(INT)
(INT)
As a young man, Jacob
Jankowski was tossed by fate onto a rickety train that was home to the
Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. It was the early part
of the Great Depression, and for Jacob the circus was both his salvation
and a living hell. A veterinary student just shy of a degree, he was
put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It was there that he
met Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August, the
charismatic but twisted animal trainer. And he met Rosie, an untrainable
elephant who was the great gray hope for this third-rate traveling
show. The bond that grew among this unlikely trio was ultimately their
only hope for survival.

Prize 9: Noah by Elizabeth Reyes
Veronica Cruz has been
through hell and back. After disconnecting with the world two years ago
to be at the side of her dying mother, she’s left alone, unemployed,
overweight, and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When
her best friend coaxes her into joining the local gym to ditch her
depression and rejuvenate her life, she meets Noah. Assigned to help
Veronica lose weight, Noah is everything she expected a young trainer to
be—perfectly chiseled, supportive and motivating. Add to that, he’s
incredibly sexy. He’s everything she’s ever looked for in a man. What
she least expected was for him to fall for her, but he has. There's just
one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger. Noah
Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing title—someday. Down for a few months
with an injury, his maintenance-boy pay at 5th Street Gym won't cut it.
He’s finally given the opportunity to train. The catch? His trainee is
an out-of-shape woman with a free week pass. Taking on the challenge,
Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he’s ever known, and
before he knows it, he’s in love. But Veronica’s not having it—the age
difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to
watch her date other men—something that would make him crazy. Believing
he's the man for her, Noah sets out to prove that age is but an
illusion, and there's more to him than just a number.
