The perfect summer rom-com to escape with! When two ex-bandmates
reunite to perform on a cruise ship, sparks fly!
Micah’s relationship to music is… complicated. Her band took off after
being featured on a teen TV show, but the group broke up in no small
part thanks to Micah’s ex, the band’s guitarist. Having spent years of
trying to make it solo, Micah is offered an opportunity to reunite with
the band on a cruise and she reluctantly says yes, even though she’ll
have to face the ghosts of her past.
John has been in love with Micah since they were kids making music
together, but never said anything for the sake of the band, her old
relationship, and to preserve their friendship. A life away from music
has made him miss the way his heart sang with hers, so he boards the
cruise too.
Onboard, Micah can’t help but see John with new eyes, and John’s
feelings only intensify. As the discordant band’s tension grows to a
breaking point and they’ll have to decide if their relationship is more
than a one-hit wonder.
If Kelly was surprised when she managed to secure the job acting as
companion and secretary to a Professor who was returning to England
after suffering an accident, she was even more surprised when she
met Stefan Rincon. Surprised that was at herself for actually
falling for the man! But then life does not always proceed without
its complications. One of these was the fact that she herself was
being used by others to glean scientific information from the
Professor and yet another came in the fact that once back in
England and seeking a future in the theatre she was to find herself
at the centre of foreign intervention. Even so perhaps the thoughts
she had of Marie Sanchez having already formed a relationship with
the Professor were to be proved wrong when it was this person who
eventually came to her rescue. But Stefan himself still remained an
enigma and a happy ending seemed to be quite impossible!
Travelling to Norway for the wedding of her friend, Sonja was
ill-prepared for the advent of the silent one or indeed what was
consequently to happen, but then Lars Bjork-birch was a completely
different character to others she had met. But then Sonja herself
had a secret, a child who was fast reaching his maturity and one
who regarded his mother only as a money making machine even when
she found herself as a guest of Soviet Russia. Yet Lars himself
also held a secret close to his heart. What that was Sonja had
eventually to find out!

Could it be that our fate is decided for us by some mysterious
higher power? For example, is there a special someone...a soul
mate...made for each and every one of us? Seems like a silly and,
not to mention, unfair idea...but what if it were true...and worse
still what if we did not recognise our soul mate when the time came
for us to meet? Suppose it were true, but that either through our
fault, or due to some other circumstance beyond our control we lost
our chance with that one perfect match, would it upset the balance
of destiny in some way? Imagine for a moment that it was the
truth...would the higher power try to put it right, even though
death and time had intervened to prevent, seemingly forever, that
which was supposed to be. Intrigue, passion, humour, violence, sex,
murder and even a ghostly spectre are the hallmarks of this
pleasant and gripping tale.
A son who was keeping alpacas in sheep rearing country was enough
to despair any man which was probably one of the reasons why Joe
Addle persuaded his son Gary to attend that meeting in order to
better himself! Still when Gary was elected to serve on the Pink
Rose Party against the local school mistress Joe may have been
rather surprised but he was even more so when he found out that the
two of them were in cahoots planning that Viking Seaway. By this
time however other bodies had entered into the fray such as Andrew
Masterson and his father in law, an old union official and perhaps
even more significantly the figure of Walter Grimsdale who was
nothing if not determined to put an end to this fiasco which had
its roots in the history books. Thus in the face of such opposition
was it possible that true love would survive and if so at what
cost?
The bestselling modern classic, Milan Kundera’s iconic novel of love and politics in communist Czechoslovakia.
A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon; a man torn between his love for her and his womanising. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals; while her other lover stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by choices and events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance and weight – and we feel ‘the unbearable lightness of being’.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being encompasses passion and philosophy, infidelity and ideas, the Prague Spring and modern America, political acts and private desires, comedy and tragedy – in fact, all of human existence.
Love is a war in which only the fearless may conquer. The loss of
love is a test in survival. Love. It's such an understated word. It
has the ability to grip you so hard you become completely consumed
by it, and when it releases you, you find yourself on your knees.
Lilly Parker has me on my knees and I cannot muster the will to
stand. Betrayal. It's all worse when it comes from those we love.
The pain, that much more intense. The loss, that much more heart
breaking. I took a chance on Theodore Ellis and I lost. How hard is
Theo willing to fight for the woman he loves? Can Lilly fight her
demons, or will she push away the only man capable of facing them
with her? Conquered is the emotional, gritty second part of Lilly
and Theo's story.
Chicago, sometime. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change. Everything else, however, is slightly different.
Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes.
Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken.

From beloved, RITA-award-winning author Kennedy Ryan comes the gripping, passionate finale of the All the King's Men duology.
Though surrender is what Maxim Cade demanded of Lennix Hunter's body and heart, she had other plans. They were fast-burning fascination and combustible chemistry, the son of an oil baron and the Apache daughter at war with his family, but she trusted him, and he turned out to be a thief who stole her love.
Still, if what they had was a lie, why had it felt so real?
Now, the man she swore to hate is about to have it all, and he wants Lennix at his side. But when the two of them are forced to face the unthinkable, their rocky foundation is tested, as is the invisible thread that seems to wind their fates together. As they navigate a treacherous political landscape in their quest for justice, Maxim and Lennix soon learn that power is a game, and they are merely the pawns and players. Facing insurmountable odds, will they win the world, or will they lose it all?
"He was my savior. My monster. My obsession. My destruction."
*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Ariadne and her Minotaur.*
Ariadne Vitalis is in trouble. She's betrayed her father—and his
dangerous benefactor—and now she's left to rely on Olympus'
questionable mercy. But in this city, mercy comes with a price. For
Ariadne, that means a sham marriage to Dionysus. She has no choice but
to agree, even if there's only one man she's ever wanted—a man she
fears just as much as she desires.
The Minotaur never had any illusions about Minos's plans. He was
willing to get his hands dirty as long as the old man kept his word—at
the end of their bloody work, the Minotaur would be given Ariadne as a
reward. She's meant for him, and he intends to have her, no matter the
cost.
Ariadne knows better than to encourage the Minotaur—she's all too aware
of how hot a passion like theirs can burn. Besides, she can never
forgive him for the terrible things he's done, and he can never change.
But when his hands are on her body and his wicked words are whispered
in her ear, she might just be willing to let all of Olympus burn…
To any outsider it was a case of boy meets girl on that boat which
crossed the Baltic, but then Joseph Heiman was on a mission and
Olga Larson was shortly to find herself arrested by the Russian
Authorities. Yet although their separation suggested that others
would enter their lives and assume some degree of importance; and
despite the spectre of that large Russian female who appeared to be
constantly present, this was a story that was finally played out in
the Orkney Islands where a tenet of suspicion haunted both of their
lives! The question was not only who would Olga now choose but also
how the Commander's wife, a person whom Joseph had met when on a
training exercise now fitted into this equation, and what of the
Commander himself, a man whom Joseph had once believed to be stern
and relentless but who now showed additional characteristics?
After the death of her parents, young Andrina Maldon has selflessly
borne the responsibility not only for the running a household
impoverished by her father's profligacy but also for the future
happiness of her two sisters. Strikingly beautiful as they are,
there is no hope of their finding a suitable suitor without someone
to introduce them to the Social world. So she travels unchaperoned
to London to seek the assistance of the Duke of Broxbourne, her
father's friend and the Godfather she has never met. On the
stagecoach journey Andrina has a frightening encounter with a
gentleman at a Posting inn - and on arrival at Broxbourne House she
is appalled to find that this man is none other than the Duke of
Broxbourne himself. At first unwilling to help her, the Duke
grudgingly agrees to her requests and although grateful, Andrina
despises this arrogant and insensitive man - until, little by
little, his true nature is revealed and a very different emotion
begins to stir in her heart.

Home of Penitence as punishment for the 'sins' of her wayward
mother. Reluctantly his Lordship agrees to escort Baptista to Paris
in search of her mother and soon she is caught up in his perilous
adventures on a thrilling journey whose final destination is love.
