Ügynök tűsarkúban
Lili Green megtapasztalta, hogy a sors egy váratlan fordulattal milyen könnyen a feje tetejére állíthatja az életét. A felkavaró kalandok után örömmel veti bele magát az erőszaktól és gengszterektől mentes, békés hétköznapokba. A nyugalom azonban nem tart sokáig: ezúttal Lili maga ugrik fejest egy FBI-akcióba, hogy segítsen megmenteni egy barátja életét. A megbízás nem mindennapi kihívások elé állítja: az éjszakai bárok erotikával túlfűtött világában kell elvegyülnie, majd a nyomok egy elit klub rejtett drogüzletéig vezetnek. A kezdetben sem egyszerű ügy egyre veszélyesebbé válik, és Lili – híven önmagához – pillanatok alatt ismét az események sűrűjében találja magát, az érzelmei pedig csak tovább csomózzák az amúgy is szövevényes szálakat. Képes lesz Lili a tapasztalataira és az ösztöneire támaszkodva megállni a helyét egy olyan ügyben, amelynek sikerén egy jó
barátja élete múlik? Vajon a váratlan kalanddal a sors a szerelmesek pártjára áll, vagy végleg elszakítja őket egymástól? Az Ügynök tűsarkúban a nagy sikerű Lili Green-sorozat második epizódja, amely önálló regényként is letehetetlen olvasmány, tele izgalommal, fordulattal és szenvedéllyel. A sorozat első részéért (A szemtanú) Aranykönyv díjra jelölt Carrie Cooper ismét különleges kalandot ígér a romantikus krimik kedvelőinek.

My Sister´s Keeper
A major decision about me is being made, and no one's bothered to ask the one person who most deserves it to speak her opinion. The only reason Anna was born was to donate her cord blood cells to her older sister. And though Anna is not sick, she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since she was a child. Anna was born for this purpose, her parents tell her, which is why they love her even more. But now that she has reached an age of physical awareness, she can't help but long for control over her own body and respite from the constant flow of her own blood seeping into her sister's veins. And so she makes a decision that for most would be too difficult to bear, at any time and at any age. She decides to sue her parents for the rights to her own body.

Exmanželka Tvári sa, že rozvod bol bez problémov, a s bývalým manželom udržuje priateľský vzťah, pretože všetky výčitky a krivdy v sebe pochovala čo najhlbšie.

Podarí sa jej znovu nájsť stratené sebavedomie a začať nový život? Nastávajúca Zamilovala sa do muža, ktorý nikdy nebude bezvýhradne patriť iba jej.

Aká je pravdepodobnosť, že druhé manželstvo bude šťastné, keď nepoznáme príčiny nešťastného konca prvej lásky?

Nie každá exmanželka musí byť zatrpknutá. Nie každá macocha je krutá a zlomyseľná. Doparoma, veď je celkom pochopiteľné, že sa tak niekedy správajú!

Nona faces the final challenges that must be overcome if she is to become a full sister in the order of her choice. But it seems unlikely that Nona and her friends will have time to earn a nun’s habit before war is on their doorstep.
Even a warrior like Nona cannot hope to turn the tide of war.
The shiphearts offer strength that she might use to protect those she loves, but it’s a power that corrupts. A final battle is coming in which she will be torn between friends, unable to save them all. A battle in which her own demons will try to unmake her.
A battle in which hearts will be broken, lovers lost, thrones burned.

The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers: And Other Gruesome Tales
Jen Campbell's collection of terrifyingly gruesome tales lends a modern edge to fairy tale collections for young readers. Drawing on her extensive knowledge of fairy tale history, Campbell's stories undo the censoring, gender stereotyping and twee endings of more modern children's fairy tales, to return both classic and little-known stories to their grim versions, whilst celebrating a diverse range of characters.
Featuring 14 short stories from around the globe, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is illustrated in a contemporary style by Canadian comic artist Adam de Souza. De Souza's brooding illustrations are a highly original blend of 19th-century Gothic engravings and moody film noir graphic novels. Beautifully produced in a hardback format with a rose gold ribbon marker, The Sister Who Ate Her Brothers is a truly thrilling gift.

How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House
In Baxter's Beach, Barbados, Lala's grandmother Wilma tells the story of the one-armed sister, a cautionary tale about what happens to girls who disobey their mothers.
For Wilma, it's the story of a wilful adventurer, who ignores the warnings of those around her, and suffers as a result.
When Lala grows up, she sees it offers hope - of life after losing a baby in the most terrible of circumstances and marrying the wrong man.
And Mira Whalen? It's about keeping alive, trying to make sense of the fact that her husband has been murdered, and she didn't get the chance to tell him that she loved him after all.
HOW THE ONE-ARMED SISTER SWEEPS HER HOUSE is the powerful, intense story of three marriages, and of a beautiful island paradise where, beyond the white sand beaches and the wealthy tourists, lies poverty, menacing violence and the story of the sacrifices some women make to survive.

Star D'Apliese is at a crossroads in her life after the sudden death of her beloved father - the elusive billionaire, named Pa Salt by his six daughters, all adopted by him from the four corners of the world. He has left each of them a clue to their true heritage, but Star - the most enigmatic of the sisters - is hesitant to step out of the safety of the close relationship she shares with her sister CeCe. In desperation, she decides to follow the first clue she has been left, which leads her to an antiquarian bookshop in London, and the start of a whole new world . . .
A hundred years earlier, headstrong and independent Flora MacNichol vows she will never marry.

Flora is pulled between passionate love and duty to her family, but finds herself a pawn in a game - the rules of which are only known to others, until a meeting with a mysterious gentleman unveils the answers that Flora has been searching for her whole life . . .
As Star learns more of Flora's incredible journey, she too goes on a voyage of discovery, finally stepping out of the shadow of her sister and opening herself up to the possibility of love.
