| Genre: Urban Fiction | |
Rain is a born fighter. Whether it's with herself or someone else, she refuses
to back down. Growing up in a broken home, she is raised by her mother, a
self proclaimed "hippy" and her grandfather who is the peace keeper
in a house full of resentment and loathing. Without the acceptance and love
of her mother, Rain's life is a tragedy waiting to happen. As Rain gets older,
she and her mother share a relationship that pairs them more like roommates
than mother and daughter. Wading her way through life, Rain finds solace
in her second family---the Johnsons. Spending as little time as possible
there, Rain is unaware of the tensions and scheming taking place at home.
On her fourteenth birthday, her world seems to be on the verge of a new beginning;
she shares her first kiss with the love of her young life, and for once she
has hope that her mother is calming down. Therefore Rain is surprised and
alarmed, when her mother tells her that she must marry the following day.
The man that Rain must marry is not only a stranger but also eleven years older than her fourteen years. Entebbe Wooten---a Jamaican native---walks into her life and leads her on a rollercoaster of drugs, abuse and violence. Rain is showered with all the material things most women would enjoy. Making the most of her daughter's largess, Lorraine quickly leaves behind her previous aversions regarding commercialism and accepts the immediate benefits of being the mother-in-law of a rich man.
Unfortunately for Rain, her lifestyle comes with an enormous price, which she must pay in pain and self-esteem. Never having witnessed violence personally, Rain is pulled into another world. Rain knows that in order to survive life in the fast lane she must become an actress worthy of an Oscar, which in turn is the start of her double life.

Title: Midori By Moonlight |
| Author: Wendy Nelson Tokunaga | |
| ISBN: 0312372612 | |
| Genre: Fiction/Literature | |
MIDORI BY MOONLIGHT is a comic, cross-cultural novel, out now from St. Martin's,
that has a mouth-watering pastry theme running through it that makes many
a reader either head to the kitchen to start baking or just make a beeline
to the nearest cake shop.
What happens when a young woman, fresh from Japan and too independent for Japanese society, finds herself suddenly lost in translation in San Francisco as she searches for her American Dream and the perfect dessert?
Wendy Nelson Tokunaga answers this question and more in her poignant comic novel, MIDORI BY MOONLIGHT, where we meet thirty-year-old Midori Saito, whose dream seems about to come true. A strong independent streak has always made her feel like a stranger in a strange land in her native Japan, but now she's embarking on a new life in San Francisco. She's about to marry Kevin, the perfect American man six feet tall, with curly hair the color of marmalade. Unlike a Japanese guy who'd demand she be a housewife, Kevin doesn't mind if Midori follows her dream of becoming a master pastry chef. Her life is turning out as exquisitely as a Caramelized Apple Tart with Crème Fraiche, until Kevin dumps her at their engagement party in favor of his blonde, ex-fiancée, whom Midori never even knew existed.
Now Midori is not only on her own with just a smattering of fractured English in her repertoire--she's entered the U.S. on a fiancée visa that will expire in sixty days. Unable to face the humiliation of telling her parents she's been dumped, and not wanting to give up on her American dream, Midori realizes she's "up the creek without a saddle." Her only hope is new acquaintance Shinji, 30, who long ago escaped Japan after a family tragedy, is a successful San Francisco graphic artist and amateur moon gazer, and who lets her share his apartment as a platonic roommate.
Soon Midori finds herself working at an under-the-table hostess job at an unsavory Japanese karaoke bar, making (and eating) way too many desserts, meeting a charming and handsome chef with his own restaurant who may be too good to be true, and trying to uncover the secret behind a mysterious bar hostess who looks strangely familiar. But Midori's willing to endure almost anything to hang on to her American dream, and she just might find that the love she's been searching for far and wide is a whole lot closer than she thinks.

Short Synopsis
Evil walks and her name is Sammie Williams. She's a conniving Atlanta native that keeps her nose high in the sky with her impeccable style, gorgeous features and sassy demeanor. Guys flock to her side; while females viciously glare with envious green eyes. But deep down inside is a terribly lonely female that secretly cries red tears at night---scared of the image that she's created and so lost that she couldn't possibly find her way. Over her lifetime, she has betrayed so many people that no one gives two cents that she's being used as a human punching bag by her fiance---that is, except a newcomer from Miami named Renee.
Renee can't help but feel sympathetic to Sammie's circumstances as she graciously extends her home to the beautiful bombshell only to find herself staring in the eyes of death!
Will Renee overcome her kind-act-turned deadly or will she be forced to utter a small prayer before her life is snuffed out?

Title: Enchanting the Lady-Relics of Merlin series |
| Author: Kathryne Kennedy | |
| ISBN: 978-0-505-52750-9 | |
| Genre: Historical Fantasy (Paranormal) | |
"Little-noticed Felicity Seymour is a woman with a problem: she can't
take control of her parents' lands until she can prove her magical abilities,
of which she's never had the slightest hint. When she meets a handsome were-lion
baronet, Terence Blackwell, she's surprised at his interest; what she doesn't
know is that Terence smells the taint of relic-magic on her, the same magic
that killed his brother. Resolving to learn her secrets, Terence courts the
worried wallflower and is as surprised as anyone when he falls head over
heels. Soon after they marry in secret, Felicity discovers that people she's
trusted all her life are conspiring to steal her magic, her title and her
land. Now she's got to stop them with the help of her new husband-but how
much does she really know about her mysterious mate? The latest from Kennedy
(Beneath the Thirteen Moons) is simply delightful, set in a fantasy-touched
Victorian England that's imaginative, historically vigorous and ripe for
further adventures. Felicity is a pleasantly unassuming heroine and is well
matched in Terence, while the identity of the villain will keep readers guessing
until the very end."
