Tvůj až za hrob
Callum Flannelly by raději skočil do otevřeného hrobu, než aby šel s cizí ženou na večeři nebo do kina. Zdědit rodinný pohřební ústav a pokračovat v odkazu několika generací ovšem může jen pod jednou podmínkou: musí se do svých pětatřicátých narozenin oženit. Dostává se tedy z pomyslného bláta na hřbitově do louže randění.
Lark Thompsonová by se raději nechala rozdrtit padající kovadlinou, než aby během svého pobytu v irském Galwayi bydlela vedle pohřebního ústavu. Temperamentní americká animátorka sem přijela znovu najít chuť k životu, ne si připomínat ztrátu manžela.
Když se Lark dozví o Callumově dilematu a odporu k tomu, že by se měl namísto z lásky oženit z nutnosti, souhlasí, že introvertnímu majiteli pohřebního ústavu pomůže. Ačkoli se osobně lásky zřekla, je optimistka a věří, že Callum dokáže najít tu pravou a zajistit si dědictví.
Ale jak seznamovací projekt postupuje a jejich přátelství se prohlubuje, totéž platí i o vzájemné přitažlivosti. Čím víc času Lark s vážným, sarkastickým Callumem tráví, tím víc se obává toho, že se mu podaří najít partnerku. A čím příšernější schůzky Callum přetrpí, tím víc se mu svírá srdce z toho, že se nezadržitelně blíží její odjezd do Států.
Jestli si ti dva myslí, že vzájemné spojení dokážou ignorovat, jsou vedle jako ta hřbitovní jedle.

Country People
Miles Krzelewski is a devoted husband, a doting father beloved for his outlandish bedtime stories, and the proud owner of a truffle-hunting dog in a land with no truffles. He is also a bit lost, twelve years late with his PhD on Russian folktales and increasingly haunted by a sense that he's become a disappointment to his family.
So when his wife Kate accepts a visiting professorship at a prestigious college in the far away forests of Vermont, he decides that this will be the year to finally move forward with his life.
But Miles is a man of many enthusiasms, who possesses, in Kate's, words, 'a great capacity to fall in with anyone, anywhere'. Soon he finds himself entangled with a cast of characters as colorful as those of any of his folktales - from a ghostly tree surgeon, to a scythe-mad biochemist, a Shakespearean temptress, and a photographer of snowflakes - until at last he stumbles upon a bizarre local legend, which, he begins to suspect, might not be a legend at all.

From the ashes of Harlos, only a single scorched hope remains. In the aftermath, Soluna is left to reckon with the brutal cost of her choices. Old wounds split open, fragile alliances collapse, and survival in the new world proves more dangerous than the war that forged it.

Red As Royal Blood - Vörös vér, királyi vér
Semmi sem veszélyesebb a koronánál.
Ruby, az árva szolgálólány imád sakkozni, és még nem találkozott olyan rejtvénnyel, amit ne tudott volna megoldani. De egyetlen sakkjátszma, egyetlen rejtvény sem készíthette fel arra, amivel szembekerül: Lumaria királya a halála előtt őt nevezi meg trónörökösének.
A királyi udvar viperafészkébe vetve Ruby kénytelen szembenézni a válságban lévő királysággal, a halott király dühös feleségével és a három vonzó, de kiszámíthatatlan herceggel, akik nem hajlandóak harc nélkül lemondani a jövőjükről. Ráadásul rátalál egy üzenetre, amelyből kiderül, hogy a királyt meggyilkolták. És ő lehet a következő.
Nem tudva, kiben bízhat, Ruby kényelmetlen szövetségeket köt, miközben megpróbálja megoldani a király halálát övező rejtélyt. A válasz valahol a múltban rejtőzik, akárcsak saját származásának titka.
Az idő fogy.
A sakkjátszma a végéhez közeledik. Válaszokat kell találnia, mielőtt a gyilkos eljön érte is.
