A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.
Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast - again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold an historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange - again . . .
Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It's clear from the way he tracks Misery's every movement that he doesn't trust her. If only he knew how right he was . . .
Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what's hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory . . . alone with the wolf.
'Vivid, memorable and beautifully crafted' - Sarah Moss, author of
Summerwater 'A brilliant collection, from a remarkable talent' -
Joseph O'Connor, author of Shadowplay Hearts and Bones is a book
about relationships. It explores what love does to us, and how we
survive it. A young woman learns to wield her power, leaving
casualties in her wake, while a man from a small town finds solace
in a strange new hobby. A watchful child feels a breaking point
approach as her mother struggles to keep her life on track, and
another daughter steps onto a stage while her family in the
audience hope that she is strong enough now to take on the world.
First-time lovers make mistakes, brothers and sisters try to
forgive one another, and parents struggle and fail and struggle
again. Teenage souls are swayed by euphoric faith in a higher power
and then by devotion to desire, trapped between different notions
of what might be true. Quiet revolutions happen in living rooms, on
river banks, in packed pubs and empty churches, and years later we
wonder why we ever did the things we did. Set between Ireland and
London in the first two decades of this millennium, the stories in
Hearts and Bones, Niamh Mulvey's debut collection, look at the
changes that have torn through these times and ask who we are now
that we've brought the old gods down. Witty, sharply observed and
deeply moving, these ten stories announce an extraordinary new
Irish literary talent. 'Astute, surprising and wholly entertaining'
- Irish Independent 'Showcases Mulvey's strenths as a writer: the
strangeness, the originality, the perfect pacing . . . highly
accomplished' - Irish Times 'Honest, daringly fresh and stunningly
written, these stories cut right to the very essence of what it
means to be young' - Jan Carson, author of The Raptures
Welcome to the St. Cecelia, a landmark hotel on the coast of Georgia,
where traditions run deep and scandals run even deeper. . . .
Everyone refers to the St. Cecelia as “the Saint.” If you grew up
coming here, you were “a Saint.” If you came from the wrong side of the
river, you were “an Ain’t.” Traci Eddings was one of those outsiders
whose family wasn’t rich enough or connected enough to vacation here.
But she could work here. One fateful summer she did, and married the
boss’s son. Now, she’s the widowed owner of the hotel, determined to
see it return to its glory days, even as staff shortages and financial
troubles threaten to ruin it. Plus, her greedy and unscrupulous
brother-in-law wants to make sure she fails. Enlisting a motley crew of
recently hired summer help—including the daughter of her estranged best
friend—Traci has one summer season to turn it around. But new
information about a long-ago drowning at the hotel threatens to come to
light, and the tragic death of one of their own brings Traci to the
brink of despair.
Traci Eddings has her back against the pink-painted wall of this
beloved institution. And it will take all the wits and guts she has to
see wrongs put to right, to see guilty parties put in their place, and
maybe even to find a new romance along the way. Told with Mary Kay
Andrew’s warmth, humor, knack for twists, and eye for delicious detail
about human nature, Summers at the Saint is a beach read with depth and
heart.
In the game of second chances, can they follow the rules?
When Ellis Ainsley runs into her ex, Liam Ruinsky, ten years after they split, she remembers why she fell for him all those years ago. A tall, strong, charming ice hockey player - he really was a dream man. But their lifestyles are now worlds apart, and surely wouldn't work in reality. But the temptation is too much, and they agree to one last night together.
They thought nothing could go wrong. That was, until Ellis saw the positive result on the pregnancy test.
Already a chronically ill woman struggling to juggle her health and career, Ellis needs to figure out how to tell her NHL-playing ex-boyfriend he is going to be a dad. And despite their decision to coparent, their chemistry is still undeniable.
With turbulent families, over-bearing coaches, and the media wanting a slice of Liam's life: will he be able to step up? Most of all: will they risk falling in love for a second time?
Forgiveness is about letting go, not forgetting what was done to
you. Are you ready to let go or are you a prisoner within? Amy
thought she had a protective shield; her older brother Josh and her
beloved Mum to protect her from her Dad's drunken rages. One
never-to-be-forgotten night Amy loses them all... Can she ever
trust again? Prisoner Within is a tale of learning to love again
and forgiveness from award winning author Jenny Ford.
