O My Darling

O My Darling tells the story of a devoted young couple whose marriage begins to implode when they move into their first house. The external lives of Clark, a high school guidance counselor, and Charlotte, a bookkeeper, are utterly ordinary, but their interior lives are as bold and complex as abstract paintings colored by imagined possibilities, childhood joys and, more darkly, by deeply buried fears. When Clark rescues a young boy from drowning, a chain of events - some comic, some harrowing - is set in motion, revealing the fault lines of the couple's marriage and individual psyches. Amity Gaige is a consummate stylist. Her every sentence contains a tiny world - marrying striking images to deep, soulful ideas in perfectly concise fashion. Her cool, slightly off-kilter sensibility expressed in spare, lucid prose will remind readers of Paula Fox (Desperate Characters), while her pure, hyper-real vision of suburban America places her among the most talented of the generation of writers dubbed "the children of Cheever." "Given its level of sophistication and off-center wit, it's a bit startling to realize that O My Darling is Amity Gaige's first novel. The characters, beautifully drawn, are as unsentimental toward one another as their author is toward them and yet, wonderfully, this novel with its many ambushes of lyrical moments, is deeply felt."-Stuart Dybek, author of I Sailed with Magellanand The Coast of Chicago

They'd connected instantaneously, and that connection deepened into a magical, fierce love. Then Michael Molina disappeared without a word. Emmie Kenyon had put Michael in the past. But unfinished business compelled him to hire Finders, Keepers, a detective agency that specialized in locating lost loves, to track Emmie down.

Prowled Darkness (Dante's Circle Book 7)

Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes? Eliana Sawyer’s life was rocked from its foundation twice in as many years. She risked her heart and had it shattered into a thousand pieces when Malik left her with no warning. While she’d normally raise her chin and ignore the pain, she can’t forget what he gave her before he disappeared from her life. Malik Ward is a prince amongst the lion shifters and knows that one day he will have to take a mate. Only, his people can never mate with humans. Under the mistaken impression that Eliana was only human, he forced himself to leave before they’d crossed a line and he broke his vow to his people. Now that he knows the truth about Eliana, however, it will take more than groveling to win back the one woman fated to be his. While Eliana and Malik embark on a new sensuous path that might lead to disaster, the realms aren’t ready to allow the final lightning-struck human to be enveloped into their fold. The couple will have to combat those plotting against them, as well as the broken promises and heated emotions they share. Warning: Contains a Leo with a bite that’s worse than his roar, a woman with one last chance at the life she’s always dreamt of, a flame that could extinguish with the wrong sacrifice, and the final journey in the bestselling Dante’s Circle series. **From the Author Dante's Circle Series Reading Order Book 1: Dust of My Wings Book 2: Her Warriors' Three Wishes Book 3: An Unlucky Moon  The Dante's Circle Box Set (Contains Books 1-3) Book 3.5: His Choice Book 4: Tangled Innocence Book 5: Fierce Enchantment  Book 6: An Immortal's Song  Book 7: Prowled Darkness (Coming May 10th, 2016) Other Paranormal Romances from Carrie Ann Ryan Redwood Pack Series Reading Order Book 1: An Alpha's Path Book 2: A Taste for a Mate Book 3: Trinity Bound Book 3.5: A Night Away Book 4: Enforcer's Redemption Book 4.5: Blurred Expectations Book 4.7: Forgiveness Book 5: Shattered Emotions  Book 6: Hidden Destiny Book 6.5: A Beta's Haven  Book 7: Fighting Fate  Book 7.5: Loving the Omega  Book 7.7: The Hunted Heart  Book 8: Wicked Wolf  Talon Pack Series A Spin Off of the Redwood Pack Series Book 1: Tattered Loyalties Book 2: An Alpha's Choice Book 3: Mated in Mist Book 4: Wolf Betrayed (Coming Oct 2016) Branded Packs Series Reading Order (w/ Alexandra Ivy) Book 1: Stolen and Forgiven  Book 2: Abandoned and Unseen  Book 3: Buried and Shadowed (Coming July 2016) Holiday Montana Series Reading Order Book 1: Charmed Spirits Book 2: Santa's Executive Book 3: Finding Abigail The Holiday Montana Box Set (Contains Books 1-3) Book 4: Her Lucky Love Book 5: Dreams of Ivory About the Author Did you know Carrie Ann Has a Newsletter?
