Seventeen-year-old Aviva Osherov, the daughter of a poor rabbi in Chernigov, has never fit the life chosen for her. She is expected to marry young, obey without question, and accept a future she does not want. But Aviva hungers for things forbidden to a girl of her world- to study Torah, to choose her own path, and to dream beyond the Pale of Settlement. Rumors of pogroms sweep through nearby towns, casting fear over her community like a shadow that refuses to lift. And when Aviva crosses paths with Nikolai, a quiet Orthodox Christian boy who sees her humanity instead of her religion, everything becomes more dangerous. He saves her once. She trusts him once. And suddenly the one person she should fear becomes the one she cannot let go of. Their forbidden bond risks her father's honor, her sister's future, and the safety of their entire household. Whispers turn to threats. Threats turn to violence. And when the pogrom finally reaches Chernigov, Aviva must face an impossible choice: Stay with the boy who taught her what freedom feels like... or flee to America to save the only family she has left. A story of courage, forbidden love, and a girl who refuses to be silent beneath a darkening sky.

New York City, 1995. Angelina D'Amato walked away from Vincenzo Vitale seven years ago. Left him in a prison cell with their daughter growing inside her and a promise she'd never come back. Now she's Marianna Marino. Blonde, polished, highly untouchable. An undercover agent infiltrating the Castellano crime family. However, she never thought she'd see him again. She never thought he was involved with the Castellano mafia family. And now... he's their Consigliere. Every smile she gives his associates is a lie. Every night she spends with Carlo "Charmer" Vitelli, pretending to be his girlfriend, carves deeper into what's left of her soul. But the real knife? It twists every time Vinny looks at her across a crowded room and doesn't recognize the woman he used to love. Or maybe he did. He doesn't know about their daughter. He doesn't know she's the one building the case that will destroy him. He doesn't know that when this is over, one of them won't walk away. Some secrets are worth dying for. Some loves are worth killing for.

Genevieve Fischer is a 16-year-old junior at a bustling suburban high school, balancing the weight of academic excellence with the emotional turmoil of teenage life. Known for her straight A's and a reputation as the school's bookworm loner, she prefers the company of novels to her peers, often fading into the background, especially at parties where social dynamics can get tricky. Aside from Genevieve, all the teenagers have spent their high school years in a fictional town of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants. (A New Romantics Novel: Book One)
