HENRY RHYS: The fates have smiled upon him. Already a film star, he’s been cast for the lead role in his first Broadway production, a dream realized. His photos are all smiles, and everything seems to fall into his lap. He has a secret: a descendent of one of the few survivors of the lost continent of Atlantis, he has a gift that has taken him far in life. He was taught from boyhood the secrets of his legacy, how to use his ability, and the price it exacts: he can have the whole world at his feet, but if he cannot find his soul mate, it will mean nothing to him. As his star ascends, his heart has been plummeting into despair… 
AUBREY STAFFORD: Forced to make her own luck, she fled her rural hometown and is gaining sure footing in New York City through her talent and prodigious work ethic, allowing her to succeed and still live on her terms. She has a secret: a curse has followed her every step since she was a child. She is alone, but her background compels her to remain hidden. She has resigned herself to an life without romance or intimacy, even as she grows troubled and restless…\nUntil Henry hears Aubrey’s voice in his head…and she hears his.\nAubrey is terrified, unable to understand the source of her conflict: as much as she is inexplicably drawn to the handsome, passionate man, it is not possible to live in his world. Not when her entire way of life demands anonymity.\nHenry is overjoyed, knowing Aubrey is his soul mate, as he is hers. He cannot comprehend why she is so reluctant, knowing all too well the desolation that awaits should they choose to deny what the fates have gifted them.\nWill Henry convince Aubrey to hear what he has to say? Will she persuade him to hear her explanations? Above all, will they find a way to listen to each other prior to the curtain coming down before Christmas, whisking him in one direction, and her another?\nVulnerability and strength. What needs to be proven and what can be felt with the heart.\nDo You Hear What I Hear?

The Shadow Man (LIN)

Drastic increases in the use of imprisonment; the introduction of ’three strikes’ laws and mandatory sentences; restrictions on parole - all of these developments appear to signify a new, harsher era or ’punitive turn’. Yet these features of criminal justice are not universally present in all Western countries. Drawing on empirical data, Hamilton examines the prevalence of harsher penal policies in Ireland, Scotland and New Zealand, thereby demonstrating the utility of viewing criminal justice from the perspective of smaller jurisdictions. This highly innovative book is thoroughly critical of the way in which punitiveness is currently measured by leading criminologists. It is essential reading for students and scholars of criminology, penology, criminal justice and socio-legal studies, as well as criminal lawyers and practitioners.
