Book excerpt: "The story of a man's effort to break down the hostility of a girl, and to defeat the unscrupulous craft which endangers her." -The Bookman "In 'The Hundredth Chance,' Ethel M. Dell has written a strong novel, which points a good moral by the questionable means now so much in vogue. The machinery of the plot is the detestable 'triangle,' as it has been called. Circumstances hurry an unhappy girl into a loveless marriage. A good but ill-suited and tactless husband and a former suitor, rejected because unworthy, but still loved, combine to wring the soul of the wife with gloom and temptation. An unnatural mother urges her to fling propriety and morality to the winds. She resists and finally achieves legitimate happiness." -America "As is usually the case with a book by Miss Dell, the character work is the significant part of 'The Hundredth Chance.' The novelty comes in the character of the husband, who, as a horse trainer, mated to a girl of gentle blood, proves himself every inch a gentleman, while her aristocratic suitor - the man of her own class - proves himself to be a beast. The way in which the fortunes of the girl, the nobleman, the horse trainer and the girl's crippled brother are worked out proves Miss Dell a master fiction writer. That she can play upon our emotions through the predicament and the tenderness of the crude husband for his wife's afflicted brother, is further proof that the author is sure of her appeal to the imagination and the feelings of her readers. The book has more of the melodramatic than has heretofore been found in Ethel Dell's books." -Book News "Another choice specimen by a popular girls' author is 'The Hundredth Chance' by Ethel Dell. The book consists of over 550 pages. The first 150 are occupied in explaining the situation which leads a proud young society girl to marry a man who is a gentleman by nature but a horse-trainer by profession; the next 400 tell a sordid story of his efforts to win his wife's love, efforts that are thwarted partly by her pride and partly by the intrigues of a rich and titled scoundrel, intrigues which frequently come too near succeeding to be pleasant reading; while the final twenty pages relate the sensational rescue by the wife of her husband's favorite horse, and the tardy but complete triumph of love." -Journal of Social Hygiene

You can help me in the daytime if you will. But--but--at night, --Jake, please, let me take care of him at night!" There was entreaty in her voice. Jake remained beside her, his hand grasping the arm of her chair. Once more she was conscious of the warmth of the man as of a force that emanated from him. Her fingers closed almost beseechingly upon his sleeve. "Say," he said slowly at last, "is it for your own sake ---or for Bunny's?" She quivered at the question. He was looking past her into the fire. She had a feeling that he was deliberately compelling himseH to do so. "I have always mothered Bunny," she said rather piteously. "I--shouldn't feel easy about him if--if J were aot within reach." "Is that quite true?" said Jake. "True!" she echoed. He nodded two or three times. "Is it quite true that you wouldn't feel easy--absolutely easy--about leaving the boy in my charge?" She hesitated. "Now, don't mind me!" he said. "Be honest! I'm honest myself." She hesitated still. He turned his head slowly and looked at her. "It's not --quite--true, is it?" he said. Her eyes fell before his. "Very well," she said, her voice very low. "We will say it is entirely for my own sake. I want to be with him at night." Jake was silent a moment. Then: "That's a pity," he said, "because I'm afraid the matter is practically settled. Of course I'd call you if he needed you," he added. She drew her hand from beneath his. "You have settled it between you, I see," she said, with a small, pinched smile. He got up and solidly returned to his chair. "Yes, that's so. I don't say we are going to make a rule of it. But for to-night anyway" She...

But just when she thinks she's got it all figured out at last, another loss sends her right back to where she started. Now she must unravel the mystery of some intertwined family trees, odd gaps in her memories, and what true love really means." Kim H., Copyeditor, Red Adept Editing

Book excerpt: "One of the best novelists since Jane Austen....The Hundred Days may be the best installment yet....I give O'Brian's fans joy of it."—Philadelphia Inquirer Napoleon, escaped from Elba, pursues his enemies across Europe like a vengeful phoenix. If he can corner the British and Prussians before their Russian and Austrian allies arrive, his genius will lead the French armies to triumph at Waterloo. In the Balkans, preparing a thrust northwards into Central Europe to block the Russians and Austrians, a horde of Muslim mercenaries is gathering. They are inclined toward Napoleon because of his conversion to Islam during the Egyptian campaign, but they will not move without a shipment of gold ingots from Sheik Ibn Hazm which, according to British intelligence, is on its way via camel caravan to the coast of North Africa. It is this gold that Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin must at all costs intercept. The fate of Europe hinges on their desperate mission. "The Hundred Days is certain to delight O'Brian's fans, for whom happiness is an unending stream of Aubrey/Maturin books....[It] is a fine novel that stands proudly on the shelf with the others."—Los Angeles Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawthorn wasn't trying to insert herself into a missing person's investigation. Or maybe she was. But that's only because Lizzie Lovett's disappearance is the one fascinating mystery their sleepy town has ever had. Bad things don't happen to popular girls like Lizzie Lovett, and Hawthorn is convinced she'll turn up at any moment-which means the time for speculation is now. So Hawthorn comes up with her own theory for Lizzie's disappearance. A theory way too absurd to take seriously...at first. The more Hawthorn talks, the more she believes. And what better way to collect evidence than to immerse herself in Lizzie's life? Like getting a job at the diner where Lizzie worked and hanging out with Lizzie's boyfriend. After all, it's not as if he killed her-or did he? Told with a unique voice that is both hilarious and heart-wrenching, Hawthorn's quest for proof may uncover the greatest truth is within herself.
