King Kopilus never apologized in his life Will a small American female force him to break tradition and say the dreaded words? Award-winning architect Jenna Davis is not happy when she's asked to take on a last-minute job and move to Spirima to help rebuild the country after a five-year-long civil war. One would have thought the King of Spirima would be happy to receive a billion-dollar aid package, but when the USA sends a woman to run the show, a major culture clash is inevitable as the King point-blank refuses to work with Jenna because of her gender. King Kopilus thinks his teenage fantasy has come true and that the pretty blonde has been sent to pleasure him. He has a rude awakening when she calls him a barbaric baboon and rejects his generous offer to take her to bed. For that offense alone, he's determined to give the intolerable woman plenty of time to regret her insult in her small prison cell. Will a threat from the USA force King Kopilus to allow Jenna to be the first woman to do a man's job in Spirima? And how will he handle the demand for him to give Jenna a personal apology? King of Slaves is the last installment in the amazing Slave series and quite frankly, Elin Peer has done it again - she gives you fiery arguments, an alpha male versus a strong modern woman, and lots of unexpected plot twists that will have you hooked from beginning to end.

"The adult Jenna Shale looks back on her life, explaining how life is no more than a series of television programs, as she recounts her childhood, the rise of her dance career, and the scandals that resulted from being a teenager in love with two brothers, both much older than herself, who are connected to the glamorous--and the not so glamorous--dance world. The story is written with a unique framing that allows the events of Jenna Shale's life to be viewed through a lens that allows for a comparison to her life with various types of television shows. Complete with directors, producers, commercials, newsflashes, and soundtracks, Jenna recounts her life experiences to the reader in ways that are both humorous and provocative. Growing up is not easy and happens all too fast for young Jenna, who leaves little out when recounting the experiences that would lead her to be a fan favorite of the viewers around her. She is, after all, the owner of JSN (the Jenna Shale Network), where nothing is sacred and very little is as it really seems."
In the follow-up to Behind the Scenes of Jenna Shale, Jenna faces the loss of Aiden and continues to look back on her life, drawing comparisons between life and television as she shares the events that transpired around the tragic loss of her husband, the difficulties in finding love again, and the trials she faced as she tried to come to terms with the harsh realities of her world. With the narrative frame still focusing on television, Jenna tackles the difficult topics of domestic violence and sexual assault at the same time as she continues her exploration of the topics of sex and love.
Hallie is a ten-year old pony who loses her dolly, Jenna. She sets about the town of Riverbend along the Nort Platte River, asking the other ponies who live there if they have seen Jenna, which introduces readers to the characters in the series.

"The best thriller of 2025." --The Boston Globe * "Genius." --The Washington Post "A literary thriller of the highest order" (Elin Hilderbrand, New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Couple), Heartwood takes you on a gripping journey as a search and rescue team race against time after an experienced hiker mysteriously disappears on the Appalachian Trail in Maine. In the heart of the Maine woods, an experienced Appalachian Trail hiker goes missing. She is forty-two-year-old Valerie Gillis, who has vanished 200 miles from her final destination. Alone in the wilderness, Valerie pours her thoughts into fractured, poetic letters to her mother as she battles the elements and struggles to keep hoping. At the heart of the investigation is Beverly, the determined Maine State Game Warden tasked with finding Valerie, who leads the search on the ground. Meanwhile, Lena, a seventy-six-year-old birdwatcher in a Connecticut retirement community, becomes an unexpected armchair detective. Roving between these compelling narratives, a puzzle emerges, intensifying the frantic search, as Valerie's disappearance may not be accidental. Heartwood is a "gem of a thousand facets--suspenseful, transporting, tender, and ultimately soul-mending," (Megan Majumdar, New York Times bestselling author of A Burning) that tells the story of a lost hiker's odyssey and is a moving rendering of each character's interior journey. The mystery inspires larger questions about the many ways in which we get lost, and how we are found. At its core, Heartwood is an "unputdownable" (Real Simple) and redemptive novel, written with both enormous literary ambition and love.

Living in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, JONN RICKARD is beginning to rebuild his life after his recent divorce from an alcoholic First Nations woman. The year is 1968. Still a U.S. citizen, but retaining a work visa, he's employed as a Manufacturing Engineer for a Canadian firm.One night, entering a local bar, he witnesses a man who appears to be a logger, dragging Jonn's drunken ex- wife out the back door, in an obvious attempt to rape her. When he attacks the logger, he's met with a gun. In the ensuing fight, Jonn ends up taking possession of the gun, and in self-defense, shoots the logger dead. He's arrested for manslaughter and jailed.The sole survivor of a fatal police van crash, Jonn flees Canada, and returns to San Diego, his former home. Finding a job with a San Diego firm called Di-Graphics he starts life over again as a Plant Engineer, hoping the Canadian police won't pursue him because they can't identify which prisoner is missing.Months later, Jonn transfers to the Manufacturing Engineering Department, and begins working with a college friend NIL ERIKSON.Later, risking it all, they sell themselves as a package deal to a startup branch of Hunnibern, (a Minneapolis based corporation). The two embark on what seems like an impossible mission to start up a half-million square foot manufacturing plant from nothing, to full-scale production in nine months.Young, cocky, and brazen, the two work tirelessly, along with other engineers, overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles and delays.After successfully meeting the challenge of startup, each engineer guards his area of responsibility with pride while solving vexing manufacturing problems, dealing with human relationships, and refusing to bend to management whims. They are all irreverent, egotistical, and brilliant individuals.Jonn falls in love with KAREN OLSON, a switchboard operator and lobby receptionist, only to find that she is married. Crushed and betrayed, he buries himself in his work to avoid the pain. He finds emotional satisfaction by helping several women regain control of their lives, sometimes bending the rule of law to protect them. His innate curiosity and ability to color outside the lines become his trademark, allowing him to find otherwise hidden ways to improve the manufacturing process, which ultimately govern his salary, and his future.Immensely successful as an engineer, Jonn is promoted into his first supervisory slot, but stumbles, searching for his place between the highly technical manufacturing world and that of managing people.Reconciling his relationship with Karen, after she files for divorce helps him find his footing again, giving him the courage to take care of some unfinished, and risky business. His actions will surely prevent another woman from being killed. Maybe more.After five years of intense work, Hunnibern announces that the San Diego facility will be shut down over the next year and the product transferred to Phoenix, Arizona. Not wanting to relocate to the hot hellhole, Jonn begins to find a way to stay in San Diego, and keep Karen at his side.Spooked by a newspaper article, describing the pursuit by the Canadian RCMP looking for an escaped alleged killer thought to be in the San Diego area, Jonn quickly runs into troubl
