She's used to doing all the rescuing. But love has a way of changing everything.
Hailey
Jensen is in the rescue business--animal rescue--and more than willing
to risk life and limb for fowl or fauna. Just when life couldn't get
better, her world crumbles. Her identical twin has cancer, and her
marine rescue is failing before it even gets started. Lacking coping
skills, she takes refuge behind sarcasm and solitude.
But,
thanks to Dr. Rainer Hartmann, her sister's friend and a man who
mistakes overbearing control for helping, she finds herself on the
opposite end of the control stick. A wildly independent woman, Hailey
fights with the determination of a bulldog as Rainer struggles to drag
her out of despair...and into his arms.

FREE -- Kindle UK Edition -- Rescue Me (a quirky romance novel about secrets, forgiveness and falling in love) by Sydney Allan
FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- A Child al Confino: The True Story of a Jewish Boy and His Mother in Mussolini's Italy by Eric Lamet
Eric Lamet was only seven years old when the Nazis invaded Vienna—and
changed his life and the lives of all European Jews forever. Five days
after Hitler marched in, Eric Lamet and his parents fled for their
lives. Unable to remain together, the family split—he and his mother hid
out in Italy, while his father returned to his native Poland and an
even darker fate.
In this remarkable feat of memory and imagination,
Lamet recreates the Italy he knew from the perspective of the scared and
lonely child he once was. We not only see the hardships and terrors
faced by foreign Jews in Fascist Italy, but also the friends Eric makes
and his mother's valiant efforts to make a home for him.
In a
style as original as his story, the author vividly recalls a terrible
time yet imbues his recollections with humor, humanity, and wit. With a
rare compassion toward friend and foe alike, little Eric Lamet shows us
that there is light to be found in the darkest places—and that we should
remember the good as well as the bad.

As one of New York's top sex therapists, Dr. Morgan Snow sees everything
from the abused to the depraved. The Butterfield Institute is the
sanctuary where she tries to heal these battered souls.
The
Scarlet Society is a secret club of twelve powerful and sexually
adventurous women. But when a photograph of the body of one of the men
they're recruited to dominate -- strapped to a gurney, the number 1
inked on the sole of his foot -- is sent to the New York Times, they are
shocked and frightened. Unable to cope with the tragedy, the women turn
to Dr. Morgan Snow. But what starts out as grief counseling quickly
becomes a murder investigation, with any one of the twelve women a
potential suspect.
The case leads Detective Noah Jordan -- a man
with whom Morgan has shared a brief, intense connection -- to her
office. He fears the number on the man's foot hints that the killings
have just begun. With her hands tied by her professional duty, Morgan is
dangerously close to the demons in her own mind -- and the
flesh-and-blood killer.

FREE -- Kindle UK Edition -- Nowhere to Hide by Joan Hall Hovey
Raised in an atmosphere of violence and unpredictability, Ellen and Gail
Morgan have banded together, survivors of a booze-fertilized
battleground, forming a fierce united front against an often cold and
uncaring world. When their parents are killed in a car crash, Ellen
becomes the mother figure for Gail.
When fifteen years later Gail
is brutally raped and murdered in her shabby New York basement
apartment, practically on the eve of her big breakthrough as a singer,
Ellen is inconsolable. Rage at her younger sister's murder has nearly

camera, she challenges the killer to come out of hiding: "Why don't you
come after me? I'll be waiting for you."
Phone calls flood the
station, but all leads go nowhere. The police investigation seems doomed
to failure. Then it happens: a note, written in red ink, slipped under
the windshield wipers of her car, 'YOU'RE IT.' Ellen has stirred the
monster in his lair … and the hunter has become the hunted!

him?
