  Can an old electric guitar help when what Roland Hope really needs is a Christmas miracle?  
  "You made me cry. Thank you for a true, not cheesy, but great Christmas story!" – Tina Lincoln  
  It had been one year, and Roland Hope had still not learned a damn thing. Now, the week before Christmas, his world is falling apart. 
  His wife wants a divorce. His siblings hate him. Even his drunk, homeless father tells him to bugger off. 
  And his career as a high-paid contract negotiator is in danger of imploding if he wavers from the ruthless tactics that propelled him to a life of privilege. 
  In this contemporary holiday story, Roland turns to an unlikely source of inspiration – an old Fender Stratocaster guitar gifted to him by his once-famous musical father. 
  Facing the prospect of his bleakest Christmas ever, Roland discovers the old guitar still has some tricks left in it, as he rekindles a love for music he thought had died long ago. 
  In the spirit of It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol, the story of one man’s musical salvation will confirm your faith in the most magical season of the year. 
  Audiobook version includes original music, 'Is It Really Christmas' - performed by Matt Davies, Ania Hejnar and Duke Holmes

Her journey takes her from London to Virginia and back, entangled in moral ambiguity and societal critique. Despite her crimes, Moll’s resilience and wit make her a compelling antiheroine. Ultimately, she seeks redemption after years of vice, reflecting on her choices with a mix of regret and pragmatism. Defoe’s vivid storytelling blends social commentary with an unflinching look at human frailty, making Moll Flanders a timeless exploration of identity, morality, and the pursuit of happiness.

  I thought surviving Sterling Falls was the worst of it. 
  I was wrong. 
  Saint doesn’t remember the last two years—doesn’t remember the war we fought, the people we lost, or the way we burned for each other. To him, I’m a stranger. To me, he’s the man I can’t let go of, even if it feels like starting over with a ghost. 
  Reese shows up on the island, raw with regret and determined to prove he’s changed. 
  Kade follows, carrying secrets I’m not sure I want to uncover. 
  We’re trapped together in a place meant to heal but built to break us. And beyond the waves of Isle of Paradise, Ouranos is tightening his grip on Sterling Falls, tearing the city I love apart piece by piece. 
  If we can’t put our past betrayals aside and fight as one, we’ll lose more than the town we swore to protect. 
  We’ll lose each other. 
  And this time, there won’t be a second chance. 
  -- 
  Nemesis and Warrior must be read prior for continuity.
