Niko knew her inside and out, and if he saw even a smidge of her soul, he would see that she was no longer the girl he left behind… She burned with her demons instead of running from them, but when Niko Davis rode back into town with a bag full of secrets, she knew she would need to start hiding them instead. The one that everyone thought she did, and the one she worked hard to hide. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What are they hiding, and why? Uncertain of who or what to believe, Christine begins to seek an elusive self, even as doing so seems to threaten her very existence.Īmnesia may be rare in real life, but it’s common enough in fiction, and for good reason.

These talismans of their short-lived affair keep his passion alive, and on the death of her parents he buys the house she grew up in, transforming it into a museum of their love, creating a home for his collection. Set in Istanbul from 1975 to today, the story is woven from memories catalysed by objects that Kemal, the protagonist, has taken or stolen from Fusun, his love. ![]() ![]() In 2008 Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk published his novel The Museum of Innocence.

The story of our second series Alpha and Omega is in the same world as Mercy Thompson. Now let’s take a look at the Alpha and Omega series. And what about love, trust, and loyalty? Of course, there are. As you guess, the main themes of these series are danger and prejudice.
