Loverboy - A sármőr (Company 2.)
Titkok, vágyak és remek piték. Ez a vállalat mindennapi munkájának része.
Régebben én voltam a rossz környékről származó kemény srác, akinek soha semmiben nem volt szerencséje. Posy pedig egy elkényeztetett kislány, akit le akartam nyűgözni. Csak egyetlen csókot kaptam tőle, mielőtt el kellett hagynom a várost.
Most azonban újra itt vagyok, és fordult a kocka. Posy egy pitézőt vezet, ám gondokkal küszködik. Én pedig egy titkos, milliárddolláros biztonsági cég alelnöke vagyok. Utóbbit persze nem mondhatom el neki.
New Yorkban egy gyilkos garázdálkodik, és úgy tűnik, sok időt tölt Posy üzletében. Az a feladatom, hogy azonosítsam, mielőtt Posynak baja esik. Nem az én ötletem volt, hogy az új baristájának álcázzam magam. Még csak nem is kávézom. De most „főnöknek” kell szólítanom, és mindent meg kell tennem, amit ez a csinos, maximalista nő kér tőlem. Már el is felejtettem, mennyire idegesítjük egymást, ám valahogy mégis egyszerre tölt el vágyakozással és kerget az őrületbe.
A titkos műveletekben én vagyok a legjobb. El tudom kapni ezt a gyilkost. Miután vettem egy hideg zuhanyt, és miután rájöttem, hogyan kell borsmentás lattét készíteni macska formájú tejhabbal a tetején…
Kockáztass mindent egy szerelemért!
Szereted az érzéki, de tartalmas könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan, tetszeni fog!
Fiatal nőknek, felső korhatár nélkül!
Thorn
A story of love and imagination, of metaphysics and politics, of empathy and mystery, it’s curious and compelling. Alice in Wonderland meets Kurt Vonnegut in a tale of surreal teenage turmoil.Shouldn’t she be in her body?Shouldn’t she be her body?That was the first clue she had that something had gone sideways.Thorn wakes up one morning hovering over her own body. Watching herself go about her days from a distance, she bounces around her past, present and future, gradually putting together the pieces of her life. Through love and resistance, Thorn is faced with how she sees herself, and must figure out if the things that mattered before are what are really important.Cover illustration by Simon Pemberton, interior illustration by Milly Chapple.
Gucci - Egy sikeres dinasztia története
Patricia Gucci titokban született: szerelemgyerek volt, akinek születése könnyen romba dönthette volna édesapja karrierjét. Aldo nem engedhetett meg magának egy nyilvános botrányt, azonban nem volt képes ellenállni Patricia édesanyja iránti hatalmas szerelmének.
Szerelmét, Brunát akkor ismerte meg, amikor a fiatal lány munkát vállalt az első római Gucci-üzletben. Teherbe esése után Aldo Gucci, a problémákat elkerülendő, Londonba menekítette Brunát, hogy később újszülött gyermekével együtt diszkréten visszacsempéssze Rómába, az olasz hatóságok, a média és a Gucci család előtt teljes titokban.
Ez a könyv Patricia szüleinek elhallgatott szerelmi történetét tárja elénk a szerző személyes emlékeire, szüleinek összegyűjtött szerelmes leveleire és az édesanyjával folytatott beszélgetésekre, valamint a korábban nem publikált archív fényképekre támaszkodva. Szüleinek viharos történetét édesapjához fűződő személyes viszonyának elbeszélésével szövi át: attól kezdve, hogyan töltötte életének első évtizedét legnagyobb részt rejtőzködve, elszigetelten a világtól, majd hogyan vált a Gucci szóvivőjévé és apjának, Aldónak legfiatalabb tanítványává. Az Olaszországon, Anglián és Amerikán átívelő történet szerelemről és veszteségről, árulásról és hűségről szól, amely a Gucci családi vállalkozásként megélt hatvan évének legviharosabb időszakában játszódik.
Vadak szigete
A szirének gyilkosok. A farkasok szerint.
A farkasok szörnyetegek. A szirének szerint.
Ez a sziget igazsága.
Amikor halott farkaskölyköket sodor partra a víz, a falka a sziréneket vádolja.
Hadran, a sziget alfája foglyul ejt egyet közülük, hogy kihallgassa - és egyetlen dolgot tud biztosan: a lány szörnyeteg. A falkája védelméért bármit megtenne. Még akkor is, ha ehhez életben kell tartania egy szirént - egy lányt, aki tele van daccal, titkokkal és valami megmagyarázhatatlan erővel, ami veszélyesen magához vonzza.
Aureen a tenger gyermeke. Egy olyan világból érkezik, ahol a farkasok rémtörténetekből ismert szörnyetegek. Amikor fogságba esik a sziget leghatalmasabb alfájánál, rá kell döbbennie, hogy az igazság sokkal sötétebb… és sokkal személyesebb, mint valaha hitte.
Hadran nem kegyelmez az ellenségeinek.
Aureen nem hódol be egy fenevadnak.
Csakhogy van valami, ami egyikük terveiben sem szerepelt.
A köztük feszülő, veszélyesen izzó vonzalom.
Miközben a szigetet egyre sötétebb fenyegetés uralja, Hadran rájön, hogy a legnagyobb ellenségük talán nem a tenger mélyén rejtőzik.
Mi történik, ha a vadász rájön, hogy a prédája nélkül ő sem élhet?
Mi van, ha a gyűlölt szörnyeteg az egyetlen, aki megmentheti a népét?
És megmenti-e a népét… ha az ára az, hogy végeznie kell a szerelmével?

This Door of the Seas
The Darien Venture was the singular event at the end of the seventeenth century that fundamentally altered Scotland’s future. It took place on the other side of the world, amid the jungle-coastline at the junction between the continents of North and South America. And most of us know next to nothing about it. Now it’s time to remedy that. Award-winning novelist Val McDermid and Geographer Royal for Scotland Jo Sharp unite in this revelatory novella to trace the story of Scotland’s only trading colony, which turned from a dream of prosperity to a nightmare that bankrupted an already impoverished nation and propelled it towards political union with England. Written as a series of letters home from expedition scientist Dr James Wallace to his wife Eliza and Sir Robert Sibbald, the first Geographer Royal, this epistolary tale offers a devastating account of the forces that doomed the endeavour and completely changed the history of the British Isles in the process.

The Prime of Bertie Pollock
To find out where we are going, we sometimes need to find out where we came from. Sister Maria-Fiore dei Fiori Montagna, who is suffering from an acute identity crisis, wants to know more about her own past, and after doing a DNA test, she discovers that she has a relative she didn’t know about. But her new-found family causes a rift between her and her flatmate, Antonia Collie. Can they work out their difference? or Bruce, it’s a case of history repeating itself. After getting all the attention he craves – landing a starring role in a new television series – the universe has one way of putting him in his place. Even in a modern Scotland, lurking Calvinist tendencies might still strike. And Bertie’s dream of getting to the promised land – the Dear Green Place – comes crashing down as he learns that he is to move to the far North East, leaving poor Ranald Braveheart Macpherson a little heartbroken and lost. But upon his return to Edinburgh, the boys take a trip to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, and Bertie’s kindness gets a very royal recognition.

Destroyer of Worlds
**A Guardian Best Science and Nature Book of 2025**
From the award-winning science writer, a new history of the development of nuclear power and the extraordinary minds behind it
Henry Becquerel's accidental discovery, in Paris in 1896, of a faint smudge on a photographic plate sparked a chain of discoveries which would unleash the atomic age.
Destroyer of Worlds is the story of how pursuit of this hidden source of nuclear power, which began innocently and collaboratively, was overwhelmed by the politics of the 1930s, and following devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki opened the way to a still more terrible possibility: a thermonuclear bomb, the so-called "backyard weapon", that could destroy all life on earth - from anywhere.
The story spans decades and continents, moving from Becquerel to Ernest Rutherford, the Cambridge-based, New Zealand scientist who first split the atom, expands to include Enrico Fermi in Rome, Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner in Berlin and the Joliot-Curies in Paris, leading to the appearance of Robert Oppenheimer before climaxing with increasingly horrifying developments in the USA and USSR. The roles of three remarkable women - Lise Meitner, Ida Noddack and Irene Curie - are re-evaluated, and there are new insights into the work of Ettore Majorana, Fermi's mercurial but brilliant assistant, who mysteriously disappeared in 1938, possibly after foreseeing the explosive power of nuclear energy. Above all, this is a story of how knowledge is often advanced by personal convictions and relationships, an indeed by chance, in a remarkable way.
