  When Emmy Cooper's life in Chicago is turned upside down, the young interior designer retreats to her family's lake cottage resort in the beautiful Wisconsin Northwoods for a much-needed break. Hoping to clear her mind and gain a fresh perspective, she looks forward to enjoying the slower pace and the crisp, clean pine air at her beloved Cooper's Cove Resort with her family, dogs, and her best friend, Whitney. 
   
   
   
  Unfortunately, her homecoming isn't as calm as she'd hoped when Emmy finds out a ruthless development company is relentlessly pressuring Lake Covington property owners, including Emmy's family, to sell their land so they can build an extravagant, modern resort that would ruin the quaint esthetic of the area. And things only get worse when Emmy finds the dead body of one of the developers floating in the lake—murdered! 
   
   
   
  Suddenly the police are involved, and since Emmy's father was leading the fight to stop the shady development from getting approval, he's quickly painted as the prime suspect. Now it's up to Emmy to prove her father's innocence, save the reputation of Cooper's Cove, and find out who would resort to murder.

  It could be said that Terra Olson has achieved her dream of being an archeologist . . . if you were liberal with the exact details of her duty as Freya's chosen. 
   
   
   
  Granted, she's hunting down magical treasures. Doing it at the behest of an eccentric curator and the goddess herself to prevent Freya's sacred belongings from falling into the wrong hands falls outside the job description she'd imagined. 
   
   
   
  Add in preventing the devious Villon's organization from claiming the artifacts for themselves, and their efforts to silence her for what she knows, and "archaeologist" is a distant dream. When a new treasure is discovered, it becomes a race to stop Villon from claiming it while unlocking its secrets. 
   
   
   
  On top of all that, the man who lost Terra's good graces when he attempted to kill her has returned. 
   
   
   
  Her former idol is the one leading Villon's mercenaries in their attempt to recover the artifact. 
   
   
   
  He wishes to right his mistake, and Terra wishes to return the favor. Only one of them can walk away from the inevitable conflict. 
   
   
   
  How will the Chosen of Freya fare against someone who has stolen the goddess' power for himself?

  Did you know that O. Henry’s real name, was William Syndey Porter? He had many pseudonyms but is most known as ‘O. Henry’. He wrote over 300 stories, and is known for playfully writing a twist at their end. Most of them are based in New York with characters being an ‘average joe’. A census at the time, stated there were about 4 million individuals living in NYC at the time, and that is how this volume of short stories, received its name. 
  Like the characters in his stories, his life was full of surprising twists and turns, from career jumping in the search for his ultimate passion, accepting his flaws, and following his heart. 
  The name he created for himself, remains his legacy to this day, as his work is so highly regarded, as classic must- reads, as well as an award named after him for outstanding short stories, and numerous media produced inspired by his various stories.

  Terrible Old Man The (The Work...

  A strange old man, "so old that no one can remember when he was young, and so taciturn that few know his real name," lives alone in an ancient house on Water Street in the town of Kingsport. Even among the locals, few know the details of the old man's life, but it is believed that he once captained East Indian clipper ships in his youth and accumulated great riches throughout his life. Those who had visited the property had seen bizarre collections of stones in the front yard and observed the old man carrying on conversations with mysterious bottles on his table, which make "certain definite vibrations as if in answer." Most locals take care to avoid the man and his house. Angelo Ricci, Joe Czanek and Manuel Silva, three robbers, learn about the old man's supposed hoard of treasure and resolve to take it. Ricci and Silva go inside to "interview" the old man about the treasure, while Czanek waits outside in the getaway car. After waiting impatiently for a long time, Czanek is startled by an outburst of horrific screaming from the house but assumes that his colleagues have been too rough with the old man during their interrogation. However, the gate of the house opens, revealing the old man "smiling hideously" at him. For the first time, Czanek takes note of the man's unsettling yellow eyes. The mutilated bodies of the three robbers are later found by the seaside, "horribly slashed as with many cutlasses, and horribly mangled as by the tread of many cruel boot-heels." The people of Kingsport talk about the discovery, as well as about the abandoned car and the screams heard in the night, but the old man shows no interest in their gossip.
