Devils in the Sugar Shop
by Timothy SchaffertA failed erotic novelist; a hostess of prim sex-toy parties; an artist and a bookshop owner pursued by a demented if harmless stalker; wives, lovers, twin sisters, daughters-all members of the artsy crowd in Omaha, try to hold their families, friendships and personal lives together as they face damaged and broken marriages, and mid-life crises during one whirlwind day that may only be saved by their own children, a timely fire, and a return to their senses.Ashley, a frustrated novelist, teaches a community college class in the writing of erotica, which only seems to turn a magnifying glass on her own marriage woes. June has become filthy rich by selling marital aides at Tupperware-like home parties for a company called Sugar Shop Inc., but despite her wealth, she still longs to reunite with her impoverished ex-husband. Viv, an artist, learns to find creative inspiration, and maybe even a better understanding of herself, from a dirty-minded stalker who reliably sends her startling pictures in the mail every day. Peach and Plum, twin sisters, own a bookstore called Mermaids Singing, where together they attempt to unravel the knots of their own neuroses. All the while, the words and questionable wisdom of a tough-love motivational speaker, known only as Sybil the Guru, echoes throughout all their lives.The day ends with a few raucous parties that threaten, or promise, to challenge the ways these various women continue to live. As the women struggle for guidance in the face of sheer lunacy, they come to realize that the most useful answers are likely the ones they come up with all on their own.
Devil's Honor: The Devil's Keepers (Devil's Keepers #1)
by Megan CraneIn the start of a sizzling new series, bestselling author Megan Crane takes readers deep into bayou country, where the sultry swamp has nothing on the heat of Louisiana's fiercest bikers: the Devil's Keepers. Merritt Broussard grew up knowing she had two choices if she stayed in Lagrange: run with the outlaws or get left in their dust. So she got the hell out, leaving behind a bad-boy biker and scorching memories of their summer fling. Now Merritt's back, with trouble on her tail, and the sergeant-at-arms of the Devil's Keepers is the one person she can still trust. But Greeley isn't the boy she remembers. He's harder now, more dangerous--and even more alluring. Joseph "Greeley" Shaw loves two things: his bike and his club. At eighteen, he escaped a rough life, found the Devil's Keepers on the wrong side of a bad weekend, and never looked back. Greeley swore to live and die by their code: Devil's Keepers first, Devil's Keepers forever. No one comes between him and his brothers--except for the tantalizing woman who touched his soul. Greeley's the kind of man who honors his commitments . . . and Merritt is one promise he's determined to keep. Praise for Megan Crane's Make You Burn "If you are looking for a hot and dirty read in the motorcycle club genre, then Megan Crane is a new voice to follow. Her characters are gritty, unapologetic, and led by their animal instincts, whether in war or love."--Heroes and Heartbreakers "Crane piles on the passion and danger. . . . This tough and dirty world is fascinating and satisfying in its own way."--Publishers Weekly "Her style was so sultry and thick that I could almost feel the sweat of the bayou and the pulse of Bourbon Street as I read. I sunk deep into the story and enjoyed every minute of it."--Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
