For Jake Wrigley, the future is bleak. Some people are survivors, but he's getting by on his bad-boy looks and charming smile. He owns a gym, gets into bar fights, and wrestles his demons with rough workouts-both in and out of the bedroom. For Alyson Road, the future is bright. Life can only improve from where she grew up. She graduated at the top of her law class, cares for her ailing mom, and in her job, she defends those who can't afford anyone else. Her work is thankless but honest. Jake's twin brother has been covering his ass for as long as they've been alive, but that all changes when Jake finds himself in front of the fiery public defender, his future in her hands. For the first time ever, he doesn't want to involve his brother, finally realizing he needs to stand alone, be his own man. Even if Jake's never absolved of his past wrongdoings or his heart is never scrubbed of the blackness that resides there, he can do one good deed-protect the beautiful lawyer who touched his soul-until helping her nearly becomes his own undoing.

Jeanie thinks she was to blame for the sexual assault she suffered in college—and she’d do anything to keep her old-school Catholic family from finding out about the resulting pregnancy, as well as what she did to conceal it. Years have passed since the assault, and Jeanie’s husband, Greg, still thinks she’s the seemingly innocent girl he married in a rush to spite his controlling mother. It’s the height of the Seattle dot-com boom, and he’s too busy cashing in his stock options to pay attention to his wife. He isn’t aware of Jeanie’s lingering shame and guilt, or that she married him in the desperate hope that devoting herself to marriage and motherhood would somehow absolve her from the sins in her past. Their hidden agendas collide when Greg discovers evidence of Jeanie’s long-ago pregnancy. As she confesses the details of that drunken night with her married professor, Greg’s pristine image of her is blown. His shock deepens into violent fury, and Jeanie realizes she needs to leave him—but Greg won’t let her go. He’s up for a big promotion, and he’s not about to let her ruin his reputation by walking out on him. He’ll resort to blackmail if necessary. Or worse.

A literary historical novel August 1953, Fillmore, California Some wounds, some windows never close The throaty bass rumble of asbestos-wrapped pipes, the growling, grew closer, then stopped. The right sound, one of theirs. Connor and a few others in the bar looked up when Stamper walked into Gutter’s, his entry announced by the wood-framed screen door clapping shut, the tortured screech of rusty closure springs released from the stretch. Gutter Road is fast-paced ride through dust and decisions. Two men, Connor and Gentry, combat veterans, separated by layers in society. Connor a common man, left behind in the post-war upward surge. Thomas Gentry, an FBI agent in San Francisco. Each man has a need to help Artie Stamper, a mutual friend, taking different paths while struggling with poles apart personal demons, being pushed toward transformations, punching through lives with the women they’ve chosen in a shifting American culture. A rarely told story of men who came from other places, lured by California’s promises, falling like raindrops, absorbed in the California dust. Combat veterans. Soldiers who never stopped being soldiers, who missed the beat, the tight comradeship, the struggle to survive—at the same time hating it—riding grinding road machines to drown out the reverberating echoes and chaos of shell fire and the screams of comrades.

War veteran Clavain and a ragtag group of refugees have fled into hiding. Their leadership is faltering, and their situation is growing more desperate. But their little colony has just received an unexpected visitor: an avenging angel with the power to lead mankind to safety—or draw down its darkest enemy. And as she leads them to an apparently insignificant moon light-years away, it begins to dawn on Clavain and his companions that to beat one enemy, it may be necessary to forge an alliance with something much worse...
