Winston, a young painter, shares an east Village apartment with Jamie, the son of a prominent art dealer. the death of Jamie's father, who has disinherited him, sets him spinning into the depths of despair. It seems that neither Winston nor Jamie's girlfriend, amelia, can do anything to help him. But then Jamie has a brilliant idea. On his way home from the reading of the will Jamie ran into Tess, one of his father's richest, most important collectors. Jamie lied to Tess, telling her that his Father left him one in a series of the rarest of all of Credeaux's canvases and that she must buy it. Convinced that they will all three be set, Jamie talks Winston (who is studying Credeaux) into inventing this painting with amelia as the model. the relationships between the three begin to shift as their needs and desires become more evident. Once the painting is completed, and Tess enters their lives, everything comes out in the open, and no one escapes unscathed-the damage is tragically done.

Principality Of Sorrows, The

Synopsis:
In 1923, a young New York socialite named Iris abandons America for the lavish garden of a Belgian castle, where she is courted first by Teddy, an idealistic young banker, and then by Marc, an embittered veteran of the Great War. In 1934, after Iris' death, Teddy and Marc find themselves back in Belgium, fighting over the garden they have inherited from her, and fighting over a woman who looks almost exactly like her. In 1947, the sons of Teddy and Marc meet each other in the garden, along with a free-spirited oil man's daughter named Holly, in one last attempt to settle old scores and set the spirits of the castle at rest, once and for all.

Rescued by a disheveled trio of sailors, adam comes to believe that he is the lost prince of the fabled country of Gildoray. But nobody else in the world believes that Gildoray even exists. Despite all this, adam risks everything to reclaim his throne. Before his quest is over he will have battled pirates, warriors and gryphons; he will have weathered typhoons and plagues; and he will have both won and lost his princess and his children. the WORLD OVeR is a decidedly modern romance about a man in search of his home.
