Dračí kavárna
Když si Safira otevírala kavárnu pro dračí mláďata a jejich páníčky, nečekala, jak těžké bude udržet ji nad vodou. Brzy se ukázalo, že malí dráčci nejsou zrovna ideální zákazníci a neustálá výměna ohořelého nábytku stojí Safiru víc, než si může z prodeje své vyhlášené kávy pražené dračím dechem dovolit. Pohledný Aiden, majitel místního zahradnictví a proslulý lamač dívčích srdcí, se mnohem víc než o ženy zajímá o rostliny. Zároveň si ale neví rady se svým neposlušným dračím mazlíčkem. Když pozná Safiru, dostane geniální nápad – zaplatí jí, aby jeho nezbedného malého draka vycvičila. Safířina veselá a okouzlující povaha uzavřeného bručouna Aidena dráždí, zároveň ho ale taky beznadějně přitahuje...

Wrecks
A noirish near-future thriller about obsession, connection and penance, where human and machine bleed into one, for fans of J. G. Ballard and Joel Lane. When celebrated rally driver Teddy Moon suffers a career-ending crash in the foothills of Eryri, Wales, Lescure senior technician Jim Sorrel shoulders the blame. Cleared of criminal negligence but dismissed by his bosses, Sorrel goes to ground in London during a lethal heatwave. Here, Sorrel''s guilt is only deepened by the disappearance of his young apprentice, Marcus and by voices from the past haunting him through his phone. Then a lifeline: Teddy emerges from his coma and asks to see Sorrel in person. Because, Sorrel learns, Teddy has been dreaming of him. And now Teddy has an opportunity to discuss. At Teddy''s behest, Sorrel takes a job couriering worldboxes - seamless, brushed-steel vessels - for well-paying, anonymous clients. It feels like another chance. A way for Sorrel to remake himself. But the worldboxes also seem to carry the threat of something incomprehensible, and soon even Sorrel''s new beginnings falter as retribution draws near. Set against a background of unrelenting heat and oppressive surveillance, Wrecks drives readers towards a grotesque impasse, where blood and engine oil threaten to engulf us all.

Gucci - Egy sikeres dinasztia története
Patricia Gucci titokban született: szerelemgyerek volt, akinek születése könnyen romba dönthette volna édesapja karrierjét. Aldo nem engedhetett meg magának egy nyilvános botrányt, azonban nem volt képes ellenállni Patricia édesanyja iránti hatalmas szerelmének.
Szerelmét, Brunát akkor ismerte meg, amikor a fiatal lány munkát vállalt az első római Gucci-üzletben. Teherbe esése után Aldo Gucci, a problémákat elkerülendő, Londonba menekítette Brunát, hogy később újszülött gyermekével együtt diszkréten visszacsempéssze Rómába, az olasz hatóságok, a média és a Gucci család előtt teljes titokban.
Ez a könyv Patricia szüleinek elhallgatott szerelmi történetét tárja elénk a szerző személyes emlékeire, szüleinek összegyűjtött szerelmes leveleire és az édesanyjával folytatott beszélgetésekre, valamint a korábban nem publikált archív fényképekre támaszkodva. Szüleinek viharos történetét édesapjához fűződő személyes viszonyának elbeszélésével szövi át: attól kezdve, hogyan töltötte életének első évtizedét legnagyobb részt rejtőzködve, elszigetelten a világtól, majd hogyan vált a Gucci szóvivőjévé és apjának, Aldónak legfiatalabb tanítványává. Az Olaszországon, Anglián és Amerikán átívelő történet szerelemről és veszteségről, árulásról és hűségről szól, amely a Gucci családi vállalkozásként megélt hatvan évének legviharosabb időszakában játszódik.
Loverboy - A sármőr (Company 2.)
Titkok, vágyak és remek piték. Ez a vállalat mindennapi munkájának része.
Régebben én voltam a rossz környékről származó kemény srác, akinek soha semmiben nem volt szerencséje. Posy pedig egy elkényeztetett kislány, akit le akartam nyűgözni. Csak egyetlen csókot kaptam tőle, mielőtt el kellett hagynom a várost.
Most azonban újra itt vagyok, és fordult a kocka. Posy egy pitézőt vezet, ám gondokkal küszködik. Én pedig egy titkos, milliárddolláros biztonsági cég alelnöke vagyok. Utóbbit persze nem mondhatom el neki.
New Yorkban egy gyilkos garázdálkodik, és úgy tűnik, sok időt tölt Posy üzletében. Az a feladatom, hogy azonosítsam, mielőtt Posynak baja esik. Nem az én ötletem volt, hogy az új baristájának álcázzam magam. Még csak nem is kávézom. De most „főnöknek” kell szólítanom, és mindent meg kell tennem, amit ez a csinos, maximalista nő kér tőlem. Már el is felejtettem, mennyire idegesítjük egymást, ám valahogy mégis egyszerre tölt el vágyakozással és kerget az őrületbe.
A titkos műveletekben én vagyok a legjobb. El tudom kapni ezt a gyilkost. Miután vettem egy hideg zuhanyt, és miután rájöttem, hogyan kell borsmentás lattét készíteni macska formájú tejhabbal a tetején…
Kockáztass mindent egy szerelemért!
Szereted az érzéki, de tartalmas könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan, tetszeni fog!
Fiatal nőknek, felső korhatár nélkül!

The Secret History of Gold
Gold (noun): A precious, yellow metal, prized for its beauty. Inert, immune to corrosion, highly malleable though with little utility. Seen as pure wealth.
The definitive biography of the metal that has shaped our world - and may yet determine its fate.
The Secret History of Gold tells the epic tale of the world's oldest, and most treasured, currency. From its origins in the formation of the solar system to its pivotal role in both ancient myth and modern finance, Dominic Frisby explores, with wit and brevity, how gold has defined the entire course of human civilisation.
Gold has inspired men to do the most brilliant - and terrible - things. The most stolen metal in history, it has lured explorers, conquerors and thieves. It has sparked wars, it has built empires, it has empowered leaders - from Alexander the Great to Adolf Hitler - good and bad. As nations today such as China and Russia mine and hoard gold at record rates, Frisby examines its enduring significance in the digital age and its potential to influence global peace and power.
This is the untold story of gold: its past, its present and its future.

Steeped in folklore, mythology, magic and religion, The Book of Beasts tells the story of our shapeshifting relationships with animals, from reverence to persecution, friendship to fear, awe to indifference.

Homo Criminalis
Crime doesn't just pay, it tells. What we choose to ban, penalise or prosecute says something about us; and how far the mobsters and mafias are still able to ply their trades says something about us, too.

From Chinese banditry and eighteenth-century English tea smuggling to today's cocaine submarines and the high-tech crimes of tomorrow, this book aims to shows just how far society has changed - and how crime has changed with us.
Often considered marginal or an aberration, we'll see how the power structures and power struggles of the criminal world have actually worked to drive progress, forming the necessary dark underbelly of humanity's evolution.
