Sinopse

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?

    All incubi have a price, a curse-specified number of couplings they require before their curse can break and they turn back into a human.
    When Friedrich, the most popular jade in Idyll's thriving brothel, gets hired by the mayor to clear an incubus out of the old haunted house on the edge of town, he doesn't think much about what will come after the poor soul's curse is broken. So he's more than a little taken aback when the newly-restored Nathan first rebuffs him, and then backtracks on his initial hostility and seeks out his services again -- just for tea and conversation, of course. 
    Juggling a busy professional life, appeasing the friends he left behind to take the mayor's commission, and teasing his best friend about his own budding romance, Friedrich doesn't notice himself falling for the new man in town until it's too late to go back. But does Nathan want more from Friedrich than he pays for?

    Val 
    When I was nine, I went to my first funeral. Along with accepting my father's death, I had to accept new and awful truths I wasn't prepared for. 
    When I was nineteen, I went to my mother's funeral. We weren't close, but with her gone, I became more alone than ever before. 
    Sure, I have a half-brother who runs The Alliance. And yeah, he's given me his protection—in the form of a bodyguard and chauffeur. But I don't have anyone that really knows me. No one to really love me. 
    Until I meet him. The man in the airport. 
    When one chance meeting turns into something hotter, something more serious, I let myself believe that maybe he's the one. Maybe this man is the one who will finally save me from my loneliness. The one to give me the family I've always craved. 
    Dom 
    The Mafia is in my blood. It's what I do. So when that blood is spilled, and one funeral turns into three, drastic measures need to be taken. 
    When this battle turns into a war, I'm going to need more men. More power. I'm going to need The Alliance. 
    And I'll become a member. By any means necessary.

    They’ve helped orchestrate the perfect day for countless couples. Now twelve new couples will find themselves in the wedding spotlight in the second Year of Weddings novella collection. 
    Meeting Nate was truly an accident—but Amelia finds that he’s one of the few people she can count on. 
    Amelia Woods is a small-town wallflower and the proud owner of Forget-Me-Nots, a quaint flower shop that once belonged to her mother. Despite her success in business, her love life has always been a bit lackluster. Until she spies on her ex-boyfriend’s wedding and ends up in a horrifyingly embarrassing fender-bender with handsome wedding guest, Nate Gallagher. 
    Meanwhile, Amelia’s younger brother, William, has proposed to his girlfriend. Amelia would be excited except she has evidence that the fiancée is not who she says she is. How can she be supportive and yet be the protective big sister too? It seems Nate is the only one available for any advice-giving, and he’s good at it—and pretty fun to talk to, too. Amelia and Nate strike up an online relationship, but always lingering in Amelia’s mind is the fear that he’ll realize she’s not nearly as appealing in real life. 
    As Amelia works to craft the perfect flower arrangements for other people—including a ninety-year-old “fairy godmother” named George—she begins to wonder if real love is better than the dream. And if it is, will Nate still be interested when he learns who she is?
