So here’s the plan.
Five innocent people. In different locations. All kidnapped at the same moment in time.
Two children taken from a private school bus. A film producer and a movie star grabbed at a hideaway resort. A beautiful wife whisked off the streets of Beverly Hills.

The cash, gold, jewels, crypto are all ready.
There’s only one problem: Stubborn and brilliant FBI agent Nicky Gordon also has a plan. And she doesn’t want to pay the kidnappers. Not a dime.
Lessons in Falling - Vonzalomból jeles - Hall Beck University 3.
Tudtam, hogy rossz ötlet. A szívem mégis hamarabb döntött, mint én.
Valentina Rhodes az egész eddigi életét azzal töltötte, hogy a saját szükségleteit háttérbe szorítva mindenki más kedvére tegyen. Amikor rájön, hogy a ragyogó egyetemi diplomája még mindig nem elég a családjának, érzi, hogy valamin változtatnia kell. A nyarat Oakport szigetén tölti a legjobb barátaival, és azt tervezi, hogy felforgatja az életét. Egy tiltott kívánságokból álló bakancslistával felvértezve végre készen áll felfedezni, hogy ki is ő valójában.
Aztán Caden Callahan keresztülhúzza a terveit.
A karizmatikus focikapitánynak nem lett volna szabad itt lennie, és végképp nem költözhetett volna be a lány szobájába. Valentina bebeszéli magának, hogy a korábban együtt töltött éjszaka csak egyszeri hiba volt. Egészen addig, amíg rá nem jön, hogy a srác egész nyáron a baráti társaságukkal lóg majd. Így minden lopott pillantás és véletlen érintés azt az egyetlen szabályt fenyegeti, ami tiltja a barátok közti randizást. Valentina tudja, hogy az lenne a bölcs dolog, ha elkerülné Cadent. A biztonságos választás. De ahogy végre először saját magát helyezi az előtérbe, szembesül a lehetetlen felvetéssel: talán az önmagáért való kiállás igazából nem is azt jelenti, hogy egyedül marad. A Hall Beck University-trilógia felejthetetlen fináléja!

A Thief to Die For
A stunning reimagining of Robin Hood, set in the same dystopian world woven with magic as The Enemy’s Daughter. An incredibly addictive YA enemies-to-lovers dystopian fantasy.
A soldier with magic. A thief with a secret. A spark that could burn their worlds down.
In a desolate, lawless land, Marian carries a dangerous secret. By day, she’s a high-ranking guard serving her father, the ruthless Commander who rules with an iron fist. By night, she becomes a whip-wielding thief, robbing the cowards she works with, to help those they mistreat.
That is, until Ryland catches her mid-raid. Revealing her identity could help him secure the deal he needs to save his homeland. Or, it could blow everything apart – if Marian has her way.
But Ryland holds his own secrets – untapped magic runs through his veins. A magic the Commander wants, along with invading Ryland’s distant settlement. Marian has her orders: win Ryland’s heart to betray him and his people.
And so begins a deadly dance of deception, stealing from the rich to give to the poor … and magic – the kind Ryland’s been waiting his whole life to wield.
Age of Security
What would you give up to feel safe?The security industry has captured our politics and our private lives. From rogue states to Ring doorbells, someone is always keeping a watchful eye - and we're paying for it. Anthropologist Ruben Andersson shows how Big Security rose to power, generating unprecedented profits, while failing to protect us and actively making us less safe.In this page-turning dispatch from security's frontlines - across the political right and left and global rich and poor - he tracks police chiefs in Swedish suburbs, embeds with migrants in Mexico, bunkers down with peacekeepers in Mali and dines with arms dealers in Paris.Everywhere, he finds that our shared obsession with security is an act of retreat: high walls, constant surveillance and punitive policies offer the illusion of control while fuelling paranoia and precarity. Every tracking app installed, border fortified, or emergency law passed makes us less free and less safe. Real safety is found an open, shared society with a strong social contract, freedom of expression and a sense of positive human purpose.We have given up so much in the name of safety and convenience.But once we see how security has trapped us, we can start to break free.
