Generational Trauma

From the \#1 New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing comes a new contemporary romance about the summer a celebrated dancer returns home and unearths years of family secrets with the Coast Guard rescue swimmer she never forgot. Elite ballerina Allie Rousseau is no stranger to pressure. With her mother’s eyes always watching, perfection was expected, no matter the cost. But when an injury jeopardizes all she’s sacrificed for, Allie returns to her summer home to heal and recover. But the memories she’s tried to forget rush in and threaten to take her under. As a Coast Guard rescue swimmer, Hudson Ellis knows that hesitation can mean the difference between life and death. He’s always prided himself on being in the right place at the right time, especially when it came to Allie Rousseau…until the night he left for basic. After the biggest regret of his life, the secrets he keeps mean he can never be with the one woman he wants more than his next breath. When Hudson’s niece shows up on Allie’s doorstep, desperate to find her birth mother, Allie finds herself in an unimaginable position. Allie and Hudson’s past and present might be endlessly complicated. The thread that tied them to each other all those years ago may have unraveled, but the truth could pull them back together, or drive them apart forever.

I kissed my best friend’s little sister, and the world stood still. That night we were two perfect strangers, the town’s grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until we weren’t. Because Nadia Dalca isn’t just some girl. She’s the girl I can’t have. Fourteen years younger than me and completely off-limits. My plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing us together. It’s like some sort of cosmic joke, to give me a taste of something so electric—so real—something that breathed life back into me. Because I can look, but I can’t touch. Her sinful curves, her light-hearted laughter, her wild side . . . I’m addicted to every last bit of her. And when she turns those sultry eyes on me––the ones so full of longing and so free of judgement? I’ve always considered myself a strong man. But when she looks at me I’m weak. To give in to our connection would be a betrayal. My life is beyond complicated, and she has the world at her fingertips. Her brother is the only family she has left, and sad as it sounds, he’s also my only friend. But I kissed her again anyway. And now I can’t stop.

Je dokonalé červencové ráno a Elle, padesátiletá šťastně vdaná matka tří dětí, se probouzí v „Papírovém paláci“ – na rodinném letním sídle, které navštěvuje každé léto svého života. Jenže toto ráno je jiné: předchozí noc se Elle a její nejstarší přítel Jonas vyplížili zadními dveřmi do tmy a poprvé se spolu vyspali, zatímco jejich manželé uvnitř dál klábosili. Během následujících čtyřiadvaceti hodin se Elle bude muset rozhodnout mezi životem, který si vytvořila se svým skutečně milovaným manželem Peterem, a životem, o němž si vždy představovala, že by ho prožila se svou dětskou láskou Jonasem, kdyby tragická událost navždy nezměnila běh jejich životů. Jak Hellerová vykresluje zkušenosti, které Elle přivedly k tomuto dni, dospíváme k jejímu konečnému rozhodnutí v celé jeho složitosti. Něný, a přitom zdrcující Papírový palác zkoumá napětí mezi touhou a důstojností, dědictví zneužívání a zločiny i poklesky rodin.
