In Rectify, a former Innocence Project director and journalist Lara Bazelon puts a face to the growing number of men and women exonerated from crimes that kept them behind bars for years - sometimes decades - and that devastate not only the exonerees but also their families, the crime victims who mistakenly identified them as perpetrators, the jurors who convicted them, and the prosecutors who realized too late that they helped convict an innocent person.

And, month by month, their bodies expand. At the centre of the Supper Club stands Roberta - cynical yet anxious, precocious and lost. She is seeking the answer to a simple question: if you feed a starving woman, what will she grow into?

Dos amigos, y quiénes más quieran agregarse a esta adicción de automovilismo, la fórmula 1.

Fiona Archer tiene un objetivo: convertirse en una periodista seria y respetada y se ha esforzado mucho para conseguirlo. Por eso no está nada satisfecha cuando el único empleo que consigue es de redactora de sociedad en la revista Madame, entrevistando a los ricos y famosos que tanto desprecia. Como Blake Swanson, por ejemplo, heredero de uno de los ranchos ganaderos más importantes del país y que, por si fuera poco, se las arregla para dejarla desnuda y temblando durante su primer encuentro… literalmente.

Anne es tímida, soñadora y un poco torpe. Trabaja de barista en un casino (o de barwoman, como le gusta decir a ella porque suena a superheroína) y espera pacientemente un amor que no llega. A Luke no le gustan las sorpresas. Pasa sus días trazando líneas en el cielo, no porque sea un romántico, sino porque es astrónomo. Cuando recibe la noticia de que su hermano ha desaparecido y una chica estrafalaria asegura ser su viuda, cree que nada peor podría suceder.

Elizabeth Percival is sweet. Professionally. She left behind a life of stifling luxury to work in Cadwell’s chocolate shop. After more than a decade, she’s itching to take over. She’s not about to let some broad-shouldered brawler mess it up. Even if he does have shoulders to die for. Sidney Chance isn’t an enforcer...anymore. After a decade of smacking heads together in the name of the Chance Brothers, he’s lieutenant to the city’s most powerful family, but he’s not sure what to do with himself.

She stands out like a flame in the dark. Out of place in my orbit, she is a bright splash of color in an abyss of darkness. An innocent in a den of sin. And I, Jared Rush, am a master of corruption. Like my paintings - dark, carnal images that have crowned me the king of the avant-garde art world while also making me a very rich man - I don't flinch away from my baser instincts. And now, every one of those instincts is hungry for the fresh-faced beauty who made the mistake of wandering into my lair.
