Sinopsis

A riveting, epic historical novel set in 1940's Germany.

For all her life, idealistic 20-year-old bookworm Magdalena Arber has been split down the middle: veering wildly between fidelity to indoctrinated Nazi beliefs, and her father's humanist values. Then comes the summons–the Nazi War Labour Service is conscripting her into a teaching position in East Prussia. Magda is elated. It's a release from the cosy cage of childhood, and a chance to form young minds.

She enters a lush rural world of forests, lakes, and meadows where order prevails. Yet there are monstrous hands out to shape the whole continuum of earthly creatures. The Gestapo are a lurking darkness. There is bombing further East, and news of a moving Russian front. Will Alt Schönbek burn as well? Can Magda survive?

    Where the meals are unforgettable—and so are the secrets. 
    After losing her tech job and her live-in boyfriend in the same week, Nina Parrish leaves San Francisco for Milwaukee, determined to prove she can build a new life in the city’s booming restaurant scene. Her latest challenge is helping launch Forge, an ambitious pop-up in Walker’s Point where one flawless night could secure the future of a permanent restaurant. 
    Then the big night gets even more complicated: Nina’s parents arrive unannounced from California, eager to support the daughter whose sudden career change they still don’t quite understand. Before Nina can survive dinner service—and her family—Forge’s biggest guest collapses and dies during the meal, throwing the restaurant into chaos. 
    With suspicion falling on the staff and the future of Forge hanging by a thread, Nina starts asking questions the police haven’t answered. As she digs into grudges, hidden loyalties, and the damage Pike left behind across the Midwest food world, Nina realizes someone had every reason to want him dead—and may not be finished yet.

    Veronika Layne is a sassy, tattooed forty-something (okay, forty-nine) newspaper reporter who never saw herself working for a big corporation. When her small town weekly paper is swallowed up by Singh Media Group, that's exactly what happens. Further complicating her job, a sexy new reporter has been hired from the competing paper, and while he's terribly attractive, he remains the competition. But the fantasies won't stop and her best friend and fellow reporter Aiden is even starting to notice. Stuck writing fluff pieces that might as well be ads, Veronika can't resist digging into rumors that a local real estate developer is destroying Native American burial grounds. Warned away at every turn by her editor, who is not a supporter of investigative journalism nor a fan of social justice pieces, Veronika worries that her story will never see the light of day. And who knows what trouble these fantasies of a midlife romance with her competitor will cause her—especially with Aiden? This is the first in the three-book Hot off the Press series.

    Allyson Ford is fed-up with dating because, lately, it seems to be all about partying hardy, getting drunk, and getting laid. “There’s nothing but cavemen out there anymore.” 
    “Dating? Ha!” Steve McCallister barely escaped an encounter with one of the many cavewomen who constantly fill his college geology classes. Then, during a midnight run, his Eagle-Scout blood rises when he sees a damsel in distress. 
    Miracles of miracles, Allyson and Steve end up at an all-night dinner, talking endlessly about everything from life, dreams, marriage, and relationships-witnessed and wanted. Just when Allyson thinks she’s ruined everything, Steve suddenly proposes an incredulous idea that they get married. “Will you change your mind about what you want in a relationship in six hours, six days, six years, or sixty? Have you honestly told me what you want?” 
    Allyson knows her answer. But what about love? Shouldn’t it come first? Are Steve and Allyson going about this love-thing totally backwards? Their friends and families think so.

    England is bleeding. And there isn't a thing I can do about it. 
     
     
     
    I am once again a prisoner to Wessex, captured by King Egbert because holding me hostage will bring them to him—my two Vikings who will risk heaven and earth to save me. 
     
     
     
    But I don't need saving. I am Princess Emeline, and I was taught by the best, and his name . . . Skarth the Godless. The man whom I love more than anything in this world. 
     
     
     
    But things begin to blur when Ulf the Bloody reminds me of the promise I made, and that promise is that I belong to him. 
     
     
     
    We must work together to overthrow King Egbert, but the war I fight within my heart is far more dangerous than anything I will ever face on the battlefield. 
     
     
     
    The choice is not simple because we all must make sacrifices. But I soon realize that all is not fair in love and war. Lives will be lost. Hearts will be broken. And come dawn, life as we know it will be changed forevermore.
