Sinopse

A story with a compassionate eye, the heartwarming vibes of A Man Called Ove mixed with the high emotional stakes of Anne Tyler, Cattail Lane is an uplifting family drama about overcoming the past and the extraordinary power of second chances
		 
Nick Ackerman’s life is an aimless circuit between his uninspiring job and the local bar until a note from a stranger changes everything. He learns he has a 14-year-old son, Billy, whose grandmother can no longer look after him. Railroaded into fatherhood, Nick takes in the resentful Billy and shuffles Grandma Evie off to the nearby dementia ward at Prairie View Manor. Things get off to a rocky start: father and son are little more than strangers, and Nick struggles with his new caretaking role while Billy can’t seem to let go of his. Luckily, there is Sarah, a housekeeper in the dementia ward and the single mother of an energetic and offbeat five-year-old. It is Sarah who Nick turns to as a parental role model and maybe something more.
		 
Nick, Sarah, and Billy all carry their own betrayals and disappointments and are used to keeping others at a distance, but during the dog days of summer, they are given a chance to leave past hurts behind and find a new kind of family.
		 
Compassionate and closely observed, Cattail Lane is a moving exploration of forgiveness, second chances, and the everyday moments where we might find our way to one another.

    The Adventurer is a Barbara Cartland novel like no other. Set before, during and after World War One, this is not the story of a King, a Lord or a dashing battlefield hero: Frank Swinton is quite the opposite. He is an adventurer: a man determined to raise himself above the drudgery of a
     
    nine-to-five job. Tall, dark and attractive, if not exactly handsome, he uses his charms to swindle lonely ladies out of their money. That is until he’s trapped by his own weakness and greed in a loveless marriage–and hates himself as much as his obsessive and embittered bride. Eventually he manages to unshackle himself, flee overseas and find the courage to fight for his country–but will he ever escape and rediscover his long-lost soul and the love his greed allowed him to leave behind? All is told in this moving story about a man’s search for redemption and that in the end, love is enough.

    I always thought getting accepted into Elite Order Academy would finally make my family proud.
     
    Perhaps then they would stop controlling my every move. Maybe my brothers would stop resenting me. Perhaps I wouldn’t feel so invisible anymore.
     
    No one believed I could do it—not even my mate, Alpha Jaxon Trevane.
     
    The night I planned to tell him... I found him tangled in bed with my best friend.
     
    Heartbroken and humiliated, I left everything behind and went to Elite alone.

    Beneath the grand halls and traditions, a brutal game is being played.
     
    The four ruling Alphas of the North, South, East, and West fight for power, dominance... and now, for me.
     
    A virgin. Untouched. Unclaimed. The prize they all want.
     
    There’s the mate who shattered my heart and swears he’ll win me back.
     
    The brilliant strategist who wants me as his Luna.
     
    The dangerous playboy who promises no one will ever touch me but him.
     
    And the cold, possessive Alpha who watches from the shadows—and would destroy anyone who dares to take me from him.
     
    But in a place where love is a battlefield and lust is a weapon... falling in love might be the most dangerous thing I ever do.
     
    Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
