A brand new steamy billionaire romance from the bestselling author of the Twisted series.
She's the wife he never wanted . . . and the weakness he never saw coming.
Ruthless. Meticulous. Arrogant. Dante Russo thrives on control, both personally and professionally. The billionaire CEO never planned to marry - until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows: Vivian Lau, jewellery heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. It doesn't matter how beautiful or charming she is. He'll do everything in his power to destroy the evidence and their betrothal.
There's only one problem: now that he has her . . . he can't bring himself to let her go.
Elegant. Ambitious. Well-mannered. Vivian Lau is the perfect daughter and her family's ticket into the highest echelons of high society. Marrying a blue-blooded Russo means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her new-money family. While the rude, elusive Dante isn't her idea of a dream partner, she agrees to their arranged marriage out of duty. Craving his touch was never part of the plan. Neither was the worst thing she could possibly do: fall in love with her future husband.

From BookTok sensation Emily McIntire comes a dark and delicious
fractured fairy tale in her fan-favorite Never After series.
She doesn’t belong to him…she belongs to the crown.
Prince Tristan Faasa was never destined for the throne. That was always
his brother, Michael. The same brother responsible for both Tristan’s
tormented childhood and the scar that mars his face. When their father
dies, Michael is set to assume the throne, and Tristan is set to steal
it. The leader of a secret rebellion, Tristan will stop at nothing to
end his brother’s reign. But when Michael’s new betrothed, Lady Sara
Beatreaux arrives, Tristan finds himself in the middle of a new kind of
war. The kind that begs the question of what’s more important, the
crown or the woman about to wear it.
Sara has one plan. Marry the King and eradicate the Faasa line, even at
the risk of her own peril. But she never expects the Scarred Prince.
He’s dangerous. Forbidden. And one of the men she’s been sent to kill.
But the line between hatred and passion has never seemed so thin, and
as secrets come to light, Sara grows unsure of whom she can trust—torn
between vengeance and the villain she was never supposed to love.
In die opvolg op Debora en seuns is die fokus weer die lief en leed
van die Schlagerfeldts. Dis nou die 1960’s, en die hoofkarakter is
Debora se kleindogter, ook ’n Debora. Die 27-jarige dokter kom

Maar dan ontmoet sy dr Tristan Murray en al haar voorgenome drome

vind dat die pad van verlore liefde na geluk deur gevaar en
hartseer lei.

When the world ends, can love survive?
For Scarlet, raising her two daughters alone means fighting for
tomorrow is an everyday battle. Nathan has a wife, but can't
remember what it's like to be in love; only his young daughter Zoe
makes coming home worthwhile. Miranda's biggest concern is whether
her new VW Bug is big enough to carry her sister and their
boyfriends on a weekend escape from college finals.
When reports of a widespread, deadly "outbreak" begin to surface,
these ordinary people face extraordinary circumstances and suddenly
their fates are intertwined. Recognizing they can't outrun the
danger, Scarlet, Nathan, and Miranda desperately seek shelter at
the same secluded ranch, Red Hill. Emotions run high while old and
new relationships are tested in the face of a terrifying enemy--an
enemy who no longer remembers what it's like to be human.
Set against the backdrop of a brilliantly realized apocalyptic
world, love somehow finds a way to survive. But what happens when
the one you'd die for becomes the one who could destroy you?
"Red Hill" grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go until
its stunning conclusion. This is #1 "New York Times" bestselling
author Jamie McGuire at her unforgettable best.
Sometimes legends don't tell the whole story. After the sudden death of her boyfriend, Vera would have been happy to spend her life completely unnoticeable, washing bedsheets and cleaning toilets in a Glastonbury hotel. But everything changes when a strange new guest reveals himself to be Merlin and drags her back to seventh century Camelot, a place she knows only from legends. He tells her that only Vera (or Queen Guinevere, as Merlin calls her) can right the course of history and save Arthur' s kingdom from the will of a power-hungry mage. There' s one enormous problem: Guinevere was the sole witness to the curse that's now draining the kingdom of its magic, and Vera doesn't remember anything from that life. And with Camelot' s peace ebbing ever closer to shattering, she's running out of time. Working with Merlin' s magic to retrieve her long-lost memories brings more questions than answers: why is it that King Arthur, who treats his subjects with such benevolence, can' t even stand to look at her? And why does that make Vera' s soul feel like it' s splitting in two? What robbed her of her memories in the first place . . . and, most importantly, why? As Vera is about to discover, in a world of legend and power, the secrets of her memories are only the beginning . . .
GATSBY GIRLS She was an impulsive, fashionable and carefree 1920s
woman who embodied the essence of the Gatsby Girl -- F. Scott
Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda. As Fitzgerald said, "I married the
heroine of my stories." All of the eight short stories contained in
this collection were inspired by Zelda. Fitzgerald, one of the
foremost writers of American fiction, found early success as a
short story writer for the most widely read magazine of the early
20th century -- the Saturday Evening Post. Fitzgerald's stories,
first published by the Post between 1920 and 1922, brought the Jazz
Age and the "flapper" to life and confirmed that America was
changing faster than ever before. Women were bobbing their hair,
drinking and flirting shamelessly, and Fitzgerald brought these
exciting Gatsby Girls to life in the pages of the Post. A foreword
by Jeff Nilsson, archivist for the Post, adds historical context to
this wonderful, new collection, which is highlighted by an
introduction written by Fitzgerald himself. Each story is
accompanied by the original illustrations and the beautiful cover
images from the Post. Read the stories that made F. Scott
Fitzgerald one of the most beloved writers in America -- and around
the world -- still today.

'I LOVE it . . . I can't remember the last time I read a book that was
so fun' DOLLY ALDERTON
They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not
fade away.
But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.
There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter
and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to
superstardom.
There was Camila, the frontman’s wife, too strong-willed to let the
band implode – and all too aware of the electric connection between her
husband and Daisy.
There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman
in a world that wasn’t ready for her.
And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne
brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer
binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a
hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from
each other, ready to go up in flames.
It’s never just about the music…

"Which one of you bitches is my mother?"
Four elegant, successful, and sophisticated women in their forties
are called to New York's Pierre Hotel to meet Lili -- a beautiful,
young, and notoriously temperamental Hollywood movie star. None of
the women knows exactly why she is there; each has a reason to hate
Lili and each of them is astonished to see the others. They are old
friends who share a guilty secret and who have for years been doing
their best to keep that secret quiet. Their lives are changed
forever, however, when Lili suddenly confronts them. When the women
refuse to answer her, Lili proceeds to travel around the world
through the playgrounds of the rich and famous, seeking to answer
the question that has obsessed and almost destroyed her.
From Paris to London, from the boardroom to the bedroom, "Lace"
takes the reader into the rarified world of five unforgettable
women who are as beautiful, as complex and as strong as...lace.
