Since moving in, Clarissa Katsef has had ominous discomfort, the feeling of being watched. Who is behind CASA? Is Clarissa right to be wary or does she too easily give in to paranoia, falling victim to an overly fertile imagination? Meanwhile, Clarissa is still haunted by the betrayal that led her to divorce.

CEO of everything : flying solo and soaring / by Vaz-Oxlade, Gail E.,1959-author.; Ryce, Victoria,author.;
We live in a world of growing singleness. While lots of attention is being paid to senior singles, less has been given to younger women and men who find themselves suddenly single - through separation or divorce or through the death of a partner - or to those who come to the realization that perhaps partnership isn't in the cards and they need to start planning for themselves. Single women make up more than half the population of Canadian women. And they're facing financial and life challenges for which they're unprepared. CEO of Everything maps out the territory that singles find themselves in and guides readers through topics that form the new land of singleness. Jobs once shared by two now fall on the shoulders of one. And as if life isn't busy enough, the state of singleness means you get to do it all, all day and every day. This book will help readers decide what's urgent, what's important and what they can afford to just let go unattended.

Despite counseling, Rachel's horrifying dreams about that night continue. Her anxiety contributed to her divorce from Detective Cade Ryder, though he blames himself too.

But once again, perseverance and love won over fate, and today, Bob turns connection into an art form, while Jean Marmoreo is a MAiD doctor--leading her patients across the thin veil between life and death.
