'A joy to read' Amanda Craig 'Shades of Cold Comfort
Farm...Charming' Guardian English Animals is a subversive, wry
debut that fans of Marina Lewycka's A Short History of Tractors in
Ukrainian will love. When Mirka gets a job in a country house in
rural England, she has no idea of the struggle she faces to make
sense of a very English couple, and a way of life that is entirely
alien to her. Richard and Sophie are chaotic, drunken, frequently
outrageous but also warm, generous and kind to Mirka, despite their
argumentative and turbulent marriage. Mirka is swiftly commandeered
by Richard for his latest money-making enterprise, taxidermy, and
soon surpasses him in skill. After a traumatic break two years ago
with her family in Slovakia, Mirka finds to her surprise that she
is happy at Fairmont Hall. But when she tells Sophie that she is
gay, everything she values is put in danger and she must learn the
hard way what she really believes in.
A heart can break, even one that no longer beats. I stalk my new
neighbors, a single mother and her child, drawn by the irresistible
scent of their joy and love. I crave their blood, starved for some
healing respite from my ancient guilt and grief. Now to lure them
into my grasp. But they surprise me. Little Olivia accepts me
without fear--talking, smiling, offering innocent affection that
tugs at my long-lost humanity. Her mother, Samantha, seeks me out
when she should stay away, offering sweet friendship, and tempting
the forgotten man within me. They lure me instead. Ah, Dio, Lucien,
run and spare them while you can...
Two strangers... Makenna James thinks her day can't get any worse,
until she finds herself stranded in a pitch-black elevator with a
complete stranger. Distracted by a phone call, the pin-striped
accountant catches only a glimpse of a dragon tattoo on his hand
before the lights go out. Four hours... Caden Grayson is amused
when a harried redhead dashes into his elevator fumbling her bags
and cell phone. His amusement turns to panic when the power fails.
Despite his piercings, tats, and vicious scar, he's terrified of
the dark and confined spaces. Now, he's trapped in his own worst
nightmare. One pitch-black elevator... To fight fear, they must
reach out and open up. With no preconceived notions based on looks
to hold them back, they discover just how much they have in common.
In the warming darkness, attraction grows and sparks fly, but will
they feel the same when the lights come back on?
