SHE'D REPRESSED MEMORIES OF HER PAST Her hometown's annual celebration made the perfect cover for the real reason behind Elizabeth Monette's visit: she wanted to find the truth about her mother's murder. Instead, she found herself trapped—between a determined killer and one sexy cop. Elizabeth cursed her decision to hire local lawman Tommy Lee McCall. Yes, the man she'd always admired from afar could probably stop a bullet with his bare hands. The question was, could she survive his brand of hands-on attention? Going ten rounds with a killer would be easier than tangling with Tommy Lee. But the enemy was closing in…and she needed her hometown hero's protection….

Magic was never part of her plan. But you know what they say about plans... Juliette Mariana Fontaine has a secret, and it's not about spoilers on the telenovela in which she stars. There's magic in the air around her, and she can't decide if it excites her or frightens her - or both. All she knows is that she can't tell anyone, not her ailing auntie, or even her best friend. Victor Hernandez, Juliette's best friend, also has a secret or two. Not only is he a witch, but he's been tasked with protecting her and keeping her in the dark as much as possible. With Juliette's aunt's health declining rapidly, and Victor leaving for college soon, the time for honesty is running out. To make matters worse, magic has awakened in their little swamp town, bringing with it an ancient evil lurking in the shadows, seeking a human soul. Unfortunately, it has settled on Juliette as the perfect match. Struggling to balance her magic, Juliette must face difficult truths about herself, her feelings for Victor, and the price she'll pay if she claims her power. Can Juliette come to terms with who she is in time to save herself and everyone she loves?

Book Description
The “spellbinding tale” of an Alabama family and a troubled teenage orphan: “eloquent evidence that Southern storytelling is indeed a very special art form” (The New York Times Book Review). In the 1940s, Coden, Alabama was a hideaway for movie stars—an isolated playground tucked among live oaks and placid bay waters where pleasure and vice could be indulged. By the summer of 1974 Coden's glamour has faded, but it doesn't bother Mimi Bosarge, who is just happy to have a job as a live-in tutor with the wealthiest family in town, the Hendersons. When the Hendersons generously open their arms to Annie, a troubled teenager with no recollection of her past, Mimi's greatest concern is creating a curriculum for the family's new ward. But it soon becomes obvious that something is wrong. Annie seems suspiciously savvy for her young age, and Mimi can't quell the unnerving sense that there is something malicious about the waiflike beauty.

I Used to Live Here Once: The Haunted Life of Jean Rhys
Author: Miranda Seymour
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 1324006137
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
“Enthralling.… Seymour powerfully evokes the world from which Rhys never really escaped, one of prejudice, abuse, and abuse’s shamefaced offspring, complicity.” —James Wood, The New Yorker An intimate, profoundly moving biography of Jean Rhys, acclaimed author of Wide Sargasso Sea. Jean Rhys is one of the most compelling writers of the twentieth century. Memories of her Caribbean girlhood haunt the four short and piercingly brilliant novels that Rhys wrote during her extraordinary years as an exile in 1920s Paris and later in England, a body of fiction—above all, the extraordinary Wide Sargasso Sea—that has a passionate following today. And yet her own colorful life, including her early years on the Caribbean island of Dominica, remains too little explored, until now. In I Used to Live Here Once, Miranda Seymour sheds new light on the artist whose proud and fiercely solitary life profoundly informed her writing. Rhys experienced tragedy and extreme poverty, alcohol and drug dependency, romantic and sexual turmoil, all of which contributed to the “Rhys woman” of her oeuvre. Today, readers still intuitively relate to her unforgettable characters, vulnerable, watchful, and often alarmingly disaster-prone outsiders; women with a different way of moving through the world. And yet, while her works often contain autobiographical material, Rhys herself was never a victim. The figure who emerges for Seymour is cultured, self-mocking, unpredictable—and shockingly contemporary. Based on new research in the Caribbean, a wealth of never-before-seen papers, journals, letters, and photographs, and interviews with those who knew Rhys, I Used to Live Here Once is a luminous and penetrating portrait of a fascinatingly elusive artist.
