An Unconventional Lady
One woman works to expose a scientific fraud while also finding love in the latest sweet Regency romance by Sarah Ladd. Perfect for fans of Julie Klassen, An Unconventional Lady delivers what Publishers Weekly calls Ladd's "pitch-perfect blend of suspense and sweetness" (The Cloverton Charade). She faces the worst ultimatum possible for a woman--marry a man she detests or lose the future she's always imagined. Charming and headstrong, Ella Wilde always knew she was different than other women. Thanks to her unorthodox upbringing as the daughter of Keatley Hall School for Young Men's headmaster, Ella has long dreamed of opening a school for girls that would meet the needs of inquisitive, brilliant, unconventional young women just like her--girls who longed for the education exclusively reserved for boys. But there's just one catch: Unless she marries before her father dies, Keatley Hall will pass into the hands of a distant cousin. In that case, Ella will be left destitute, and at this point her only option appears to be an undesirable marriage. Ella's family had long been proponents of phrenology, the belief that an individual's personality and dispositions were predetermined by the shape of their head. Shortly before her death, however, Ella's mother's views on phrenology changed, and she endeavored to expose phrenology as nothing more than a fraudulent parlor trick. Consequently, she earned the wrath of phrenologist community, who called her "unstable," "bizarre," even "dangerous"--and branded her daughter the same. Now, renowned phrenologist Thomas Bauer is about to arrive at Keatley Hall to speak at the Natural Philosophers' Society gathering, and Ella embraces the opportunity to clear her mother's name--and her own--once and for all. And her partner in crime? None other than her childhood friend Gabriel Rowe, who's grown into an ambitious, handsome London solicitor. Gabriel has his own scores to settle, and when he learns that Thomas Bauer is visiting Keatley Hall, he jumps at the chance to prove himself and right past wrongs. As he is drawn deeper into the unusual happenings, it's clear that he and Ella must work together if they want to unmask the truth. Over time, Gabriel's attraction to Ella's beauty and wit becomes impossible to ignore, and as the lines between professionalism and passion blur, they both must decide what they're willing to risk for happiness.

Totally Awesome Rides
Neon Rides revisits the vibrant and often overlooked vehicles of the 1980s and 1990s, a period once dismissed by traditional collectors and now ripe for reappraisal.
Defined by wedge-shaped silhouettes, turbocharged ambition, and the unapologetic embrace of design excess, these machines were born at the crossroads of analog grit and digital possibility. From underappreciated oddities to cult classics, the cars of this era reflected a world in flux--politically, culturally, and technologically.
Neon Rides is a visual and cultural excavation of a moment when car culture broke from the past and rewired our relationship to identity, aspiration, and speed. Developed in collaboration with the Petersen Automotive Museum, the book combines archival imagery, cultural commentary, and curatorial insight to celebrate a misunderstood chapter in automotive history. It captures the spirit of an era where pop culture, performance, and personality collided, leaving behind tire marks that still matter today.

A Wish For Us - Ezt kívánom magunknak
Történet a zenéről, a gyógyulásról és a szerelem mindent legyőző erejéről.
A tizenkilenc éves Cromwell Dean az elektronikus tánczene
feltörekvő csillaga. Emberek ezrei rajonganak érte,
de senki sem ismeri igazán. Senki sem látja, mit rejt a szíve.
Egészen addig, amíg fel nem bukkan a lila ruhás lány.
Ő átlát a ú által emelt falakon, egészen a lelkében tátongó ürességig.
Amikor Cromwell maga mögött hagyja Anglia szürkeségét,
hogy a forró Dél-Karolinában zenét tanuljon, a legkevésbé sem számít arra,
hogy újra látja őt. És arra végképp nem, hogy folyton ez a lány
jár majd az eszében, akár egy végtelenül ismétlődő dallam.
Bonnie Farraday a zenéért él. Minden hangot beenged a szívébe, és nem érti,
hogyan lehet, hogy valaki, aki annyira tehetséges, mint Cromwell, képes
elzárni magát ettől. A ú a múltja elől menekül, ezt pedig Bonnie is tudja jól.
Próbálja távol tartani magát a útól, de valami újra és újra visszahúzza hozzá.
Bonnie-tól újra berobbannak a színek Cromwell sötét világába.
Cromwell az a zene, amitől Bonnie szíve kihagy egy ütemet.
De amikor árnyék vetül Bonnie életére, Cromwellnek kell fényt hoznia
úgy, ahogy csak ő képes rá. Segítenie kell megtalálni a lány törékeny szívében
elveszett dalt. A remény szimfóniájával. A szerelem szimfóniájával.
A közös szimfóniájukkal.

„Végig a torkomban dobogott a szívem, és millió érzelem kerített

Megosztja velünk legnagyszerűbb történeteit és az élete során
szerzett tapasztalatait. A tánctól a színjátszásig vezető utat,

és veszteségeket. Felidézi a nők jogaiért vívott küzdelmeit, de őszintén
mesél második férje betegségéről és elvesztéséről is.

The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand - Hogyan randizzunk az egyéjszakás kalandunkkal? - Hogyan randizzunk? 3.
Az egyéjszakás kalandok első és legfontosabb szabálya: ne szeress bele a nőbe!
Egy hosszúra nyúló magánéleti válságot követően végre megismerkedtem valakivel, akitől szikra gyúlt a bensőmben. Jobban mondva, a szikrák akkor pattantak ki, amikor összetűzésbe keveredtünk. Majd később - még aznap éjszaka - lángra lobbantak.
Egyetlen nő sem volt még rám olyan hatással, mint Devyn.
Mondanom sem kell, mennyire lelombozott, amikor egy csodás, együtt töltött éjszaka után egyszerűen faképnél hagyott. Képtelen voltam elfelejteni, de ő még a számát sem adta meg. Azt hittem, sosem találkozunk újra.
Ezért képzelhetitek, mennyire megdöbbentem, amikor az egyik szomszédom ajtaján kopogtatva nem más nyitott ajtót, mint ő.
Korábban azt hittem, hogy Devynt egyszerűen nem érdeklem. De szerinted mit érzett, amikor megtudta, hogy én vagyok a főbérlője, és éppen ki akarom lakoltatni...?

Audrey shines in this moving portrait of a mother by her son; a visionary woman who continues to defy all expectations decades after her death.
