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!

This Door of the Seas
The Darien Venture was the singular event at the end of the seventeenth century that fundamentally altered Scotland’s future. It took place on the other side of the world, amid the jungle-coastline at the junction between the continents of North and South America. And most of us know next to nothing about it. Now it’s time to remedy that. Award-winning novelist Val McDermid and Geographer Royal for Scotland Jo Sharp unite in this revelatory novella to trace the story of Scotland’s only trading colony, which turned from a dream of prosperity to a nightmare that bankrupted an already impoverished nation and propelled it towards political union with England. Written as a series of letters home from expedition scientist Dr James Wallace to his wife Eliza and Sir Robert Sibbald, the first Geographer Royal, this epistolary tale offers a devastating account of the forces that doomed the endeavour and completely changed the history of the British Isles in the process.

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.

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.

The Midnight Shift
Love is the most despicable excuse.On the lonely outskirts of Seoul, reports come in of a series of suicides at a hospital. The strange and bloodless nature of the elderly victims is dismissed by most, but not Detective Suyeon. As Suyeon begins her investigation, a mysterious woman named Violette appears at the crime scene and gives Suyeon the answer: a vampire did it. The two women begin the hunt for an ancient, supernatural culprit which, in turn, reveals a landscape of modern isolation in a dark, nocturnal Seoul. But as the investigation unfurls, past and present romance and loneliness intertwine it becomes increasingly clear that they, too, are being hunted.Sometimes the monsters we seek are less frightening than being alone.
