No masters. No limits. No regrets. Aelin Galathynius takes her
place as queen in the fourth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of
Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. Celaena Sardothien has embraced her
identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she
can reclaim her throne, she must fight. She will fight for her
cousin, a warrior prepared to die for her. She will fight for her
friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will
fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their
lost queen's triumphant return. Everyone Aelin loves has been taken
from her. Everything she holds dear is in danger. But she has the
heart of a queen - and that heart beats for vengeance. In this
fourth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass
series, no one will escape the queen's wrath.
1875. When Kathryn Walsh arrives in tiny Calvada, a mining town nestled
in the Sierra Nevadas, falling in love is the farthest thing from her
mind. Banished from Boston by her wealthy stepfather, she has come to
claim an inheritance from the uncle she never knew: a defunct newspaper
office on a main street overflowing with brothels and saloons, and a
seemingly worthless mine. Moved by the oppression of the local miners
and their families, Kathryn decides to relaunch her uncle’s
newspaper―and then finds herself in the middle of a maelstrom, pitted
against Calvada’s most powerful men. But Kathryn intends to continue to
say―and publish―whatever she pleases, especially when she knows she’s
right.
Matthias Beck, owner of a local saloon and hotel, has a special
interest in the new lady in town. He instantly recognizes C. T. Walsh’s
same tenacity in the beautiful and outspoken redhead―and knows all too
well how dangerous that family trait can be. While Kathryn may be right
about Calvada’s problems, her righteousness could also get her killed.
But when the handsome hotelier keeps finding himself on the same side
of the issues as the opinionated Miss Walsh, Matthias’s restless search
for purpose becomes all about answering the call of his heart.
Everyone may be looking to strike it rich in this lawless boomtown, but
it’s a love more precious than gold that will ultimately save them all.
Originally released in 2020, this is a steamy strangers-to-friends-to-lovers romance from Ana Huang, the New York Times bestselling author of the Kings of Sin and Twisted series.
One year, two opposites, and a love that will blindside and, ultimately, shatter them. She's an aspiring interior designer who dreams of falling in love. He's an ex-football star who thinks love is a con. She's a virgin, and he doesn't do virgins. He's cocky, infuriating, and not her type. She wants the fairytale. He wants freedom.
Blake and Farrah shouldn't have fallen for each other the way they did: totally, completely, and irrevocably.
Because they're studying abroad in Shanghai, and they only have one year. Because forces at home threaten to rip them apart, even if they don't know it yet. And because, eventually, they must face the most heart-breaking lesson they'll ever learn: sometimes, even the greatest love can't conquer all . . .
On the other side of town are five brothers. . .
Macon is the oldest. I've never seen him smile.
Army is a single dad with beautiful green eyes.
Iron will be in prison soon.
Dallas is the one I hate.
Trace used to be mine.
I need to go home. Away from the swamps and these men. I’ll leave
tomorrow. Tonight I'll crash on the couch tonight.
Everyone is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying. I let him wrap
his arms around my body and hold me.
I don’t think it was Trace.
Which means it was another brother.
I don’t know who, but I can’t help but want him to hold me again. . .
My patient is stalking me… and he’s a psychopath.
I’ve dedicated my life to understanding the darkest corners of the
human psyche, but nothing prepares me for him. Ghost. The man is a
brilliant, ruthless serial killer who thrives on chaos. Just like his
cult following enrapt by his brutality and beauty, he’s completely
unhinged. And he’s obsessed with me.
So when Ghost turns himself in and demands to speak to me, I’m forced
to confront the beautiful monster sitting across the glass. And the one
inside—the one lurking in my own fractured soul. Ghost's rapt attention
brings goosebumps to my skin and sends chills down my spine. I choose
to believe my reaction is based in fear. When I'm alone in bed, it's
harder to convince myself.
As boundaries fade and the line between doctor and patient blurs, Ghost
proves to know more about me than possible. Soon, I’m faced with a
question: What am I willing to pay to unveil the truth about my haunted
past? Because to Ghost, the price is me. All of me.
Connie has always distrusted nice guys. In her experience, they’re just waiting to reveal some horrible secret. And then she meets big, adorable, Henry Samuel Beckett―editor extraordinaire, lover of bow ties, sweet and so cheery she struggles to believe he’s real.
Until Henry Samuel Beckett―or Beck, as he’s known to most―tells her the secret underneath his sunny surface: He’s been single all his life. But in a moment of panic, he’s told everyone at his publishing house that he’s married. And when Connie, an aspiring writer herself, can’t help defending him, she ends up being the fake wife he doesn’t actually have.
When they head off on a writing retreat, surrounded by people convinced this must be a ruse, both of them can't help but agree. Until they share their first kiss, their first touch, their first time in only one bed. Side by side, every night, as the simmering tension builds…Connie starts to wonder if this might be real after all.
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.
She’s meant to be catching flights, not catching feelings…
Molly and Andrew are just trying to get home to Ireland for the
holidays, when a freak snowstorm grounds their flight.
Nothing romantic has ever happened between them: they’re friends and
that’s all. But once a year, for the last ten years, Molly has spent
seven hours and fifteen minutes sitting next to Andrew on the last
flight before Christmas from Chicago to Dublin, drinking terrible
airplane wine and catching up on each other’s lives. In spite of all
the ways the two friends are different, it’s the holiday tradition
neither of them has ever wanted to give up.
Molly isn’t that bothered by Christmas, but—in yet another way they’re
total opposites—Andrew is a full-on fanatic for the festive season and
she knows how much getting back to Ireland means to him. So, instead of
doing the sane thing and just celebrating the holidays together in
America, she does the stupid thing. The irrational thing. She vows to
get him home. And in time for his mam’s famous Christmas dinner.
The clock is ticking. But Molly always has a plan. And—as long as the
highly-specific combination of taxis, planes, boats, and trains all run
on time—it can’t possibly go wrong.
What she doesn’t know is that, as the snow falls over the city and over
the heads of two friends who are sure they’re not meant to be together,
the universe might just have a plan of its own…
Zoe, Al, Rachel, Rob, Yas and Indie. Six friends who were inseparable
at university, who have all had their secret or not so secret passions
for each other, their hopes and fears.
Over the years, they have gone their separate ways. Rob is a history
teacher, with a string of broken relationships behind him. Yas is a
surgeon and very much her own woman. Indie is married and a successful
coffee entrepreneur. Rachel is a stay at home mum with two children.
Al, widowed young, is about to take over his father's funeral business.
When Rob's engagement party throws the gang together once more, some
passions are reignited, old connections and resentments resurface. Over
the next twelve months, there will, among the friends, be a birth, a
marriage, and a death – but whose?
BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES is an era-spanning, globe-trotting novel
about love, friendship, and how to stay at least relatively sane in an
ever crazier world. It’s about a group of friends growing older, the
possibility of second chances, about kindness and joy. It’s about
births, deaths, marriages... and everything in between.
A swoon-worthy romance, perfect for anyone in their yeehaw era' - Lucy Jane Wood, author of Rewitched Welcome to The Diamond Back Ranch: where the cowboys are hot, the drama is real, and city girls like Lottie Wright are in way over their heads. Lottie has spent her whole life chasing success – or at least what it’s supposed to look like. The perfect corporate job. The perfect banker boyfriend. The perfect life in London. But when she’s suddenly fired and catches her boyfriend cheating, she does what any totally rational person would do . . . and gets on a plane to her family’s ranch in Wyoming. Cole Miller is a rugged ex-rodeo star and absolutely not interested in a city girl playing cowgirl on the Diamond Back ranch – even if they did end up in a steamy tangle on her arrival in Jackson Hole. But as Lottie trades designer suits for cowboy boots, she starts to realize she might be a little more country than she thought. And when a rival ranch threatens everything, she’s not about to let them win, especially when it means proving to Cole – and herself – that she’s got what it takes to earn her place.
'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
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.
