A legnagyobb kísértés
Csábító idegen Amikor megismerkedtem Dawson Reeddel, rögtön egy ágyban kötöttünk ki. A gond az volt, egyikünk sem tudta, hogy a másik is az ágyban van. Mikor az éjszaka közepén felébredtem, és egy vadidegen feküdt mellettem, az ösztöneimre hallgatva rátámadtam a betolakodóra.
Azonban hamar kiderült, hogy ő is kibérelte a kunyhót. Egy rendszerhiba miatt dupla foglalás történt. És természetesen a függetlenség napi ünnep miatt sehol nem lehet szobát kapni. Hamarosan azt is megtudtuk, ugyanarra az esküvőre vagyunk hivatalosak, és Dawson az a tanú, akivel kapcsolatban figyelmeztettek, hogy legyek óvatos. Magas volt, sötét hajú és elképesztően jóképű, pont olyan, amilyennek a legjobb barátnőm leírta. Bár abban is igaza volt, hogy utálni fogjuk egymást. Azt hiszem, a helyzet lehetne rosszabb is, mint hogy egy kunyhón kell osztoznom egy jóképű férfival, akit megvetek. Például, kiderül, hogy ő az új főnököm…
Vi Keeland New York Times, Wall Street Journal és USA Today bestsellerszerző történetében a vágy felperzseli a határokat, és csak az érzelmek maradnak. De vajon érdemes rájuk hallgatni?
Baljós rajzok
Mallory Quinn bébiszitterként vállal munkát Ted és Caroline Maxwellnél, az ötéves fiukra, Teddyre kell vigyáznia. Mallory repes az örömtől. Őszintén kötődik Teddyhez, az aranyos, félénk kisfiúhoz, aki nem tud meglenni a vázlatfüzete és a ceruzája nélkül. Ám egy napon a szokásos fák, nyuszik, léghajók helyett valami mást rajzol: egy férfi egy nő élettelen testét vonszolja az erdőben. Teddy rajzai egyre baljóslatúbbá válnak, miközben a pálcikafigurák realista emberalakokká válnak, amelyek messze meghaladják egy ötéves gyermek képességeit. Mallory egyre inkább gyanakodni kezd. Talán valamilyen természetfeletti erő próbál meg Teddy rajzain keresztül üzenni egy múltbeli megoldatlan bűntényről? Tisztában van vele, mekkora őrültségnek tűnik mindez, mégis nekilát, hogy megfejtse a képek jelentését, és megmentse Teddyt, mielőtt túl késő lenne. A világsiker a magyar olvasók számára ráadásul egészen különleges meglepetéseket tartogat.

Until You - Nélküled (Fall Away 2.)
A Szívatásban megismerhettük Tate történetét. Most Jareden a sor, hogy feltárja a sajátját...
Voltál már olyan dühös, hogy jólesett megütni valamit? Előfordult veled, hogy nem éreztél semmit? Az utóbbi néhány évem erről szólt. A düh és a közöny két véglete között ingázom, átmenet nélkül.
Néhányan utálnak ezért, míg mások félnek tőlem. De senki nem árthat nekem, mert semmi és senki nem érdekel. Tatumot leszámítva.
Annyira szeretem, hogy már gyűlölöm. Utálom, hogy képtelen vagyok elengedni. Régen barátok voltunk, de rájöttem, hogy nem bízhatok meg sem benne, sem másban. Ezért bántottam. Ellöktem magamtól.
Mégis szükségem van rá. Ő a biztos pont az életemben. Kizárólag akkor érzek valamit, amikor belekötök, veszekszem vele, vagy szívatom. De elment, és ezzel mindent elcseszett. Egy évig távol volt,
és más emberként tért haza. Ha most bántom, visszatámad… és nem tudom, hogyan fogjuk ezt mindketten túlélni.

Streetwise
From the long-tenured head Goldman Sachs - an institution legendary for its culture of success - comes a candid memoir of global leadership in an age of extreme turbulence'Lloyd Blankfein is scary smart about people, markets, and life generally. During the 2008-2009 financial crisis, Lloyd acted decisively, and he tells the story of what happened with unique insights' WARREN BUFFETT'A sharp insider's guide to the era of when the financial industry spun out of control before nearly collapsing, then getting larger than ever ... As much as a Wall Street story, it is a wider narrative of culture and leadership' FINANCIAL TIMES When Lloyd Blankfein was attacked as a Wall Street fat cat, he had to smile, thinking of his precarious childhood in the notorious public housing projects of East New York, Brooklyn, and attending a high school so chaotic he didn't feel safe leaving class to go to the bathroom in his time there. Harvard University was a total moonshot, and his outsider status never wore off, there or at Harvard Law. When he struck people as street-y, it wasn't Wall Street they were thinking of. But if the chip never quite left Blankfein's shoulder, neither did a wry, resilient spirit and a lucid, democratic intelligence that saw through airs and found talent and ideas in unlikely places. Streetwise is a delightfully honest, sharp and often very funny reckoning with Blankfein's education - in finance, human nature and the workings of the world. It abounds with lessons about leading teams of brilliant, aggressive, competitive people and harmonising them around shared goals; changing when times are hard and when they're good; managing risk; and knowing a crisis is at hand before it swamps you so you can guide your team to the further shore. Blankfein is famed for his calm hand on Goldman Sachs's tiller during the global financial crisis, and that story is told in full here, among many other decisive episodes. A powerful blueprint for the wise stewardship of a cause that is larger than yourself, Streetwise will inspire and inform readers throughout the global business community and beyond.
The First Ghetto
A sweeping, riveting history of the Venetian Ghetto, the world’s first Jewish ghetto. 'Brilliantly researched and deeply moving' - Roger Crowley, author of City of Fortune'Alexander Lee combines expertise in Venetian history, with sensibility to the Jewish past, and a gift for story-telling. Highly recommended' - Professor Miri Rubin, author of Cities of StrangersIn the early sixteenth century, amidst the ruins of war, and in an atmosphere of religious hatred, the world’s first Jewish ‘ghetto’ was established in Venice. Constrained in cramped, often insanitary conditions, the Jews who were forced to live there were extorted, abused and subjected to countless humiliating restrictions. Before long, Venice’s Ghetto became the prototype for ghettos throughout Europe, paving the way for a more vicious and enduring form of antisemitism. Yet the Ghetto’s story is also a testament of hope. Despite all they faced through the centuries, its residents thrived, creating a flourishing literary, musical and religious community. They sustained Venice’s economy – and, as more migrants arrived, the Ghetto became a microcosm of the Jewish world. Historian Alexander Lee traces this vivid story from the first Jewish arrivals in the early fourteenth century to the present day, reconstructing the Ghetto through the eyes of its inhabitants – from the domestic squabbles of a sixteenth-century rabbi to the agonising wait of a family bound for Auschwitz. Authoritative, detailed and incomparably intimate, The First Ghetto offers a fitting monument to the Ghetto’s past – and powerful lessons for the future.
Trafalgar
A vivid and visceral portrayal of the most famous naval battle in history, focusing on the human cost of war, by a brilliant military historianAt or about 1.15 in the afternoon of 21 October 1805, Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson was struck by a 22-gramme, 15-millimetre French musket round fired down from the mizzen top of the Redoutable, a distance of some 70 feet to HMS Victory’s quarter deck. It nicked the edge of his epaulette, and passed diagonally down, through the material of his coat and into the left shoulder, fracturing the upper part of the scapula or shoulder blade, then the second and third rib. It pierced the left lung, dividing a branch of the pulmonary artery, and emerged to sever the spine, splintering the sixth and seventh vertebrae above and below as it crashed between. The soft lead ball – distorted by collisions with bone – ended its flight embedded in muscle two inches below the right scapula.In this fresh and visceral retelling of the battle of Trafalgar, Paul O’Keeffe traces the course of events both prior and subsequent to that fatal shot: from about 6.30 in the morning, as the British ships began their slow approach towards the combined French and Spanish fleet, until the cessation of firing that followed the apocalyptic destruction of the French 74-gun Achille at 5.45 in the afternoon.But we also learn about the battle’s dramatic aftermath: how a violent storm that raged for eight days destroyed the surviving French and Spanish ships and drowned more sailors than had been killed during battle; how news of victory travelled and was celebrated in London; how Nelson’s body was brought home and given a spectacular funeral.Paying meticulous attention to the peripheral – and little explored – details, O’Keeffe gives us a front-row view of events; and in his unflinching portrayal of the brutal reality of naval warfare, he tells the story of the human cost of war. Gripping and immersive, this is a unique account of Trafalgar for a new generation of readers.

Lies We Tell About the Stars
Celeste Muldoon is alone when the Big One finally hits San Francisco, because, for the first time ever, her best friend, Nicky, stood her up after school. The two of them share a birthday, matching tattoos, an obsession with the upcoming Mars mission, dreams of MIT, and pretty much everything else. So why didn’t he meet her the way they’d planned?
The earthquake has a huge death toll, and Nicky and Celeste's parents fear the worst, but Celeste doesn’t buy it. Nicky spent their senior year selling essays to rich kids and was about to be exposed. Celeste knows he had a plan to vanish, reinvent himself and escape the disaster he’d created, but can’t convince anyone else that he could still be alive. Only Meo, a mysterious boy Nicky was somehow mixed up with, seems to believe, but she has every reason to distrust him – even if her heart races every time he shows up.
When Celeste finds Nicky’s notebook, it sends her and Meo on a quest across her broken city, up the coast through towns sheltering quake refugees, and eventually all the way to Florida, where the mission to Mars is about to lift off.
Is a River Alive
From celebrated writer Robert Macfarlane comes this brilliant, perspective-shifting new book – which answers a resounding yes to the question of its title.
At its heart is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings – who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Is a River Alive? takes the reader on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept.
The book flows first to northern Ecuador, where a miraculous cloud-forest and its rivers are threatened by goldmining.
Then, to the wounded rivers, creeks and lagoons of southern India, where a desperate battle to save the lives of these waterbodies is under way.
And finally, to north-eastern Quebec, where a spectacular wild river – the Mutehekau or Magpie – is being defended from death by damming in a river-rights campaign.
At once Macfarlane’s most personal and most political book to date, Is a River Alive? will open hearts, spark debates and lead us to the revelation that our fate flows with that of rivers – and always has
