Still bitter over the
loss of his last real chance at bonding, the hybrid Apollo has slowly
alienated his friends and colleagues at Luna Lodge. Trying to convince
himself that love makes the hybrids weak, he’s decided to dedicate his
life to protecting the other hybrids, even if it means he can never find
true happiness. Though he’s convinced the hybrids are ignoring the
continuing dangers in their midst, including harboring the affable but
suspicious Rem, his superiors seem more interested in having him babysit
a security technician than putting his skills to use helping to secure
their compound. Val Hart pulled a lot of strings and committed more
than a few cyber-crimes to get herself a temporary technician job with
the suspicious hybrids for a mission that may allow her finally to
understand why she’s felt different all her life. When her unexpected
and intense attraction to Apollo threatens her focus, she has to do what
she can to distance herself from the hybrid. After all, Val knows the
truth about love: it’s nothing but a gateway to loss. As the pair
tangle over their emotional wounds, the enemies of Luna Lodge wait in
the shadows, preparing to launch their deadliest strike yet. Views: 30

After the hotshot reporter from Washington visits them at the garage, the Marauders decide that Mace will handle their public relations. He’s more than willing, since as soon as he saw her, he decided that she was his kind of woman. They soon start something that’s not quite a relationship. But as much as Mace likes Kathleen, he’s not sure he can trust her, and he also knows that she’s just waiting for the chance to leave Greenville—and him—behind. Views: 30

'"All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them,' Isak Dinesen once said. Sorrows are all pain otherwise, pain without sense or meaning. But joys, too, it seems to me, need their context. And sometimes their coexistence needs to be borne. The coexistence or possibility of the opposite can be what gives an experience its meaning. At its simplest, that is a story." --Camilla Gibb, This Is Happy In this profoundly moving memoir, Camilla Gibb, the award-winning, bestselling author of Sweetness in the Belly and The Beauty of Humanity Movement, reveals the intensity of the grief that besieged her as the happiness of a longed for family shattered.
