An engrossing, epic American drama told from four distinct perspectives, spanning the first major wave of Irish immigration to New York through the end of the Civil War. Four unique voices; two parallel love stories; one sweeping novel rich in the history of nineteenth-century America. This remarkable debut draws from the great themes of literature—famine, war, love, and family—as it introduces four unforgettable characters. Ethan McOwen is an Irish immigrant whose endurance is tested in Brooklyn and the Five Points at the height of its urban destitution; he is among the first to join the famed Irish Brigade and becomes a celebrated war photographer. Marcella, a society girl from Spain, defies her father to become a passionate abolitionist. Mary and Micah are slaves of varying circumstances, who form an instant connection and embark on a tumultuous path to freedom. All four lives unfold in two beautiful love stories, which eventually collide. Written in gorgeous language that subtly captures the diverse backgrounds of the characters, and interspersed with letters, journals, and dreams, this unforgettable story, rendered in cinematic detail, is about having faith in life's great meaning amidst its various tangles.
A New York Times Bestseller & the Basis for the Hit Showtime Docuseries Murder in the Bayou is a New York Times bestselling chronicle of a high-stakes investigation into the murders of eight women in a troubled Southern parish that is “part murder case, part corruption exposé, and part Louisiana noir” (New York magazine). Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered in Jennings, Louisiana, a bayou town of 10,000 in the Jefferson Davis parish. The women came to be known as the Jeff Davis 8, and local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, stirring a wave of panic across Jennings’ class-divided neighborhoods. The Jeff Davis 8 had been among society’s most vulnerable—impoverished, abused, and mired with mental illness. They engaged in sex work as a means of survival. And their underworld activity frequently occurred at a decrepit motel called the Boudreaux Inn. As the cases went unsolved, the community began to look inward. Rumors of police corruption and evidence tampering, of collusion between street and shield, cast the serial killer theory into doubt. But what was really going on in the humid rooms of the Boudreaux Inn? Why were crimes going unsolved and police officers being indicted? What had the eight women known? And could anything be done do stop the bloodshed? Mixing muckraking research and immersive journalism over the course of a five-year investigation, Ethan Brown reviewed thousands of pages of previously unseen homicide files to posit what happened during each woman’s final hours delivering a true crime tale that is “mesmerizing” (Rolling Stone) and “explosive” (Huffington Post). “Brown is a man on a mission...he gives the victims more respectful attention than they probably got in real life” (The New York Times). “A must-read for true-crime fans” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), with a new afterword, Murder in the Bayou is the story of an American town buckling under the dark forces of poverty, race, and class division—and a lightning rod for justice for the daughters it lost.
The blistering story of a young man making his Broadway debut in Henry IV just as his marriage implodes—a "witty, wise, and heartfelt novel" (Washington Post) about art and love, fame and heartbreak from the acclaimed actor/writer/director. A bracing meditation on fame and celebrity, and the redemptive, healing power of art; a portrait of the ravages of disappointment and divorce; a poignant consideration of the rites of fatherhood and manhood; a novel soaked in rage and sex, longing and despair; and a passionate love letter to the world of theater, A Bright Ray of Darkness showcases Ethan Hawke's gifts as a novelist as never before. Hawke's narrator is a young man in torment, disgusted with himself after the collapse of his marriage, still half hoping for a reconciliation that would allow him to forgive himself and move on as he clumsily, and sometimes hilariously, tries to manage the wreckage of his personal life with whiskey and sex. What saves him is theater: in particular, the challenge of performing the role of Hotspur in a production of Henry IV under the leadership of a brilliant director, helmed by one of the most electrifying—and narcissistic—Falstaff's of all time. Searing, raw, and utterly transfixing, A Bright Ray of Darkness is a novel about shame and beauty and faith, and the moral power of art.
The rules are about to change… The rules are simple. Every few months, Violet Watson meets up with Colin Samuels and Mackenzie Scott, two pro football players whose skill on the field is only outdone by their expertise in the bedroom. The rules mean no promises. No limits on the creativity or the passion. And no questions. Violet is a strong professional woman, not some sports team groupie, and she keeps the wildness of her sex life with them carefully separate from her personal life. Only Colin Samuels and Mackenzie Scott want more. The sex between the three of them has always been blazing hot, but wanting love and commitment? That’s breaking the rules. Rules that Violet set…and now rules she’s torn over. Because it’s clear Colin and Mac are looking for far more than wild sex, and keeping her in their lives is now their ultimate goal. Colin dominates the field and the bedroom. Along with Mackenzie, his teammate and lover, Colin has everything he could ever want…almost. He has riches, fame, an island home, but he doesn’t have Violet. She has always thrown up walls between their ménage and her personal life, keeping the two carefully separate to protect her career and her ability to live her life with no one to answer to. But if the three of them are to have anything deeper, Colin knows he must break through those walls. A sexy game with questions might be the only way to get the curvy and beautiful Violet to finally open up to them, not just physically, but emotionally, and let them deeper into her life. Mackenzie warns that they are taking a huge chance pushing for more, but Colin has never been one to shy away from risk. This might be their final chance to make her theirs forever… Reader note: a stand-alone story containing MMF bisexual menage, BBW heroines, sports stars, very hot romance elements, male male love, and a happily ever after

When she attends a fancy New York fundraiser, she meets the sexy James Lebray and the handsome Deacon Frost. Both men are interested in becoming donors, so Cara invites them to the ranch for a tour, and things only heat up from there. But Cara's self-doubt haunts her. She's not rich, not famous, and she certainly can't fit into any of those size-zero dresses that the New York models wear. So why would two scorching-hot billionaires be interested in a plus-sized girl more comfortable wearing jeans and rescuing horses? And why does she suddenly feel like a prize they're battling each other to win—and she's cheering for them both?

And Deacon isn't going to let her go without a fight. James always plays to win.

Normally, James would be confident in his chances to win Cara's heart, but he's always had a thing for Deacon. The man is drop-dead gorgeous, and that alpha military bearing of his has sparked many a fantasy. Clearly, the only thing a sane man can do is kiss the guy and see what happens. He intends to win both Cara and Deacon. But emotions run hot and competition runs deep, threatening any chance the three of them have at happiness. Can enemies truly become lovers? Cara might be the one who bound them together, but will she be the thing that forever drives them apart?
