Synopsis

This is a short story.
 
- - -
 
In a small town where whispered rumors flow like water, two women are locked in a seventeen-year dance of grief, guilt, and unspoken truths.
 
Marina measures her life in seventeens: the number of cracks etched in her pristine pool, her age when her Olympic dreams were shattered, and the years spent watching her silent neighbor through windows that reveal too much and too little.
 
Seventeen. All, seventeen.
 
But when a late-night disturbance breaks the surface of Marina’s pool, she must finally confront the question that has haunted her for seventeen years: Is she anchored by loyalty to her pain, or drowning in the depths of unfinished battles?
 
*A haunting exploration of trauma, redemption, and the invisible threads that bind us to our darkest moments—even when we long to break free.

    When a quiet librarian meets a rising Formula One superstar, their chemistry accelerates from zero to heart-pounding in seconds flat. 
    Rachel: 
    As head librarian of Blue Ridge Public Library, I'm used to living life in the slow lane—surrounded by books, historical archives, and my aptly named cat, Solitude. Public speaking? Not my thing. Being the center of attention? Definitely not my thing. 
    So when I'm "volunteered" to give a VIP tour to a Formula One team during our annual Grand Prix, I'm ready to throw up like I did during my ninth-grade debate debacle. 
    Yet here I am, standing face-to-face with Theodore "T-Rex" Reyes, the rookie sensation taking the racing world by storm. With his swept-back dark hair, chocolate eyes that crinkle when he smiles, and an accent that makes my name sound exotic, he's even more devastating in person than on those posters plastered all over town. 
    Between vintage Mustang tours, motorcycle rides to hidden waterfalls, and an unexpected night under the stars, our chemistry is undeniable. But when his team locks him down before the big race, I'm left wondering if what's growing between us is just a Blue Ridge pit stop on his fast track to fame. 
    Now he's hinting at a future that seems too good to be true—one that might include trading in his globe-trotting lifestyle for a permanent spot in my small mountain town. 
    Can I trust that a man with a killer dinosaur nickname and who lives life at full throttle is ready to put down roots? Or will our whirlwind romance crash and burn when the checkered flag falls and real life comes calling?

    ‘Everyone is going to say what a great guy and a great lawyer he was. He wasn't. He was a prick … And a shithouse lawyer.' 
    Gavin Jones is dead at thirty-nine. As a lawyer who controlled millions of dollars in fees per year, he was legal firm Howard Greene's biggest client and wielded that power with manipulative contempt. But he saved his worst behaviour for women, at work and at home.  
    The partners of Howard Greene relied on his favour to fund their lavish lifestyles. If sycophantic admiration of the man was all it took to secure work from Gavin, that's what they delivered. But no one liked Gavin. The list of those who suffered from his cruelty was long enough to include pretty much everyone who had contact with him. So who actually killed him? 
    A fast-paced and wickedly funny thriller about power and revenge set in the pristine towers of capitalism, How to Kill a Client is a scorching debut straight out of tomorrow's headlines.

    From Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Robert Silverberg comes, To Open The Sky. 
    The Atom was their God—but there was something stronger… 
    At the beginning of the 22nd century, Earth colonies were established on Mars and Venus. But the ultimate dream - to travel to the stars - was still an impossibility. 
    Cults, fads, madnesses of various kinds swept the population. The maddest--and so far the most permanent--were the Vorst worshipers, the atom adorers, the believers in immortality through technology. 
    Yet there were the Harmonists, who believed that technology could never do it. And the hatred between the two factions was too deep to be reconciled - until a conflict on Venus between a Vorster priest and his Harmonist opponent resulted in unexpected developments.

    This journey of retribution will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about loyalty, honor, and the relentless pursuit of revenge in the name of justice. 
    When a CIA officer's wife is brutally murdered by Chinese intelligence officers, the lines between duty and revenge blur. Driven by a primal thirst for justice, Michelle Reagan and her team of covert operatives orchestrate an off-the-books mission to retaliate against the killer. As the CIA navigates a treacherous labyrinth of a Chinese espionage ring, they find their every move anticipated and their every tactic countered. 
    When the stakes escalate, the mission teeters on the brink of disaster. Will they avenge their fallen comrade, or will they become the next casualties in this deadly geopolitical power struggle? 
    EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a riveting exploration of the dark side of the intelligence services, the human cost of duty, and the brutal toll that seeking revenge takes on both sides. "Retribution" exposes a world in which trust is a luxury few can afford, betrayal is a constant threat, and survival is far from guaranteed.
