La Villa

Francine Pascal
A passionate and sensual story of love, loss, and renewal... When New York newspaper editor Nick Devlin first lays eyes on Anna Green, a young reporter, he falls hard and fast. Anna, not so much -- particularly as she's engaged to be married. But Nick is not about to let a little obstacle like a fiance stand in his way. He loves Anna, and he's certain she'll soon love him, too. He will turn out to be right, but with great love comes the possibility -- even inevitability -- of great loss. Now, looking back on it all from the villa in France to which she has fled, Anna relives her great love as she struggles to embrace a new life full of wonder and hope.

Little Crew of Butchers

Francine Pascal
Lucas Baird is on the lam. He accidentally killed a man in LA. Totally defensible, but he chose to run, as he has done most of his aimless twenty-four years of life. This time Luke ends up in New York, making love to Daisy on a beach on Long Island. A sudden storm traps him under debris in a rain sewer where he is held captive by a gang of kids under the sway and prod of a fiendish twelve-year-old town bully. The kids, in dreadful fear of their tyrannical master, turn savage, heaping hideous acts of torment and cruelty upon poor Luke. P> How he manages to free himself becomes a redemptive tale woven into the fabric of a fraught, bizarre love story reminiscent of THE BEACH and LORD OF THE FLIES.
