happiness, surrounded by social walls, yet knocking down barriers, the poet tells her words about her feelings.
It's four innings into an Orioles victory, when Emma meets Mabel. Their flirty first encounter ends abruptly when Mabel's longtime boyfriend steals her away. This is the start of the sweetest of summers. One of Blue Ridge Mountain hiking, river floating, and steamy, coffee-fueled mornings. But as the summer closes, Mabel's insecurities about her same-sex attraction emerge. She heads back to college. Without Emma. Over the next four years, Emma juggles temporary loves, a big move, and new jobs, all while trying to shove down an imagined fairytale outcome with Mabel. It's harder than assumed. Despite distance, Mabel keeps finding her way back into Emma's life, forcing Emma to consider if it's some grand design bringing the two of them back together or simply a matter of unfortunate situations.Ver livro
Special Agent Angus Green is still in his twenties, and his red hair and good looks often make people underestimate him, but he's a smart, fearless cop who believes in the FBI motto: Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. Fort Lauderdale retiree Frank Sena is working with pawn shop owner Jesse Venable to retrieve a painting stolen from Frank's uncle, a gay Venetian killed during the Holocaust. Angus volunteers to help Frank, and discovers Venable is the subject of a task force looking into smuggling immigrants out of war-torn countries in the Middle East. Angus, who knows nothing about art and speaks no Italian, may be in over his head as he is assigned to befriend, and ultimately betray, Venable. But with the help of his Italian-speaking brother and his art-loving boyfriend, he may be able not only to retrieve the painting, but solve a smuggling case and potentially save thousands of lives. The investigation will take him from the sun-drenched rooftops of Venice to a private yacht speeding down Fort Lauderdale's New River. Along the way, he'll learn the true meaning of survival. "Fast-paced, fun and as fresh as a South Florida ocean breeze." – PJ Parrish, New York Times bestselling author on The Next One Will Kill You.Ver livro
