Synopsis

Indiana is the story's heroine, a young noblewoman descended from French colonial settlers from Île Bourbon who lives in France. Indiana is married to an older ex-army officer named Colonel Delmare and suffers from the lack of passion in her life. Indiana does not love Delmare and searches for someone who will love her passionately. Her cousin Ralph is in love with her, but she overlooks him and falls in love with their well-spoken neighbor, Raymon de Ramiere. Indiana escapes the house to faithfully present herself in Raymon's apartments in the middle of the night, but they don't get along and Colonel Delmare takes Indiana to Île Bourbon. Indiana returns to France on a perilous sea journey during the French Revolution of 1830, where she reconnects with Raymon, but also with Ralph, which further complicate matters. The novel is an exploration of nineteenth-century female desire complicated by class constraints and by social codes about infidelity.

    New Year's Eve is usually a night of fun and wild celebrations, but for a police officer, it can be the most dangerous night of the year. 
     
     
     
    Officer Ellis Mason has worked as a beat cop on the streets of Atlanta for over eight years, and he knows what it takes to survive them. But when Lieutenant Godfrey and his infamous narcotics task force issue a dire warning about a lethal drug that's coming to the city, Mason finds himself fighting a war he's not trained for, with God pushing him beyond his limits. 
     
     
     
    Mason and his partner are both on high alert, but the moment he stops the tall, handsome drifter who wandered into town, Mason knows he doesn't belong. 
     
     
     
    Jesse Holstrom is lost and possibly in trouble, but Mason's instincts tell him that it isn’t the drug-dealing kind. Every night that Mason patrols by and sees Jesse huddled on a park bench, cold and alone, it pulls at his heart a little more. Mason doesn't know how the young man ended up homeless and lost in his neighborhood, but when Jesse ends up on God's radar, Mason knows he doesn't have long to find out. 
     
     
     
    Mason promised himself he wouldn't let a good thing slip through his fingers again . . . not this year.

    Some fires can't be contained. Some obsessions never burn out. 
     
    Firefighter Marcus McCabe has faced infernos that could swallow a city whole—but nothing feels as dangerous as the man watching him from the flames. 
     
    When a string of arsons turns personal, Marcus is thrown together with James Reynolds, a brilliant forensic psychologist with a past he won't talk about. Their chemistry is instant—raw, reckless, and impossible to ignore. 
     
    The deeper they dig, the more chilling the truth becomes: the arsonist isn't just setting fires. He's sending Marcus a message. 
     
    With the city on edge and the predator closing in, Marcus and James must decide what scares them more—the monster in the fire, or the heat between them.

    Can the strength accumulated over a lifetime of losses be enough to cope with a daughter’s death? 
    What was it like growing up as a smart girl in a world of 1970s suburban conformity? What family secrets were hidden behind the vertical blinds and sliding glass doors, or swept under the orange shag carpets? Is it possible to move from married mother-of-two to lesbian feminist activist without passing heartache? 
    In her bittersweet memoir, Mary Fairhurst Breen sketches scenes from a life darkened by four generations of mental illness and addiction. Despite the odds, Mary’s sense of humor and willingness to practice “radical acceptance” see her through the chaos to a life full of friends, art, and the joys of being a grandmother. Ultimately, she must face her greatest challenge of all when her daughter becomes one of the tens of thousands of people every year to die of opioid poisoning. This is a journey of awakening and activism, and a portrait of a life to be celebrated in all its complexity.
