As parents, surrogates, doctors and family struggle to hide or reveal the truth to the now adult children, the stakes are raised and questions multiply. Who are Sarah and Suzette’s parents? What does the future hold for those trapped by the pas? he second book in The Identity Thieves series and a compelling follow-up to The Search, The Choice holds a mirror up to how we construct identity when nothing we believed is true.
Master Secretary
Statesman, strategist, survivor: Robert Cecil stood at the very heart of England’s transition from Tudor to Stuart rule. Hunched-backed and underestimated in an age hostile to disability, he rose to become Master Secretary to Elizabeth I and James I, suppressing the Essex Rebellion, foiling the Gunpowder Plot, and negotiating peace with Spain. In this richly imagined sequence of eighteen interlinked stories, Cecil’s voice is joined by those of his family, allies, and adversaries—Elizabeth I, Anthony and Francis Bacon, Walter Raleigh, Ben Jonson, Arbella Stuart, and nameless spies and commoners whose lives brushed against his. From court intrigue to tavern gossip, from the grandeur of the Somerset House Peace Conference to a humble Limerick shop, these tales weave fact and fiction into a vivid portrait of one of history’s most remarkable political survivors. Spanning his birth to his final conversation with the sculptor designing his tomb, Master Secretary opens a window onto the world Shakespeare inhabited—a world of politics and diplomacy, comedy and tragedy, faith and betrayal. Grounded in historical record yet alive with imagination, this is a compelling re-telling of the life of Robert Cecil: underestimated by many, unforgotten by all.

The Committee
This wry take on Kafka’s novel The Trial revolves around its narrator’s attempts to petition successfully the elusive ruling body of his country, known simply as "the Committee." Consequences for his actions range from the absurd to the hideous. Ibrahim offers an unbroken first-person narrative rendered in brief, crisp prose framed by a conspicuous absence of vivid imagery. Furthermore, the petitioner is a man without identity. The ideal antihero, he remains, as does his country, unnamed throughout the intricate plot with a locale suggestive of 1970s Cairo. The Committee pierces the inflammatory terrain between ordinary men, unbridled displays of power, and other broader concerns of the author’s native Egypt. The novel’s corrosive, shocking conclusion catapults satiric surrealism into a new realm.

Action=Vie
Act Up-Paris became one of the most notable protest groups in France in the mid-1990s. Founded in 1989, and following the New York model, it became a confrontational voice representing the interests of those affected by HIV through openly political activism. Action=Vie, the English-language translation of Christophe Broqua’s study of the grassroots activist branch, explains the reasons for the group’s success and sheds light on Act Up's defining features—such as its unique articulation between AIDS and gay activism. Featuring numerous accounts by witnesses and participants, Broqua traces the history of Act Up-Paris and shows how thousands of gay men and women confronted the AIDS epidemic by mobilizing with public actions. Act Up-Paris helped shape the social definition not only of HIV-positive persons but also of sexual minorities. Broqua analyzes the changes brought about by the group, from the emergence of new treatments for HIV infection to normalizing homosexuality and a controversy involving HIV-positive writers’ remarks about unprotected sex. This rousing history ends in the mid-2000s before marriage equality and antiretroviral treatments caused Act Up-Paris to decline.
A Duet with the Siren Duke - Duett a Szirénherceggel - (Különleges kiadás)
KÜLÖNLEGES, ÉLDEKORÁLT KIADÁS
Szorult helyzetében eladta a lelkét egy szirénnek,
aki most eljött azért, ami jár neki.
Victoria mindent kockára tesz, hogy el tudjon menekülni bántalmazó férjétől, és kapjon egy új esélyt az életre. A szökése során azonban bajba kerül, és egy titokzatos szirén izmos karjában találja magát, aki választás elé állítja: vagy kegyelmet kap egy időre, vagy azonnal meghal.
Az alkujuk örökre megpecsételi mindkettőjük sorsát.
Öt évvel később Victoria még mindig életben van - és immár ő a világ legjobb hajóskapitánya.
A szirén eljön érte - hat hónappal korábban, mint ahogy az egyezség szól.
Amikor Victoria a Szirének Birodalmában, a halálosan veszélyes óceán közepén találja magát, kiderül, hogy őt szánják áldozatnak egy olyan szertartáson, amelyhez minden szirén hatalmas reményeket fűz.
Victoria új egyezséget köt: amennyiben a Szirénherceg segít neki megmenteni a családját, ő teljesíti a szirének akaratát. És ez elég jó alkunak is tűnik, egészen addig, amíg friss szenvedély nem lobban a lány megkínzott szívében, és azzal nem fenyegeti, hogy mindent tönkretesz, amiért egész életében dolgozott. Lassanként csak arra tud gondolni, mennyire elevennek érzi magát ennek a jóképű szirénnek az énekétől és az érintésétől.
Vajon fennmaradhat-e a szerelem az ősi mágia, az elsüllyedt rejtélyek és az elfelejtett istenek birodalmában két meggyötört teremtmény között, akik elszántan harcolnak az idő és a tiltott vágyak ellen? Vagy végleg elhallgatnak lelkük törékeny trillái?
Az eskü kötelez - (Különleges kiadás)
KÜLÖNLEGES, ÉLDEKORÁLT KIADÁS
Az eskü, amelytől senki sem szabadulhat...
Donovan
Alkut ajánlottam egy rivális család fejének. Ő nemet mondott, én pedig válaszul halált ígértem neki. Aztán megláttam őt. A nőt, akit el kellett volna pusztítanom a vőlegényével és a nevével együtt. Ehelyett magammal hurcoltam, és az asszonyommá tettem.
Nem törtem meg. Átformáltam. Megmutattam neki, mit jelent az irányítás. Mit jelent biztonságban lenni egy olyan férfi mellett, akitől mindenki más fél.
Valentina
Az esküvőm napján elraboltak, hogy ezzel üzenetet küldjenek a világnak. Így váltam trófeává, aki egy kegyetlen férfi győzelmét hirdeti a maffiacsaládok előtt.
Menekülnék tőle, de ahogy közelebb kerülök hozzá, rájövök, hogy egyre inkább maradni akarok. Mert Donovan Kane elvette a lelkemet és a szabadságomat, de adott helyette valamit, amire titokban elkezdtem vágyni. Önmagát.
Marilyn Miller megnyitja egy sötét világ kapuját, ahol nincsenek hősök, csak ragadozók és
prédák. Történet hatalomról, bosszúról és két ember végzetes összefonódásáról, ahol a
szerelem is halálos fegyver. Mert a legveszélyesebb háborúban mindig a szív a tét.

Tieň noci
On by pre ňu spálil celý svet... ale nakoniec možno ona spáli ten jeho.
Ofelia Wintersová túži po pomste.
Univerzita Sorrowsong na odľahlej Škótskej vysočine prijíma len študentov z tých najvplyvnejších rodín. Ofelia tam nepatrí, ale vzácne štipendium jej poskytne príležitosť vyšetriť „náhodnú“ smrť oboch svojich rodičov, ku ktorej došlo práve tam. Jej plán? Príliš nevytŕčať a potrestať zodpovedných. Posledné, čo potrebuje, je zapliesť sa do mafiánskej vojny alebo stúpiť na prsty členom kráľovskej rodiny.
Všetko sa začne komplikovať, keď sa nepohodne s tajomným Alexom Corbeauom-Greenom, synom jej hlavného podozrivého. Podľa nej je Alex len mladšia verzia svojho miliardárskeho otca. Netvor ukrytý pod peknou fasádou.
Osamelosť bola roky Ofeliinou jedinou spoločníčkou. No keď ju začne niekto prenasledovať, uvedomí si, že sama na Sorrowsongu možno neprežije. Práve Alex sa stane jej spojencom – a poskytne jej alibi na čas ďalšej vraždy na univerzite. A keď sa zaľúbi do jeho mäkkého srdca, ktoré sa skrýva pod tvrdou škrupinou, jej túžba po pomste začne opadať.
Dokáže sa prinútiť zničiť mu celý život?
Záhada. Vražda. Pomsta.
Vitajte na univerzite Sorrowsong.
Vlci skazy 1: Dire Bound – Puto zlovlka
Štvrté krídlo sa stretáva s Hrami o život v tejto pikantnej a napínavej romantasy, kde ľudia a zlovlci vytvárajú nezlomné putá a bojujú o prežitie za každú cenu.
Vlčiu selekciu prežijú len tí, ktorí sú toho hodní. Ona riskuje svoj život – a svoje srdce –, aby bola jednou z nich.
PUTO ZLOVLKA JE NEZNIČITEĽNÉ.
AK SA MU VZOPRIEŠ, ČAKÁ ŤA SMRŤ.
Láska je to najnebezpečnejšie puto.
Meryn Cooperová odjakživa nenávidela vlčích jazdcov, elitných bojovníkov, ktorí vytvárajú mentálne putá s obrovskými, krutými zlovlkmi, na ktorých jazdia. Kým oni žijú v luxuse, Meryn sa zo všetkých síl snaží uživiť svoju rodinu v chudobnej štvrti. Keď jej malú sestru Saelu unesú za hranice nesmrteľné monštrá, proti ktorým jej krajina bojuje už stovky rokov, Merynin svet sa zrúti.
V zúfalom pokuse dostať sa za frontovú líniu a zachrániť svoju sestru sa Meryn prihlási do armády a zrazu sa ocitne uprostred smrtiacej vlčej selekcie, kde ju akákoľvek chyba bude stáť život. Teraz musí Meryn prežiť štyri mesiace výcviku na hrade. Je pripútaná k divokej vlčici, ktorá s ňou odmieta komunikovať. Ostatní kadeti by s radosťou preliali jej krv a chladný a príťažlivý inštruktor Stark Therion ju neváha potrestať za akúkoľvek slabosť.
Všetko je súťaž a všetci ju chcú dostať – všetci okrem nebezpečne pekného korunného princa, ktorého pozornosť jej kreslí na chrbát ďalší terč. Na hrade sa za každým úsmevom skrýva nôž… a na chodbách číhajú temné tajomstvá.
Je to puto alebo utrpenie.
Boj alebo skon.
Zlyhanie znamená skazu.

Seattle Serpents 5: Presný zásah
Túto sezónu mám iba dva ciele:
1. Dokázať Seattle Serpents, že nie som len nejaký starec.
2. Nepodľahnúť kapitánovej nevlastnej sestre.
Na moju obranu, keď sme sa zoznámili, nemal som potuchy, kto Vanessa je. Stretli sme sa v inom meste. Ako som mal tušiť, že zvádzam nevlastnú sestru spoluhráča?
Teraz je v Seattli. Spamätáva sa z rozvodu a zdá sa, že tu plánuje ostať. Celú situáciu by som zvládal s prehľadom, keby sa mi neustále nevynárali spomienky na našu spoločnú noc. Pravdou však je, že ju nedokážem dostať z hlavy. A keď zistím, že nemá kde bývať, okamžite jej ponúknem hosťovskú izbu.
Sme iba spolubývajúci. Žiadne postranné úmysly. Až kým neporušíme všetky pravidlá.
Nahovárame si, že ide o nezáväznú zábavu. Lenže hranice nezáväznosti sme dávno prekročili. Všetko naberá príliš skutočné vážne kontúry. Jej brat navyše netuší, že spolu bývame... a už vôbec nevie, že pre ňu pomaly, ale isto strácam hlavu.
Môj plán sústrediť sa výhradne na sezónu je definitívne v ťahu.

Presilová hra - Séria DC Hviezdy
Piper Mitchellová potrebuje, aby jej konečne vyšlo aspoň niečo. Je rozvedená, v práci uviazla na mŕtvom bode a desí ju návrat do sveta randenia. Preto sa rozhodne pracovať na tom, čo dokáže mať pod kontrolou: naučiť sa byť dobrá v posteli.
Na scénu prichádza Liam Sullivan. Hviezdny brankár NHL možno nie je práve najspoločenskejší typ, ale ako učiteľ je dokonalý. Vie presne, čo robí za zatvorenými dverami, a po troche presviedčania súhlasí, že bude Piper sprevádzať.
Je to nezáväzné a jednoduché. Niečo, z čoho môžu ťažit obaja. A keď sa výlet do Vegas skončí tým, že sa Piper a Liam zobudia po noci, na ktorú sa nepamätajú, s rovnakými svadobnými obrúčkami na rukách, rozhodnú sa zistiť, koľko zábavy by ich mohlo čakať ako manželov.
Je to len na hokejovú sezónu. Nič to neznamená. Čas ich falošného manželstva s výhodami sa však neúprosne kráti. Budú vedieť Piper s Liamom fungovať aj v skutočnom svete? Alebo sa ich vzťah skončí ako riskantná presilovka, rovno katastrofou?
