Sinopsis

For James and Piers, life seems to offer everything – successful careers, financial security, a home of their own, cherished friendships, and holidays spent in Wales and East Anglia. Most of all, they have their deep love for each other.

But can their relationship survive the prejudice of others, especially James' controlling mother, Alice Kendrick, who is determined to tear them apart? As pressure mounts at work, James is forced to confront not only a dark and unsettling past but also the manipulative Marcus Stone, whose influence threatens to unravel everything.

Together, they share passions for gardening, church architecture, Venice, and even Piers' sometimes comical attempts at flower arranging. Yet, as the heat of the summer of 1976 builds, their simple pleasures are eclipsed by events that will test their love to its limits. A weekend by the sea becomes a defining moment, one from which there can be no return.

Set against the backdrop of university politics and ambition, Dark Runs the River is a tender yet gripping story of love, loss, and the strength to endure.

But her first dream slipped away after her little sister died of a fever and her mother passed in childbirth.

But then a Moonlight School for adults offers Kallie hope of finally fulfilling that goal.

That is, until her frantic search for her missing sister leads to an unexpected encounter with Quinn in the woods--their first meeting in six years.

But with their families locked in a bitter feud, following her heart could cost Kallie everything she's worked to protect.

    A young suffragist on the run finds more than refuge in the hills and hollers of Tennessee in this gripping historical romance from USA Today bestselling author Tamera Alexander.
    1905. Josephine Dunham is running for her life. After a women's suffrage rally in Atlanta turns deadly, she buys a one-way ticket on the first train out and lands in rural Tennessee. There, Dodge Coburn—a rough-edged stranger with undeniable appeal—begrudgingly offers her a ride to Lynchburg, a speck of a town where Josephine hopes to disappear.
    Battered and desperate, Josephine has little to say when Dodge delivers her to Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House. Hoping to work in exchange for room and board, she soon discovers the only job matching her skills is at Jack Daniel's Distillery, an irony not lost on a suffragist committed to prohibition.
    Dodge is skeptical of Josephine's claim that she's on the run from an abusive husband. But between running Jack Daniel's cattle farm and raising his young niece, he has little time or inclination to press her . . . at first. But when Josephine's convictions and compassion draw him in, Dodge begins to reconsider the life he's chasing, while Josephine must face a world far more complicated than the principles she's held to.
    As Jack Daniel's Distillery gains national recognition, Josephine's secrets resurface. In a place where whiskey making takes time but justice is too often hurried, Dodge and Josephine must decide what—and who—they are willing to risk everything for, and whether faith will hold when the cost is high and time is running out.
