He studies me for a long moment, eyes glittering. There are hands on me, all over, every secret place. The same way this hotel is a symbolic cage, something we both enjoy. They’re symbolic chains more than real ones. It wouldn’t be very tight, but that’s not the point. Now I hold up the key thoughtfully, then tug at one end of the velvet ribbon. Once upon a time I had been a princess locked in a tower. “So I think I should be the one to make the rules.” “I’m the proprietor of this establishment now, am I not?” I beg to differ, but I’m not going to argue the point right now. He comes to a halt at the foot of the bed, his body vibrating with tension. When I’m in the middle, I hold up my hands. I manage to avoid his grasp by centimeters, fleeing into the bedroom, scrambling onto the high bed with its cool white sheets. The flash of violence in his golden eyes is the only warning I have before he charges. “Only a few?” I take a step backward, toward the bedroom. He leans closer, his expression predatory. “Then however will I unwind after a long week of studying.” Is Sky haunting him? Did Wilder have more to do with Sky’s death than he admits? And who is the woman drowning in the cove, whom no-one else can see? But as he writes, Wilder begins to find notes written in Sky’s signature green ink and events in his manuscript start to chime eerily with the present. This book will be Wilder’s revenge on Sky, a man who betrayed his trust and died without ever telling him why. And of Sky, Wilder’s one-time friend, who stole his unfinished memoir and turned it into a lurid bestselling novel, Looking Glass Sound.

Forced to take care of herself for the first time in her life, Piper is a total fish out of water in the close-knit community. But Piper’s latest fiasco is the final straw for her stepfather, who cuts her off financially and sentences her to 3 months in a small fishing town. She loves the finer things in life and makes no excuses about it. The story follows Piper, an almost-famous socialite who has never had to worry about money. It’s a seriously satisfying series starter that left me wanting more – I loved it. The combination of the two made for a fascinating, unique read that held my attention from start to finish. I never would’ve anticipated loving the high maintenance, socialite of a heroine, but I loved her as well. Talk about a slow burn to SIZZLE romance this was sexy, emotional, and HOT. I absolutely ADORED this gruff, closed off, alpha fisherman with a heart of gold – he made this opposites attract romance engrossing from the very start, and the steamy scenes were downright combustible because of his intensity. This hero? One of the BEST I’ve read about in a long while.

Him, I conceived in my mind, fully-blown, when I was about five (in first grade).Īs a child, I saw nothing wrong with imagining this fully-grown man in my head but as a middle-aged woman, I have to wonder what was going on in my child-mind that I made up adult characters instead of age-mates. My first character, Joshua Andrew Caine, was a 30-something cross between the Marlboro Man of the 1960s cigarette commercials and the blond version of Richard Chamberlain in Young Doctor Kildaire.

They’re so rich in detail, so accurate, and at the same time so broad in scope and dramatic that they’re more like epics of American life.

Caro has already published four volumes on Johnson’s life, with the fifth to come. Then Caro began to write about Lyndon Johnson, who signed much of the key progressive legislation of the nineteen-sixties but also presided over the disaster in Vietnam. The first book was about Robert Moses, the city planner who shaped modern New York more than any human being. He’s written about two politicians-just two-but both of them were masters in the art of wielding power.
