Sinopsis

‘The Discarded Chapter and other stories’ is a collection of eight diverse and original tales, all published here for the first time. These stories span geographies, eras and realities, from East Anglia to Ukraine to Central Africa; the 1970s to a post-industrial future; and the material realm to the otherworld and afterlife. They explore a variety of human relationships, but with common threads: these characters are in thrall to the past and compelled by circumstances to confront awkward truths.

    Because every epic romance deserves an epic happy ending . . .  
     
     
     
    All Charles Heppel wants is a wedding. It's not much to ask now that he's set his playboy days aside for his almost-ordained fiancé. He can't wait for a lovely, lazy beach honeymoon with His Holy Hotness to continue Hugo's education in the bedroom. 
     
     
     
    Surely this third wedding date will be the charm and won't get cancelled, will it? After all, Hugo's followed his calling almost to the end of his path to ordination. Nothing should keep him from gaining his own parish with Charles as his husband. 
     
     
     
    Hugo's calling thinks differently, demanding he leaves for the remote island of Kara-Enys without Charles. 
     
     
     
    That news should be shattering, but if Charles Heppel has one thing going for him, it's that he's relentlessly optimistic. And romantic. Most islands have beaches, don't they? He'll join Hugo to have the honeymoon first on their own version of Love Island. They can get married later! 
     
     
     
    All he needs to do is find him . . .  
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    With her father dead, her fortune stolen, and her fiancé casting her aside, Miss Drusilla Merriweather's privileged life has been upended. She is left with only one option: to provide for her family by opening a finishing school in the allegedly haunted castle she's inherited from her eccentric aunt. However, her plan is immediately threatened by unscrupulous developers keen on claiming the coveted estate for themselves, by any means necessary. 
     
     
     
    Mr. Rhenick Wittenbecker, a dashing architect with a tendency to charm his way out of trouble, is convinced he can protect Drusilla but is challenged by her fierce independence. Yet when strange occurrences—walking suits of armor and unexpected ghostly visitors—arise within castle grounds, Drusilla must decide whether to risk her family's safety and her school on the gallant architect who seems to have found his way into her heart. 
     
     
     
    In this entrancing series starter, Turano presents a tale of laugh-out-loud adventure, swoon-worthy romance, and delightful mischief in the Gilded Age.

    Everly Avery is new in town, trying to establish her dance studio and help her older brother get his catering business off the ground in small-town Coral Canyon, all while keeping an eye on her younger brother as he goes off to college for the first time. She’s also Trace’s complete opposite. He’s tall and quiet, and she’s petite and bubbly. They get along like magic, though, and she’s surprised he tells her he can’t see her again after what she thought was a great date. 
    It was a great date, but Harry insists that Trace go out anyone but her. The teen takes dance lessons from her, as do the majority of his friends, and they all tease him about his dad dating Everly. He has a hard enough time fitting in because of Trace’s country music star status, and he begs his dad to find someone else. 
    So that’s that. Except Trace can’t stop thinking about Everly. So they come up with a plan. They’ll simply keep their relationship a secret. 
    Trace is happier than ever in his love life, but miserable at home with his son. Can the three of them find a way to become a family? Or will they each lose everything when the truth comes out?
