Synopsis

In Susan Warner's 'Melbourne House,' originally published in 1864, readers are immersed in a tale of family dynamics, struggles, and triumphs set in the post-Civil War era. Warner's narrative style is characterized by its detailed descriptions and insightful character development, providing readers with a vivid understanding of the societal norms and values of the time. The novel explores themes of wealth, status, and morality, as well as the complexities of human relationships in a rapidly changing world. Warner's eloquent prose and engaging storytelling make 'Melbourne House' a compelling read for those interested in historical fiction and social commentary of the 19th century. Susan Warner, also known by her pen name Elizabeth Wetherell, was a prolific writer and social reformer who often used her works to advocate for various causes. It is her firsthand experiences with these issues that likely inspired her to delve into the themes explored in 'Melbourne House.' I highly recommend 'Melbourne House' to readers who appreciate insightful character studies and rich historical detail in their literature, as Warner's novel offers a captivating glimpse into a bygone era.

    The challenge was supposed to be simple. Spill a drink on an airline passenger and be one square closer to winning the company's secret bingo card game. Twenty-five different challenges, at various levels of difficulty, had to be accomplished within a month's time. After nearly eight years of being a flight attendant, Alice Kaminski had spilled drinks on plenty of passengers, mostly on accident and during rough air. She didn't particularly like the idea of the bingo card, but she had massive student debt; the financial incentives were enough to make her momentarily forget the questionable ethics of it all. The challenge was supposed to be simple—that is, until Alice saw her intended target—the beautiful woman seated in 3B. And after that, nothing was simple ever again.

    With less than a year of experience under his belt and only one big case behind him, FBI Special Agent Angus Green has joined the rarefied group of agents who have been wounded in the line of duty. 
    Now, assigned to a desk job while he recovers, Angus wonders if he's chosen the right career. He's been following his late father's dream for a life of adventure and travel—and instead encountered danger, pain and heartbreak. 
    But when he discovers that gay teens are being sexually abused by a pornographer in the same neighborhood where he lives, he has to step up and bring his intelligence, his determination and his unique insights to save these young men. 
    The case takes him from Fort Lauderdale's seamy underbelly to boisterous beachfront bars where big-fish Russian émigrés launder illegal cash. He'll befriend a beautiful Russian-American undercover agent and rekindle a romance with a man who makes him feel protected. 
    In the end, he'll learn the truth of a saying he learned as a boy – there is a price to pay for every decision we make. Nobody rides for free.
