Sinopse

Half Swimmer. Noun. A German term for one who has recently learnt to swim but hasn't yet mastered the technique.

Growing up in 1980s East Germany, as the daughter of an army officer and a teacher, Tanja seems set to become a model citizen of the German Democratic Republic. Except she has other ideas. And so, it turns out, does the course of history.

Half Swimmer is a collection of stories from one life, following a young girl as she attempts to forge her own identity under the social pressures of both the GDR, and the capitalism of a unified Germany.

    A bad spirit, a bad shifter, and a bad situation. 
    I'm Kami: tool spirit, former villain, and wannabe good guy. I have a human body now, which helps me understand why my mate Jack sacrifices himself for those he loves, taking the evil spirit Ambrose into his flesh so I can lead him away at gunpoint. 
    I understand, but I'm ill-equipped to deal with the aftermath, especially once Ambrose turns the tables and captures me. To make matters worse, someone is trying to harm young shifters and Ambrose is tapped to hunt the culprit. My captor's greedy grin suggests he's actually more interested in partaking of the spoils himself. 
    I have to find a way to free Jack before anyone else gets hurt and my mate is twisted beyond recognition. But can I be the hero Jack thinks I am when my own past is equally dark? 
    Wolf's Choice is a thrilling blend of swashbuckling urban fantasy, redemption arcs, and enemies-to-lovers romance. Don't miss this heart-pounding conclusion to the Time Bites series.

    A heart-wrenching story of courage in the face of unthinkable tragedy and an unbreakable bond that cannot be shaken . . .France, 1940.Orphaned sisters Léa and Rose live under the increasingly oppressive German occupation in Orléans. Times have been tough since their mother died - all they have left is each other - but practical Léa does her best to take care of Rose, the daydreamer.  Then Léa loses her job, just as Rose has a sudden and heart-stopping encounter with André, a handsome young French fugitive, that changes her life forever.  The women must flee the city, and everything they've ever known, finding safe lodgings with a kindly winemaker and his family on their Loire valley farm.  But they aren't safe for long. And, faced with the grim choice between imprisonment or travelling to Germany to work for the war effort, Léa - against everything she believes in - reluctantly chooses the latter, thinking only of taking care of Rose.  In a remote town in eastern Germany, Léa and Rose are confronted with the horror of the Nazis' brutality and treatment of the women workers, and learn to survive by clinging to the love they've each found in a bleak existence, and by keeping their enemy even closer . . .  Yet tragedy, heartbreak and betrayal await these brave sisters, as their bond is tested beyond anything they could have imagined in this heart-wrenching WW2 tale.Perfect for fans of Soraya M. Lane, Suzanne Fortin, Amanda Lees and Marius Gabriel.
