Wo ich lernte, wie diese Welt wirklich ist, nachdem meine Mutter immer versucht hatte, genau das zu verhindern. Wo ich ihn traf und mich hoffnungslos verliebte.

Sophie kennt nur das einfache Leben in dem abgeschiedenen Haus mitten im Nirgendwo von Mississippi. Sie glaubt ihrer fanatischen und konservativen Mutter, dass die Welt ein schrecklicher Ort ist, und stellt deren Regeln nicht infrage.

A master of the macabre and an ageless crusader cross paths in the shadows of time...Ren has heard rumors of “Clockers” - the Descendants of Time who can travel through portals.

Ringo Devereux knows far too much for a man of his times. There's no simple explanation for it that doesn't involve improbable conversations about the future, and Ringo's advanced understanding of three-phase generators and the secret histories of his city are not things he can discuss with the Victorian Londoners around him. Even his origins as an orphaned street thief are far too dangerous for a young gentleman of means to reveal. An encounter with a 10-year-old pickpocket, and a luncheon with Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle draw Ringo back into the shadows of his criminal past.

Oliver's life has already been saved once by the gorgeous yet grumpy "close protection specialist" provided by Cipher Security, Dallas Profeit. She calls him uncooperative. He'd prefer to think of himself as unpredictable and stimulating.

For a woman traveling without her husband in the late nineteenth century, there was only one reason to take the train all the way to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, one sure to garner disapproval from fellow passengers.

In The Divorce Colony, writer and historian April White unveils the incredible social, political, and personal dramas that unfolded in Sioux Falls and reverberated around the country through the stories of four very different women.

There are three things you need to know about Anna. 1) She's a bounty hunter with adrenaline junkie habits, 2) She's the "awkward" twin, and 3) She's a thief - kind of. Darius designs security systems for Cipher Security, and the strange and remarkable woman he met the night the painting was stolen is as intriguing a mystery as his hunt for the thief is. But the lady has no filter, and she knows she can't lie to the man who looks like a Disney prince and kisses like fairytales are true.
