The Great Books Program

Ketika pacarku, Simon, berlutut untuk melamarku untuk ke-66 kalinya, aku akhirnya tersentuh oleh keteguhannya dan menerima lamarannya. Namun di hari menjelang pernikahan, dia tiba-tiba mengatakan bahwa dia ingin memiliki anak dengan adik tirinya, Fiona. Aku merasa itu tidak masuk akal dan bertengkar hebat dengannya. Yang tak kusangka, di hari pernikahan, aku berdiri di venue sambil memeluk buket bunga, menunggu selama tiga jam, tapi yang datang hanya sebuah kalimat ringan darinya, "Pernikahan ditunda." Hanya karena hari itu dia dan Fiona sudah janji untuk melakukan program bayi tabung bersama. "Fiona sejak kecil disiksa oleh ayah kandungnya. Seumur hidup dia tidak mungkin menikah dengan seorang pria. Aku hanya ingin memenuhi keinginannya untuk punya anak." "Ini cuma program bayi tabung, bukan seks sungguhan. Kamu jangan berpikiran sempit, bisa nggak?" Telepon pun diputus secara paksa. Dan aku ditinggalkan begitu saja di venue pernikahan, sendirian menghadapi tatapan ratusan tamu dan kamera wartawan. Ayah sangat marah sampai masuk ICU. Aku pun menggenggam tangannya sambil menangis di sisi ranjang. "Ayah, Ayah benar. Aku tidak akan menikah dengan Simon lagi." "Aku janji, minggu depan aku akan pulang dan mengambil alih perusahaan keluarga."

Vidwan Surya adalah seorang praktisi yoga sekaligus dosen Bahasa Sansekerta di sebuah universitas. Oleh klien, kolega, dan mahasiswanya, Vidwan biasa dipanggil Guru Vidwan. Hal itu merupakan bentuk penghormatan mereka padanya. Vidwan bertemu Grisse Anggara di kampus ketika gadis itu mengambil mata kuliah Bahasa Sansekerta. Grisse Anggara merupakan seorang peserta program Pertukaran Mahasiswa. Ketertarikan Grisse pada bahasa-bahasa kuno yang punah atau hampir punah membuatnya mendaftar program pertukaran mahasiswa dan ia pun diterima. Grisse yang polos, pendiam, dan tidak pandai bergaul tentu saja senang ketika salah seorang dosen memberi perhatian padanya. Tidak pernah terlintas dalam benak Grisse bahwa perhatian Vidwan padanya lebih karena lelaki itu sangat berhasrat memilikinya. Hasrat seorang laki-laki dewasa pada perempuan dewasa. Ya, Vidwan begitu menginginkan Grisse menjadi miliknya. Membayangkan Grisse berada dalam kungkungannya saja membuat air liur Vidwan menitik. Hasrat berbalut nafsu Vidwan mendesak minta dipuaskan. Di waktu yang hampir bersamaan, perhatian dan kenyamanan yang diberikan Vidwan berhasil membuat Grisse jatuh hati. Namun, setelah melalui semuanya bersama Vidwan, timbul pertanyaan dalam hati Grisse. Apakah selama ini dia mencintai Vidwan? Atau ia pun merasakan hal yang sama seperti sang guru, yakni hanya sebuah hasrat yang dibalut nafsu.

On our fifth wedding anniversary, my husband, Damian Pyke, once again left me for his first love. He said, "Taking care of a child alone isn't easy for Waverly. You're both women—can't you show her some understanding?" Not only was I willing to understand Waverly Benson, but I was also ready to step aside entirely so they could raise her child together. So, I packed my bags and applied for an overseas architecture program through my workplace. However, he eventually regretted it, crying and begging me not to go.

The books say that besides empaths, mages are the most sensitive when it comes to emotions. They also say that mages are the most dangerous supernatural s pecies to walk the earth. There's a reason for that, the elders say that mages who are underaged are a ticking time bomb because if a mage who is not of age constantly experiences negative emotions before their Coming of Age ceremony, their magic becomes twisted, their heart becomes cold and their eyes change to reflect that evil magic coursing through them. No one ever believed the books, thinking of them as fairy tales. At least they didn't until Olive Lane walked into school her magic dark and corrupted enough to give her a shadow familiar. Her hair no longer an almost white blond but a haunting purple. Gone were her kind and emotion-filled green eyes and in their place were amethyst eyes filled with nothing but hatred and amusement. Everyone watched her snap the neck of a classmate with the tilt of her head and it was in that moment they realized that the books and the elders were right. And for the first time in their peace-filled lives, the residents of Ravenswood felt true horror because when she looked at them, they knew that in front of them was the monster spoken of in fear and terrified reverence. Olive Lane,the sweetest and kindest person to ever walk the earth was now a Dark Mage. Will her soul be forever lost in the darkness or is there a hope for redemption? Will she defeat her demons or will they overtake her and ruin that which she loves...

This is the first book in an 8 book series of hockey romances. All 8 books have an underlying theme of ‘life after loss’. My first book is about Natasha, a librarian in her 40s who lost a sibling as a teenager and never healed, preventing her from ever finding/committing to love…and the hockey coach who is twice divorced and has given up his dreams of ever finding his match and having a family-until he meets Natasha…. Will Coach Alex's love (along with his superior skills in the sack) be enough to break down the walls Natasha has held firm for over two decades? The 8 books go through the different players of the team, all having their own versions of loss to overcome, with the captain (Adam) being married to a woman (who happens to be a teacher at Natasha's school) who has a terminal illness and will eventually commit suicide in book 6 and the series ends with Adam's own second chance love story….
