Krissi Montoya lived under her father's thumb her entire life. Now she's escaping to build a life of her own. New city, new job, new school, but without Daddy's money. Krissi never counted on the one-night stand she couldn't get out of her head. There was something about the drop-dead sexy bartender she couldn't forget. When Krissi finds herself bound and gagged on the floor of a warehouse, she has no way to know if it's because of Ruger's club or her father's business. Krissi doesn't know, or care, but she's not some weak hot-house flower waiting around to be rescued. Can Krissi turn her back on the motorcycle club lifestyle that sent her running once, or has she already lost her heart? A man with a mission. A woman with a calling. Can they figure things out or are they destined to fail? Crash has done it again. Sometimes he feels like he's lucky to have survived. There's a reason his brothers call him Crash. Now he's stuck recovering from his latest mishap on wheels, but is he ready for Amber? Amber has seen it all before. Tough guys and those who never let you see that they're hurting. But she wasn't prepared for one who let people see that soft core. Was there more to the man than just his rough motorcycle club exterior? Can Crash and Amber make it past the rule of never become involved with your patient? Can they make it work or are they destined to wanting each other from afar? A prospect trying to earn his patch. An ex-hooker rescued by the club. Can she accept the only thing he has to give? Dumbass had made some mistakes, but planning the club Independence Day party wasn't going to be one of them. But he'd need some help. When Jailbait stepped up, and took command over the other girls, he noticed her for the first time. But as a prospect, he had no place wanting her. Jailbait liked being around the club, but she wanted more than to be passed around the brothers. Looking far younger than her age wasn't helping. But when the club 4th of July party puts her working with Dumbass, something develops. But is he in a position where it could work? Will he be put off by her past? Club rules and customs might just keep them apart, how would they manage? Can love survive secrets and lies? Chris Kinard lives a double life. In one he's an emergency room nurse, who saves lives and helps the sick. In the other, he’s the club medic and a member of the Demented Souls MC. While the secrecy of these dual existences heavily weighs on him, Kinard knows he could never turn his back on the brotherhood. Unable to take the soul-crushing stress of the ICU any longer, Deanna prays transferring to the emergency room will be an improvement. While she wasn't counting on another nurse capturing her heart, one look at Kinard made her pulse race. As much as she longs to be with him, Deanna knows there are parts of his life he’s keeping hidden from her. How long can Kinard keep up the charade before his world comes crashing down? Will his web of secrets destroy any chance with Deanna?

Since the 1990s, the short story has re-emerged in the German-speaking world as a vibrant literary genre, serving as a medium for both literary experimentation and popular forms. Authors like Judith Hermann and Peter Stamm have had a significant impact on German-language literary culture and, in translation, on literary culture in the UK and USA. This volume analyzes German-language short-story writing in the twenty-first century, aiming to establish a framework for further research into individual authors as well as key themes and formal concerns. An introduction discusses theories of the short-story form and literary-aesthetic questions. A combination of thematic and author-focused chapters then discuss key developments in the contemporary German-language context, examining performance and performativity, Berlin and crime stories, and the openendness, fragmentation, liminality, and formal experimentations that characterize short stories in the twenty-first century. Together the chapters present the rich field of short-story writing in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, offering a variety of theoretical approaches to individual stories and collections, as well as exploring connections with storytelling, modernist short prose, and the novella. The volume concludes with a survey of broad trends, and three original translations exemplifying the breadth of contemporary German-language short-story writing.
