"I close my eyes one more time, and I finally give in to exhaustion. As I am drawn further and further into the dark, an indiscernible figure subtly creeps into my mind. At first, the stern eyes that examine me seem to belong to my father. But then, as the number of faces begins to multiply, I realize it's not a dream about my old man. Far from it. All I see is them. The wimps and the minxes. Wimps and minxes everywhere. And in that gruesome dream of mine, I stand amongst them." Perhaps, in some way, Henry Anderson has always had some sort of keenness for carnage. However, that's not something people would pick up on at the first glance of Henry Anderson. Because, physically speaking, Henry is not strange looking. There is nothing about him that could hint the slightest abnormality or dysfunction, nor provoke anyone's interest. After all, nothing is fascinating about the married university teacher in the worn out suit, with the untied tie, the lanky figure, the stern expression and the hollow eyes. If anything, everything about him appears mundane, banal even. That is, until one night, when he witnesses an unsettling incident at a park, an incident that will disclose a hidden facet unbeknownst to himself. And as he struggles with the demons that run wild in the darkest corners of his mind, his loved ones grow into subjects of his abhorrence, innocent affection into twisted lust, his accomplished hopes and dreams into disappointments and nightmares, and trivial bitterness into seething rage. And as long as he goes on, the lines keep being crossed and the boundaries keep being pushed. And the further he goes, the less he sees ahead.

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
