When writer Nick Carraway leaves the Midwest for West Egg, near New
York City, in the spring of 1922, he is swept into the dazzling
world of his fabulously wealthy neighbor, Jay Gatsby. No one knows
where Gatsby or his money comes from, but the parties at his
mansion are legendary. Aloof and above the fray, Gatsby scans the
crowd for one person in particular--Nick's beautiful, inscrutable
cousin Daisy Buchanan, who lives right across the bay. A sharp
satire of the Jazz Age and the American Dream, and one of the
twentieth century's greatest novels, The Great Gatsby is the
defining work of F. Scott Fitzgerald's career.

Is it possible to be a confident twenty-first century woman and
submit to your lover? From Justine Elyot, the bestselling author of
'On Demand' and 'Kinky', 'Confessions of a Kinky Wife' is the
perfect read for anyone who loves Sylvia Day's Crossfire trilogy or
'The Secret Diary of a Submissive'. It's difficult, as a modern
woman, to admit that you want your lover to punish you. Not just a
fun spanking in the bedroom - real punishment. Philippa knows what
she wants. She wants her police officer husband to take her in
hand. But how do you ask your lover to hurt you? And, if they're
willing, how do you make sure that being taken in hand doesn't get
out of hand? Philippa and Dan explore the secret world of Domestic
Discipline. Perhaps it will suit them, perhaps it won't. But they
mean to find out, one way or the other.
Erotic love is the most powerful force in the world. 'Seduce Me
Tonight' explores seduction from lust to long term love, from
playful and teasing to dark and edgy. A short story collection
perfect for anyone seduced by the 'Fifty Shades' trilogy or Sylvia
Day's 'Crossfire' series. "Seduce me." A plea? A command? A need
for connection that goes beyond the physical? These are stories of
seduction. The anticipation, the tease, the buildup ... the promise
of what comes next. That moment where your breath catches in your
throat and your pulse quickens. The long look across a crowded
coffee shop, the brush of fingers against the inside of your wrist.
The dirty text message while you're in a meeting, the quick flash
of bare skin still damp from the shower. Whether its lust at first
sight or a long-held desire, 'Seduce Me Tonight' is the ultimate
rush.
Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom.
The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she's an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.
Honestly, it's a pretty sweet gig - until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favourite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor's career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he's the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job.
Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but... those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she's with him? Will falling into an experimentalist's orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?
Moving, passionate, and unforgettable, this novel from #1 New York
Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover follows two young adults
from completely different backgrounds embarking on a tentative
romance, unaware of what the future holds. After a childhood filled
with poverty and neglect, Beyah Grim finally has her hard-earned
ticket out of Kentucky with a full ride to Penn State. But two
months before she's finally free to change her life for the better,
an unexpected death leaves her homeless and forced to spend the
remainder of her summer in Texas with a father she barely knows.
Devastated and anxious for the summer to go by quickly, Beyah has
no time or patience for Samson, the wealthy, brooding guy next
door. Yet, the connection between them is too intense to ignore.
But with their upcoming futures sending them to opposite ends of
the country, the two decide to maintain only a casual summer fling.
Too bad neither has any idea that a rip current is about to drag
both their hearts out to sea.
The sexy and deeply romantic internationally bestselling novel that inspired the blockbuster Netflix movie.
Laura Biel and her boyfriend are on a dream vacation in beautiful Sicily. On the second day of their trip, her twenty-ninth birthday, she is kidnapped. Her kidnapper is none other than the head of a powerful Sicilian crime family, the incredibly handsome, young Don Massimo Torricelli, who is determined to possess her at all costs. Massimo has his reasons. During an earlier attempt on his life, a vision appeared before his eyes: a beautiful woman, identical to Laura. After surviving the attack, he vows that he will find the woman in his vision and make her his own. No matter what.
For 365 days, Massimo will keep Laura captive in his palatial estate and attempt to win her heart. If she doesn’t fall in love with him during this time, he will let her go. But if she tries to escape at any point, he will track her down and kill her entire family.
Soon Laura develops a fascination with her handsome and powerful captor. But as a precarious, risky relationship forms between them, forces outside their control threaten to tear them apart...
