Adult Fiction
The Affair by Danielle Steel.
When Rose McCarthy's staff at Mode magazine pitches a cover shoot with Hollywood's hottest young actress, the actress's sizzling affair with a bestselling French author is exposed. The author happens to be Rose's son-in-law, which creates a painful dilemma for her. Her daughter Nadia, a talented interior designer, has been struggling to hold her marriage together, and conceal the truth from their young daughters, her family, and the world. But Nicolas, her straying husband, is blinded by passion for a younger woman--and not only that, she is pregnant with his child. Nadia's three sisters close ranks around her, flying to Paris from Los Angeles and New York to lend support and offer their widely divergent advice. Athena, a jovial celebrity chef with her own TV show in Los Angeles, is leery of marriage. Olivia, a stern conservative New York superior court judge, is haunted by a shocking secret of her own. Venetia, a zany fashion designer, happily married with three kids, has the gentlest, most realistic point of view. Despite their well-meaning advice, Nadia needs to figure out what she herself thinks, and what to do next.
Destined for You by Tracie Peterson.
In 1869, Gloriana Womack's family is much smaller since smallpox killed her mother and two of her siblings. She lives in a modest cottage in Duluth, Minnesota, with her father and young brother, and she has dedicated her life to holding her tiny, fractured family together--especially as her father is frequently gone on long fishing trips. Their livelihood may come from the waters of Lake Superior, but storms on the lake can be dangerous, even to those who know it well. Luke Carson has come to Duluth to help shepherd the arrival of the railroad to the city's port, and he's eager to be reunited with his brother, Scott, who recently moved there with his pregnant wife. Competition for the railroad is fierce, with the neighboring city of Superior, Wisconsin, fighting for the tracks to come through their town instead. But the real danger lies in a resident of Duluth who is determined to have his revenge upon Luke. When tragedy brings Gloriana and Luke together, they help each other through their grief and soon find their lives inextricably linked. If they survive the trials ahead, could it be possible they've been destined for each other all along?
A Matter of Life and
Death by Phillip Margolin.
Joe Lattimore, homeless
and trying desperately to provide for his young family, agrees to fight in a
no-holds-barred illegal bout, only to have his opponent die. Lattimore now
finds himself at the mercy of the fight's organizers who blackmail him into
burglarizing a house. However, when he breaks in, he finds a murdered woman on
the floor and the police have received an anonymous tip naming him the
murderer. Robin Lockwood, an increasingly prominent young attorney and former
MMA fighter, agrees to take on his defense. But the case is seemingly
airtight--the murdered woman's husband, Judge Anthony Carasco, has an alibi and
Lattimore's fingerprints are discovered at the scene. But everything about the
case is too easy, too pat, and Lockwood is convinced that her client has been
framed. The only problem is that she has no way of proving it and since this is
a death case, if she fails then another innocent will die.
