This Real Night

Rebecca West

Summary

A new era for women—and the Aubrey sisters—dawns in the trilogy that proves “what an extraordinary, and extraordinarily honest, writer Rebecca West was” (The New York Times). They have put down their schoolbooks and put up their hair, but a talented musician and her kin ponder what being a young woman on one’s own will entail. Abandoned by their feckless father, Rose and her family must move beyond their comfortable drawing room to discover a world of kind patrons, music teachers, and concert hall acclaim, but also domestic strife, anti-Semitism, and social pressure to marry.  Set before World War I, Rebecca West’s intimate, eloquent family portrait brings to life a time when women recognized their own voices and the joys of living off one’s own talents.

Grounds for Murder - A Jeannie...

Betty Ternier Daniels

Jeannie is in trouble. After the loss of her husband, everyone around her is pressuring her to leave her precious farm, including an incredibly persistent realtor who won’t name her client. But when that realtor ends up dead, killed by mistake when she borrows Jeannie’s car, it becomes clear that her client won’t take no for an answer. Who wants Jeannie’s land so badly that they are willing to kill her for it? And why her farm when there are plenty around her for sale? To find the answer, Jeannie joins forces with off-duty cop Derek and finds refuge with the young back-to-the-land tenants who rent a section of her farm. Set in her ways at 60, Jeannie must learn to open her mind — and her heart — in her quest to find the killer, all while grappling with ghosts from her past and wrestling with the question of land transfer and ownership. Will the next generation love her farm as intensely as she does? And will she survive long enough to find out?

~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~

Marcus taps his foot as he looks around his 18-year old daughter's room.

"You know, I liked the last three things you showed me," he calls to her. "I don't think I need to see anything else."

"Oh, but daddy, this one looks so cute!" Katelyn calls back.

So Marcus, nodding, waits for his daughter to come back out to model more clothes for him.

Katelyn finally comes out and her daddy looks at her in her new clothes.

"What do you think?" she asks, excited. She spins around so he can see all of it.

"Wow," Marcus says, nodding. "You look really good. I mean it."

Katelyn flashes him a bright smile.

"Is this…" Marcus asks, coming forward. Before Katelyn can say anything he's right up next to her, grabbing the material of her shirt, leaning his head down to give it a close inspection.

"There's a hint of blue in here," he declares, and when he straightens up Katelyn is all too aware of how close he is to her.

"Yeah," she says, swallowing. "I, um…I know."

Marcus looks down at his little girl and she looks back up at him.

Marcus can't help but look his daughter up and down. She's got an amazing body, and such an open mind. She smiles when his eyes come back up to hers.

"You know," Marcus says, feeling his shaft stirring in his pants already. "I hope you don't mind me saying, but you would be amazing at sex."

Katelyn pulls in a breath and bites down on her lower lip.

"I wouldn't know," she says. "I'm still a virgin."

"Well then," Marcus says. "We'd better do something to fix that."

Without another word Katelyn wraps her arms around her daddy and plants her lips onto his. He wraps his arms around his little girl, his erection already present. Katelyn moans as she feels it push up against her, and she reaches down to grab it, breathing heavily out through her nose.
