From #1 Amazon and USA Today Bestselling Author Bella Matthews comes a brother's best friend, bad boy/good girl, football romance.

Lucky Beneventi might be the villain in my fairytale, but given the choice, I'm not sure I'd have it any other way.

My brother's best friend and Philly's favorite football player is the same cocky bad boy every girl wants and the dangerous temptation I was never supposed to touch.

Until I did. . .
And now I can't stop.

I'm selfish enough to crave him-his kiss, his body, his heart-even when I know I'll leave it shattered in the end.

But this can't happen.
We can't happen.
I won't let us.

Even if he makes me feel alive in a way my broken body knows won't last forever. . .

Because the truth is, when the story ends, Lucky isn't the villain.
I am.

Fresh from the projects and a stint in Vietnam, Mike Shea hires into a sprawling shipyard south of the city at the height of Boston's racial clashes. When he encounters a ruthless company and a union leadership whose militancy has faded with the years, Shea reaches across the yard's explosive color line to join and then lead a movement for justice and respect.

As contracts for marine tankers are cancelled, management ratchets down on the workforce, igniting chaos and fear throughout the yard. Then a dangerously damaged tanker limps into the yard, triggering hope for new work but forcing Shea and the welders to choose between risking their lives and losing their jobs.

Brandow's nine years working as a shipyard welder and union activist inspired Goliath At Sunset, a novel of the American working class.

"Jon Brandow hits a home-run with his compelling and absorbing tale of the struggle for workers' rights in a Massachusetts shipyard. The book is simply marvelous and so completely absorbing I did not want to even pause in reading it." Bill Fletcher, Jr., author of The Man Who Changed Colors and The Man Who Fell From the Sky

"Brandow weaves a telling text, capturing diverse voices, youthful energy, and a shipyard's vocabulary and slang...Even if the reader is not a welder, the workplace's cadence and challenges, along with the pride in craft, shines through... For an authentic working-class novel, one can't go wrong with Goliath at Sunset." Mike Matejka, Power at Work

A facsmile first edition hardback of the Miss Marple books, published to mark the 75th anniversary of her first appearance and to celebrate her new-found success on television. When The Murder at the Vicarage was published in October 1930, little did the literary world realise that Agatha Christie, already famous for her early Poirot titles, was introducing a character who would become the best-loved female sleuth of all time. The 14 Marple books would appear at intervals over the next 49 years, with Miss Marple's Final Cases published in 1979, three years after Agatha's death. To mark the 75th anniversary of Miss Marple's first appearance, and to celebrate her renewed fortunes as a primetime television star, this collection of facsimile first editions will be the perfect way to enjoy these books in their original form - 12 novels and two short story collections. Reproducing the original typesetting and formats from the first editions from the Christie family's own archive copies, these books sport the original covers which have been painstakingly restored from the best available copies, reflecting five decades of iconic cover design.

El Séfer Raziel HaMalakh es uno de los textos más antiguos y enigmáticos de la tradición cabalística. Según la tradición, fue entregado por el ángel Raziel al primer hombre, Adám HaRishón, revelándole los secretos de la Creación, las fuerzas celestes y los misterios ocultos del universo.

Esta es la versión auténtica y original, tal como fue preservada por los grandes sabios de Israel -Shimón HaJasid, Yehudá HaJasid, Eleazar Rokeaj y Rabí Taubli- y revisada en su edición hebrea por el Rabino Jaím Kanievsky, de bendita memoria.

Esta primera parte contiene:

• La Oración de Adám HaRishón

• El Libro de la Vestimenta (Séfer HaMalbush)

• El concepto del Ruaj y el Vohu

• El orden del movimiento de las constelaciones y planetas

Cada capítulo revela cómo operan las esferas celestes y los ministros espirituales que cumplen la Voluntad del Creador. Es un texto que enseña no solo sobre los secretos del cielo, sino sobre la preparación interior necesaria para recibir sabiduría divina.

Esta nueva edición, traducida por Daniel Ben Eliyahu, nos presenta un lenguaje claro, gráficos modernizados y notas explicativas, permite acceder por primera vez al contenido del Séfer Raziel HaMalakh de manera profunda y comprensible. Fue el primer libro que abrió el camino de Ediciones Reé al mundo digital, y hoy regresa renovado, con una traducción accesible y cuidadosamente elaborada. Cada palabra, cada símbolo y cada nombre sagrado se presentan con respeto y precisión, preservando el misterio que ha acompañado a esta obra durante siglos.

Guárdalo como un tesoro, y permite que su sabiduría ilumine tu estudio y tu vida.

A plot is brewing between the adventure and romance aisles.

When visiting Twig's Traveling Tomes, customers will get the exact book they need, even if it isn't the one they want. As for the proprietor and renowned Book Witch, Louella Twig lives her life sequestered with her stories, just as she likes it.

When devilishly handsome rogue Everett Sharp stumbles in looking to remove some handcuffs--closely followed by Louella's former tutor, whose prized grimoire has been stolen--her literary sanctuary is fully upended. Only Louella's magic can locate the grimoire, and teaming up with Everett is her best chance at retrieving it . . . but how can she trust that the man behind the wolfish grin isn't interested in stealing the book for himself?

With a host of friends old and new, Louella sets off on an adventure she never thought she'd take--and starts to realize that, just like her books, what matters most has always been what's under the surface.

A sweeping Cold War love story set against the crumbling Soviet empire

Moscow, 1986. Natalie Chester has finally achieved her dream: a posting as an American news correspondent in the USSR at the very moment history pivots. But within days of her arrival, the Chernobyl disaster erupts, her fiancé abandons her, and her bureau chief wages a relentless campaign to destroy her career.

Then she meets Anatoly Kuznetsov--a rising Soviet diplomat whose Nordic looks and reformist ideals set him apart from the gray functionaries of the Kremlin. Their attraction is immediate and dangerous. As they navigate secret meetings, KGB surveillance, and the disapproval of both governments, Natalie and Tolya become allies in a larger mission: to help end the Cold War before it ends humanity.

From the radioactive aftermath of Chernobyl to clandestine trips through the Estonian countryside, from war-torn Afghanistan to a cherry blossom proposal in Tokyo, their love affair unfolds against the decade's most dramatic events--the Reykjavik summit, Gorbachev's glasnost reforms, and the brutal suppression of Baltic independence movements. But as the Soviet empire begins its death throes, the couple discovers that the hardliners willing to kill for the old order will stop at nothing to preserve their power.

Inspired by the author's own experiences as a Moscow correspondent during perestroika, Dispatches from Moscow is a meticulously researched thriller that captures the intoxicating danger of journalism in an authoritarian state and the impossible choices faced by those who dare to imagine a better world. It's a story of professional ambition and personal sacrifice, of idealism tested by reality, and of a love that burns brightest in the shadow of the Iron Curtain's final days.

National Book Award-winning author Timothy Egan calls David Horsey's Beach of Stars "a wonderful novel" and "a masterful bit of storytelling." National Book Award winner Charles Johnson says, "the novel is amazingly good." Best-selling author Will Schwalbe puts it simply: "The book is terrific." Beach of Stars opens with a 21-year-old college student working a summer job in Mexico. In an act of whimsy, he takes a beer to a young woman on a secluded beach. That simple decision ignites a chain of events that, twenty years on, lures him from his career in city politics into a search for the now-fugitive woman -- a journey of revelation that climaxes in a star-crossed reckoning with the past. More than a romance, more than a mystery, Beach of Stars is an odyssey steered by the small choices, impulsive actions, bad timing and happy coincidences that propel human lives toward calamity or bliss.

Meet Betty Block--docile daughter, woebegone wife, aspiring aspirant, and anti-heroine for the ages! Or is the narrator of Madeline McDonnell's farcical, heartbreaking, and formally brilliant first novel just another woman caught in the sneakily patriarchal plots of the early-aughts? And has she left her ostensibly sensitive husband for an hour or two or forever?

As Betty pulls up a chair at the Lonesome Ballroom and tries to explain herself to Lizzie, her erudite-but-distant bartender, she finds herself as trapped by her generation's competing expressions of sincerity and sarcasm as her mother was by the incomplete feminism of the '70s and her grandmother by the insidiously sweet storylines of Hollywood's Golden Age.

An inquiry into gender's relationship to popular aesthetics that swirls from ancient epics to turn-of-the-millennium reality shows, mid-century melodramas to neo-noir car chases, beauteous battle scenes to boy-next-door meet-cutes, Lonesome Ballroom is also a dazzling and rambunctious performance in prose.

Embark on a thrilling journey as four friends chase lost treasure off Cuba's coast, navigating storms and uncovering historical secrets. Their quest intertwines friendship, adventure, and the legacy of a notorious mobster in a race against time.

In 1956, a lobster boat laden with over thirty million dollars in gold sets sail from Nueva Gerona, Cuba, masterminded by mobster Meyer Lansky. The gold, extracted from a granite quarry on Isla de la Juventud, was intended for Santiago de Cuba, where it would be disguised and shipped to Italy for the exiled mob boss Charlie Luciano. However, the gold mysteriously vanished before reaching its destination. Fast forward to the 2006, four friends embark on a daring expedition aboard their 38-foot yacht, departing from Winyah Bay, South Carolina, in search of this lost fortune.

Their adventure takes them along the Southeastern U.S. coast and through the Bahamas, where they face treacherous storms and personal challenges.

Lansky's Gold, penned by Duane Kennedy Nelson, is a captivating historical adventure that draws from rich Cuban history and the author's extensive sailing experiences in the Bahamas and Caribbean. This novel promises to engage readers with its blend of action, camaraderie, and the allure of a bygone era, making it a must-read for those who crave adventure and a glimpse into the shadows of organized crime.
