Bastian, the only heir to the Goedleven farm, suffers from a rare condition that allows him to remember everything that has ever happened to him.

Reis saam na eerste-eeuse Rome en ontdek hoekom hierdie klassieke reeks
miljoene lesers oor die wêreld heen geïnspireer het. Die drie boeke in
die Merk van die Leeu-reeks word as ’n spesiale geskenkstel aangebied.
’n Stem in die wind is die eerste boek in die reeks. Dit vertel die
verhaal van Hadassa, ’n jong Joodse meisie wat as slaaf weggevoer is,
maar steeds vashou aan haar geloof in God. Al voel sy verskeur deur
haar liefde vir ’n aantreklike jong edelman, word Hadassa ’n baken van
hoop en lig te midde van die duisternis en verval rondom haar.
’n Eggo in die duisternis vertel die verhaal van Markus, ’n welgestelde
Romeinse edelman. Diep geraak deur Hadassa se opregte geloof, begin hy
wonder of daar nie méér in die lewe is nie. In sy soeke na betekenis en
geloof, word hy gelei deur ’n sagte fluistering uit die verlede wat hom
kan bevry van die duisternis in sy siel.
Die trilogie sluit af met So seker as wat die dag breek. Dit vertel die
verhaal van Atretes, ’n Germaanse stamleier wat sy vryheid as gladiator
verdien het. Atretes wil saam met sy babaseun teruggaan na Germanië,
maar wat van Rispa, die gelowige weduwee wat sedert sy geboorte vir die
seun gesorg het?
He broke her heart once before. Can she risk him doing it again?
Five seconds of honesty: Wells Canyon is the last place Blair Hart
wants to be.
But her mother's illness leaves her no choice except to return to the
hometown-and the traumatic past-she's spent thirteen years hiding from.
A run-in with the boy who tore her life to pieces is inevitable in a
town like Wells Canyon, but that doesn't mean she's prepared for the
way Denver Wells can turn back time with a single smile.
Thirteen years ago Denver's world crashed around him. Since then, he's
done everything he can to outrun his demons, until a flash of brown
hair knocks him from his saddle. But if he wants her back, he'll need
to prove he can be the man Blair needs-the same one she used to love.
With a thousand sticky notes worth of responsibilities, Blair doesn't
have the time to sift through their messy history and resolve things
with the man who's determined to be in her life. And Denver's going to
need more than cowboy charm and five seconds of honesty to convince
Blair he's worth a change of heart.
1875. Wanneer Kathryn Walsh in die myndorp Calvada aankom, is liefde
die laaste ding waaraan sy dink. Haar welgestelde stiefpa het haar
weggestuur uit Boston om ’n erflating te kom opeis van ’n oom wat sy
nooit geken het nie: ’n klein koerantkantoortjie in die hoofstraat van
’n dorpie vol bordele en kroeë, en ’n skynbaar waardelose myn.
Kathryn besluit om haar oom se koerant weer op die been te bring en
bevind haar kort voor lank midde-in ’n storm tussen twee van Calvada se
magtigste mans. Kathryn is egter vasbeslote om aan te hou sê – en skryf
– waarin sy glo.
Matthias Beck, kroeg- en hotel-eienaar, sien onmiddellik dat die
beeldskone, uitgesproke rooikop net so vasberade soos haar oom is. En
hy weet haar strewe na geregtigheid kan ook háár dood veroorsaak ...
Die aantreklike hotel-eienaar en die eiesinnige juffrou Walsh sien dat
hulle tog vir dieselfde ding baklei: ’n dorp waarop hulle trots kan
wees. Almal wil graag ryk word in die myndorpie, maar dit is ’n liefde
baie kosbaarder as goud wat almal in die dorp uiteindelik sal red.
Coenraad de Buys was die gevaarlikste man in die Kolonie. Op
agtjarige ouderdom het hy sy eerste grens oorgesteek en sy ouerhuis
agtergelaat. Van die Langkloof swerf Buys – oftewel Khula, Koning
van die Basters, veelwywer - deur die onrustige landskap van die
laat sewentienhonderds. Hy bly anderkant die Vis by Xhosa-opperhoof
Ngqika, wat soos sy seun is. Hy bly by die Tamboekies; in die
republiek van Graaff-Reinet; op die trekpad. Oral trek hy saam met
en sonder Maria, Nombini, Elizabeth en ander vroue. Oral verwek hy
kinders; oral sluit ander rowers en weglopers by hom aan –’n ganske
Buysvolk. Hy sterf teen die oewer van die Limpopo. Maar Buys is nie
dood nie.
Cambridge professor Emily Wilde is good at many things: She is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world’s first encyclopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party—or even get invited to one. And she prefers the company of her books, her dog, Shadow, and the Fair Folk to other people.
So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hrafnsvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, muddle Emily’s research, and utterly confound and frustrate her.
But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones—the most elusive of all faeries—lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: Who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she’ll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all—her own heart.

Everybody thought Shiloh and Cary would end up together – everybody but
Shiloh and Cary.
Slow Dance follows these star-crossed best friends from their
inseparable teen years on the wrong side of the tracks to their
far-flung adulthoods – through her marriage and motherhood and his time
in the Navy – as they try to work out what they’re actually supposed to
be to each other.
Told with Rowell’s trademark sensitivity and abundant wit, Slow Dance
is a big, beaming power ballad of a novel about a love so true, it
refuses to be forgotten.
Their love was supposed to last forever. But when life delivered blow
after devastating blow, Yasmen and Josiah Wade found that love alone
couldn’t solve or save everything.
It couldn’t save their marriage.
Yasmen wasn’t prepared for how her life fell apart, but she’s is
finally starting to find joy again. She and Josiah have found a new
rhythm, co-parenting their two kids and running a thriving business
together. Yet like magnets, they’re always drawn back to each other,
and now they’re beginning to wonder if they’re truly ready to let go of
everything they once had.
Soon, one stolen kiss leads to another…and then more. It's hot. It's
illicit. It's all good—until old wounds reopen. Is it too late for them
to find forever? Or could they even be better, the second time around?
Their love story has gone viral. But it hasn't even begun . . .
Franny meets Hayes in the opposite of a meet-cute - when her dress
gets caught in the subway doors on her way home and then rips,
leaving her in the fashion equivalent of a hospital gown. Hayes is
the stuffy suit whose one redeeming quality is giving Franny his
jacket, saving her from showing her assets to half of New York.
Franny is eager to forget the whole horribly embarrassing encounter
as soon as possible, but neither of them anticipated a fellow
commuter live-blogging them as #subwaybaes - turning their awkward
run-in into click-bait and a manufactured love story for the ages .
. . Quick to dismiss Hayes as just another a rich guy, Franny is
sure she'll never see him again, and she's desperate to put her
three minutes of viral fame behind her. But fate isn't done with
the would-be subway sweethearts just yet . . . A love letter to
romance, friendship and the Big Apple, Kate Spencer's In a New York
Minute is a fresh, modern take on romantic comedy for fans of The
Flat Share, Our Stop and One Day in December. 'Spencer writes with
a wry lilt and a gift for dialogue. The novel is as much a
love-letter to New York City as any Nora Ephron screenplay, an ode
to sticky days in Central Park . . . and the serendipity that can
crash into you in a city that big and bustling.' - Entertainment

Noah
Maya Alatorre is the sister of my teammate…and my new obsession.
Keeping my distance during the Formula 1 season should be easy, except
I always find ways to see her.
Press tours. Pre-race rituals. Sponsor events and black-tie galas.
The more time we spend together, the stronger my desire grows.
Sneaking around with her is one thing, but wanting more?
Never going to happen.
She might be a distraction dressed like a daydream, but no woman is
worth risking the championship title over.
Or so I thought.
Maya
Noah Slade is Formula 1 royalty and my brother’s biggest rival.
When I’m invited to join my sibling while he competes for the World
Championship, I promise to avoid Noah at all costs.
Twenty-one races. Two drivers who hate each other. And one forbidden
attraction I can’t ignore.
Developing feelings for Noah wasn’t part of my plan.
But then again, neither was anyone finding out.
Turns out the man I was warned about happens to be the one I can’t stay
away from.
Even if he breaks my heart once the season comes to an end.

In this stunning conclusion to the bestselling Ravenous Fate duology, Elise and Layla confront their pasts, and find out whether there can be love after death.
