Collection: Adult

Let yourself be swept away by this fast-paced romance, featuring Grace Calhoun, an instructor of reading, writing, and arithmetic, who, in an attempt to escape the clutchs of a relentless pursuer, runs smack dab into even more trouble with the 6R's - widower Daniel Reeves, along with his five rowdy sons. When a marriage is forced upon this hapless pair - two people who couldn't dislike each other more - an avalanche isn't the only potential danger lurking amid the shadows of Calico Canyon. Will they make it out alive? Or end up killing each other in the process?

"You are a dangerous dream," he said. "My mind is filled with nightmares, and they do not enjoy sharing me."

When Maeve's spell begins to break, Shadow's possession of Mal pushes the world into a war where either the prophecy of The Dread Descendant will prevail, or Magic will fall to ruin.

Exploración revolucionaria e imprescindible sobre el Alzheimer, enfermedad compleja que requiere un enfoque complejo --que la gran mayoría de las investigaciones sobre la demencia pasa por alto--, enseña a los pacientes y a sus cuidadores a simplificar esta complejidad y controlar la enfermedad.

Se calcula que 6,7 millones de estadounidenses mayores de 65 años padecen hoy demencia de Alzheimer. El número de víctimas es impresionante: es la quinta causa de muerte entre los estadounidenses mayores y, sólo en 2023, el coste de la atención médica, los cuidados a largo plazo y los servicios de cuidados paliativos para las personas con demencia se ha estimado en 345.000 millones de dólares.

Pero eso no significa que la mayoría de nosotros estemos condenados a desarrollar Alzheimer. La investigación sobre la neuro plasticidad ha demostrado que nuestros cerebros tienen la capacidad de seguir cambiando, aprendiendo y creciendo incluso en nuestros últimos años. Pocos conocen mejor lo que el Alzheimer afecta a las personas --a sus cerebros, sus cuerpos, sus familias y sus vidas-- que la Dra. Heather Sandison, una de las especialistas más destacadas en el cuidado del Alzheimer. En Revertir el Alzheimer, muestra cómo podemos aliviar los factores que empujan al cerebro al declive, añadir más elementos que contribuyan a la regeneración cerebral y conseguir mejoras significativas en la función cognitiva o evitar que se produzca el declive cognitivo.

Su enfoque es individualizado, paso a paso, y abarca todo el cuerpo. La Dra. Sandison guía sistemáticamente al lector a través de los factores que contribuyen tanto positiva como negativamente a nuestra salud cognitiva, desde los biológicos y físicos (toxinas, nutrición, hormonas, infecciones, ejercicio) hasta los psicológicos (autoconversión negativa, traumas); desde los sociales (compromiso personal con nuestra comunidad, soledad y relaciones) hasta los culturales (discriminación por edad, estrés). La autora ofrece a pacientes y cuidadores un enfoque basado en la evidencia para revertir y prevenir el deterioro cognitivo, y destila un enfoque multifactorial para el tratamiento de esta compleja enfermedad en un programa factible, paso a paso y personalizable.

A revolutionary and much-needed exploration of Alzheimer's, how it is a complex disease that requires a complex approach, how the vast majority of dementia research overlooks this fundamental truth, and how patients and their caregivers can simplify this complexity and take back control from this insidious disease.

An estimated 6.7 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia today. The toll is stunning: it is the fifth-leading cause of death among older Americans, and in 2023 alone, the cost of health care, long-term care, and hospice services for people with dementia has been estimated at $345 billion.

But that doesn't mean most of us are doomed to develop Alzheimer's. Research in neuroplasticity has proven that our brains have the capacity to keep changing, learning, and growing even into our later years. Few know better about what Alzheimer's does to people--to their brains, their bodies, their families, their lives--than Dr. Heather Sandison, one of the foremost Alzheimer's dementia-care clinicians. In Reversing Alzheimer's, she shows how we can alleviate the factors that nudge the brain into decline, add more of the things that contribute to brain regeneration, and either make significant improvements in cognitive function or prevent cognitive decline from happening in the first place.

Former London detective Jake Jackson finds his new life in the country threatened when women start disappearing in this beautifully written and deeply immersive novel that will challenge even the most diehard mystery lover's deductive skills.

A beautiful summer's day

When young nurse Claire Davidson goes missing on the riverbank, the only clues left behind are her phone and shoes.

A mystery that sweeps the nation

People disappear all the time, but this case sparks an online frenzy. Amateur investigators descend on the rural idyll. Everyone has a theory. Is Claire Davidson just the story of a swim that went wrong, or could there be truth to the conspiracies?

A killer growing bolder

But when another woman is discovered dead in the river, signs point to murder. Jake Jackson, a former detective who came to the countryside searching for peace, must investigate before more lives are taken.

"One of my favorite writers . . . It's about friendship, it's about life, it's about how people change . . . I loved it very much."--Marian Keyes

A heartfelt, funny, yet deliciously spicy enemies-to-lovers romcom set during a long summer weekend at an exquisite British seaside resort, centered around a group of old friends whose lives are about to change forever.

Sometimes all it takes is one long summer weekend for the person you thought you hated to become something more . . .

After a disastrous first meeting, Cassie and Marc are instant archnemeses. Despite Marc's frustratingly sharp cheekbones and sexy French accent--and the fact that Cassie's best friends Lucy and Russell think he's wonderful--Cassie is convinced that Marc's a terrible person who did a terrible thing, full stop.

But, years later, when their friends are hit with bad news, Cassie and Marc decide to put aside their differences and give Lucy and Russell the best weekend ever. While they can't change the past, they can help their friends make new memories with all of their favorite people. Which means convincing everyone that Cassie and Marc are head over heels in love, since their best friends have always thought they would be perfect together, and badly wish each would find an ideal partner.

After years of loathing Marc, it only takes four bittersweet days for Cassie to reconsider whether she got the man completely wrong all these years. But can the two let go of their troubled past, and together, face whatever the future will throw at them? Or is this doomed to be just another steamy vacation fling, never again to be acknowledged or repeated?

Rookie journalist Daphne and war photographer Clark investigate a missing maid and rumors of Bigfoot sightings--uncovering danger, buried lies, and unexpected romance deep in the Pacific Northwest wilderness.

Rookie investigative journalist Daphne Drew is finally on assignment--though it's not exactly the hard-hitting story she imagined. Sent to cover a high-society wedding at an opulent Pacific Northwest lodge, Daphne expects floral arrangements and champagne flutes, not whispered rumors of a missing maid . . . or reports of Bigfoot sightings.

She's not alone. Tagging along is Clark Finklestine-Henry, a decorated war photographer with a haunted past--and a camera sharp enough to catch more than just candid reception shots. Together with their loyal dogs, Daphne and Clark begin to suspect something much darker is lurking in the forested shadows of the hotel grounds.

As wedding guests arrive and tension simmers beneath the surface, Daphne and Clark uncover a tangled web of lies, legends, and lost fortune--one that ties the vanished maid, some returning friends, and the infamous DB Cooper together in a mystery that's anything but folklore.

"Beautifully written, wonderfully paced, with characters I care about--this book has me on the edge of my seat waiting for the second in this trilogy to see what happens next." --Carmen Acevedo Butcher, PhD, poet and award-winning translator of The Cloud of Unknowing, Practice of the Presence by Brother Lawrence, and Hildegard of Bingen.

It's 2056 and international oligarchs have pushed the world to the precipice of ecological, economic, and nuclear catastrophe. But two philanthropists have teamed up to establish a long-term colony on Mars.

Could this daring outpost be the next chapter in the story of the human race?

Assembling a crack team of experts including scientists, engineers and ecologists, the colony begins to establish a viable outpost on our nearest planet. But the team quickly run into problems as they bear the responsibility of creating a new humanity. Can they work out what has gone wrong before it's too late? And will the passengers of the last voyage from Earth bring what's needed for this fledging community to flourish?

This first volume in a thrilling new trilogy from Brian McLaren, explores what it means to be human and what would we choose to bring with us or leave behind, if we were to start all over again.

"Juicy and tense, insanely readable and surprisingly tender--you need this one in your beach bag." --CAROLA LOVERING, bestselling author of Tell Me Lies

A sizzling, soapy summer debut, in which two women in a wealthy lakeside suburb clash over a cute male nanny, pulling the town's darker secrets to the surface.

DRAMA LOVES A DEEP END

When Danika Crawley attends events at the Aldon Lakes Country Club, heads turn. Danika has it all--beauty, money, a successful husband, and two perfect children. She plans on making this summer her best season yet and has a secret weapon to secure the envy of her neighbors.

Augie Elling has lost it all. Reeling from a post-grad scandal amidst her now-former life in New York, she returns to Aldon Lakes with her tail between her legs. Augie wants to keep her head down, save money, and find a way to leave her hometown for good, but someone keeps distracting her.

Danika and Augie have one thing in common: they are both a little obsessed with Chat, the male nanny Danika hired for the summer. But, unbeknownst to either woman, Chat's appearance in town sets off a chain reaction that threatens Aldon Lakes' carefully maintained ecosystem. As the heat rises between the three of them, the truth behind a long-buried scandal comes to light, and everyone at the club must reckon with the consequences.

The Lake Club is both an addictive, rollicking beach read, and a stylish, deft exploration of a lesser-known region of American wealth.

"The ultimate summer escape. Stylish, smart, and utterly unputdownable." --GEORGIA CLARK, author of Play It Again

Based on a true story, 1010 Freeman Street unveils the haunting truth behind a family's dream home in Opelousas, Louisiana. What the Chatman family thought was a fresh start became a terrifying nightmare inside a house once used as a hospital. Terrie, Betty, and Bo-Scott witnessed chilling sights - a piano that played by itself, faces forming on the walls, and whispers that never stopped.

Raymond and Ophelia Chatman's only defense against the evil that surrounded their family was prayer - but even that began to fail as the darkness grew stronger.

Decades later, artifacts from the home still exist: a seashell said to trap both good and evil spirits, and a mysterious Pinocchio bank with a presence of its own.

This unforgettable ghost story blends real-life mystery, Southern history, and spiritual warfare - proving that some houses never let go.

A novel of pagan terror from the author of The Ritual and The Reddening.

Disaster strikes quickly and without warning. What should have been a glorious weekend of kayaking and camping, in a secluded beauty spot, is transformed by a scream. The first crisis, initiating a deadly momentum that accelerates as the valley reveals itself to Marcus and his five companions.

They're trespassing on strictly private land. There's only one way out. An escape route closed until the next high tide fills the estuary. In twelve hours' time.

Recreation becomes survival.

Marooned, unable to summon help, harassed by dire and worsening circumstances, the ties that bind the expedition are stretched taut. If they snap, vital cooperation will unravel and the group members' damning secrets will be revealed.

Only the most courageous and committed have any chance against the area's inhabitants. But is any mind strong enough to endure a confrontation with the most hideous revelation of all? An ancient evil that coils beneath the valley's sinister folklore.

A story of life and death in the wilderness, and a horrifying tale of extreme survival against supernatural powers, from the four times winner of the August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel.

A woman returns to the mysterious lodge in the woods where she once worked, and to the inscrutable creature that bound her there, in this haunting Appalachian gothic horror from singular voice Jen Julian. Perfect for fans of Alix E. Harrow and T. Kingfisher.

"A mesmerizing and spell-binding tale, beautifully told, that you will not want to end. You, too, will never want to leave Deerhaven." - Bitter Karella, author of Moonflow

This is the story of Moth, who earned her name working for the Winter Folk.

Every year, the Winter Folk gather at a secret lodge in the Appalachians, a place known as Deerhaven, refuge for the time-worn and weary. As a child, Moth heard warnings from her mother: They are heartless, wild creatures--and they got no concern of us. At twenty-one, Moth is a college dropout, indebted, impoverished, and desperate for better things. She falls instantly for Deerhaven's beautiful antlered host, the mild-mannered Mr. Oslin. When he offers her a housekeeper's contract--one wish granted for a winter of service--she signs without question.

But Deerhaven is a dangerous place. Staff must follow strict rules or else face dire consequences, and the guests can be unpredictable and savage. And yet, Moth endures, enticed by a rumor that Mr. Oslin is looking for a protégé. A singular worker who would stay with him forever and be transformed.

Decades later, Moth returns to Appalachia with her husband and teenage daughter. She can't shake the feeling that she needs to return to Deerhaven, which banished her twenty years ago. As she hunts for a way in, her haunting memories and harrowing experiences come roaring back -- her friends and rivals, her growing obsession with Mr. Oslin, and her mysterious exile.

A door exists in the dark of the woods. After so long away, what has Deerhaven become?

"The Winter Folk feels like an Appalachian Spirited Away, blending the Blue Ridge with Studio Ghibli, teeming with haints, haunts, and monsters. Jen Julian crafts a tale that feels as if it has been handed down through generations of storytellers, a hauntingly evocative gothic for every campfire." - Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Devil Inside
