Eva Sterling left Walnut Hill without a backward glance...ran at high speed is actually more accurate. She has been living the life she always wanted with her husband Matt until tragedy strikes and turns her world upside down. Her hometown, until now, has never given her what she needed...has always been more draining than sustaining. Now, she must return home to the life...the family...everything upon which she once turned her back and hope that the place from whence she came has what she needs now to heal. Jesse Hawthorne instigated Eva's departure. He was utterly responsible for breaking her heart more times than he could count. He has carried with him the knowledge and the burden that she ran away, not from the town, but from him. With her arrival back in his life, he is bound and determined to be the man he always knew she deserved. Second Chances asks its characters, and its readers, the question, "Is it possible to build a future on a foundation of regret?"

In becoming a scientist, Claire Cyrus hopes to escape the fate of her dead father, a brilliant but critically unsuccessful poet whose poverty and bitterness derailed her own strong talent for verse. Soon after moving from England to take up her first job in a start-up biotech company in the Netherlands, she finds herself an outcast in her strange new environment, shunned by her jealous colleagues and moving only on the fringes of the expatriate community. But when she makes an accidental discovery in the lab, her life will never be the same again. The Honest Look is a tale of passion, betrayal and a devastating secret that threatens to bring down careers, a company and a widely accepted scientific theory. Unfolding in the modern corporate laboratory, where the idealism of advancing knowledge and the uncompromising reality of profit margins exist in uneasy truce, this is a story of how people with various stakes in a common endeavour react when its integrity is called into question, and how these reactions can be shaped--and warped--by denial, greed, hatred and love.

Besides, Beans isn’t anyone’s fool. In fact, he has plans. Big plans. And the consequences might surprise even Beans himself. Return to the wonderful world of Newbery Honor Book Turtle in ...
