Coming Clean


Book Description

Mix two lonely misfits, one aloof rabbit, a bag of shrimp chips, and what do you get? A terrific scandal. Diana "Di" Ho is a goth fashion designer failing to make it in LA. After begging the Universe for a sign, she's answered by the narcissist hiding next door: A-list actor Darien Lee, known to his fans as "Prince Charming," or sometimes "Space Darcy." Both desperate for a distraction, the two find comfort in each other's arms. But when their night of passion is caught on camera, they're forced to work together to cover up their mistake, despite assuming the absolute worst of one another. While cautiously collaborating, they begin to realize that things are not as they seem, and there's more binding them together than their burning attraction. Soon they're caught in a patchwork of lies, and the only way out is to cut ties or come clean—to each other, the public, and themselves. But does Prince Charming belong with a dark, moody princess, or was he never that sunny to begin with? Content warnings: mentions of divorce, infidelity (non-MC), racism, cyberbullying




Burl


Book Description

Burl is the story of one man’s unlikely rise from the coal mines of Appalachia to the pinnacle of journalism. After being diagnosed with a fatal kidney disease as a child, Burl Osborne pioneered home dialysis treatment and became the 130th person to undergo a live kidney transplant in 1966—then an unproven, high-risk operation. While managing his challenging illness, Burl distinguished himself early as a writer and reporter with The Associated Press, eventually rising to the top of the wire service’s executive ranks. Then, against the advice of his colleagues and the newspaper’s own doctors, he sought an even greater challenge: joining The Dallas Morning News to lead the fight in one of America’s last great newspaper wars. Throughout his life and career, he garnered respect from business and political leaders, reporters, editors, and publishers around the country. Burl thrusts readers into the improbable and remarkable life of a man at the forefront of both medicine and the golden age of journalism.




Falling for You

A year and a half after her husband’s death, Lina Miller is untethered and out of her element—the worst-case scenario for a rock-climbing chemist. But the pressure is on from her PhD advisor, and she’s quickly approaching the critical point when she must decide what’s next. Her one rule? Career first, love second. But rules have never stopped Asher Friedmann. As a New York City musician, the last thing that Asher needs is a heart that’s out of tune. Unfortunately, that’s all he’s got. Plus a trust fund. But what he wants is a new muse, and he’s willing to go to great lengths—and heights—to find her. When the two meet at a party, Lina gives him a chance…as a climbing buddy. But soon Lina finds herself dealing with a different kind of chemistry, one that could end up hurting them both. Will their bond be enough to overcome their past traumas, or will they have to face the music?

She is intent on avenging her dishonor by the man who had taken more from her than she could ever possibly imagine.

Born out of the ravages of war, theirs is a love that cannot be denied, blurring the boundaries forged by conflict until both are on the edge of a dizzying abyss where only passion matters, and surrender is sweet.
