Summary
FROM THE AUTHOR OF “THE LILY OF THE WEST”
.
“Safe,” he breathed, every long-thrust promise branding her deeper than any bullet scar.
“My girl—my stubborn, brave, beautiful girl—forever my girl.”Eva Fairchild was born to silk parasols and blood-soaked cotton.
When she helps enslaved friends escape her father’s Mississippi plantation, she brands herself a traitor—and a price is set on her head. Captured by drifters and nearly sold to a brothel, she’s ransomed by an exhausted gunslick with thunder in his eyes: William H. Bonney, the outlaw history will call Billy the Kid.Billy only means to put the skittish stranger somewhere “proper” before the law or his enemies catch his scent again. But six months of dust roads, bounty hunters, bad whiskey, and one too many nights sharing a torn canvas tent will turn good sense to smoke. He is too rough for her softness, she is too soft for his roughness—yet her quiet courage keeps saving his hide.
They learn to trust each other’s bodies long before they dare trust each other’s hearts. But secrets drag behind them like tin cans on wedding ribbon. And when Eva discovers Billy’s plan to leave her, thunder finally strikes.

Summary
Coriolanus Snow is nineteen when the Games end—and this time, he doesn’t win. There’s no scholarship. No ascent. Just a quiet fall from grace, sealed with official silence. Stripped of status, future, and name, he’s left to navigate the Capitol from its forgotten corners where heat is rationed, water runs brown, and no one remembers how to say “Snow” with respect.
He’s a cautionary tale now. A boy who bet on the wrong tribute. Who learned too late that charm doesn't count without power to back it.Then he meets her.
She’s nothing like the Capitol girls he used to impress. Scarred and sharp. A medic with too many secrets and no patience for anyone pretending not to bleed. She’s not impressed by names or how well someone used to speak. And she doesn’t care who he used to be. Only who he is now—and who he’s willing to become.
This isn’t a love story. Not entirely.
It’s a story about survival, and what’s left when it stops being enough. About loyalty that demands more than blood. About the girl who died. The girl who didn’t. And the war—both literal and not—that neither of them expected to fight, but will. Together, or not at all.
Post-war. Post-legacy.
Snow falls quietly. -

Summary
"Wives sleep with their husbands. Ain't nothing dirty about it."
She ran from disgrace. He lived in silence. Neither expected to find comfort in each other-let alone love.
Clara Mae O'Sullivan has always been too much-too opinionated, too bookish, too unmarriageable. When she flees her privileged but suffocating life, bruised and disgraced, she finds unexpected refuge in the quiet company of William "Billy" McCarty-horse trainer, ex-convict, and a man known more for silence than kindness.He offers her shelter. She offers him a chance at something he never wanted: companionship.
But on the harsh frontier of 1880s Colorado, love doesn't arrive with grand declarations-it grows slowly, in the warmth of shared chores, the hush of a snowstorm, and the quiet promise of a steady hand.
"You love me, don't you?"
"Yeah. I reckon I do."A tender, slow-burn historical romance about finding home in the most unlikely place-and in each other.

Summary
Welcome to The Game!
There are no strict rules to The Game, and you only have one objective: to avoid capture. So, you have to use your smarts, rely on your instincts, and carefully plan ahead if you want to win. Outsmart the enemy, it loses a point and bides its time; get outsmarted by the enemy, and you get twice as close to getting captured. You may have to face multiple enemies at once. You won't die in The Game, but others might. You are at risk of losing yourself and compromising your core values as The Game progresses.
Will you prevail, or will the enemy ultimately land on top?

Summary
War is over. Peace is propagating Panem. Irregardless, deep in the decimated ruins of District 12, a peaceful future promises to be nothing more than a pipedream for its resident Victors.
Languishing in self-pity or wallowing in self-hatred, both Katniss and Peeta are active participants in a dance of avoidance. Self-sabotaging, refusing to acknowledge how visceral their desire for contact is, both are culpable of hiding behind misguided semblances of self-protection. Privately pining, as days mount to months, their only communication is via an intermediary. Although, after vanquishing a variety of dissociative thoughts and feelings, as pieces of the puzzle fall into place, Peeta and Katniss serendipitously find themselves brought together.
Sequestered away, confronting complex emotions and fragmented memories, perspectives shift in a solitary Spring night. Consequently, bolstered by a caring community, Katniss and Peeta commence navigating the growing pains of growing back together.
Relationships are forged, families are found, and flourishing on the horizon, a serene future patiently waits.
