#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back in Napa Valley with this hilarious rom-com about a down-on-her-luck heiress who suggests a mutually beneficial marriage of convenience to a man she can't stand... only to discover there's a fine line between love and hate.
After losing her job and her fiance in one fell swoop, Natalie Vos returned home to lick her wounds. A few months later, she's sufficiently drowned her sorrows in cabernet and she's ready to get back on her feet. She just needs her trust fund to finance her new business venture. Unfortunately, the terms require she marry before she can have the money. And well, dumped, remember? But Natalie is desperate enough to propose to a man who makes her want to kill him-and kiss him, in equal measure.
August Cates may own a vineyard, but he doesn't know jack about making wine. He's determined to do his late best friend proud, no matter what it takes. Except his tasting room is empty, his wine is disgusting (seriously, he once saw someone gag), and his buddy's legacy is circling the drain. No bank will give him the loan he needs to turn the business around... and then the gorgeous, feisty heiress knocks on his door.
Natalie has haunted August's dreams since the moment they met, but their sizzling chemistry immediately morphed into simmering insults. Now, a quickie marriage could help them both. A sham wedding, a few weeks living under the same roof, and then they can go their separate ways-assuming they make it out alive. How hard could it be?
There's just one thing they didn't account for: their unfortunate, unbearable, undeniable attraction.
Pre Order 'For You and You Only' the next suspense-filled book in
the 'You' series. 'The latest in the thriller series behind Netflix
stalker blockbuster You' GUARDIAN 'Crazy, sexy, cool: Caroline
Kepnes gets better - and Joe Goldberg gets worse - with every book'
ERIN KELLY 'Caroline Kepnes writes with such malevolent energy,
such dark grace and such ink-black humour. An utterly unique
character and an utterly unique writer, in a marriage made
somewhere between heaven and hell' RICHARD OSMAN 'Fiendish,
fast-paced, and very funny' PAULA HAWKINS 'Another dark, thrilling,
and blackly hilarious adventure from everyone's favourite murderer'
CLAIRE MCGOWAN 'I absolutely loved it. It's completely addictive,
razor-sharp writing from Kepnes. Internet creeping at its most
darkly humorous. Joe's back, and this time it's definitely real
love' CATHERINE STEADMAN 'Caroline Kepnes must be some kind of
storytelling sorcerer. How else can Joe Goldberg - stalker, creep,
multiple-murderer, blamer of everyone else but himself, a "long
overdue book, the one you never thought was coming" - be such an
entertaining narrator? Even Tom Ripley, Patricia Highsmith's
famously amoral character (a clear inspiration for Kepnes), could
be enjoyed at a third-person remove, unlike the in-your-face
immediacy of Joe's blinkered perspective . . . brilliant' New York
Times The highly anticipated new thriller in Caroline Kepnes's hit
YOU series, now a blockbuster Netflix show.Joe Goldberg is back.
And he's going to start a family - even if it kills him . . . Joe
Goldberg is done with cities, done with the muck and the posers,
done with Love. Now, he's saying hello to nature, to simple
pleasures on a cosy island in the Pacific Northwest. For the first
time in a long time, he can just breathe. He gets a job at the
local library - he does know a thing or two about books - and
that's where he meets her: Mary Kay DiMarco. Librarian. Joe won't
meddle, he will not obsess. He'll win her the old fashioned way . .
. by providing a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand. Over time,
they'll both heal their wounds and begin their happily ever after
in this sleepy town. The trouble is . . . Mary Kay already has a
life. She's a mother. She's a friend. She's . . . busy. True love
can only triumph if both people are willing to make room for the
real thing. Joe cleared his decks. He's ready. And hopefully, with
his encouragement and undying support, Mary Kay will do the right
thing and make room for him.
Lisette Posthimus, talentvolle balletdanseres, is gewoond aan koerantopskrifte waarin haar talent besing word. Die euforie word wreed onderbreek wanneer sy die rol waarin sy 'n pas de deux saam met 'n wêreldberoemde balletdanser sou dans, met 'n onderduimse gekonkel verloor. Dan moet die dansteater sy deure sluit weens die negatiewe nadraai wat die Covid-pandemie op die kultuurwêreld het.
Drie jaar se verblyf in Londen moet sy uit eindelik in 'n enkele tas pak. Op die nippertjie kry sy 'n tydelike pos as aupair in Spanje by 'n Suid-Afrikaanse familie. Hier loop sy haar vas in 'n uiters aantreklike man met 'n verlede wat by hom spook , sy niggie wat aan 'n persoonlikheidsteuring ly, en sy sjarmante neef. Lisette word gekonfronteer met haar eie onvermoëns en geneigdheid om eerder te vlug as om te veg.
In 'n omgewing waar vurige flamenco-musiek en -danse in die sigeuners se bloed ingebore word, dans ook sy uiteindelik die tango: Die dans van die liefde.
Never trust an assassin. Celaena's story continues in this second
book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.
Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King's
Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes
to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes
more difficult when she realises she is not the only one seeking
justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and
no one is safe from suspicion - not the Crown Prince Dorian; not
Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia,
a princess with a rebel heart. Then, one terrible night, the
secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy.
As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and
for all where her true loyalties lie ... and what she is willing to
fight for. The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling
Throne of Glass series returns readers to a land destroyed by
liars, where one woman's truth is the only thing that can save them
all.
