Collection: Adult

I, Liliana, am the fiancée of Prince William--aka the "Ice Prince." Although his first impression left much to be desired, I've become rather attached to him! And now that we've finally opened our hearts to one another, all that's left is our happily ever after! I mean, it's not like some other girl is going to swoop in and steal his heart...right?

The deeper the roots, the richer the ruin...

All Quincy Anderson wants is to enjoy a life of quiet, academic solitude hidden away from the world and the people she's never been able to understand. But it isn't long before the dark sins of her past--and her complicated family legacy--find her.

Enter Eden Ivers: charming, magnetic, and the only woman to ever capture Quincy's heart. As students, it was Eden who began unraveling the mysterious deaths and blood-soaked societies linked to their exclusive university, putting them both at the center of a dangerous game with no way to win.

Now years later, the two women are thrust back into one another's lives--and that deadly game neither fully escaped. But ignoring the spark between them isn't as easy as it used to be...and the grisly legacy Eden once so carelessly challenged still lays in wait, ready to claim them both.

"Facts don't matter. What people believe becomes the truth." Juyeon and Seoeun are close friends. One day, after a heated argument, Seoeun's body is found, and Juyeon is arrested as the prime suspect. But for some reason, Juyeon can't remember anything about that day. A journalist breaks the news, shocking the public; television networks compete to air special programs about it, broadcasting sensational headlines. Through numerous interviews with people who testify about the relationship between the two friends, the story unfolds in a whirlwind of events that leads to a surprising and unpredictable ending. With this work, a bestseller and popular success in Korea since its publication, Lee Kkoch-nim offers a chilling warning about a society where the truth is manipulated without regard for the consequences.

CONFIGURING SYSTEM UPDATES... Sangwoo Choo's life is falling apart. Trying to function normally while dealing with intense sexual urges for the first time is hard enough. It's infinitely worse when the object of both his heart's and body's desire is everything he wasn't looking for in a partner. Jaeyoung Jang is a man, a slob, a serial procrastinator, and someone who seems to get angry at the strangest things...but he's also drop-dead gorgeous and the most talented designer Sangwoo's ever had the pleasure of working with. Not that Jaeyoung is faring any better. He's never met anybody more infuriating yet adorable, and if he's being honest with himself, it's obvious the feeling welling up inside him is way more than simple lust--in fact, it might be another "L" word altogether. However, with Sangwoo drawing a clear line in the sand between the two of them, is there any point in hoping for something more? As Jaeyoung's departure for grad school overseas draws closer, it's becoming harder to ignore the fact that their relationship was never meant to last. Faced with their impending separation, Sangwoo and Jaeyoung must confront the future they each had planned for themselves--and decide whether it's one still worth living.

Four friends. One pact. Zero compromises... Until now.

When EJ and her three roommates swear off marriage and motherhood with their infamous "Anti-Marriage Pact," they think they've got life figured out. No white dresses, no baby fever, no losing themselves to societal expectations. Just fierce friendship, creative ambitions, and the gritty freedom of Brooklyn.

But the bonds that once felt unbreakable start to fray as one friend and then another begins to find love. Meanwhile, Chris walks into EJ's life--a buttoned-up tax accountant who dares to question everything she believes about love, commitment, and what it really means to live on your own terms. Now EJ finds herself caught between loyalty to her sisters-in-arms and the terrifying prospect of opening her heart to something she's spent years rejecting. As her carefully constructed world begins to crack, EJ must confront the possibility that maybe, just maybe, she's been wrong about everything.

A wickedly funny and brutally honest exploration of modern feminism, female friendship, and the courage it takes to rewrite the rules of your own life.

Sink or Swim Servaine Noxirel is on a mission to reclaim the title stolen from her family generations ago. Despite the tales of murder and missing people that swirl around the ancestral mansion, what awaits upon her return is not a conniving usurper or terrifying ghost but a single man, seductive yet volatile. Every word he speaks drips sickly sweet like poisoned honey, every touch landing like a fatal caress. So when Mel begins treating Servaine as if she's her long-deceased namesake, the situation becomes clear--one wrong move, and she'll be dead at his hands. But when the "right" move involves pretending to be the Servaine the merman once knew, memories, feelings, and lines rapidly start to blur...

Anger is a natural human emotion but how teenagers understand and express it can shape their relationships, choices, and future.

In Peace: The Other Side of Anger (Second Edition), Dave Wolffe offers a compassionate, practical guide for adults who support adolescents, including parents, educators, counselors, social workers, and youth advocates. Drawing from years of hands-on experience, Wolffe introduces the Anger Management Power Program (AMP), a proven framework designed to help teens recognize emotional triggers, communicate effectively, and resolve conflict in healthy ways.

This updated second edition thoughtfully addresses today's realities including the impact of social media, gun violence, and the lasting effects of the pandemic while preserving the core strategies that made the original work so effective. Readers will discover tools that encourage emotional awareness, build empathy, and promote peaceful problem-solving across real-life situations at home, in schools, and within peer relationships.

Rather than suppressing anger, this book teaches how to transform it into understanding, confidence, and connection.

Whether you are raising a teenager, working in education, supporting youth in treatment or group settings, or simply seeking better ways to guide young people through difficult emotions, Peace: The Other Side of Anger provides clear insight, actionable techniques, and hope-filled direction.

Inside you'll find:

• Practical methods for helping teens manage anger constructively
• Guidance for improving communication between adults and adolescents
• Real-world strategies for reducing conflict and building emotional intelligence
• Support for professionals working with youth in schools, agencies, and care facilities
• A compassionate approach focused on long-term peace and personal growth

This book is both a resource and an invitation to help young people feel understood, supported, and empowered to choose peaceful solutions.

They fight without hope of redemption, driven mad at the helplessness of their mission as the fallen are resurrected to continue struggling for all eternity.

But after he encounters Teoritta, an unknown Goddess of the Blade, the two will forge a pact with the power to change the course of history, and maybe save the world from annihilation...
