Sinopsis

In "Broken Music," Phyllis Bottome intricately weaves a narrative that explores the fragmented lives of its characters, each grappling with the dissonances of personal and societal discord. The novel is characterized by its lyrical prose and rich emotional depth, reflecting the turmoil of the post-World War I era, a time teetering on the edge of modernity and tradition. Bottome deftly constructs a world where music serves as a metaphor for both harmony and chaos, echoing the characters' inner struggles as they navigate relationships marred by loss and unfulfilled aspirations. Phyllis Bottome, a prominent figure in early 20th-century literature, drew upon her rich background in theatre and her experiences as a war correspondent during World War I to infuse authenticity and urgency into her writing. Born in 1882 in England, Bottome's literary career encompassed a diverse range of genres, yet she consistently delved into themes of isolation, identity, and the human condition. Her personal insights into the tumultuous societal shifts of her time profoundly shaped her narrative in "Broken Music," exemplifying her distinct voice as an advocate for women's stories. This captivating novel is highly recommended for readers intrigued by character-driven narratives that delve into the complexities of human emotion and societal pressures. Bottome's resonance with themes of disconnection and longing encourages readers to reflect on their own experiences with personal identity and communal ties, making "Broken Music" a poignant exploration of the human spirit.

    The first time I met Murphy, the goalie of the Coyotes hockey team, I thought he was the most attractive man I'd ever seen. 
     
     
     
    The second time, we shared a wild night and I never planned to see him again. 
     
     
     
    Imagine my surprise when I showed up for a work meeting only to find out Murphy was my new client. He needed a bodyguard to pose as his live-in girlfriend, and I was perfect for the job. 
     
     
     
    And now I've discovered living together in such close proximity comes with its own set of challenges . . . The man never wears a shirt. Or pants. 
     
     
     
    The more I fight to keep things professional between us, the more he struts around in his boxer briefs trying to tempt me. 
     
     
     
    It turns out guarding the goalie may be easy. But resisting him is damn near impossible. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    She is waiting to be loved for the very first time. He is waiting to love her. But someone is dead set on making sure that never happens. Widowed Arabella Northwick went from the home of a father who didn’t love her to the home of a husband who didn’t love her. It would seem at last she was on the cusp of forging a happier future for her baby and herself, were it not for her dead husband’s brother, who is determined to keep them captive.  Theo Dawson was born and bred into the textile industry. He has never wished to inherit the mill and run it, but as the eldest son, no other choice presents itself. He might be able to resign himself to a life of duty rather than happiness were it not for the beautiful, widowed Mrs. Northwick, who is coming to mean every bit as much to him as fulfilling his duties.  With a wicked brother-in-law keeping a tight rein on Arabella and swearing she will lose her son if she marries, and problems at the mill that prevent Theo from any hope of passing it on to his younger brother, the two hopeless lovers have arrived at point non plus. What they will need to overcome—their only chance, in fact—is a stroke of good fortune.

    A lifelong friend finds something deep in the Everglades that is so very odd, that when he calls Jesse McDermitt, at first the semi-retired former special operator is in total disbelief. But he is also very intrigued, and the duo set out on another adventure reminiscent of their childhood days.  
    But their youthful quest had been all about fun and make-believe. This one was real, waiting nearly a century to be discovered. 
    There is another party interested in what Billy Rainwater stumbled upon. They have been searching for decades and will stop at nothing to recover what they believe to be not only their personal property, but their legacy. The Glades never gives up secrets readily. 
    Deep in the River of Grass, untold dangers lurk, waiting to snatch the unwary. It raises its ugly head in the backcountry of the Middle Keys, as well. But when it finds its way into the parking lot of Jesse’s favorite watering hole, a line in the sand has to be drawn once again.
