    Summary

    After the English teacher had called, Carol had nearly ripped apart one of the boxes that had contained new copies of books. Not only was Alice acting out at home, she was now also doing it at school. Her daughter was becoming someone unguided, a loose cannon that couldn’t be steered into a right direction. God, Manny had even looked at her in disbelief when she ended the call and wished her good luck once she’d left.

    Alice stopped at an open door of a classroom where a brunette was sitting behind the desk, vigorously typing on the laptop. It wasn’t until Alice knocked on the door with the deepest sigh, when the woman looked up.

    Carol couldn’t believe her eyes. The very same woman she hadn’t stopped thinking about from the very first time she saw her at the café, was her daughter’s English teacher.

    Summary

    “I want to have a baby,” Zosia suddenly blurts out, causing Carol to look up from her MacBook.

    “With me?”

    “What?”

    The question escapes Zosia before she has time to think about it, and Carol’s mouth twitches.

    It’s the beginning of a grin, and Zosia knows immediately that she has made a mistake.

    “No,” she says, already sounding exasperated. “Not—”

    Carol’s grin widens.

    Summary

    When the Muse of Song decides to try and tell a story...

    Carol Sturka writes the Nashville hits that blare out of car stereos on every country road, but her soul is in the songs she plays to nobody on Monday nights. Zosia, a young hungry singer feeling boxed in by the Nashville machine, hears Carol sing one of those songs in a crappy bar and makes it her mission to find Carol and record that song. Helen, an emotionally guarded studio owner who has a painful history with Carol, against her better judgment, decides to make it happen.

    They find resolution, healing, love and the creative partnership of a lifetime. And a busybody Muse who will give you, dear reader, all of the tea.

    Summary

    “Drink this, and I’ll consider serving you again,” says Legs, and there’s something in her accent.

    “What are you, my mother?” She scoffs, already lifting the bottle up to take a sip.

    “Why, do you want me to be? We just met. It’s a little early for a mommy kink."
