Maybe breaking up would save them both. Desperate to make up to her family for her past absence, Gia Carter agrees to take over a partially finished architecture job from her grieving cousin, which means more time spent in New Orleans. But when the threats from environmental activists turn violent, she’s assigned a bodyguard who is with her more than she’s been with Xander in the last six months.

Stuck in Denver trying to clear his name through a settlement, Xander Reinerman can feel the distance creeping into his relationship with Gia. She’s the one he wants to spend forever with, but he’s just not good enough—yet. When anonymous letters appear and local gang members assault him, he questions whether they will ever get their chance at forever after all. Life and love are on the line. Can Gia and Xander survive when everything is threatening to end them? **The books in Against All Odds series are meant to be read sequentially.**

More than 150 articles provide a revealing look at one of the most tempestuous decades in recent American history, describing the everyday activities of Americans as they dealt first with war, and then a difficult transition to peace and prosperity. The two-volume World War II and the Postwar Years in America: A Historical and Cultural Encyclopedia contains over 175 articles describing everyday life on the American home front during World War II and the immediate postwar years. Unlike publications about this period that focus mainly on the big picture of the war and subsequent economic conditions, this encyclopedia drills down to the popular culture of the 1940s, bringing the details of the lives of ordinary men, women, and children alive. The work covers a broad range of everyday activities throughout the 1940s, including movies, radio programming, music, the birth of commercial television, advertising, art, bestsellers, and other equally intriguing topics. The decade was divided almost evenly between war (1940-1945) and peace (1946-1950), and the articles point up the continuities and differences between these two periods. Filled with evocative photographs, this unique encyclopedia will serve as an excellent resource for those seeking an overview of life in the United States during a decade that helped shape the modern world.
