Heart Throbs

Bah! Humbug! Some people are better off single

For Geoffrey Monroe, January can’t come too soon. His Scrooge isn’t wowing anyone on Broadway this Christmas. And his daughter has resolved to marry him off. But once the holidays are through, he’ll be free to resume his footloose lifestyle.

Then Toni Piccolo moves in across the street. It turns out the passionate young widow has an impossible daughter of her own.

Geoffrey gets an idea. They’ll teach their children not to meddle. Soon, he’s giving his best performance yet, as a man in love and ready to settle down.

Can he convince himself that it’s only an act?

You can’t go home again …

Vicky Hurley Walker is back in the New York neighborhood of her youth. She's come home with her boys to make a new start.

If only it weren’t for her sister. Vicky has always stolen what's Margy’s. But Margy isn't going to let that happen this time.

 It’s all over the neighborhood…

 Al Romano may not be the guy who gets the girl, but he is the reporter who gets the story. Now he’s got hold of one that’s sure to restart his career.

When Al turns up in the old neighborhood to unearth details of the night Vicky's world blew up, things get complicated. Soon Vicky's cooking up a plan to reunite former sweethearts Al and Margy. But once Al follows his own heart, his reputation—not to mention the sisters’ fragile bond—are on the line.

It isn't just love on the line, it's lives too…

Local EMT Dawson Tayler and ER nurse Sam - not short for Samantha - had one thing in common...they didn't date. Ever.

Dawson thought relationships were more work than they were worth and Sam thought men were as necessary as a hangnail.

She had already been on the wrong end of rejection and found herself left with more than a broken heart, and he thought the past was best left right where it was.

Sterile hallways and blaring sirens lead to a series of end of shift non-dates over apple fritters that become more than either is willing to admit - until their past and present collide…

Secrets and lies are revealed when tragedy strikes putting everything on the line - including lives - as their romance rushes through suspenseful, and sometimes dangerous, twists and turns.

Will Dawson and Sam find a happily ever after, or is there someone else lurking in McKenzie Ridge, trying to destroy it all?

Chuck Palahniuk showed himself to be his generation’s most visionary satirist in this, his first book. Fight Club’s estranged narrator leaves his lackluster job when he comes under the thrall of Tyler Durden, an enigmatic young man who holds secret after-hours boxing matches in the basements of bars. There, two men fight "as long as they have to." This is a gloriously original work that exposes the darkness at the core of our modern world.
