Summary
The first time Ava saw her was during the summer heatwave of '62.
Ava had worked at Sal's Diner since she was sixteen, and after three years of slinging hash and pouring coffee for truckers and locals, she'd developed a sixth sense about customers. The regulars who'd tip well. The ones who'd camp out for hours nursing a single cup. The handsy jerks who thought a waitress uniform was an invitation.
But her? She was something else entirely.
It's 1962 in the middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania, and Ava Silva's life runs on diner coffee and routine—until Beatrice Bennett walks in with her fancy camera and turns everything upside down. A professional photographer with stories in her eyes and a habit of disappearing, Beatrice becomes Ava's favorite irregular regular. But when two years of silence follow their summer together, Ava thinks it's over... until the bell above the diner door jingles one rainy night in '64, and there she stands.

Summary
The orange and yellow leaves from the two gorgeous Red Oaks in the backyard fell to the ground in true autumn fashion. It was colder this year, a storm front had blown through just a few days before Halloween and threatened to upend all her decorations in the front yard.
Her decorations, of course, began and ended with some spiderwebs and a plastic K-mart skeleton, but Ava did what she could.

Summary
Ava Silva has come to London to find a spouse. Not for herself, you understand, but for her sister, Camila. Anyone will do, as long as they will grant Camila the romance she deserves (and that Ava knows she will never have for herself). Well, perhaps not anyone. The Viscount Beatrice Bridgerton, for example, is wholly unsuitable. Yes, she is the most eligible bachelor of the season, handsome, charming, wealthy, of high rank, and possessed of a fine sense of humor. But the Viscount has both the reputation of a rake and no interest in the love match Camila so dearly deserves.
And if the Viscount should pursue Camila? And Camila should find her as charming as Ava does? What then?

Summary
Beatrice likes her life. Her work is fulfilling, her team is supportive, her friends love her (and potentially, despite all appearances, so do her parents). She wants for nothing. She wants nothing. Then a chance meeting with a friendly flight attendant throws all of that certainty up in the air.

Summary
The moral quandary of evil is so much bigger when you fight demons. Even more so when you are demons. Mary always thought she knew where the line between good and evil was. It's the line she fights so hard to protect. Now she's wishing she was wrong and fearing she's right.
OR
Mary knows what evil lurks beneath Beatrice's calm facade. It's why they need to keep Ava away from her. To keep Ava safe. Too bad Ava's historically horrible at keeping Ava safe. Turns out she's even worse at staying away from Beatrice.
Mary's begrudgingly impressed at the sheer lack of survival instincts this requires.
