Wifehouse
"Je suis femme maison."
"You are a wifehouse? Oh, a housewife. Je suis une femme au foyer."
"Wow, that actually sounds worse in French. Let's go with je suis mere."
He is drenched in youth, this young man, she thinks. He is soaked in all its possibilities.
Following years of a life lived as a wife and mother, Annie is gifted French lessons with twenty-six-year-old local French tutor, Thierry. As time passes and the lessons progress, she finds herself unexpectedly vulnerable to the charms of a man closer in age to her teenage daughter than to her own. A new life for Annie emerges, one she could never have foreseen . . .
Told over the course of one year through the shifting perspectives of wife, husband, lover, best friend and children, Walger paints a contradictory, nuanced portrait of a woman who walks away from every role that tradition and society have expected of her.

She broke his heart. Now it's time he destroys her.
Tierney
There's a bullet with my name on it. And Achilles Ferrante is the man who'll pull the trigger. I'd always known one of us would kill the other. I'd just hoped to do the honor.
Twice I betrayed him. First, I broke his heart. Then, I sold him out to the Feds. Even if I hadn't, I doubt he could spell mercy, much less spare me any.
The Camorra prince promised he'd make a spectacle of my death when he caught me. Let him try. He could chase me until the end of Earth.
I will always run faster.
Achilles
To love is to destroy, and I'd loved Tierney Callaghan far too long, and far too much. She's a fatal weakness, but unlike the Greek mythology warrior - I will remain undefeated.
My little flame can run fast, but my bullet is faster.
Once upon a time, she was the only person who saw my humanity. She's about to meet the monster everyone else knows.

Pieces of the Night
From USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Hartmann comes an all-new, spicy and angsty rockstar romance.
***
I already had a life. A future. A man I'd promised forever to.
But the night I found Chase Rhodes - bleeding, broken, and more lost than I was - everything changed.
I wasn't supposed to let him in. Wasn't supposed to write music with him in secret beneath the moon.
What started as a quiet escape became something unstoppable. Our songs caught fire, and now the whole world knows our names.
Music has a way of pulling the broken together, even when the timing is impossible and the fallout inevitable.
But some hearts don't settle. Some songs were never meant to stay quiet.
Because the night I saved him was only the beginning.
And loving me might be the last risk he'll ever take.
Pieces of the Night is a masterclass in emotional storytelling, with a captivating blend of rockstar romance, a forbidden love triangle, and a slow-burn romance perfect for readers of high-angst, emotionally charged love stories.

Downward spiral
A forensic examination of ethical failure in the British government. Boris Johnson’s premiership was marked by scandals that deeply undermined public trust, from dubious PPE procurement to the ‘partygate’ revelations. How did this downward spiral take hold, and what would it take to reverse i? ohn Bowers KC offers a rigorous analysis of the erosion of ethical standards before, during and after the Johnson government. Drawing on interviews with insiders, he shows how accountability mechanisms were sidelined and how a culture of favouritism flourished, rooted in the assumption that those in power could be relied upon to regulate themselves. Although the Labour victory of July 2024 brought political change, the underlying system remains vulnerable. Downward Spiral sets out concrete proposals for a more transparent and accountable alternative. -- .

Skorzeny - Život na hraně, 3. vydání
„Láká mne neobyčejný způsob života,“ zapsal si vídeňský student Otto Skorzeny v době, kdy jeho tvář zdobila první jizva z buršáckého souboje. Jeho přání se naplnilo. Elitního příslušníka SS, Hitlerova osobního oblíbence a specialistu na nejtajnější operace (jen namátkou: osvobození Mussoliniho, únos Horthyho syna, pokusy o zabití Josipa Broze-Tita či nasazení německých jednotek v amerických uniformách při ardenské ofenzivě) nazval velitel spojeneckých armád generál Dwight D. Eisenhower „nejnebezpečnějším mužem Evropy“.
Autor svou předchozí knihu Já, Otto Skorzeny…! obohatil o dramatické zpracování poválečného období, kdy Otto Skorzeny v různých koutech světa splétal temnou pavučinu neonacistických a protidemokratických intrik. Skorzeny se během svého života mnohokrát stal záhadami opředenou legendou. Pohled pod její povrch je strhujícím příběhem člověka, který svou nespornou odvahu a inteligenci za všech okolností, tedy za války i po ní, nabídl do služeb zla.

Dočtete se například, kdo zavraždil dva řezníky u Kardašovy Řečice, proč musel zemřít oblíbený trafikant v Mladé Boleslavi rukou vraha, kdo zavraždil manželku učitele o jejím svátku v moravských Trstěnicích nebo proč došlo k vyvraždění selské rodiny ve středočeských Ježovicích. Dozvíte se, jaký zločin spáchal strážník Václav Hejkal a proč musela zemřít vražednou rukou stará chudobná prodavačka v Přerově nad Labem. Přečtete si, jak skončila nešťastná láska mladého tankisty na Olomoucku a také kdo zastřelil továrníka Klímu v pražské Bubenči. A protože osud si někdy rád trochu zažertuje, dozvíte se také, jak neslavně dopadlo vloupání tří lupičů do liberecké tržnice.

Miután túlélte a börtönben töltött éveket, hirtelen ismét a király elé rendelik. Illian alkut ajánl neki: ha kémként szolgálja őt a királyi találkozón, utána szabadon engedi.
Ahogy az uralkodó parancsai egyre véresebbé és kegyetlenebbé válnak - a lány pedig kénytelen elárulni és bántani a hozzá közel állókat - rájön, hogy a szörnyeteg, akit szolgál, talán csak alattvalója egy még nagyobb szörnyetegnek...
Miközben a világ, amelyet ismert, összeomlani készül, a volt táncos kénytelen szövetséget kötni Illian testvérével és legnagyobb ellenségével, Kelet hírhedt királyával.
Ahogy a két fivér közötti viszály elhatalmasodik, és ő két tűz közé kerül, múltjának rettenetes igazsága napvilágot lát. És ha túl akarja élni ezt a kalandot, el kell döntenie, kiben bízik, kiért harcol, és mennyit hajlandó feláldozni a lelkéből.

Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers
Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers tells the compelling story of the Jewish Brigade Infantry Group (JBG), a five-thousand-strong military unit, recruited primarily from the Jewish population of Palestine, and the only exclusively Jewish military unit to fight under the British flag during the Second World War. Gianluca Fantoni reconstructs the military and human experience of the brigade in Italy and investigates its enduring and controversial place in memory and public debate. Formed in 1944, the JBG saw combat in the final stages of the Italian campaign, where its soldiers fought with distinction against German forces. After the war, many of its members – who often had little or no military training, and included artists, scientists, and farmers – engaged in clandestine efforts to smuggle Holocaust survivors and weapons into Palestine, laying the groundwork for the future Israeli state. Others sought retribution against Nazis and collaborators in acts that revealed both the trauma of genocide and the desire for justice. Far more than a conventional military history, Soldiers, Angels, and Avengers is both a critical study of the political uses of history and a vivid, passionate narrative that brings to life the men and women of the brigade. Accessible and engaging, this book offers readers a rare lens through which to understand the intersections of war, memory, and politics in twentieth-century Europe.

Destiny spirals hard, retreating into the same delusional and dissociative patterns that landed her in psychiatric care as a child, but this time the breakdown culminates in a pregnancy that can’t possibly be real.

Bodies of Work
A chilling supernatural revenge novella from the acclaimed author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes. Perfect for fans of Joe Hill and Delilah S. Dawson. At sixty-six years old, Winston Kemper has always been a nonentity. No one notices him. His simple existence barely registers for those who come into contact with him. Some call him feeble-minded. He is a janitor at the local church, a groundskeeper by default, and that's it. No friends, no family. When he's done with work, he returns home-a remote, single room apartment located above a garage-and that is where his true work begins. Winston Kemper is a collector of voices, and his magnum opus-The Butterfly Girls-is a sprawling epic of untapped imagination. It has no single canvas, no particular frame. It is everywhere-scribbled on the walls, the floor, and countless notebooks. Winston is creating a fantasia which exists in words, images and blood. As part of his 'art' he has been murdering forgotten women. Poor souls who slip through the cracks of society, who no one's looking for. Mothers, sisters, daughters to someone, but no more. Winston takes their lives, their voices. But now he can hear them. They whisper to him. They talk of revenge. Winston Kemper might not believe in ghosts, but he is about to learn they are very real. And they are very, very angry.
