Synopsis

The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is bigger than the island of Manhattan. More than seventy million people pass through DFW each year. In Newcomers, five new people arrive at the airport. But they are not starting a vacation or traveling. They come to work. These young people emigrated from Bangladesh, China, Ghana, and Mexico. Some drive buses. Others sell coffee, books, and clothes. And some rub your aching neck and feet in day spas. Travelers pass by them without a second look. Yet their lives are challenging and complex. These employees become friends as they struggle to learn a new culture and understand a very confusing world of work.

    In this deeply moving novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a determined young woman must survive a series of abandonments to find a love that is worthy of her.  
     
    When she is only six years old, Allegra Dixon’s party-loving mother leaves without so much as a goodbye. Her father, an emotionally distant military officer, is also unable—or unwilling—to care for her. Sent to live like a ghost in her grandparents’ joyless home, Allegra finds her only solace through an escape into books. 
     
    Attending boarding school, life finally takes a turn when she meets a dashing young West Point cadet named Shep Williams. Soon their friendship blossoms into something more, and they fall deeply in love.  
     
    After college, Allegra has established herself as a book editor and Shep is rising through the ranks of the military. But then Shep suddenly receives a posting to Afghanistan, and they decide to marry before he goes. Between his deployments, they cling to their brief and fraught stolen moments together. Each time he leaves, Shep promises the separations will soon come to an end.  
     
    But soon Allegra realizes that the horrors of war have begun to change her husband into a man she no longer recognizes. The trauma he has experienced proves to be too harrowing, and Allegra will find herself feeling utterly alone again just when she thought she’d finally found happiness. 
     
    In her new novel, Danielle Steel tells the unforgettable story of a woman who refuses to give up until she finds the joy she deserves.

    Kyle is a young man looking to fulfill a fantasy 
      
    He came to Tokyo looking for the experience of a lifetime with women who were supposed to be falling over westerners. What he found was he wasn’t manly enough or gainfully employed and able to shower them with money.  
      
    But, his luck changes when he meets a cute little thing who takes him home for a fun ride. He’s too turned on to care much about what he finds – a lady who isn’t quite a lady – yet. Kyle’s just happy to be getting some, and he goes for it.  
      
    The job offer is what comes next. Tokyo citizens love westerners, alright, but it’s the Tokyo men who pay the most. And, the kinkier, the better. If Kyle will agree to a little surgery and a little transformation – he can keep that thing between his legs – it’s part of the kink – then he will have all the money he wants. 
      
    Will he undergo the procedures necessary to truly become his Tokyo plaything? Will the humiliation be too much, or will he pull through in the end? 
      
    PSA: This story contains a desperate man who feels forced into an undesirable situation. He’ll be dominated and humiliated by men and women alike, and gall darned if he doesn’t get off on... things... he never thought possible.

    Ess Fremont and the Blue Lotus Society know the Originators have been infiltrated by Revisionists, their ancestral enemies in the quest to rewrite or protect history. The treachery has reached even to their headquarters, Sanctuary, an underground complex near San Francisco. 
      
    Problem: The Society can't contact Sanctuary, or risk putting power into the enemy's hands. Yet Ess must go there to claim her heritage and learn how and why her grandparents vanished seven years ago. All her answers, and a vital weapon in the battle against the Revisionists could lie in her grandparents' vault -- and Ess herself is the key to open it. 
      
    Solution: Ask her family lawyers to "turn her in," and on the train ride cross-country, begin her education. 
      
    The journey launches revelations that threaten everything Ess knows as truth. As she uncovers schemes within lies within treachery, the fulfillment of her family's destiny rests heavy on her shoulders. 
      
    Who can she trust when her own grandparents blocked her memories, and the means to save or destroy them all are hidden in the vaults of her mind? 
      
    GUARDIANS OF THE TIME STREAM: set during the reconstruction of the United States in the decades following the Civil War. 
      
    Technology is on the rise, with locomotives and steam-powered industry, airships and other experiments in slightly anachronistic technology. A fascination with travel around the world and the exploration of other cultures, especially ancient cultures, is on the rise. 
      
    The Guardians, who call themselves the Originators, are descendants of travelers from our far distant future, who traveled into the distant past to prevent another group of time travelers from altering the world to suit their vision. And as Ess Fremont grows up and learns her heritage, her family's history and their secrets, she takes her place in the battle to protect the world.

    The ant scurries on the counter, alone and the only remnant of its poisoned colony. Empathizing with the ant, Natalie ponders putting it out of its misery. As a scientist, she knows her flowcharts point to humankind’s destruction: much like the ants, we polluted our colony too. 
    Heading up one of a handful of secret labs, Natalie’s mission to save humanity seems more like a cliché sci-fi movie than reality. Or maybe the world-weary views she possesses stem from her own bitter past. 
    Knowing the final days of humanity approaches, Natalie plans for her revenge and escape. 
    A dark tale of the world near death and one woman determined to survive against all the odds.
