Podsvětí Chicaga 6: Těžká koruna
Když Sebastian Gallo zahlédl, jak ji ten chlap cpe do kufru, nemohl tomu uvěřit. Byla to Jelena Jenina, jediná dcera nejkrutějšího šéfa Bratvy v Chicagu. Bratva nenávidí celou Sebastianovu rodinu a jeho strýčka dokonce upálili zaživa.
Měl Jelenu ponechat jejímu osudu, ale ona bojovala jako Valkýra – nádherná, divoká a nezlomná. Sebastian ji musel zachránit. A poté, co to mezi nimi velmi silně zajiskřilo, je mu jasné, že si ji musí také podmanit.
Jelena je odhodlaná nepodrobit se žádnému muži. Na druhou stranu ji už ale nebaví být pěšákem v otcově hře. Zatímco jejich rodiny vedou nelítostný boj po celém městě, hýbou figurkami na šachovnici a přísahají si pomstu, Sebastian se rozhodne, že bude zápasit o její srdce a svobodu – ať to stojí, co to stojí.
Ví, že jsou si souzeni.
A aby to dokázal, dotlačí ji až na hranici možností.

Japanese Gothic
2025
Lee can't remember exactly where he hid the body, but he can remember the blood. Hiding out at his father's centuries-old home in Japan, Lee knows something is wrong with him, and he knows it has something to do with his mother's disappearance almost a decade ago.
1877
A female samurai, Sen, stalks the borders of her home to protect her family from slaughter after the abolition of the samurai class. She's not sure how they'll ever survive, not without her father, who has returned from war with a different soul behind his eyes.
When Lee and Sen find one another through a door between their worlds, they're both looking for answers.
But what they find in the creaking old house they share is beyond what either of them could imagine ...
All Rhodes Lead Here - Minden út hozzád vezet
Egy kisváros a hegyekben. Egy második esély. Egy szerelem, ami hazavezet. Aurora De La Torre pontosan tudja, hogy nem lesz egyszerű visszaköltözni a coloradói Pagosa Springsbe. Valaha ez volt az otthona, most azonban édesanyja elvesztésének fájó emlékét őrzi. Mindent újrakezdeni enélkül sem lenne egyszerű feladat. De miután hosszú idő után szakított híres zenész pasijával, egy hegyi kisváros tökéletes menedék lehet összetört szívének. És talán a szomszédban lakó vonzó főbérlője látványa is segíthet a gyógyulásban. Csakhogy nem is Tobias Rhodes adta ki neki a lakást, hanem a kamasz fia, Amos. Rhodes mogorva, zárkózott férfi, aki vérmesen óvja a családját, és nem bízik az idegenekben, így kezdetben igyekszik távol tartani magától a mindig derűs Orát. Ám a közös erdei túrák és kandalló melletti hosszú beszélgetések lassan lebontják a falakat köztük – és szoros barátságuk hamarosan életre szóló szerelemmé mélyül. A slow burn romantikus könyvek királynője, Mariana Zapata újdonsága arról mesél, hogyan talál rá az ember a szerelemre a legváratlanabb pillanatban…

Luxusní klec
Prodat své panenství?
Ten nápad mě zaujal už ve chvíli, kdy jsem četla o Američance, která to udělala. Získala svobodu, peníze i jistotu. Tak proč bych nemohla i já? Chudá holka přece nemá co ztratit. Jenže nabídka, která mi přistála v emailu, nebyla obyčejná. Zalíbila jsem se bohatému šejkovi – a on je zvyklý dostat všechno, co chce.
Neomezený luxus, opulentní svět Orientu a přepych, jaký si neumím ani představit… Stačí jen trocha lásky. Nebo spíš poslušnosti?

The Seven OClock Club
At seven oclock one Tuesday evening, in a perfectly ordinary London tower block, Callum, Freya, Mischa and Victoria meet for the first time.

Connections form, friendship, and even love, begins to bloom as the group all work towards a brighter future that leaves their pasts behind them.

A Guide to Southern Utah's Hole-in-the-Rock Trail
New Edition! In 1879, 230 settlers in southwestern Utah heeded the call from leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to pull up stakes and move to the distant San Juan country of southeastern Utah. Their year-long journey became one of the most extraordinary wagon trips ever undertaken in North America, their trail one of peril, difficulty, and spectacular vistas. Beginning in Cedar City, Utah, this trail crosses today’s Dixie National Forest, skirts Bryce Canyon National Park, bisects the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, crosses the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and comes close to Natural Bridges National Monument on its way to Bluff, Utah. Though the trail that these devoted pioneers broke across raw frontier was used for several years afterward, no highway was built over most of the route because it was deemed too rugged for modern vehicles. In addition to the historical value of the story of these pioneers, this guide includes road logs, maps, and hiking trails along the historic trail. It also points out fascinating natural history along the way, making A Guide to Southern Utah’s Hole-in-the-Rock Trail a significant reference for a variety of readers.
A Four-Eyed World
An engaging and informative cultural history of glasses that explores their origins, stigmas, future in technology, and more. Eyeglasses have become so commonplace we hardly think about them—unless we can’t find them. Yet glasses have been controversial throughout history. Roger Bacon pioneered using lenses to see and then spent a decade in a medieval prison for advocating that he could “fix” God’s creations by improving our eyesight. Even today, people take off their glasses before having their picture taken, despite how necessary they are. A Four-Eyed World: How Glasses Changed the Way We See is the first book to investigate the experience of wearing glasses and contacts and their role in culture. David King Dunaway encourages readers to take a look at how they literally see the world through what they wear. He explores everything from the history of deficient eyesight and how glasses are made to portrayals of those who wear glasses in media, the stigma surrounding them, and the future of augmented and virtual reality glasses, highlighting how glasses have shaped, and continue to shape, who we are. Interwoven is Dunaway’s own experience of spending a week without his glasses, which he has used since childhood, to see the world around him and his newfound appreciation for his visual aids. This is the story of how we see the world and how our ability to see things has evolved, ultimately asking: How have two cloudy, quarter-sized discs of crystal or glass originally riveted together become so essential to human existence? Shakespeare famously said eyes are windows to the soul, but what about people who see only by covering theirs with glasses? Readers will find out together through this fascinating and insightful cultural history of one of humanity’s greatest inventions.

Decisions on Western Waters
The long-running Decisions Series tackles the Brown Water Navy. At the outset of the Civil War, General Winfield Scott drafted the Anaconda Plan, an ambitious strategy to blockade southern ports and use army forces supported by naval gunboats to secure control of the Mississippi River for the Union, effectively dividing the Confederacy in two. Over the course of the campaign, General Grant's ground forces closely cooperated with river forces under the leadership of Flag Officers Andrew H. Foote and David Dixon Porter, as well as Rear Admiral David Farragut, to successfully seize Confederate strongholds along the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Their gunboats and ironclads became known as the Brown Water Navy. This long, successful Federal campaign succeeded in opening the Mississippi River with the capture of New Orleans and the Confederate capitulation of Vicksburg. Decisions on Western Waters explores the critical decisions made by Confederate and Federal politicians and commanders during the campaign that shaped its outcome. Rather than offering a linear history of the campaign, Michael D. Becker homes in on decisions made by both sides of the contest to provide a clear blueprint of the campaign development and conduct at its tactical core. Exploring the decisions in this manner allows students of the campaign to progress from a knowledge of what happened to a mature grasp of why events happened. Complete with maps and a driving tour, Decisions on Western Waters is an indispensable primer to the campaign on the western waterways, and readers looking for a concise introduction to the battles can tour this sacred ground—or read about it at their leisure—with key insights into the campaign and a deeper understanding of the Civil War itself. Decisions on Western Waters is the twenty-third in a series of books that explores the critical decisions of major campaigns and battles of the Civil War.
