On the eve of Lady Glinda's retirement, Nor receives an invitation summoning her to Pertha Hills, the seat of the Upland Arduenna family.
To hear the entire story.
To know the whole truth.--

Summary
Carla decides to bring Betsy with her to a work-related event, but car troubles threaten an end to her plan—until DS Swain steps in to help.
'She’s overdressed for the morning, if not the event she’s about to attend, Lisa thinks. A vision in black, hair straight, eyes sharp—and a signature pair of docs at the ends of her feet that lend her the slightest height advantage. When she’s close, like this, Lisa can smell her perfume and almost forget that she’s meant to be paying attention when Carla starts speaking.'

Summary
Melissa trails after her as Ava leads the way to Barbara’s office, giving a narrated tour of the suite of offices.
“There’s the coffee machine, and it’s broken more often than not, so I recommend you just buy it somewhere else. Restrooms, Janine Teagues’ (Senator’s assistant, you’ll meet her) office, my office, Joshua—”
“JACOB! For the last time, Ava, my name is JACOB!”
“—Hill’s office, the speech writer. And this…”
Ava pushes open the office door just in time to hear Barbara ask the recording technician “Is the mic still hot?”
At the shake of his head in the negative, she picks up a stress ball from her desk and flings it against the wall.
“Asshole!”
“And this is Senator Barbara Howard,” Ava mutters. She straightens and clicks her tongue. “Barb! Language.”
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Senator Barbara Howard's political ambitions are jeopardized when Secret Service Agent Melissa Schemmenti is assigned to her detail.

Summary
"It’s good, because it feels bad. Like a hit of something new. Misty is breathing like she’s winded. She smells like disinfectant. It feels like tasting blood, like running in the cold so hard your lungs hurt, like staring over the edge of a cliff, like stitching shut a septic wound while trying not to scream."
Misty is another addiction Nat is struggling to beat.

Summary
“Oh, I don’t know,” Regina says. “It makes a certain amount of sense on paper. Henry’s two mothers, all that fighting, making magic together, tentative trust built. Destroyed of course, but Robin needn’t know that. Plus, I knew it would really irritate him.”
Emma wants to ask why but also doesn’t want to push her luck. “And you expect me to go along with this?”
“I don’t know how else to put this, Ms Swan,” Regina says, leaning forward. “You owe me and I’m calling to collect.”
It's been a month and Regina won't speak to her, until she does and Emma is left pretending to be in a relationship with her so that Regina can get through a dinner invitation with her pride intact.- Language:
