Sinossi

In "Helen of the Old House," Harold Bell Wright explores the themes of memory, loss, and the enduring connection between the past and present. Set against the backdrop of the American West, the narrative intricately weaves a tale of nostalgia through its rich character development and evocative descriptions. Wright's literary style embraces a blend of naturalism and romanticism, ultimately presenting a nuanced examination of human relationships and societal changes at the turn of the 20th century. As the protagonist navigates the complexities of her family's heritage and her own desires, readers are invited to reflect on the echoes of their past and the permanence of change. Harold Bell Wright, one of the earliest authors to gain immense popularity in the American literary scene, was deeply influenced by his personal experiences of hardship and faith. Growing up in a modest environment, Wright's understanding of struggle and resilience profoundly informed his writing. "Helen of the Old House" serves as a testament to Wright's ability to merge his spiritual beliefs with relatable human experiences, drawing from his own life to create characters that resonate with authenticity and depth. This compelling novel is a must-read for fans of early 20th-century American literature and those intrigued by stories that explore the intertwining of personal history with broader societal changes. Wright's poignant prose and rich storytelling invite readers to immerse themselves in the struggles and triumphs of his characters, evoking a sense of empathy and reflection that remains relevant today.

    Can the beast lurking inside Conrad be the answer to fighting the evil that threatens Kylo’s world? 
    A call changes everything for Conrad. He has one mission when he arrives in Paraguay: to ensure that no one finds Devil. His cage brother’s life depends on it. What he doesn’t expect is to meet his mate—the one man he cannot lie to and who seeks answers. 
    Kylo, pissed at the world and near a nervous breakdown when he discovers he’s been duped by the council lead, demands they send him an assassin. The ode ‘be careful what you wish for’ could never be truer for Kylo when the last thing he needs or wants is an assassin mate. 
    His sole focus is hunting for Devil. 
    The Fates have other ideas and when it becomes personal, both men have something to lose—love and family. Time is running out and they must work together to prevent the hidden force behind Devil from destroying everything in their world as they unravel the organization that has held Paraguay in a grip of terror. 
    Have the Fates made the right decisions? They are about to find out. 
    Conrad is the last book in the Assassins to Order series — a gritty MM Paranormal Romance. The book includes scenes of graphic violence and intimacies between two alpha males that will leave you begging for more.

    I wanted Asher and I to move past his confession. We’ve been friends for so long, we can get over anything, right? 
    Wrong. 
    Not only has our relationship fundamentally changed, but he disappears for a month and comes back to Harmony, engaged. 
    Gloria insists that I write the expose on their wedding. Asher’s fiancee is the daughter of the Mayor of New York City. It’s the kind of story that will restore the town’s trust in the paper after the Proctor disaster. 
    I try to be happy for Asher, I do. But he’s changing for his fiancee. Suddenly he doesn’t like things that he used to love. I begin to realize that maybe they don’t know each other as much as they are letting on. 
    Then everything changes when Asher and I kiss during a bachelor party game. That’s when I realize why I’ve been so unhappy. Problem is, I had my chance and I didn’t take it. And the thing with choices is, there’s no going back.

    I didn’t think Cole Watkins would come back to the diner. I’d almost forgotten about him and his contract until he shows up a month later, ready to take his place as co-owner. 
    I hate that I have to answer to this man. This diner was my chance to make a new life for my son and Cole is getting in the way of that. 
    Until Jasper is sick and Cole hands me a container of homemade chicken noodle soup that he made. Or when I’m tired, and Cole takes over in a way my ex never did. And when he’s playing cars with my son? I feel my resolve to hate him forever start to soften. 
    Aas soon as I try to get closer to him, to learn about the man under the suit, he shuts me down. In that moment, I realize Cole is not here to be my friend. I need to protect myself and my son. I’ve been hurt once and I’m determined to never get hurt again.

    A BRAND NEW heartwarming page-turner from the bestselling author of A Single Act of Kindness! Perfect for fans of Shari Low, Milly Johnson and Dani Atkins ✨ ❄️ 
    If you could spend just one more day with someone, who would it be? 
    When Lili sends a jokey ‘knock-knock’ message to her best friend Em, she doesn’t expect to hear back. Because – as Lili notices the chill in the air, and the little robin in her garden – she realises Christmas must be just around the corner once again. A whole year since she last saw Em. 
    But then this time someone replies. ‘Who’s there?’ It can’t possibly be Em, but Lili wants to believe it could be, and she hastily suggests meeting.  
    However when she gets to the meeting place, there only one other person there waiting. A man. And not just any man. The most handsome man Lili’s ever seen, Dylan… And he is also waiting for someone he’s been missing. 
    As the days get shorter and Autumn turns to Winter, will two lonely hearts spend another Christmas without their loved ones? Or can they welcome an unexpected friendship?
