A Murderer Stalks Music Row."Go with the flow," Jill always said. "Get swept up in it. Let it take you where it will. That's the excitement of this business."Jill Edgerton's eye for talent and Sarah Ann Boswell's nose for business have made Edgerton Group one of the fastest growing talent management firms on Nashville's fabled Music Row. With a stable of artists that includes rising stars Stella Wayne, a blue-eyed beauty from Oklahoma with an angelic face and seductive, devilish voice, and Jared Parson, a brash, young singer from Texas whose sultry voice and rugged good looks rocket him to the top of the charts, Edgerton Group is the envy of the country music industry.Success breeds passion.Passion breeds obsession.Obsession breeds homicide.

Love has been called the only mysterious human relation. “Love, Explained” promises to eliminate that mystery with a comprehensive and revolutionary theory of love informed by what we now know about its biological foundations. The result of this new understanding is practical strategies to master the art of being a more loving person. All types of love are covered, not just romantic, but also between parent and child, and between siblings. The thread common to all of them is revealed. The basic questions we have about love are addressed, such as: what love is, why we love, why love fails, how to create new love, how to preserve the love we have, and how to restore lost love. What is the connection between love and health? Why are feelings of love so intense? Why does supposedly eternal, unconditional love sometimes turn into intense hate in the blink of an eye? How can we avoid repeating the mistakes of our parents’ relationships, or of our previous, unsuccessful relationships? At every step, “Love, Explained” turns science-based theory into practice. From what love is we advance to how love works, and end up with ways we can be better at any kind of loving relationship. It’s all based on what the latest hard science reveals. We don’t need love to be a mystery. The yield of banishing the mystery is to gain knowledge, and the yield of knowledge is to make progress in mastering the art loving others, and inspiring others to love us. The book concludes with an assessment of our epidemic of loneliness and a prescription for how we can all contribute to making this world a more loving place.
