Les pénitences
Par Alex Viens. 2023
Jules rend visite à son père, Denis, un vieux punk imprévisible, afin de lui remettre une énigmatique petite boîte. Après…
un silence de dix ans, leurs retrouvailles s'orchestrent autour d'un spaghetti bien arrosé. Mais Denis veut dicter les règles du jeu et la tension monte, dévoilant les raisons de ce huis clos qui vire bientôt au cauchemar. Portée par les chansons de The Cure, parmi les flaques d'urine et les débris de la télévision, Jules mettra le point final à ce crescendo de violence qui la révélera tantôt victime, tantôt bourreau. Entre cruauté et nostalgie, Les pénitences ressuscite l'enfance de deux fillettes sous la coupe d'un adulte dangereux aux lois arbitraires. Ce thriller à la prose fiévreuse, où le détail inquiétant et la menace imminente pulsent dans la lueur lavande des enregistrements VHS, montre les ramifications mentales, émotives et sexuelles des relations abusives et de la pauvretéFirst Love Again
Par Kristina Knight. 2015
Some loves deserve a second chance... Coming back to Gulliver Island after a ten-year absence to take care of his…
father should have been simple. Emmett Deal would fix and sell the family home, and return to Cincinnati with his ailing father in tow. Yet something compels him to stay a little longer. The beautiful, bright eyes of Jaime Brown. Ten years ago, traumatic events changed the course of Jaime's life forever, catching her in a small-town life she can't escape. Emmett's return stirs up the memories she wanted to ignore...and dreams she had forgotten. Now she finds herself with a rare opportunity-a second chance. Only this time, it's not just for love...Summer Rain - Back to you
Par Charlotte Forsdick, Anna Winter / Anna Faye. 2016
The young Skyler Montrose turned her back on her hometown Bozeman years ago. Back then a scandal had shaken the…
sleepy Montana town. A scandal in which Skyler’s family was involved. But the events of the past still cast their shadows on another person: Mark Chastain.

When Skyler returns to Bozeman it is not only the old secrets of a youthful indiscretion that boil up again, but also a few old unrequited feelings.Cassie Has a New Secret Admirer
Par Gabriella Regina. 2018
On Valentine's Day week, Cassie got an anonymous romantic message through her college's radio program. The message gave her a…
few hurdles she needed to go through so she could get her admirer's number and get in touch with him. So she could have a date on Valentine's Day -- a chance that, according to her admirer, Cassie couldn't waste. Any other girl in Cassie's situation -- single and with no romantic prospects - would have been excited with the possibility of having a date to the most dramatic day of the year, just this weekend. But Cassie is not one of those girls. She has a history, and that history includes a stalker that was after her for a long time, and that anonymous message left her frightened with the possibility that, maybe, he's back in her life. Tthis time, to stay. So, Cassie goes after the one person that can help her find out who her secret admirer really is, before she has to go through the steps and face him, something that may end up being fatal for her.The Débutante

Andrea: Enchanted Aleutian Pricess
Par Robert Algeri. 2020
I met Andrea Altiery in 1981; the first thing she asked was, “Do you like the rock band Aerosmith?” I…
responded, “Yes.” She smiled and slapped me on my left shoulder telling me, “Dream on my friend.” Later that year Andrea was taken from us by the most notorious serial killer to ever hunt in the state of Alaska. Get ready to collectively ride an emotional ride through urban Alaska while looking through a steamy window for lost love; love that's never found and love that maybe never was. I can only imagine the helplessness; the complete feeling of being alone these women had; Andrea must have had, preyed upon all of their spirit's gathering together now. Victims of circumstance; none of these women deserved to be mistreated like Andrea; dehumanized, erased from our minds. One last chance to give Andrea a voice, each woman asking us can you hear me, do you see me now?Wedding Bells at the Signal Box Cafe: A heartwarming romantic comedy
