She now lives in the shadow of her brother: a notorious felon on death row, convicted of a crime that shook the nation. Reeling from the fallout and shunned by her peers, all Ella wants is to fade into the background.
Max has little room for distractions, juggling responsibilities for a disabled father and a distant twin brother. But Ella's return reignites something within him. He wants to be close to her again, to understand her…and to turn their friendship into more.
But as their relationship blossoms, new tragedy strikes, and darkness threatens to tip their delicate balance. In order to find the light, they'll have to navigate the shadows.

cold and hard as a diamond, who fights to resist the bond and their
deep sexual attraction. Far from home, with a soulmate who is still
a stranger, Megan learns that the path to true love isn't quite as
straight and easy as she thought . . .

Halina Rudowski is on the run. When the Polish ghetto where she
lives is evacuated, she narrowly escapes, but her mother is not as
lucky. Along with her friend Batya, Halina makes her way to a
