The Dice Was Loaded from the Start
'Tremendous. An actually funny comic novel as propulsive as any thriller. With savage wit, integrity and tenderness, Annand exposes the complacent nostalgia of a sandwich generation, offering both an elegy and, most impressively, a hope for change. The Dice Was Loaded from the Start is the most fun I've had all year' MATT GREENE, author of The Definitions'David Annand's brilliant comedy of manners is a Howards End for contemporary London . . . Funny, truthful and bracing' NEIL STEWART, author of Test Kitchen'The Dice Was Loaded from the Start is a sharp, witty and seductive read. Its grudges, passions, and aspirations simmer away, much like the tense inter-generational battleground at its centre. Young and old should read it and remind themselves that life is far too short to fall out, or flirt, with the neighbours' JUSTIN MYERS, author of The Glorious DeadIt's the summer of 2018. Max Anderson, in his early forties, has been living in Berlin for the past decade failing to become the filmmaker he was once tipped to be. But his wife's career is taking off, and with a generous relocation package on offer they've moved with their kids back to London. Not to the Hackney flat share that he left ten years ago but, somewhat bemusedly, into a rented home on a handsome tree-lined street in north London. Pemberton Place is populated by couples who have lived there since the seventies, who bought their houses for a song, raised their families, and now sit on a relative fortune. The Boomers, as Max thinks of them, are cultured and urbane, full of shared stories and storied pasts, and immediately take Max under their wing. Both flattered and amused, Max joins most evenings as they gather to drink wine and reminisce on glories past. Max is both insider and outsider, participant and observer: a position in which he feels disconcertingly comfortable. Then eight politically mischievous Millennials move in to an empty house on the street and upend this cosy equilibrium. With the Boomers in their crosshairs they make Pemberton Place a cause celebre, the front line in the generational battle of the haves and have nots. As the Millennials steadily up the ante and the Boomers try to assert their authority, Max - the street's sole Gen Xer - realises that everyone, eventually, has to pick a side. With wit and a propulsive pace, David Annand spins the battleground of the housing crisis into a brilliantly crafted study in intergenerational difference. The Dice Was Loaded from the Start asks: what does the good life look like? And how might we make meaning in an exhausted world?

Pán Masters
Je mocný, starší a je to môj šéf. Vražedná kombinácia.
Výraz spokojnosť v práci pri ňom nadobúda úplne nový význam.
Keď som klamala vo svojom životopise, nečakala som, že na tom bude záležať.
Veď každé dieťa ma jednoducho musí milovať. Narodila som sa pre to, aby som bola opatrovateľkou. Navyše, keď som sa uchádzala o miesto, myslela som si, že budem pracovať pre ženu. Lenže Julian Masters je poriadny kus chlapa... presne ten typ, o ktorom snívate, že z neho zlížete čokoládu.
Prvý deň bol zlý.
Deti boli ako sto čertov a ja som ho prichytila, ako robí niečo obscénne... a zároveň fascinujúce.
Druhý deň bol ešte horší.
Prichytil ma, ako snorím v jeho kúpeľňovej skrinke v krátkom pyžamku a rozpútalo sa peklo.
Na tretí deň...
... som ho prešla golfovým vozíkom.
No a na štvrtý deň...
... som sa rozhodla, že mám chuť na čokoládu... horúcu a roztopenú... na ňom.
Lenže inteligentní, ovdovení sudcovia sa nezvyknú zamilovať do bláznivých opatrovateliek. Alebo žeby predsa?
Krvavý erb, 2. vydanie
Obľúbená autorka historických romancí Jana Pronská nám vo svojom ôsmom románe približuje dramatické obdobie našich stredovekých dejín a na jeho pozadí rozohráva strhujúci príbeh o úkladoch, pomste a neľútostnom zápase o moc, ale predovšetkým o sile pravej lásky, za ktorú sa oplatí bojovať.
Eliz Zachovej, dcére veľmoža Feliciána Zacha, život doprial milujúcu rodinu, bohatého ctiteľa, privilegované postavenie, bohatstvo. Za jeden deň však prišla o všetko. Keď v kráľovskom paláci znásilnili jej sestru, zúfalý otec s mečom v ruke zaútočil na kráľa. Feliciána, ktorého pri útoku zabili, kráľ vyhlásil za vlastizradcu a jeho zneuctenú dcéru i ostatných príbuzných dal popraviť. Pre Eliz, ktorá len vďaka šťastnej náhode zostala nažive, sa začal boj o holý život.
Dominika Omodeja stihol podobný osud. Pred rokmi sa zachránil ako jediný mužský potomok kedysi mocného rodu, ktorý sa kráľ rozhodol vyhubiť, a stal sa vyvrheľom -- zbojníkom Zoranom. Zmariť kráľovu pomstu voči Zachovcom je preňho vecou cti, no keď sa podujme Eliz zachrániť, neráta s tým, že odvážnej dievčine sa podarí obmäkčiť jeho zatvrdnuté srdce, v ktorom dovtedy nebolo miesto pre lásku...

Profesionálny vyjednávač
Vyjednávanie je súčasťou nášho každodenného života – v priemere vyjednávame osemkrát denne, aj keď si to
často ani neuvedomujeme. A zvyčajne pri tom platí jednoduché pravidlo: ak nevyjednávame my, niekto iný vy-
jednáva za nás – a ak niekto iný vyjednáva za nás, šanca, že dostaneme to, čo skutočne chceme a potrebujeme,
dramaticky klesá.
Autor v knihe odhaľuje, ako preniesť princípy krízového policajného vyjednávania do každodenného bežného
života, či do sveta obchodu a podnikania, kde sú v hre peniaze, reputácia a udržateľné, dlhodobé vzťahy.
Zároveň ukazuje, že precízne použitie mäkkých zručností prináša rukolapné a merateľné výsledky.
Kniha je jedinečná v tom, že spája svet policajného „miesta činu“ s realitou biznis rokovaní. Odhaľuje stratégie,
mentálne protokoly a psychologické princípy, ktoré zvyšujú pravdepodobnosť dosiahnutia dohody aj tam, kde by
sa zdalo, že dohoda už nie je možná. V centre pozornosti stojí rešpektujúci mentálny koučing – disciplína, ktorá
mení vyjednávanie z taktického súboja na produktívnu sociálnu interakciu plnú empatie a racionálnej stratégie.
Profesionálny vyjednávač však nie je iba kniha o technikách. Je to aj pozvánka do sveta, kde sa z rokovaní stáva
umenie – umenie, ktoré mení nielen výsledky, ale aj človeka, ktorý ich dosahuje.

VITAJTE NA LUXUSNEJ VÝLETNEJ LODI!
Policajný psychológ Martin Schwartz prišiel pred piatimi rokmi za mysterióznych okolností o ženu a syna. Stalo sa to počas ich dovolenky na luxusnej zaoceánskej lodi Sultan of the Seas – nikto z posádky mu však nevedel vysvetliť, ako k tomu došlo. Martin je odvtedy psychicky na dne a vrhá sa ako utajený vyšetrovateľ do najnebezpečnejších policajných akcií, kde mu neraz ide o holý život.
Uprostred zásahu mu zatelefonuje čudácka stará dáma, ktorá sa predstaví ako autorka trilerov. Presviedča ho, že sa bezpodmienečne musí nalodiť na Sultána, pretože našla dôkaz, čo sa asi prihodilo jeho rodine. Martin sa zaprisahal, že nikdy nevkročí na loď.
Keď sa dozvie, že na lodi sa objavilo dievčatko s medvedíkom jeho syna v náručí, ktoré zmizlo pred niekoľkými mesiacmi, neváha a vyberie sa na loď.
Fogoly 2. - Éldekorált kiadás
A hatalmi harcok által dúlt Scott-dinasztia válaszút előtt áll.
Egy év telt el azóta, hogy Asher elűzte Ellát az életéből. A fiatal lány lelkén ejtett sebek lassan gyógyulásnak indulnak, miközben a férfi képtelen kiverni a fejéből a kék szempár emlékét. Azonban a világ egyik legveszélyesebb bűnszövetkezete, a Scott-hálózat vezetője túl büszke ahhoz, hogy megkeresse Ellát. Egészen addig, amíg útjaik újra keresztezik egymást.
Asheren eluralkodik a birtoklási vágy, és elhatározza, hogy újra lángra lobbantja Ella, az ő „angyala” szerelmét - ám azzal nem számol, hogy saját érzései is fellángolnak.
Ahogy azzal sem, hogy Ella nem bocsátotta meg neki, amit vele művelt. És bár Ash jó ideig uralta Ella szívét, ez az angyal most mindent megtesz, hogy felégesse a férfi világát - akkor is, ha a lángviharba ő is belevész.
Sarah Rivens francia dark romance szenzációja, a Fogoly második része érzelmekkel és fordulatokkal teli, sötét olvasmány.

Gyémánt az árnyékban
Mert néha éppen a legsötétebb helyeken csiszolódik a legfényesebb gyémánt...
Egy lány, aki túl fiatal ahhoz, hogy ennyi terhet cipeljen.
Egy fiú, aki nem törődik a szabályokkal, de a felszín alatt a saját múltja tartja fogva.
Amikor Faye nagymamája kórházba kerül, a tizenhét éves lány élete darabokra hullik. Az egyetlen lehetősége a túlélésre, ha elfogadja a bejárónői állást egy zárt világban, melynek szabályai könyörtelenek. Csakhogy egyvalaki elkerüli a számításait: Anthony Martins - a család kisebbik fia. A mosolya veszélyes, a tekintete csábító, a múltját pedig sötét árnyék borítja.
Faye és Anthony között a kezdetektől szikrázik a feszültség. A fiú mindent megtesz, hogy elűzze a lányt, de Faye-nek túl sok múlik ezen az álláson. Az összezártság lassan ledönti a köztük húzódó falakat, és ahogy telnek a napok, már egyikük sem tudja tagadni az egymás iránt érzett veszélyes, és ellenállhataltan vágyat. De vajon mi történik, ha a múlt titkai és az előre eltervezett jövő megpróbálja szétválasztani őket?
Két világ. Egy tiltott szerelem. És egy döntés, ami mindent megváltoztathat.
Vajon meddig mennek el egymásért azok, akiknek sosem lett volna szabad találkozniuk?
