Pages : 934
Book Description
Steamy college romances. A nefarious criminal enterprise. Can new love overcome evil in the world? You’ll lose yourself in these books because the characters seem so real you’ll wish you could become actual friends. Meet the crew at the House of Donato, a network of pals and acquaintances brought together in Marquette, Michigan, by Izzy and Tom Donato, twin brother and sister, attending Northern Michigan University. Follow these three couples, Etta and Tom, Izzy and Murphy, and Peggy and Donovan, as they find romance in the least expected places. While they are getting to know each other and falling in love, unknown to them, a mastermind was building an empire on the back of hockey programs across the country. When their lives collide with his plans, anything can and does happen. Spine-chilling suspense. Heart-breaking tragedy. Incredible sacrifices. Henrietta Etta and Tom have kissed passionately but don’t remember it. They’re both starting life over, she as a writer in grad school and he, as a former hockey player, after a career-ending injury. They start out as friends, but soon their relationship blossoms into much more. Is it possible to start over fresh with baggage from the past? Or will what went before come looking for you when you least expect it? Words from another Henrietta, who re-built her life from tragedy, bring answers that allow Etta to move forward. It may be too little too late. Isabella Murphy is a handsome blue-eyed hockey player with corny jokes and a troubled life. He also can’t read. Izzy becomes his beautiful tutor and saves the day, but she’s off-limits. When one thing leads to another, Izzy’s never quite sure if she can trust this slick-tongued stud. Over and over again, they come together and fall apart until a wise, old friend helps Murphy see what he’s missing. Can these two passionate lovers overcome years of disappointment to find each other again? Will Izzy take that final step and give with her whole heart despite Murphy’s impetuous ways? Margaret Peggy is Etta’s brilliantly talented cousin and a virtuoso pianist going off to study at Julliard. Donovan is Tom’s best friend, a Duluth native and a small-town cop, starting a new career in NYC as an FBI agent. As friends of friends, becoming roommates was almost inevitable. When she becomes deathly ill and he saves her life, their desire for one another pushes them over the edge. Can they hold their new relationship together during bad times, distance, jealousy and people trying to kill them? If you enjoy sensitive, exciting, sensual romances with just the right amount of heat, download this box set today!

A Drop of Patience
Author: William Melvin Kelley
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 1984899317
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
One of the great jazz novels of any era, A Drop of Patience tells the story of a blind horn player's journey through the themes of race, blindness, and music. At the age of five, Ludlow Washington is given up by his parents to a brutal white-run state institution for blind African American children, where everyone is taught music—the only trade by which they are expected to make a living. Ludlow is a prodigy on the horn and at fifteen is "purchased" out of the Home by a bandleader in the fictive Southern town of New Marsails. By eighteen, he is married with a baby daughter, but as his reputation spreads, he seeks to grow musically, leaving his budding family for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in New York City. Navigating the worlds of music and race and women, Ludlow's career follows an arc towards collapse, a nervous breakdown, recovery, a long-delayed public recognition, only for him to finally abandon the spotlight and return to his roots and find solace in the black church. A Drop of Patience is a brilliant portrayal of a jazz musician. It stands apart as an exemplary parable of African American history, of racial politics, and of musical creative genius.
