Summary

Ruth has lived at Netherburn, her home in the remote moors of Scotland, ever since she was a small child. It's a home with a history, and, having seen her own children grow up and move on, Ruth is trying to make sense of it all. From her Father's death, to her ex-husband leaving and her lack of contact with her sons. But she's not alone with her thoughts: her empty house has become lively once again as various people - with equally complicated pasts - come to lodge at Netherburn, and Ruth finds herself helping them through their pain; some of which won't stay in the past. Forgive is the story of Ruth, and those living at Netherburn, as they live their lives and try to move on. But the question always looms for Ruth, what does it mean to forgive?

    In the heart of Paris, where art and ambition intertwine, the boundaries between genius and madness blur. A tale of creation, obsession, and the quest for perfection, this story dances on the edge of brilliance. The artist, driven by an insatiable desire to capture the unattainable, confronts the fragility of his own vision. As the canvas comes to life, so too does a world where nothing is as it seems, and the cost of true artistry might just be too high.
    Balzac's story whispers of the fine line between genius and obsession, where the artist's soul is as fragile as the masterpiece he seeks. It's a tale of mystery that unveils the delicate balance between creation and destruction. With every stroke, the artist is both consumed and liberated, creating not just a work of art, but a haunting reflection of his own inner turmoil.
    Elegantly weaving themes of passion, ambition, and the price of greatness, Balzac captures the essence of artistic endeavor and its dark allure. It is a story that speaks not only to the artist but to anyone who dares to chase perfection, knowing that the pursuit may well cost more than expected.

Now, her coach has even bailed. 
    When Gabriel Torres discovers his rival, April’s former coach, has dropped her mid-season, he has a choice to make: stick with the plan and a team that’s sure to win or add April to his roster. She’s a risk—one that may cost him his chance at making the dream team of his coaching company, and yet, he sees a spark in her—something he’d pay good money to bottle and add to his other athletes’ electrolytes. 
    As training heats up, their relationship slips from professional to casual to something else entirely, and they soon realize there is more at stake than just a race.
