Whisking Love and Building Dreams

Jeanine Lauren

Sinopsis

A heartwarming small-town romance about healing, hope, and finding love where you least expect it.
 
Esther Shepherd has built a quiet, predictable life in Sunshine Bay—running her beloved bistro, sharing movie nights with her closest friend, and keeping her heart firmly guarded. After past heartbreaks, she’s convinced herself that love is best admired from a safe distance.
 
Curtis Woodrow has leaned on Esther more than he ever intended. When his wife (and Esther’s friend) passed away from cancer four years ago, it was Esther who helped him through the darkest days. She never asked for anything in return. But lately, Curtis has been seeing her differently... not just as a friend, but as the woman who just might hold his future.
 
As Curtis rebuilds his life and Esther tries to protect her own heart, their comfortable friendship begins to shift. With the gentle nudging of a nosy cat named Pearl—and the unexpected arrival of Esther’s estranged brother—buried feelings and secrets begin to surface.
 
Will Esther risk the safety of the life she’s built to take a chance on something more? And can Curtis let go of the past long enough to embrace a future that looks nothing like he planned, but everything he needs?
 
Whisking Love and Building Dreams is a sweet, emotional story of second chances, chosen family, and the quiet, steady love that grows when you least expect it.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
