    Claudia Morgan is overwhelmed. She's a single parent trying the best that she can, but her four-year-old son, Henry, is a handful—for her and for his preschool. When Claudia hears about a school with an atypical teaching style near her Chicagoland home, she has to visit. The Hawthorne School is beautiful and has everything she dreams of for Henry: time to play outside, music, and art. The head of the school, Zelma, will even let Claudia volunteer to cover the cost of tuition. The school is good for Henry: his behavioral problems disappear, and he comes home subdued instead of rageful. But there's something a bit off about the school, its cold halls, and its enigmatic headmistress. When Henry brings home stories of ceremonies in the woods and odd rules, Claudia's instincts tell her that something isn't quite right, and she begins to realize she's caught in a web of manipulations and power. This exploration of what a mother will do for her child is guided by the author's work with narcissistic manipulation and addictive power dynamics in her role as a psychotherapist.

With a mangled hand and a debt to his past, Alec needs two things before Ace’s big party: a clean bill of health and a trustworthy ally. But in a city where loyalty is bought and sold faster than a hand of cards, trust is a luxury he can’t afford.
 
Enter Fredrick—a bruised, broad-shouldered ex-linebacker with secrets of his own. Together, they form an uneasy alliance, gambling on each other’s strength and the promise of a treasure that could change everything.
 
When a shady doctor and his too-perfect nurse blur the line between help and hustle, Alec realizes every deal has a catch—and every favor, a cost. As the countdown to Ace’s party ticks away, Alec must decide whether to play it safe or go all in on the riskiest hand of his life.
 
Because in this game, even the King of Spades can lose his crown.
