King of Sloth
The must-read billionaire romance from the bestselling author of the Twisted series.
Read King of Sloth now for a steamy reverse grumpy sunshine romance.
He'd never wanted anyone enough to chase them . . . until he met her.
Charming, easy-going, and rich beyond belief, Xavier Castillo has the world at his fingertips.
He also has no interest in taking over his family's empire (much to his father's chagrin), but that hasn't stopped women from throwing themselves at him . . . unless the woman in question is his publicist.
Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future - and the realization that the only person immune to his charms is the only one he truly wants.
***
Cool, intelligent, and ambitious, Sloane Kensington is a high-powered publicist who's used to dealing with difficult clients.
However, none infuriate - or tempt - her more than a certain billionaire heir, with his stupid dimples and laid-back attitude.
She may be forced to work with him, but she'll never fall for him . . . no matter how fast he makes her heart beat or how thoughtful he is beneath his party persona.
He's her client, and that's all he'll ever be. Right?
King of Sloth is a steamy reverse grumpy sunshine billionaire romance. It includes explicit content and profanity. Recommended for mature readers only.
The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling
Tom Jones is a foundling discovered on the property of a very kind, wealthy landowner, Squire Allworthy, in Somerset in England's West Country. Tom grows into a vigorous and lusty, yet honest and kind-hearted, youth. He develops affection for his neighbour's daughter, Sophia Western. On one hand, their love reflects the romantic comedy genre that was popular in 18th-century Britain. However, Tom's status as a bastard causes Sophia's father and Allworthy to oppose their love; this criticism of class friction in society acted as a biting social commentary. The inclusion of prostitution and sexual promiscuity in the plot was also original for its time, and also acted as the foundation for criticism of the book's "lowness."

Rivers of Babylon
Knižný debut, román Rivers of Babylon (1991) vzbudil nebývalý čitateľský a kritický záujem. Pišťanek v ňom expresívnym jazykom s využitím rôznych štýlových vrstiev opisuje pre slov. literatúru netradičné prostredie bratislavského podsvetia, ktoré zaľudňujú postavy drobných i väčších podvodníkov a prostitútok. Jedinou ambíciou týchto ľudí je spríjemniť si život, čo v ich chápaní znamená oklamať, využiť či zničiť tých ostatných. V tomto svete sa svojou primitívnou a priamočiarou túžbou po moci a peniazoch čoraz viac presadzuje hlavná postava, dedinčan Rácz. Niekde v pozadí týchto činností, ktoré postavám zapĺňajú celý život, sa odohráva revolučná zmena roku 1989. Inšpiračné zdroje pre tento román nájdeme v tzv. poklesnutých žánroch – aj Pišťanek kladie dôraz najmä na priamočiarosť rozprávania a rýchly spád deja. Namiesto psychologizácie sa prikláňa k extrovertnému typu písania.
Nové vydanie trilógie vychádza s novými obálkami Tomáša Klepocha.

Having defeated the monstrous threat that nearly destroyed the peculiar world, Jacob Portman is back where his story began, in Florida. Except now Miss Peregrine, Emma, and their peculiar friends are with him, and doing their best to blend in. But carefree days of beach visits and normalling lessons are soon interrupted by a discovery - a subterranean bunker that belonged to Jacob's grandfather, Abe.
Clues to Abe's double-life as a peculiar operative start to emerge, secrets long hidden in plain sight. And Jacob begins to learn about the dangerous legacy he has inherited - truths that were part of him long before he walked into Miss Peregrine's time loop.
Now, the stakes are higher than ever as Jacob and his friends are thrust into the untamed landscape of American peculiardom - a world with few ymbrynes, or rules - that none of them understand. New wonders, and dangers, await in this brilliant next chapter for Miss Peregrine's peculiar children. Their story is again fully illustrated by haunting vintage photographs, but with a striking addition for this all-new, multi-era American adventure - full colour.

Electric City: The Lost History of Ford and Edison's American Utopia
The extraordinary, unknown story of two giants of American history-Henry Ford and Thomas Edison-and their attempt to create an electric-powered city of tomorrow on the Tennessee River During the roaring twenties, two of the most revered and influential men in American business proposed to transform one of the country's poorest regions into a dream technological metropolis, a shining paradise of small farms, giant factories, and sparkling laboratories. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison's "Detroit of the South" would be ten times the size of Manhattan, powered by renewable energy, and free of air pollution. And it would reshape American society, introducing mass commuting by car, use a new kind of currency called "energy dollars," and have the added benefit (from Ford and Edison's view) of crippling the growth of socialism.The whole audacious scheme almost came off, with Southerners rallying to support what became known as the Ford Plan. But while some saw it as a way to conjure the future and reinvent the South, others saw it as one of the biggest land swindles of all time. They were all true.Electric City is a rich chronicle of the time and the social backdrop, and offers a fresh look at the lives of the two men who almost saw the project to fruition, the forces that came to oppose them, and what rose in its stead: a new kind of public corporation called the Tennessee Valley Authority, one of the greatest achievements of the New Deal. This is a history for a wide audience, including readers interested in American history, technology, politics, and the future.
