Řekni ano tomu pravému - Wedding Dreams 3
Romantika je pro začátečníky. To je Willowino motto. Pracuje sice jako fotografka ve svatební agentuře, ale to neznamená, že musí věřit ve velkou osudovou lásku. Proto má pro svůj románek s atraktivním Sethem jen jedno pravidlo: Sex ano, líbání zakázáno. Prostě striktní přátelství s výhodami! A navíc je to přece sen všech mužů, nebo ne?! Zábava bez závazků a povinností… Ale Seth není jako ostatní muži. Je upřímný, věrný a zároveň pekelně sexy. Chce Willow buď celou... nebo vůbec.

Amid Clouds and Bones
A princess is determined to survive an arranged marriage to a heartless fae prince in this stand-alone enemies-to-lovers romantasy perfect for fans of Devney Perry and LJ Andrews.
Mildred may be a princess, but she’s also half fae in a kingdom of humans. She’s spent her years tucked out of sight…until the Seelie Court seeks an alliance. The key? Mildred’s hand in marriage to none other than Prince Atakan the Heartless.
The Seelie prince loathes everyone—but nobody more than his betrothed. In the lead-up to their nuptials, each encounter grows more terrifying than the last as Atakan proves to be as heartless as he is beautiful.
Fear would only doom Mildred faster. So she learns to hide it behind deadly games she soon finds herself happy to play. Mildred isn’t supposed to crave a monster—or sink to his level. But just when she thinks she may be capable of taming the untamable, fate intervenes…and delivers her straight to Atakan’s enemy.

Star Wars: Sanctuary
A good soldier knows that life is all about change-whether it's on or off the battlefield. Surviving, living, means adaptation. Hunter is well acquainted with this lesson. He's on the run from the Empire, Echo's off on a mission with Captain Rex, and Crosshair is . . . still Crosshair, but amidst all the change, Hunter still has Tech, Wrecker, and Omega.
And it seems that his small family might have finally found a safe place to land, far from the increasingly vigilant eyes of the Empire: Pabu. But their potential new island home is in desperate need of resources if there is any hope for the fledgling community to recover from a devastating sea wave. That's where Phee Goena, self-proclaimed liberator of treasures, comes in, with a couple of jobs she swears will get them the funds they need. Despite Hunter's concern with Phee's precarious plans, the rest of the crew is fine following her lead.
Things go wrong almost immediately, as Phee's droid blows the crew's cover at a high-stakes auction, and they barely make it out with the relic they'd been paid to acquire. Hunter insists they finish their first mission and deliver the relic before taking on more work, but Phee and the others push forward with a second job: ferrying a couple on the run, one of whom is due to give birth at any moment. Hunter worries that they're risking too much, especially when their mysterious new passengers cling to lies and secrets that trace back to an Imperial Security Bureau officer hot on their trail.
As Hunter tries to get the crew back on a stable, safe path far, far away from anything to do with the Empire's watchdogs, their overlapping missions only invite more danger and chaos. On the verge of failing both their desperate passengers and their community on Pabu, the Batch must remember that the only way they succeed, the only way they survive to fight another day, is by trusting each other.

Adrift in the South
When Xiao Hai turned fifteen, his family paid a vocational-school teacher 1,200 yuan to find him a factory job in Shenzhen. So began fifteen years spent moving between the garment mills and electronics factories of China's fast-growing southern cities. Adrift in the South is a memoir of life as a migrant labourer in the twenty-first century, making iPhones and baby clothes, hand-stitching football shirts and cutting plastic into radios. Here, Xiao Hai reveals the alienation and tedium of factory life, the small indignities and indifference of the larger system. And he tells the story of how poetry led him somewhere unexpected: to join a small community of artists living, working, and studying together on the outskirts of Beijing. This memoir is a landmark text from China's migrant worker literature movement, a grassroots group of writers providing an unvarnished account of what life is like for the 300 million migrant workers powering the world's second-biggest economy.

Benbecula
'It is dark now and my window onto the world is a small one. I do not know how much longer I will be here.' Shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical FictionOn 9 July 1857, Angus MacPhee, a labourer from Liniclate on the island of Benbecula, murdered his father, mother and aunt. At trial in Inverness he was found to be criminally insane and confined in the Criminal Lunatic Department of Perth Prison. Some years later, Angus’s older brother Malcolm recounts the events leading up to the murders while trying to keep a grip on his own sanity. Malcolm is living in isolation, ostracised by the community and haunted by this gruesome episode in his past. From Graeme Macrae Burnet, the Booker-shortlisted author of His Bloody Project, comes a beguiling psychological novel set on a remote Scottish island. Based on a true story and drawing on the documentary evidence of the time, Burnet constructs a gripping narrative about madness, murder and the uncertain nature of the self. Longlisted for the Highland Book PrizeLonglisted for the CWA Historical Dagger'Dark, intense and utterly compelling' – Laura Wilson, The Guardian
