In a remarkable convergence of events, Lindsey McCall is also drawn into the explosive world of transgender politics.

In this fifth novel of Wilder's award-winning Lindsey McCall medical mystery series, her readers will find the innovative medical research loved by her fans, combined with a dramatic courtroom scenario guaranteed to provoke and challenge. In her Foreward, Wilder writes: We fiction writers have a responsibility when creating a character; he or she must sit beside us as we read the story. If she isn't, we haven't done our job. Therefore, writing Dr. T's character forced a plunge into places I had no interest in going. A person like Adam Turner would not have come into this beautiful world looking for a kid to control, manipulate, or wreck. There had to be a reason- that created massive psychic wounds.

Psyche: A Love Story by Gerry Haines (11 Reviews)    Price verified 35 minutes ago

The course of true love never did run smooth, as Gerry found out. In his youth, he had to work his way through the cross-currents of the 1960s and 70s. In old age, he's the only one left who can tell the story of a cult, a voice, and the patterns of love and despair that drew four people together for the rest of their lives. He loves Psyche, but she won't go all the way with him. He doesn't know why. He loves Bethan, but she is increasingly suspicious of his entanglement with Psyche's glamorous London world, so different from her Colwyn Bay background, so different from Liverpool, where she and Gerry are students. Gerry's oldest and closest friend is Psyche's brother Tony, but he is being drawn closer and closer into the distorted world of a cult. Then there's George, Psyche's father - but she will hardly speak to him, and her brother Tony is moving out of his reach into his alternative reality. George is hospitable and kindly, but a bit of a mystery. What choices can Gerry make? Psyche says, "don't choose - just keep loving me," but that means two-timing Bethan. Despite Gerry's scepticism, Tony can possibly help Gerry, using astrology and Tarot cards - if the cult madness and the acid don't get him first. This story is a fictional biography, a portrait of the times -- and it is a love story, not a romance. It's a story Gerry, the survivor, has to tell, before his own life comes to an end. Gerry's story involves much music - jazz, opera and blues. He pays tribute to the power live performance has to lift us up. The settings include London, Liverpool, Honduras, Colwyn Bay and Rhodes.

The Privateer by Gordon Daviot (47 Reviews)    Price verified 40 minutes ago

In the sweeping historical epic 'The Privateer,' Gordon Daviot (pseudonym of famous Josephine Tey) pens the life and triumphs of Henry Morgan, a Welsh pirate turned hero, within the rich tapestry of 17th-century Caribbean conflicts. The narrative, characterized by its sharp detail and engagement with themes of freedom, ambition, and the tides of colonial power struggles, follows Morgan from his ignominious beginnings as an enslaved man in Barbados to his remarkable rise as the Lieutenant-Governor of Jamaica. Through the lens of Morgan's capture of a Spanish ship, Tey demonstrates a deep understanding of the era's social and political intricacies, making the novel an exemplary piece of historical fiction with a literary style that brings this perilous period of piracy and war vividly to life. The author, known for rigorously researched historical narratives, seems to have drawn from a deep well of historical knowledge and fascination with the Caribbean colonial power dynamics. The portrayal of Henry Morgan is possibly reflective of a keen interest in the paradoxes of piracy -- often deemed a lawless enterprise, yet in Morgan's case, one that led to legal authority and respectability. Daviot's background, potentially steeped in history and literature, positions him to construct a protagonist who is as complex as he is charismatic, bridging the gulf between outlaw and official with nuanced storytelling. Josephine Tey wrote this novel under her pseudonym, Gordon Daviot. This was last book, a romantic novel based on the life of the privateer Henry Morgan.

Sunshine: Millie's RH Standalone (Damsels in the Darkness) by Ashley Amy (41 Reviews)    Price verified 15 hours ago

Reading about dark romance made my overthinking mind spiral into what the false reality would be like. All the written men had this possessive, 'touch her and die' vibe, but I hadn't experienced an earth-shattering love like those or felt that special in any of my relationships, to be honest. My mind crippled with the realization the mundane didn't border such an intoxicating fantasy. Learning to live within the pages of my revivifying books, I meandered through my lackluster days until my father requested help with his inmate program, supporting prisoners adapting to a better life. Finding myself in the same room with the darkest mafia prince of them all didn't scare me in the sensible way it should've. Instead, I found his company stimulated my mind with a true, intellectual depth during our conversations. Little did I know he took a keen interest in me. Maybe if I had picked up on this significant data, I would've understood why a random man began bumping into me when I least expected it. Maybe I would've seen the chloroform cloth before it covered my mouth when their enforcer kidnapped me. But hey, at least they remembered my cat. This is a reverse harem romance. MM is in this. Chapter 30 is skippable for viewers who don't enjoy it but want to read the story. Chapter 63 has the beginning between the men that can be skipped, but start at the page break for the rest of the story in the same chapter. TW: THIS IS A MAFIA ROMANCE with stalking, kidnapping, drugs, violence, gore, sexual assault, and rape that's not described on page, language, death, loved ones who were lost to suicide, animal loss (not by cruelty), and obsession induced somnophilia. Please understand these triggers when reading 18+ content.
