  To save her son, she'll marry a man who has sworn off love. 
  After her wealthy in-laws launch a vicious custody battle, widowed nurse Kelsey York is out of options. Her only hope is a marriage of convenience with Preston "Mac" MacCormack—the island's resident grumpy billionaire who is determined to sail away from his own tragic past. The deal is simple: she gets a husband with the power to protect her son, and he fulfills his grandfather's dying wish. 
  But due to their forced proximity in a small cottage on the coast of Maine, their carefully constructed arrangement begins to crumble. The lines blur between protector and partner, between a fake marriage and a real found family. Mac finds himself captivated by the fierce single mom and her bright, curious son, the two people who threaten his vow of solitude. 
  Just as they begin to imagine a future together, a shocking act of violence reveals the true depths of their enemy's obsession. And when a grim discovery is unearthed on the grounds of the island's historic mansion, they realize the secrets of Widow's Point are far deadlier than they ever imagined. 
  This page-turning romantic suspense is perfect for readers who love a protector hero, a resilient heroine, and a story where a temporary arrangement leads to a love that could last forever.

  "The Adventure of the Norwood Builder", one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is the second tale from The Return of Sherlock Holmes. The story was first published in The Strand Magazine in 1903 with original illustrations by Sidney Paget.
  Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are visited by "the unhappy John Hector McFarlane", a young lawyer from Blackheath who has been accused of murdering one of his clients, a builder called Jonas Oldacre. McFarlane explains to Holmes that Oldacre had come to his office only a day earlier and asked him to draw up his will in legal language. McFarlane saw, to his surprise, that Oldacre was making him the sole beneficiary and even heir to a considerable bequest, and McFarlane cannot imagine why Oldacre would do so. That business took McFarlane to Oldacre's house in Lower Norwood, where some documents had to be examined for legal purposes. They had been kept in the safe, where the murder allegedly took place. McFarlane left quite late and stayed at a local inn. He claims to have read about the murder in the newspaper the next morning on the train. The paper said quite clearly that the police were looking for him.
