Eve and Maggie Abbott are desperate. Out of money, and options, they are forced to move into one very old house. It happens to have belonged to their dead grandmother, but the rent is cheap, and the location is killer. That last sentence is a joke, unless you’re into a “middle of nowhere” vibe—and cows. Welcome to Saintsville, population…too small to matter. Poor girls. Their parents died four years prior, and Eve has been raising Maggie ever since. Correction: trying to raise her, but failing miserably. Attempting to adjust to their new surroundings, life becomes a boring routine of work and school, until one fateful day. A moving truck, preceded by a sleek black hot rod, pulls up to the abandoned shack across the field. Out pour five brothers. Attractive, tall, tattooed, and lethal. But why are all their tattoos the same? What are the new neighbors hiding? And why does Eve have a funny feeling that it has something to do with her? Lock your doors. Close your blinds. The clock is ticking. And the Abbotts? They’re almost out of time.

Where does a moderately popular internet star who never leaves her house look for potential suitors? Online. Tinder, Bumble, Match.com, OkCupid—I tried them all. My thirty-one-year-old self clicked and swiped her little heart out, leading to more dates than I could count, and more disappointment than I was prepared for. Maybe you can relate. Maybe you know all too well the perils of modern dating. But let’s say, eventually, you meet someone. You think to yourself, “Wow, they’re perfect! Take me off the market, put a ring on it, knock me up, the whole enchilada, because they are ‘the one.’” Let’s also say that they “feel the same way” about you. Your life starts to make sense! All the pain, heartbreak, and frustration from past failed relationships was worth it. Slow clap. That’s how I felt about Milos. He was from Europe, a doctor, wealthy, athletic. He had an accent and a dog. Milos was textbook marriage material. For him it was “love at first sight,” but for me, it was “anxiety on every date.” Something was telling me to run—but for two years, the only running I did was straight into his arms. If only I would have listened. This isn’t a love story. It’s my story of survival.

In this rousing call to action against crime, the chief tells what moves he has made to take back the streets in his adopted city from criminals and what he thinks other law officers can do to accomplish the same. Greenberg disputes the contention that law-breakers are victims of circumstance; they commit crimes by choice, he argues, and ought to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. He also stresses that the function of punishment is, indeed, to punish. This is a book of tough talk from a police chief who firmly believes that we are all accountable for our actions and urges both police and citizens not to surrender to hopelessness about crime. --from book description, Amazon.com.

LaTona, a widow, met James Barkley on a trip to Airville with her son, Segun. James and LaTona struck a relationship that led to their being married. LaTona relocated to Airville to join James with her son, and James introduced them to his best friend, Justin Robertson. Justin introduced the Barkleys to his family, but his wife, June, was not enthusiastic about them because of LaTona and her son. To June's displeasure, June's children, Sheryl and Adrian, became friends with Segun, but the more she tried to discourage them, the more they bonded with Segun. One day during the summer vacation, Adrian and Segun went for a bike ride and decided to sit by the lake at the park. In an attempt to walk on a plank, Adrian fell into the lake, drowned, and died later. June got angry, blamed Segun for her son's death, and with the help of a false witness, got Segun charged with manslaughter, for which Segun spent two years in confinement. On Segun's release, June found out that Sheryl and Segun were lovers, and that infuriated her the more, and she vowed to get Segun locked up for good. Through nefarious means, she was able to separate Sheryl and Segun. Through his crisis, Segun found love in Vicentina, who helped him put his life together again. Unfortunately, June managed to get the police detective working on the case on her side, and seeing what Vicentina's uncle intended to do for Segun, the officer decided to destroy Segun's image, creating mistrust for Segun and breaking his relationship with Vicentina. Seeking evidence against Segun for violating a court order, June lost her life tragically. With Vicnetina out of his life, Segun struggled and, in the end, restored his relationship with Sheryl while helping take care of Justin, who had a stroke after the death of June.
