On Thin Ice
They can't keep skating around their feelings...
When disgraced Hollywood star Luca Vasvault is partnered with drama-averse professional skater Matilda Stevens on Stars on Ice, the pair get off to a less-than-smooth start. Matilda’s dazzling smile and generous spirit immediately set Luca on edge (surely no one can be that nice?) while Luca’s standoffish and brooding behaviour is making Matilda’s job unnecessarily difficult.
Despite their tension behind the scenes, though, there’s no denying their chemistry on the ice. And since Matilda and Luca both need to win for their own reasons, they strike a deal: they’ll work together, playing up their “showmance”, to win the public’s love and better their chances of winning the competition.
After all, they’re both performers for a living. How hard can it be to pretend their feelings are real?
The Marriage Vendetta
Eliza's playwright husband Richard Sheridan has accepted the career opportunity of a lifetime: running a prestigious theatre in Dublin. Eliza plays the role of the supportive wife - uprooting their daughter Mara, relocating from England to Dublin, running the household and managing Richard's paperwork - but inside, she's burning with resentment. When she's sent a suggestive photo of Richard with another woman, it's the last straw. She turns to mysterious marriage therapist Ellen Early for help. But Eliza has no idea just how far Ms. Early is willing to go to get results ...
Asztaltárs
Múlt héten Ben tiszta asztalt hagyott maga után az irodában, ami enyhe citromos fertőtlenítőillatot árasztott magából. Így hát, amikor elővette XL méretű HydroFlask termoszát, egyetlen asztali kiegészítőjét, meglepődött a kaktuszon. Ben körülnézett, de igen, ez volt az ő asztala. Bizarr módon valami folt is volt rajta, közelebbről megvizsgálva olívaolajnak tűnt. Ben leült a székre, és közben előhúzta táskájából a laptopját. Valami apró, kemény dolog volt a széken. Leginkább patkányürüléknek tűnt. Mit tudta ő! Vermontból jött, de a városi patkányok egészen más szerzetek, lazán mászkálnak az utcán, uralják az egész rohadt helyet. Csokival bevont mandula volt. Mi a fene? A kaktusszal nem volt baja, bár megkérdőjelezhető választás, ha jó hangulatot akarunk teremteni egy közös íróasztalnál. Rebecca Blume, az asztaltársa, most vagy nem olvasta az emlékeztetőt (nem akart strébernek tűnni, de lefektettek néhány szabályt, nem?), vagy egyáltalán nem törődött másokkal.”
Egy város, amely sosem alszik.
Egy íróasztal, amelyért érdemes háborút indítani.
És egy legendás írói hagyaték, amely mindent megér.
Rebecca és Ben ugyanabban az irodában dolgoznak New Yorkban, a könyvkiadás fellegvárában, szerkesztőként versengenek egymással. Ha ez nem lenne elég, most már az íróasztalukat is kénytelenek megosztani a másikkal. Gonoszkodó üzenetek ide, csipkelődő megjegyzések oda, mégis egyre nehezebben tagadható, hogy kezd vonzalom kialakulni kettejük között.
Amikor a legendás írófejedelem, „az Oroszlán” meghal, és a hagyatéka szabad prédává válik, mindketten lázasan próbálják megragadni a karrierjük szempontjából mindent eldöntő lehetőséget. Miközben ugyanarra az elveszettnek hitt kéziratra vadásznak, megismerünk a múltból egy, az ügy szempontjából fontos másik szálat is: Jane és Rose jó barátok, és az 1980-as években szintén az irodalmi életben forogtak. Sőt: „az Oroszlánt” is jól ismerték. Egy sorsdöntő, tavaszi hóviharos nap azonban örökre megváltoztatta egyikük sorsát…
Vajon Rebecca vagy Ben jön rá hamarabb a múlt rejtélyes titkára, hogy előnyt szerezzen a kéziratért való versengésben?
Az Úztaltárs szellemes és éleslátó regény rivalizálásról, hatalomról és azokról, akik a könyvek mögött állnak – tökéletes olvasmány mindenkinek, aki kíváncsi a kiadói világ kulisszatitkaira, és szereti a lassan izzó érzelmi feszültséget.
Sable Peak - Cesta na vrchol
Závěrečný díl série Edenovi.
Vera Gallagherová se snaží dostat svůj život do normálu. Po čtyři roky byl její život všechno, jen ne normální. A na léta předtím raději nevzpomíná vůbec. Zabývat se minulostí bolí. Život je křehký, to ji naučila matka.
Někteří by si možná mysleli, že je blázen, když miluje Matea Edena, muže, který jí dosud nevěnoval ani špetku pozornosti. Přesto je Vera rozhodnutá: buď Mateo, nebo nic.
Je pohledný. Okouzlující. Vtipný. A svoji rodinu miluje stejně jako ona – celým svým srdcem.
Možná si Very nikdy nevšimne. Možná je natolik poznamenaná, natolik zlomená, že se jí nepodaří prožít normální život. Možná jim budou v cestě navždy stát její tajemství. Ona ho však bude vždycky milovat. Ať si to Mateo uvědomí, nebo ne.

It's time this love broke free . . .
Paloma Blake is, at best, antagonistic. But beneath the hairspray, attitude, and promiscuity is a scared girl whose trauma runs deep. Still, the walls she's built are strong, ensuring everyone only sees Paloma's sexy façade. Everyone except for Bennett.
Bennett Reiner, the carefully controlled, neurodivergent goalie, has his routines and sticks to them, which helps him keep a hold on his OCD compulsions and the crippling anxiety that comes with them. The quiet and meticulous Bennett sees everything, especially the girl beneath Paloma's ever-present masks. And he always has.
Unbeknownst to their friends, Bennett and Paloma were each other's first real love, which ended in crippling heartbreak. Bennett still doesn't know what happened, and Paloma is determined to stay away from the comfort she used to find only in his arms. For years, Bennett has remained her protective shadow, coming to Paloma's rescue whenever she asked, keeping her as close and safe as she'll let him. But, like a tumultuous sea to a constant shore, Bennett and Paloma find each other once more.
As Bennett discovers the truth about Paloma's past, the threads to his careful control start to come unbound, and both begin to realize that letting go of everything else might be worth it, if it means they both get the real love they once shared again . . .
The perfect combination of angst, romance and spice, and full of intensity and emotion, this second-chance ice hockey romance features two characters who can't seem to let go of their first love.
Ryder
One hard fall in the rodeo ring. One maddeningly gorgeous cowboy. One chance at love she swore she'd never take. Billie Wallace has spent her whole life trying to prove she's more than the Wallace Ranch's "wild" only daughter. All she wants is a shot at barrel racing but when her very first run ends in disaster, Billie lands flat on her back with Ryder Rivers - her childhood crush, her brother's best friend, and the town's notorious heartbreaker - hovering over her. Ryder has never entertained Billie's shameless flirting. But after her fall, he's suddenly everywhere - showing up to help her when she's hurt, staring at her across the honky-tonk when she's trying to move on with a bronc rider, and encouraging her to explore her dream career. Before either can register what's happening, their partnership sparks into much more than just dust and arguments. Late nights turn into stolen kisses. Stolen kisses turn into something that feels dangerously like forever. Ryder swears he's not the staying kind, but the way he looks at Billie like she's the only woman in the world makes her wonder if he's ready to stop running . . . Ryder is the fifth standalone cowboy romance in the steamy and wildly sexy Lucky River Ranch series by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jessica Peterson, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage.

When his uncle gives him a roof over his head after ten years in foster care, Ronan uses this second chance to become a vigilante, walking the streets of Santa Cruz to keep the nightmares at bay. If he can use his anger to protect instead of hurt, maybe he'll find the absolution he seeks.
Then he meets Shiloh.

Shiloh and Ronan's attraction is instant and scorching. Falling in love is an impossible pipe dream saved for those less damaged, but as hard as they try to resist, the feelings between them seem inevitable…until one terrible night destroys Shiloh's dreams and Ronan's future.
When the smoke clears and the rubble settles, they'll have to choose: do their pasts determine their future, or can they build a new one from the broken pieces of their hearts?
