Her father comes and goes as he pleases, his presence adding a layer of tension to Toronto's east-end townhouse Trisha and her mom call home, every punch he lands on her mother carving itself indelibly into Trisha's mind.

Alaska dreams / by Snow, Jennifer.;
Alaska dreams -- An Alaskan Christmas Homecoming.Is she making the right decision...for her career and her heart? Following a near-death experience, Selena Hudson is finally going after the career she wants. And since casting directors won't see her as anything but a rom-com queen, Selena signs on to produce and star in her own movie--an edgy psychological thriller. But just as the cast and crew arrive on location in Wild River, Alaska, the leading man drops out of the production. Reporter Gus Orosco is not hiding out in Wild River--he's waiting for the dust to settle after his on-camera "overreaction" triggered by watching his ex-fiancee get engaged to a superstar hockey player. Gus doesn't want to be anywhere near the film crew shooting at his family's campgrounds, but Selena makes him an offer he can't refuse: she'll snag Gus an interview with Sports Beat if he'll be her leading man. All Gus has to do is learn his lines, hit his marks and somehow ignore the sparks flying between them...even though they're hot enough to melt the Alaskan snow. Bonus Novella Jade Frazier learns that Christmas is the season for second chances--in life as well as love--in Jennifer Snow's An Alaskan Christmas Homecoming.

The Gatsby gambit / by Anderson-Wheeler, Claire,author.; based on (work):Fitzgerald, F. Scott(Francis Scott),1896-1940.Great Gatsby.;
"Freshly twenty-one and sporting a daring new bob, Greta Gatsby-younger sister to the infamous Jay-is finally free of her dull finishing school, and looking forward to an idyllic summer at the Gatsby Mansion, the jewel of West Egg. From its breathtaking views to its eccentric denizens, Greta is eager to inhale it all-even to the predictable disapproval of Mrs Dantry, Jay's exacting housekeeper. Indeed, nothing could disrupt the blissful time Greta has planned ... except finding out that Jay's cadre of dubious friends-Daisy and Tom Buchanan, along with Nick Carraway and Jordan Baker-will be summering there, too. It's hard to be noticed when the luminous Daisy Buchanan is in the room, and Jordan keeps rather too close tabs on handsome Nick Carraway for Greta's liking. But by far the worst is Daisy's boorish husband, Tom, whose explosive temper seems always balanced on a knife-edge. But soon, bad blood is the least of their problems, as a shocking event sets the Gatsby household reeling. Death has come to West Egg, and with it, a web of scandal, betrayal, and secrets. Turning sleuth isn't how Greta meant to spend her summer-but what choice does she have, when everyone else seems intent on living in a world of make-believe? Deftly subverting romantic notions about money, power, and freedom that still stand today, THE GATSBY GAMBIT is a sparkling homage to, and reinvention of, a world American readers have lionized for generations"--
