  Oliver Stoll's life has gone up in smoke. Literally. Escaping an apartment fire, he's made it out with little more than the clothes on his back and his best friend and downstairs neighbor, Mia. With few other options, he agrees to stay with David Elliston, Mia's older brother. David was Oliver's first crush, first kiss, first everything. That is, until the day they broke up five years before. It hadn't been pretty.
  David Elliston is back in town. Offered the chance to oversee the Kellmen Group's newest magazine acquisition, he isn't going to let a years old heartbreak stop him. But being thrown together with Oliver is harder than expected. And the flicker of hope he's long tried to bury becomes even more difficult to contain.
  Ex-lovers, best friends, and angry parents don't make the best backdrop for rekindling a romance. But it's the lies from the past that might just extinguish any chance they have of starting over.

  Lame, with harsh features, brooding eyes, a wiry beard crackling with flame, and ropy muscles, the god mortals call Hephaestus is nobody's idea of perfection. Indeed, far from it. A lingering odor of burnt solder clings to him, adding to his manly stench of sweat and musk. His bed is narrow and lonely, his sheets filled with soot and regret.
  
  
  Blacksmith to Olympus, he hides from his kin on an island in the Mediterranean, commissioned to forge a hero's sword from unbreakable metal. But a brief tryst with a minor water god distracts him. Aean is everything Hephaestus is not -- young, beautiful, sexy. He stirs in Hephaestus a savage lust the smith has never felt before.
  
  
  Now Hephaestus wants Aean for his own, and he won't rest until the water god is his.

  Puppeteer Beatrice Snowdrop is well used to chatty dolls with attitude. Fortunately, headmistressy Miss Beatti knows how to discipline naughty toys. And how!
  A failed relationship forces Beatti to shut up shop and hunker down for winter. The days become lonely and cold. She misses crafting dolls, but she isn't going to make another puppet or date another woman. Definitely not! 
  Come springtime, old flame Evie Fine offers a cash prize for the best Easter doll. Beatti wonders if her ex wants to lure her back to the toy business or if she seeks to rekindle their relationship. Either way, temptation is difficult to resist and Beatti eventually crafts a new doll. 
  Pokio ... Oh, Pokio, a feisty doll with cheek aplenty. She insults Beatti from the get-go and proves to be more than a handful. Worse, Pokio can read her mistress's innermost thoughts, and can spot a fib a mile away. 
  Quite soon the strings controlling Pokio are abandoned. It's Miss Beatti who does as she's told and Pokio who calls the shots. Switching roles is fun! They forget every rule of doll making and instead notice each other as women. 
  Pokio develops into a loving, thoughtful doll who adores her mistress. Exactly what Beatti needs. It's only natural and right when affection blossoms like the spring flowers. 
  A kiss is shared, an ancient spell released. Can a doll become a real woman? What does real even mean?

  The Cole women are cursed. Each generation will birth a daughter, lose their love, and, as surely as the tide beats against the rocky shore, take her own life by giving herself to the sea. For generations, the Cole women have lived as outcasts, maintaining a lighthouse on a small island off the coast of New Hampshire. Ever since their ancestor was accused of witchcraft and cast into the sea hundreds of years prior, the islanders have ostracized the Coles, distrusting their rumored magic and their control of the lighthouse.Despite their mistreatment, the Cole women are compelled to remain on the island because they know that if a Cole woman does not light the beacon on Juniper Island, anyone who is out at sea will be drowned. Out of guilt and obligation, the Cole women live out their solitary lives on the island, knowing someday their recompense for protecting the people from the sea will be to die in the sea themselves.Told in three interwoven timelines in the late twentieth century, The Curse of the Cole Women unravels the lives of three women who struggle with their relationships with each other as they contend with the reality of their fates—is it truly a curse, or is it generational madness that drives Cole women to the sea?
