Ava Hawthorne’s life is perfectly curated—career-driven, fiercely independent, and resolutely unromantic—until a breakup eight days before Christmas leaves her unexpectedly single and craving change. So, she does what any self-respecting woman would: books a ticket to New York, dodges her family’s pity, and chases a shiny new job at a centuries-old Irish atelier.
During her stay at the historic Fitzgerald Hotel, with its overdone Irish charm, a too-jolly mysterious bartender points her toward a velvet curtain. The catch? When Ava steps through, she finds herself in a speakeasy one hundred years in the past—in 1925, to be exact.
Ava swore never to give her power away to love, or let a man derail her ambitions again. But drawn back to the speakeasy night after night, she finds herself pulled into a connection with the enigmatic owner, Cillian, whose piercing eyes and infuriating calm make her want to both kiss him and throw a drink in his face. Their connection is as magnetic as it is impossible: Cillian belongs to 1925; she belongs to 2025.
As the Christmas lights of the city glow around her, Ava must face the fear she’s carried since childhood—that love only leads to loss. Because falling for Cillian means risking everything: her career, her control, and her heart on a love that—by all logic—was never supposed to happen.
Will Ava uncover the truth lurking within The Velvet Clover? Can she resist the allure of a past that threatens to consume her? When the lines between her reality and this shadowy world begin to blur, will she find the courage to choose her own path—or be lost to the secrets that bind her?

Compelling, dramatic, and heart-wrenchingly emotional, The Other Woman is a beautiful and raw exploration of the 21st century woman.
In Wanter Dynamics & The Love We Are, Mitch Rosacker aligns his decades of exploration in the physical science of field dynamics alongside intensive study of ancient practices, chanting, meditation, and lived experience. His years of examining how external forces affect interconnected objects in motion (Dynamics) taught him that those influences do not end at the creation of rockets or orbiting satellites, but instead, these dynamics are the physical confirmation we need to know that The Wanter and the Love that We Are are not only real, but also serve us on our spiritual path.
Rosacker offers us natural ways to recognize how The Wanter, that part of us designed for our survival, transports us into a limited, self-oriented perspective, and how we have the power to return to experiencing life from a more grounded, loving vantage point. Practices such as the Name That Thought Practice, the Living Practice, and the Loving Blessing Practice are offered as steady companions that build momentum for us to directly experience and remember, again and again, who we really are.
The human dynamics of life offer us a chance to explore the pull of The Wanter and to move toward the lovely possibility of discovering the true love we are. Through this recognition, we are offered the chance to end the war—within ourselves and with others. What remains is love, play, joy, wonder, creativity, compassion, presence, and lots of giggles—lived here and now.
