I'm a woman in my late 50s. Never married. No children. Unemployed. Trying to make sense of a life that looks nothing like I imagined. How did I get here? That's a long story. Unchosen: The Raw Truth is where I share that story, including the decisions I've made, the things I never saw coming, and the realities I'm facing today. Some of it will be painful. Some of it might be funny. All of it will be the raw truth. My hope is that sharing my story will help me make sense of it all and perhaps help someone listening feel a little less alone. Maybe this will be therapeutic for both of us.

As the captain of a schooner catering to the elite on the Caribbean Seas, Sebastian Stark does his best to avoid any human encounters. Interacting with people isn't his thing, and he prefers the company of a bottle of vodka, a shot glass, and maybe a whore. There's no doubt he's hiding from a checkered past, but he does well keeping everything to himself...until the night his schooner capsizes, and he's stuck on a life raft with one of the passengers. Raine's young, she's cute, and Bastian would probably be into her if he wasn't suffering from alcohol withdrawal.  

Brooding. Grumpy. Loyal. Those were just a few words to describe the goalie who captured my heart all those years ago in high school—Dash Bridges. I can't deny that I've always had my eye on my brother's pensive best friend and teammate. He's been there for me in ways I can't describe. So when the opportunity presented itself to go on a speed date with him, how could I say no?

Gracie had it all. Her band had just booked a national tour, she was finally off the waitlist for her dream dog, and her girlfriend had popped the question. The stars had finally aligned—until they didn't. After a horrific accident, Gracie loses the last five years of her life, including her band, her dog, and her fiancée. When her girlfriend wakes up from the accident, asking for her college boyfriend, Ashley's grand power-couple plans are put on hold.

Sebastian Stark just isn't cut out for normal life with a girlfriend in the hot and humid city of Miami. All in all, he'd rather be back on the island where it was just the two of them, and he could keep everything in balance. The bar down the street tempts him daily, but he's determined to remain strong. Adjusting to normal life is difficult, but Bastian is doing his best to keep himself together and the nightmares away. Raine's happy, and that's what matters to him the most. But not all nightmares can be driven away. 

Does it feel like the more you try to get close to your avoidant partner, the further they pull away? You explain yourself again. Give them more space. Try not to ask for too much. Analyze every change in their behavior. And somewhere along the way, you start losing yourself in the relationship...

Tough gumshoes, rotten yeggs, and dangerous dames In the 1930s and '40s, Black Mask was the single most important magazine for the modern mystery field. In its pages writers such as Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Earl Stanley Gardner reshaped the established view of mystery fiction...

Love thy neighbor? More like loathe the hot, arrogant quarterback next door. Aiden Matthews is everything I hate. He's a conceited playboy who only thinks about his own gratification. How I ended up agreeing to go on a date with him in freshman year is still a mystery to me, but I should have known it was a trick. It's safe to say that ever since he walked into my neighborhood, he's been nothing but a taunting mess of a man, coming in and out of my life as he pleases and never on my terms. We declared war on each other back as freshmen and haven't looked back.

Zahi was young and living life to the fullest. Then, he was thrust into fatherhood and forced to change his outlook on life, love, and happiness. The self-proclaimed bachelor did not expect to be swept up in emotions he'd never felt. However, caring for his daughter, Zuri, charged a part of his heart that he thought was dead. The spark awakened a need for more out of life. From the moment he laid eyes on India, he was drawn to her. The pull was so intense, and no matter how many times he told himself to stay away from her, he just couldn't follow his own command.

Calibrated Taste is a conversation with experts about their intuition, taste, and how they make decisions about things that often feel subjective.

כשאליזבת קין שבה לאירלנד לאחר מות אמה, דבר אחד בלבד עומד בראש מעייניה: להיפרד מהחלק הקודר והמדכא הזה בחייה. בית ילדותה עמוס עד גדותיו בחפצים מיותרים ונוכחותה של...

Boring. Invisible. Pretty for a plus-size girl. Those were all the things I felt about myself, thanks to my chosen career as an accountant and society’s depiction of the perfect female. So, I booked a trip to Vegas for my birthday. In walked Soul Matthias, treating me and my body as anything but ordinary. Player. Bad boy. High-risk. That’s what baseball owners banked on to lowball my contract. I had to get my act together. Then, in strutted Alexa Livingston. A breath of fresh air, someone completely different. But what we had wasn’t real. It was just a marriage contract.
