  Twenty-five years ago Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Lawrence Block introduced his acclaimed unlicensed private investigator to the New York crime scene. Today Matt Scudder remains one of the most complex, richly human protagonists in noir fiction as he pursues a faceless adversary with a unique talent and taste for murder. 
  When Byrne and Susan Hollander are killed in a brutal home invasion, the whole city catches its collective breath. A few days later the killers turn up dead behind a locked door in Brooklyn. One has killed his partner, then himself. The city sighs with relief. The cops close the case. 
  Matt and Elaine Scudder were in the same room with the Hollanders hours before their deaths. In spite of himself, Scudder is drawn to the Hollander case. The closer he looks, the more he senses the presence of a third man, a puppet master who manipulated his two accomplices, then cut their strings when he was done with them. 
  The villain who looms in the shadows is one of Block’s most inspired creations, cold and diabolical, murdering for pleasure and profit. Nobody but Scudder even suspects he exists—and he’s not done killing. 
  He’s just getting started. . . .

  Not even a warning could keep me from her. 
   
   
   
  Bama: My brothers knew I had my eye on Jordyn and told me to stay away. She was everything I ever wanted in a woman—beautiful, smart, and confident. Jordyn wasn't just any MC princess. She was one of Kat's younger sisters, and most of the old heads in the club watched her grow up. 
   
   
   
  One night, I was at a bar in Billings, minding my own business when she strutted in with some sleazy jerk. I knew he wasn't good enough for her, but I kept my nose out of it. If she wanted to go on a date with some joke like him, I'd let her. At least, I let her until he said something so out of line, I was left no choice—I had to intervene. 
   
   
   
  I don't know how it happened, but one thing led to another, and we were in a hotel room that night. We made a vow it was a one-time thing, and at first everything was fine. Yet, over time all I wanted was more. 
   
   
   
  Nothing would keep me from Jordyn. Not her parents, or the miserable POS who took her out on that date. 
   
   
   
  I discovered something about him that is nerve-wracking, and Jordyn had no idea who he was.

  Emma

  Jane Austen

  Emma, by Jane Austen, is a novel about youthful hubris and the perils of misconstrued romance. The story takes place in the fictional village of Highbury and the surrounding estates of Hartfield, Randalls, and Donwell Abbey and involves the relationships among individuals in those locations consisting of "3 or 4 families in a country village". The novel was first published in December 1815 while the author was alive, with its title page listing a publication date of 1816. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of genteel women living in Georgian–Regency England; she also creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters and depicts issues of marriage, gender, age, and social status.
  Before she began the novel, Austen wrote, "I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." In the first sentence, she introduces the title character as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma is spoiled, headstrong, and self-satisfied; she greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives; and her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray.
  Emma, written after Austen's move to Chawton, was the last novel to be completed and published during her life, as Persuasion, the last novel Austen wrote, was published posthumously.
  This novel has been adapted for several films, many television programmes, and a long list of stage plays. It is also the inspiration for several novels.

Laney moved on and found a different happily ever after . . . While I wallowed in grief and regret. And now she's here, reminding me that I made the biggest mistake of my life.

  I loved Harrison Montgomery since the first day he saved me a seat in kindergarten. He was my best friend, my own real-life prince. He taught me to ride a bike and showed me how to shoot a three-pointer in basketball. He was my first kiss. My first love. My first heartache. My first everything. I don't believe in happily ever after anymore. Harrison forced me to write a new ending to my story. But seeing him again after all these years—it makes me want things I shouldn't. Because that chapter of my life is closed forever.
