Synopsis

Silas Marner is the third novel by George Eliot, published in 1861. An outwardly simple tale of a linen weaver, it is notable for its strong realism and its sophisticated treatment of a variety of issues ranging from religion to industrialisation to community. In Silas Marner, Eliot combines symbolism with a historically precise setting to create a tale of love and hope. On one level, the book has a strong moral tract: the bad character, Dunstan Cass, gets his just deserts, while the pitiable character, Silas Marner, is ultimately richly rewarded, and his miserliness corrected. The novel explores the issues of redemptive love, the notion of community, the role of religion, the status of the gentry and family, and impacts of industrialisation. While religion and religious devotion play a strong part in this text, Eliot concerns herself with matters of ethics and interdependence of faith and community.

    Who knew getting snowed in at the airport could be so much fun? 
    The nomadic lifestyle of a wildlife photographer is perfect for Ren Stewart—he travels the world with no obligations, no place to call home. With time between assignments, he’s ready to leave the cold New York winter for sunny California. But twenty inches of snow on a layover means his flight’s canceled and he’s stranded. It’s going to be a long, lonely night at the airport waiting for the snow to melt. 
    Lucky for Ren, he meets a gorgeous man and they hit it off. Too bad they’ll have to go their separate ways. 
    Or will they? 
    Something in Schaeffer’s eyes suggests he might be up for sharing the last available hotel room…and the bed. 
    Airline pilot Schaeffer Morgan is used to being alone. It’s hard to have a relationship when you’re only home for a few days at a time. He’s learned to live with stolen moments of pleasure as well as bigoted remarks from coworkers who don’t know he’s gay. 
    When a family vacation brings him face-to-face with the man he spent two lust-filled days with in a hotel room—the man he thought he’d never see again—everything changes. 
    Their days and nights together lead to the possibility of something Ren only dreamed of as a foster child—a family and a place to call home—while Schaeffer begins to open up about his painful past. As their time together comes to a close, they want to keep the magic of what’s building between them. But with Ren away for months on assignment and Schaeffer’s busy schedule, is that wishful thinking? 
    One thing is for certain: neither of them wants to say goodbye.

    They were surely fated. 
     
    This was meant to happen. 
     
    No shifter has complete control over their most primal instincts. They are meant to live free — and Cory was meant to breed and carry on his bloodline. He's at the time in which he is supposed to start a family, and it's too easy that Elijah had fallen into his life right now... a young, perfect omega. 
     
    But this is a world where rival packs of shifters hold century-old rivalries, and no one is safe... Even young omegas with no idea about their true ancestry... 
    All that matters is that Cory and Elijah's love is real. The power of their bond is undeniable — Elijah is carrying Cory's child, proving their love in the most powerful form a shifter knows... 
     
    A child born of two male parents, through male pregnancy. 
     
    But is a happily ever after the way their story will end? Or will it all come crashing down before this young omega in love comes to term?
