Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Devoted Couple: A Novel When the noonday heat held them prostrate under the mocking breezes Of a punka; and when the hot, airless night prevented sleep; when the vastness and stillness Of the jungles were nearly as unbearable as the sultrier cantonments; when the rainy season brought gloom and mouldiness to the ill-built bungalow when the English mail was late, and their souls were sick with dread of bad news and when death struck down some friend at their side - at such times the thought of going home was their only comfort, the panacea for all vexations and sorrows, as if the mere return to Eng land would see the end Of all troubles. Yet now, when the return was an accomplished fact, doubts and fears came thick and fast, even as the summer wind blew over their sensitive frames with almost too cold a freshness. The Shores of the New Forest, the great armed plateau of Hurst Castle, the Needles, like huge blocks of ivory, and the green topped, brilliant-colored strata of Alum Bay, like Joseph's coat of many colors, were presently claiming the delighted notice of the voyagers, who excitedly hurried from side to side, recalling to each other some well-remembered point. Was ever scene more delightful - the cloudless blue of the sky, the sparkling water as blue as the sky, the many boats of all sorts and sizes moving here and there, the houses sheltering amid the wooded clifis, the gladness of vigorous life on all around, the nearness of all dearest to them in the land becoming every instant nearer. All through their future lives would it not rise again and again before them as a picture full of mercy and blessing, overflowing with the gracious loving kindness which had brought them safely to the haven where they would be? A little apart from the crowd of excited men and women who stood together gayly laughing and talking were a husband and wife and two little boys. One child was held by the father, one by the mother, elevated on a big coil of rope, to bring their gaze well over the bulwarks. The little fellows were noticing everything with childish eagerness, impatiently asking, as the boats came and went, if the brothers they had never seen were aboard one of them, and imagining each steamer as it neared them must be bringing them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A couple determined not to end up like their divorced friends try a radical experiment—and get in way over their heads—in this hilarious, heartfelt novel from the author of We’re All Damaged. New York Post’s Best Books to Read in Our Age of Social Isolation • “[Matthew] Norman’s funny and feeling writing makes for an irresistible read.”—Esquire (Best Books of 2020) The Core Four have been friends since college: four men, four women, four couples. They got married around the same time, had kids around the same time, and now, fifteen years later, they’ve started getting divorced around the same time, too. With three of the Core Four unions crumbling to dust around them, Jessica and Mitch Butler take a long, hard look at their own marriage. Can it be saved? Or is divorce, like some fortysomething zombie virus, simply inescapable? To maximize their chance at immunity, Jessica and Mitch try something radical. Their friends’ divorces mostly had to do with sex—having it, not having it, wanting to have it with other people—so they decide to relax a few things. Terms are discussed, conditions are made, and together the Butlers embark on the great experiment of taking their otherwise happy, functional marriage and breaking some very serious rules. Jessica and Mitch are convinced they’ve hit upon the next evolution of marriage. But as lines are crossed and hot bartenders pursued, they each start to wonder if they’ve made a huge mistake. What follows is sexy, fun, painful, messy, and completely surprising to them both. Because sometimes doing something bad is the only way to get to the heart of what’s really good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A spellbinding confession of what it means to abandon one life for another, The Devoted asks what it takes, and what you’ll sacrifice, to find enlightenment. Nicole Hennessy’s life revolves around her Zen practice at the Boston Zendo, seeking solace in the tenets of Buddhism to the chagrin of her Irish Catholic family. After a decade of grueling spiritual practice under her Master’s tutelage, living on a shoestring budget as a shop clerk, Nicole has become dangerously entangled with her mentor. As Nicole confronts her past—a drug-fueled year spent fleeing her family’s loaded silences and guilt-laden "Our Fathers"—and reinvents herself in New York City, her Master’s intoxicating voice pursues her, an electrifying whisper on the other end of the phone. Somehow, he knows everything. In deft, soaring prose that bristles with psychological and erotic tension, Blair Hurley crafts a thrilling exploration of Nicole’s ecstatic quest for spirituality.
