Catch Her If You Can UK


#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey is back with an all-new marriage of convenience, friends-to-lovers sports romance about a baseball catcher and the burlesque club owner he can’t get out of his head. Madden Donahue, the newest catcher for the Yankees, has been in love with Eve Mitchell since high school, but for some mysterious reason, the burlesque club owner always turns him down. That never stopped him from being her self-appointed protector. Case in point, now that Eve’s sister has left Eve with her two children indefinitely, Madden steps in with a proposition—marry him for the much needed health benefits. Eve has secretly harbored feelings for Madden all along, but there’s one problem—her best friend Skylar called dibs on him when they were fourteen. Eve has always put their friendship above all else, and she’s not willing to risk losing Skylar over a man. Raised by the local strip club owner, Eve is woefully short on friends and treasures the ones she has. But with Skylar happily paired off, Eve finds herself accepting Madden’s proposal—on the condition that their marriage remains strictly private. She’s not about to let her unique profession and maligned reputation destroy Madden’s shiny new career. Madden won’t let Eve get away that easily, though. What starts as a marriage of convenience soon ignites into something much hotter, and now it’s up to Madden to convince Eve that their connection is far more than a business arrangement. As the passion builds, can their fake marriage become the real deal?

Kate Irving arrives at her grandfather's cottage at Frenchman's Creek in the dead of night with her young son, a small suitcase and little else.

Azraelova kniha - Bohovia a monštrá 1


Tisíce rokov vládol v Pozemi mier. Až doteraz. Pred mnohými storočiami Dianna obetovala svoj smrteľný život, aby zachránila umierajúcu sestru. Netušila však, že na jej zúfalé prosby odpovie Kaden – bytosť temnejšia než akákoľvek nočná mora. Kaden pátra po dávno stratenej knihe, ktorá mu umožní otvoriť brány do iných svetov, vypustiť -krvilačných tvorov a ponoriť všetko do chaosu. Tieto brány kedysi zapečatil boh Samkiel, Ničiteľ svetov, ktorý sa teraz volá Liam a vedie život pustovníka. Netuší pritom, že jeden z jeho odvekých nepriateľov stále žije. Hoci sú Dianna a Liam zaprisahanými nepriateľmi, budú musieť zabudnúť na nezhody a spojiť sily, aby zachránili nielen svoj svet, ale celý vesmír. Vojna bohov a monštier sa blíži.

Nostalgie si bere vás


Dneska se lidi sypou v podstatě na každém rohu nebo v tramvaji. Když už se ale sesypete, záleží hlavně na tom, jak vás znovu uplácají. Jestli vás teda pískaři vůbec seberou. S hlavním hrdinou beze jména – komu tady záleží na jméně? – procházíme městem, kde si domy mezi sebou vyřizují účty jadrnou wasserněmčinou, dělníci v ranních tramvajích zvrací písek, zatímco se trmácí za dřinou do továren, a v noci se k vám v posteli přivine cizí bytost. Z tohohle vyšinutého místa se dá utéct jen pomocí alkoholu nebo něčeho silnějšího a nebezpečnějšího jako láska.

Ráadás


Régen rossz, ha egy könyvcím magyarázatra szorul. Ennél csak az rosszabb, ha nincs, aki megmagyarázza. Mivel a címet én találtam ki, ez a feladat kétségkívül rám vár. Nos, kedves olvasó, a cím úgy született, hogy néhány felnőtteknek szóló könyvem elnyerte az Önök tetszését. Tapsot ugyan nem hallottam, de leveleik, telefonhívásaik és a könyvek fogyása alapján mégis hallani véltem. Remélem, nem tévedtem. Így aztán az Önök biztatására kerekedett ki rövid írásaimból ez az új kötet. Ráadást, ugye, a koncerteken az előadóművészek szoktak adni, ha elég kitartóan tapsol a közönség. Én nem állok pódiumon, csak itthon kopogok öreg írógépemen, és nagyon örülök, ha tetszik, amit írok. Ha valakinek megy a késői busza, indul a vonata, vagy egyébként is elege volt, hát nyugodtan kászálódjék. A ráadás azé, aki kérte, aki várja. Fogadja szeretettel.

Ájlávjú


Kötelességem figyelmeztetni a kedves olvasót, a cím félrevezető. Nem szerelmes történeteket tartalmaz a kötet. Hanem? Az úgy van, hogy az ember időskorban már kevesebbet ügyintéz, szaladgál, nyüzsög. Inkább elgondolkozik ezen-azon, ír, írogat, így a századvégen, ezredelőn. Különösen, ha írónak hiszi magát. Aztán összegyűlik egy kötetre való. De miért jut eszébe éppen ez a cím? Mert a tévésorozatok, az angolszász nyelvterületen készült filmek jóvoltából angolul gyakran hallja. Magyarul csak szeretné hallani. De valahogy hiánycikk. Még a falfirkákon is többnyire angolul olvasható, hogy ,,I love Brigi - Karesz". Azonkívül az angol nyelvű vallomás nemcsak egyes számban szeret, hanem többes számban is. Akár a kedves olvasó is magára veheti. Ha akarja. Rosszkedvet oszlató humort, szeretetből fakadó türelmet, megértést kínálok annak, aki vevő rá.

A Question of Belief


It’s a day like any other, and you’re queuing at the level-crossing. Or, are you hoping to go on retreat and get away from it all. Maybe you know that kindly old lady with her magnificent black cat. But do you really know what’s going on inside the head of that man who’s just rescued an elderly couple from an ongoing train? What do you make of that sober-looking priest? Are these people – and others you’ll meet – what they seem? Perhaps they are. But, if not, what would you do? The sort of help needed may be well beyond the scope of Google, or even the emergency services. But perhaps I’ve got it all wrong, and you’re one of those rare people who see beyond the everyday. Who is ready to listen and believe. You may even have seen something yourself: the tip of an angel’s wing, or a figure that simply melts away. Or, maybe, just maybe, you’re sitting in front of a blank sheet of paper or an empty screen, and could do with a little supernatural help and inspiration. If so, these stories are for you. After all, in the end, it’s all a Question of Belief.
