THE TREE IS UP!!! I am a good person (heavy breathing) and people like me (more heavy breathing). Alright, it was hubby who put it up last night, but I did a lot of directing and pointing. We have a fake tree, so it wasn’t even heavy, but it still wore me out. I think my issue is that I know how much work it is going to be to put up those ornaments. I don’t let my baby bassets decorate the tree yet because I am such a control freak about where the ornaments go. Birds on top, larger balls towards the bottom and no empty spaces. The colors must be distributed evenly. I gave the baby bassets their own little trees for their bedrooms, and based on how they decorate theirs, it will be a while before they can even touch my tree. When their trees stop falling over from the weight of all the ornaments being on one side, that’s when we can talk.

Every town has its history and skeletons, but Silent Bend, Mississippi’s are darker than most. Ruled from the shadows by the House — the immortal Born and their aging, enslaved Bitten — everyone knows not to go out after dark and that the police will never look into crimes involving blood. Alivia Ryan didn’t know the man who claims to be her father through a will even existed until she inherits the Conrath plantation. Instead of the sleepy house she expects, she finds a mansion and a staff who look at her with fear in their eyes. Ian Ward tried to kill Alivia the first time they met, and then insisted he train her to defend herself against the House, who he claims will try to manipulate and take her in for their own political reasons. And the growing attraction between them will threaten their lives — Ian is a sworn enemy of the House. In Silent Bend, people disappear, the threat of a demented King and the legend of his resurrecting Queen hang over everyone’s heads, and proving loyalty means far more than blood. You’d better watch who you trust in this town…
