'In this vivid, affecting novel of intertwined destinies and the
enduring power of love against the bleakest odds, Levensohn weaves
a tale saturated with historical accuracy and yet surprisingly
intimate. A Jewish Girl in Paris delivers romance and intrigue to
spare, but the novel's real power lies in its portrayal of how
deeply and sometimes mysteriously we can find ourselves connected
to the past, and to each other.' - Paula Mc Lain, New York Times
bestselling author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark
Paris, 1940, a city under German occupation. A young Jewish girl,
Judith, meets a young man, the son of a wealthy banker and Nazi
sympathizer - his family will never approve of the girl he has
fallen in love with. As the Germans impose more and more
restrictions on Jewish Parisians, the couple secretly plan to flee
the country. But before they can make their escape, Judith
disappears . . . Montreal, 1982. Shortly before his death, Lica
Grunberg confesses to his daughter, that she has an older
half-sister, Judith. Lica escaped the Nazis but lost all contact
with his first-born daughter. His daughter promises to find the
sister she never knew. The search languishes for years, until
Jacobina is spurred on by her young friend Beatrice. Soon the two
women discover a dark family secret, stretching over two continents
and six decades, that will change their lives forever . . .
Inspired by true events and set against the backdrop of the Second
World War, Melanie Levensohn's A Jewish Girl in Paris is a powerful
novel about forbidden love, adapted from a translation by Jamie Lee
Searle.
Bastian Bredenkamp is dead. But even the dead have secrets. From the grave, Bastian weaves together the extraordinary tale of his life.

When Khadeejathree comes to work for the family, Bastian is introduced to her daughter Rashieda, and a world he’d been sheltered from. But to love Rashieda means telling his secret: he is not who he appears to be.

Duty. Blood. Honor. Power.
Saeris Fane doesn't want power. The very last thing she needs is her
name whispered on an entire court's lips, but now that she's been
crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's life
is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders. Her ward—and
her brother—need her back in her homeland…but the changes that have
strengthened Saeris have also made her weak. Born under blazing suns,
Saeris will surely die if she makes her way home through the
Quicksilver. Which means that, once again, she must send someone else
in her stead....
"Keep your mouth shut. Stick to the shadows. And for the love of all
seven Gods, do not crack any jokes."
Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate has defeated armies and survived all manner
of horrors, but traveling back to Zilvaren with Carrion Swift might
just be the death of him. The male just will not shut up. Hidden
dangers await them down the narrow alleyways of the Silver City.
Unfolding secrets pose impossible threats. Fisher must wrangle the
smuggler and accomplish his goals quickly if he wants to see his mate
again.
A darkness falls across Yvelia. The realm and their friends are in
danger. Together, Saeris and Fisher will pass through fire and
brimstone to save them.
Narrated in duet style.
1875. Wanneer Kathryn Walsh in die myndorp Calvada aankom, is liefde
die laaste ding waaraan sy dink. Haar welgestelde stiefpa het haar
weggestuur uit Boston om ’n erflating te kom opeis van ’n oom wat sy
nooit geken het nie: ’n klein koerantkantoortjie in die hoofstraat van
’n dorpie vol bordele en kroeë, en ’n skynbaar waardelose myn.
Kathryn besluit om haar oom se koerant weer op die been te bring en
bevind haar kort voor lank midde-in ’n storm tussen twee van Calvada se
magtigste mans. Kathryn is egter vasbeslote om aan te hou sê – en skryf
– waarin sy glo.
Matthias Beck, kroeg- en hotel-eienaar, sien onmiddellik dat die
beeldskone, uitgesproke rooikop net so vasberade soos haar oom is. En
hy weet haar strewe na geregtigheid kan ook háár dood veroorsaak ...
Die aantreklike hotel-eienaar en die eiesinnige juffrou Walsh sien dat
hulle tog vir dieselfde ding baklei: ’n dorp waarop hulle trots kan
wees. Almal wil graag ryk word in die myndorpie, maar dit is ’n liefde
baie kosbaarder as goud wat almal in die dorp uiteindelik sal red.
Moving, passionate, and unforgettable, this novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover follows two young adults from completely different backgrounds embarking on a tentative romance, unaware of what the future holds.
After a childhood filled with poverty and neglect, Beyah Grim finally has her hard-earned ticket out of Kentucky with a full ride to Penn State. But two months before she’s finally free to change her life for the better, an unexpected death leaves her homeless and forced to spend the remainder of her summer in Texas with a father she barely knows.
Devastated and anxious for the summer to go by quickly, Beyah has no time or patience for Samson, the wealthy, brooding guy next door. Yet, the connection between them is too intense to ignore. But with their upcoming futures sending them to opposite ends of the country, the two decide to maintain only a casual summer fling. Too bad neither has any idea that a rip current is about to drag both their hearts out to sea.

was to get away. And eventually they do - one marries, the other
runs as far from home as she can manage. Years later, however,
tragedy will bring the sisters back together. And they'll find that

do when your long lost little sister shows up on your suburban

Their love story has gone viral. But it hasn't even begun . . .
Franny meets Hayes in the opposite of a meet-cute - when her dress
gets caught in the subway doors on her way home and then rips,
leaving her in the fashion equivalent of a hospital gown. Hayes is
the stuffy suit whose one redeeming quality is giving Franny his
jacket, saving her from showing her assets to half of New York.
Franny is eager to forget the whole horribly embarrassing encounter
as soon as possible, but neither of them anticipated a fellow
commuter live-blogging them as #subwaybaes - turning their awkward
run-in into click-bait and a manufactured love story for the ages .
. . Quick to dismiss Hayes as just another a rich guy, Franny is
sure she'll never see him again, and she's desperate to put her
three minutes of viral fame behind her. But fate isn't done with
the would-be subway sweethearts just yet . . . A love letter to
romance, friendship and the Big Apple, Kate Spencer's In a New York
Minute is a fresh, modern take on romantic comedy for fans of The
Flat Share, Our Stop and One Day in December. 'Spencer writes with
a wry lilt and a gift for dialogue. The novel is as much a
love-letter to New York City as any Nora Ephron screenplay, an ode
to sticky days in Central Park . . . and the serendipity that can
crash into you in a city that big and bustling.' - Entertainment
