Hopeless
Beau Eaton is the town prince, a handsome military hero with a tortured past.
I'm the outcast bartender, a shy girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
He's thirty-five and all man, I'm twenty-two and all... virgin. He's also my fiancé. Correction: my fake fiancé.
We start out as a bet. He doesn't believe that anyone holds my last name against me. So he offers me his to prove a point.
It's a win-win. He gets a break from his concerned family's prying, and I get a chance to shed my family's reputation while I save up to ditch this small town.
He says all I have to do is wear his ring, follow his lead, and pretend I can't keep my hands off of him in public.
But it's what happens between us in private that blurs all those carefully drawn lines...
It's what transpires behind closed doors that doesn't feel like pretending at all...
This engagement was supposed to be for show. This agreement? It has an end date.
He once told me he'd never fall in love.
And yet here I am, head over heels for my fake fiancé.

Je držiteľ ceny Grammy Award, a dosiahol aj to, že bol trikrát uvedený do Rokenrolovej siene slávy.V rokoch 1990 a 1991 vystupoval Eric Clapton 42 nocí v Royal Albert Hall v Londýne; 18 koncertov v roku 1990 a 24 v roku 1991. Počas týchto vystúpení vystupoval Clapton v troch rôznych zostavách: rocková kapela, bluesová kapela a orchester. Obrovský počin nacvičovania vystúpení troch výrazne odlišných žánrov a setlistov bol náročnejší kvôli zostavám rockových šou, ktoré sa pohybovali od 4, 9 alebo 13 členov kapely. Medzi hosťujúcich hudobníkov patrili Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Robert Cray a Phil Collins. Orchester dirigoval zosnulý Michael Kamen.Mnohé z vystúpení boli natočené, zaznamenané a brovské množstvo zvukového a filmového materiálu bolo starostlivo obnovené a kvalitatívne vylepšené. Toto vydanie obsahuje nahrávky z rockovej show.

Gwen, the quick-witted Princess of England, and Arthur, future lord and general gadabout, have been betrothed since birth. Unfortunately, the only thing they can agree on is that they hate each other.
When Gwen catches Art kissing a boy and Art discovers where Gwen hides her diary (complete with racy entries about Bridget Leclair, the kingdom's only female knight), they become reluctant allies. By pretending to fall for each other, their mutual protection will be assured.
But how long can they keep up the ruse? With Gwen growing closer to Bridget, and Art becoming unaccountably fond of Gabriel, Gwen's infuriatingly serious, bookish brother, the path to true love is looking far from straight ...
The Summer Job
Birdy Finch just got her dream job. The trouble is, it's not hers . . .
It was a simple accident. Well, maybe a tiny fib. OK, maybe an all-out, blatant, mayhem-causing lie. Because the life she's just claimed is hers actually belongs to her best friend, Heather.
Obviously she'll tell Heather (eventually). And the first guy she's properly liked in forever (probably). Absolutely nobody will know - just till she sorts herself out . . .
So can Birdy carry off a summer at a luxury Scottish hotel pretending to be a world-class wine expert? And can she find the courage to fall in love, even if it means telling the truth?
Run away with Birdy Finch - the messy heroine with a heart of gold!

My best friend’s brother, Dex Hardy, was my downfall – older, forbidden, and completely irresistible. Our relationship was a secret – and he knew it had to stay one. But when Dex betrayed our privacy, I had to leave him – breaking both our hearts. Now, he’s back in my life, as the owner of the casino where I work. He’s become a cold, ruthless billionaire, and he wants revenge. When he finds out I’m engaged, he offers me a deal.
Leave the man I’m with and be with him instead. Or else. Six months of calling Dex my finace… even as he stares at me with hardened eyes. Six months of ignoring his electrifying touches and pretending I don’t love him… when I still do. The problem with faking this engagement is I’m starting to believe in forever. And neither of us can afford to.

From the bestselling author of It Ends With Us, a novella about the search for happily ever after.
A chance encounter in the dark leads eighteen-year-old Daniel and the girl who stumbles across him to profess their love for each other. But this love has conditions: they agree it will last only one hour, and it will be only make-believe.

One year and one bad relationship later, his disbelief in love-at-first-sight is stripped away the day he meets Six: a girl with a strange name and an even stranger personality. Unfortunately for Daniel, finding true love doesn't guarantee a happily ever after . . . it only further threatens it.

Eyes on Me

One, Mia and Garrett can't stand each other.
Two, she has no idea he's the man on the other end of the video.
And three, he's hooked-on the app, and on her.

If he's going to make this right, he has to do more than just watch.
Agatha Christie
'Nobody in the world was more inadequate to act the heroine than I was.'
Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was 'just' an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? As Lucy Worsley says, 'She was thrillingly, scintillatingly modern'. She went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness.
So why - despite all the evidence to the contrary - did Agatha present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady of leisure?
She was born in 1890 into a world which had its own rules about what women could and couldn't do. Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of an internationally renowned bestselling writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman.
With access to personal letters and papers that have rarely been seen, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realise what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was - truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.
Happy High Status
Redefine what confidence looks like at home and at work.
Everyone wants to be able to face challenging situations without feeling daunted, intimidated or stressed. But no-one wants to be labelled over-confident, arrogant or smarmy, or to get caught up in their own hype. So how can you feel authentically confident - without the cringe, and without pretending to be something you're not?
Happy high status is a new way of thinking about confidence and how you relate to yourself. It's how actors and comedians enhance their presence on stage and screen. It lends strength and energy to your interactions, big and small, and is a way of projecting status, minimising self-doubt and moving effortlessly through life.
Drawing on research, practical tips and lessons from the worlds of comedy, film, television, politics and sport, Viv Groskop offers a masterclass in how you can access this new form of confidence at any time. All, crucially, with no risk of anyone thinking that you are your own biggest fan.
