Two ex-boyfriends. One perfect holiday. Can they leave their baggage behind?
When influencer Brady Gibson is asked to be a global travel ambassador, he's thrilled. Poolside cocktails. Gorgeous views. Designer boutiques. What could be better? And it might just heal the pain from his break-up with Hayes Carter, nine months ago.
None of Brady's followers know about the split, as Brady's relied on a backlog of photos to keep posting. But the company want the "perfect couple" they see online and that couple no longer exists.
Hayes has given up on Brady and social media altogether, using his broken heart as motivation for medical school. But school is expensive, so when Brady calls with the lucrative proposition that will pay his fees, he accepts - as long as they promise to keep things platonic.
But after a hot summer travelling the major European cities, will this couple find their fake dating turning to real love?

A spicy, fake-dating, second-chance romance that will sweep you away. Fans of Emily Henry, Casey McQuiston and Elena Armas will love this perfect summer read.

In a spicy, contemporary fantasy novel, private investigator Linda Villanueva runs a detective agency for troubled souls using her mystical powers--all while wrestling with her own heart. Cebo Campbell, author of Sky Full of Elephants, ​calls it​ "Lush, provocative, and deeply human."

AN EVIL FORCE IS FEASTING ON DESIRE.

Evelyn Kendricks is having a day. An overworked manager, she's been dumped by her toxic boyfriend while struggling to cope with the recent ghost invasion that's shocked the world. Devastated, she is mysteriously summoned to an eerie townhouse where she meets Linda Villaneuva, a private investigator who runs a secret mystical detective agency. She's able to sense the emotions of others, especially those suffering from heartache.

Linda would like nothing more than to help her latest client, but she soon makes a gruesome discovery: People are losing their memories and wandering DC streets in a zombie-like daze. Their eyes, demon red. Their skin, blistered, burning... and no one understands why. Panic has begun to consume the city as more folks succumb, putting Evelyn and other residents at risk.
In the biggest case of her life, Linda follows a trail of clues to unearth an evil force far deadlier than anything she could've imagined. And all the while, she must reckon with the tragedies of her past and the price she's paid for her supernatural gifts.

A layered urban fantasy that serves up spicy romance, titillating mystery, and otherworldly horror, The Broken Hearts Agency is the latest page-turner from an acclaimed storyteller.

It's time for a revolution!

BUE es la ciudad de Buenos Aires hecha novela, una novela que, gracias a la escritura desafiante de un autor capaz de sintetizar de forma poderosa el mundo en que vivimos, supone un auténtico triunfo.

No hay nada más único y más diverso que una ciudad. En cada una, millones y millones de personas se cruzan, se miran, se rozan, se dejan atrás: nos acostumbramos a que nuestras vidas sucedan entre multitudes de desconocidos de los que somos, al mismo tiempo, vecinos, compatriotas, víctimas, verdugos, compañeros de esperanzas y de frustraciones. Con ellos construimos y compartimos el estilo de nuestra ciudad, esas características que la hacen distinta de todas las demás. BUE refleja esta diversidad: sus páginas están atravesadas por docenas de personajes, situaciones, culturas, espacios, voces que arman el fresco, desbordante de vida, del último siglo de una de las ciudades más sorprendentes y sorprendidas de Occidente.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

BUE is the city of Buenos Aires made literature, a novel that, because of the defiant narrative of an author capable of powerfully synthesizing the world we live in, becomes an absolute triumph.

There is nothing more unique or more diverse than a city. In each city, millions and millions of people cross paths, look at each other, rub against each other, leave each other behind. We are accustomed to seeing our lives unfold among multitudes of strangers, to whom we are, all the while, neighbors, compatriots, victims, executioners, companions in hope and in frustration. Along with them we build and share the style of our city, those features that set her apart from all other cities.

BUE reflects this diversity: its pages are traversed by dozens of characters, situations, cultures, spaces, voices that ensemble the fresco, overflowing with life, of the past century in one of the most amazing and amazed cities in the Western world.

Our happy family plan. Yours and mine!Thanks to Elentzia's betrayal, Hadis has been captured, and Jill is burnt to a crisp--or at least that's what would have happened, had she not been whisked to safety at the last moment by a black dragon! Jill will need to persuade it to lend her its power to save Hadis, but such a ferocious beast won't be convinced easily. Meanwhile, Hadis and Risteard desperately want to know why Elentzia has sided with Prince George...and the answer just might upend not only the royal family, but the entire empire!

The chilling real-life crime that inspired a rock 'n' roll classic.

Seventy-five years ago, in the winter of 1951, a young hitchhiker named Billy Cook set off on a brutal cross-country killing spree that shocked the nation. Over the course of several harrowing days, Cook left a trail of terror stretching from Missouri to California and beyond, targeting unsuspecting Good Samaritans who offered him a ride. His cold-blooded crimes captured headlines, terrified travelers, and led to one of the most intense manhunts at that time in American history.

More than two decades later, the haunting legacy of Billy Cook would echo through popular culture-most notably in the eerie lyrics and mood of The Doors' iconic 1971 song, Riders on the Storm.

Part true crime thriller, part historical chronicle, Riders on the Storm uncovers the full story behind Cook's rampage and the devastating impact of his actions on the families of his victims. Drawing from original court documents, eyewitness accounts, and contemporary reporting, this gripping account brings to life one of the darkest chapters in mid-century American crime.

Perfect for fans of In Cold Blood, Helter Skelter, and Mindhunter, this is a must-read for true crime aficionados and classic rock historians alike.

Part memoir, part historical account, In the Fight is a front-row seat to the key political battles and big business treachery that destroyed the once-thriving American middle class. Union leader Rich Michalski takes us from local lodges to the plush inner sanctums of billion-dollar corporations to the hallowed halls of Washington, where he fights for American workers alongside - and sometimes against - CEOs, senators, governors, and presidents, including Jack Welch, Mitch McConnell, Jim Doyle, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Michalski's first-hand account covers everything from the heyday of American manufacturing jobs to its post-NAFTA apocalypse, where nationwide poverty and resentment set the stage for the rise of Donald Trump.

And even though she took it upon herself to work behind the scenes and keep the heroine Konoha on track, her identity is revealed, and she now faces execution...! Stuck between a rock and a hard place, with only Yatori and the Cheneau standee for company, Satou must engineer a jailbreak or it's game over for her...!

A FINAL DECISION When Camellia survives a last-ditch attempt on her life, the mastermind, Lady Anastasia, loses everything in the aftermath--her reputation, honor, and even her son.

To do so, she must leave her ties to Louver behind, but is the title of Grand Duchess worth it if it means losing her mother?
