So she could have a date on Valentine's Day -- a chance that, according to her admirer, Cassie couldn't waste. Any other girl in Cassie's situation -- single and with no romantic prospects - would have been excited with the possibility of having a date to the most dramatic day of the year, just this weekend.

He’s faster than the wind, the world is at his feet, nothing can stop him. Except...fate. Anahí Saraíba is a physical therapist at the start of a promising career, torn between the white man’s culture and the simple way of life of her indigenous roots. She accepts a job caring exclusively for the recovery of a race driver that’s temporarily paraplegic. Klaus is a challenge for Anahi: depressive, rude, the typical problem-patient. At first, Klaus hates the therapist they found for him, Anahí is too bossy, irritating, combative and...gorgeous. But on a second look, love rearranges all around it, without asking, testing all limits.The Débutante

Andrea: Enchanted Aleutian Pricess
By Robert Algeri. 2020
I met Andrea Altiery in 1981; the first thing she asked was, “Do you like the rock band Aerosmith?” I…
responded, “Yes.” She smiled and slapped me on my left shoulder telling me, “Dream on my friend.” Later that year Andrea was taken from us by the most notorious serial killer to ever hunt in the state of Alaska. Get ready to collectively ride an emotional ride through urban Alaska while looking through a steamy window for lost love; love that's never found and love that maybe never was. I can only imagine the helplessness; the complete feeling of being alone these women had; Andrea must have had, preyed upon all of their spirit's gathering together now. Victims of circumstance; none of these women deserved to be mistreated like Andrea; dehumanized, erased from our minds. One last chance to give Andrea a voice, each woman asking us can you hear me, do you see me now?Tales From A Honeymoon Hotel: a warm and witty holiday read about life after 'I Do' (Honeymoon)
