A Touch of Darkness
From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth.
"Let me worship you," he said.
She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it.
She answered, "Yes."
Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger.
Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist.
After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-a love that is both captivating and forbidden.
Two Boys Kissing
From the New York Times best-selling author of Every Day, another thoughtful and original perspective on relationships. 2014 Lambda literary award winner and 2014 Stonewall Honor Book, Two Boys Kissing explores how people fall in and out of love, and what is means to discover yourself. The two boys kissing are Craig and Harry. They're hoping to set the world record for the longest kiss. They're not a couple, but they used to be. Peter and Neil are a couple. Their kisses are different. Avery and Ryan have only just met and are trying to figure out what happens next. Cooper is alone. He's not sure how he feels. As the marathon progresses, these boys, their friends and families evaluate the changing nature of feelings, behaviour and this crazy thing called love under the watchful eyes of a Greek chorus of a generation of men lost to AIDS. David Levithan connects recent history with the present moment in a novel that is both a celebration of equality and a memorial to a lost generation. David is the New York Times best-selling author of Boy Meets Boy and Marly's Ghost. While among his many collaborations are Will Grayson, Will Grayson with Fault in Our Stars author John Green, and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist with Rachel Cohn, which became a major film. Tiny Cooper from Will Grayson, Will Grayson, now has his own novel: Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story. David is also a highly respected children's book editor, whose list includes many luminaries of children's literature, including Garth Nix, Libba Bray and Suzanne Collins. He lives and works in New York. Praise for Every Day: "Every Day is a wonder." (Patrick Ness, author of Chaos Walking trilogy and A Monster Calls).

Two Weeks Notice. Felmondólevél
GYŰLÖLÖM, HOGY SZERETEM?
Tisztelt Címzett!
Jelen levelemben hivatalosan is bejelentem a távozásomat a Parker Internationaltől (és az arrogáns, lekezelő vezérigazgatótól), kéthetes felmondási idővel. Döntésem meghozatala NAGYON KÖNNYŰNEK bizonyult, hiszen az elmúlt két év kifejezetten pocsék volt. A világ legnagyobb szerencséjét kívánom a következő menedzserasszisztensnek (szüksége lesz rá), s ha a főnököm bármit kérne tőlem a következő két hétben, legyen szíves a tudtára adni, hogy rohadtul csinálja meg egyedül...
Tisztelettel (igazából nem is):
Tara Lauren
Ilyen felmondólevelet kellett volna küldenem a főnökömnek, mert a hivatalosabb változatot, amelyikben „hálás vagyok minden lehetőségért", és „megtiszteltetés számomra az összes gyümölcsöző tapasztalat" – nos, azt visszadobta a szexi, önelégült félmosollyal, ami a védjegye. És hozzátette, hogy „határozottan javaslom, olvassa el az apró betűs részt a szerződésében". Tehát úgy is tettem.
És most rájöttem, hacsak nem adom elő, hogy meghaltam, nem mérgezem meg, vagy nem találok módot a lehetetlen szerződésem újratárgyalására, akkor kénytelen leszek New York egyik legidegesítőbb és legkönyörtelenebb vezérigazgatója keze alatt dolgozni. De aztán késő este felhívott egy sürgős ajánlattal...
Hihetetlenül szexi és pimasz, feszültséggel teli könyv,
melyben a drámai és forró jeleneteket lélektani összefüggések is gazdagítják.
ÜDÍTSD FEL VELE A LELKED!

Dickens' characters are fictional, and their political activity is minimal, yet all are drawn towards the Paris of the Terror, and all become caught up in its web of human suffering and human sacrifice.

The River of Death: A Tale of London In Peril
Another in the "Doom of London" series, in which the author sounds a clarion call of potential disasters that may fall upon the great city. Here he relates a tale of environmental contamination leading to a medical panic.London in a year of severe drought; water level in the Thames river extremely low, blazing heat wave for 3 weeks in August; a Portuguese cargo ship sinks and contaminates a tributary of the Thames; 3 of the crew members are discovered to be dying of some disease; the local doctor is frightened by what he sees, calls the health authorities, who call for help from Professor Darbyshire, a scientist who deals with "fighting diseases in the bulk", someone we might call an environmental epidemiologist today; he investigates, then ... Darbyshire makes a hurried call asking his friend, Dr. Longdale, to come at once to his house where he has a small laboratory."Darbyshire produced a phial of cloudy fluid, some of which he proceeded to lay on the glass of a powerful microscope. Longdale fairly staggered back from the eyepiece. "Bubonic! The water reeks with the bacillus! I haven't seen it so strongly marked since we were in New Orleans together. Darbyshire, you don't mean to say that this sample came from—"Yes, the sample was water from the contaminated Thames, the river from which roughly 4/5 of the water comes to supply the needs of the 5 million Londoners. Longdale says the water system must be shut off."And deprive four-fifths of London with water altogether!" Darbyshire said grimly. "And London grilling like a furnace? No flushing of sewers, no watering of roads, not even a drop to drink. In two days London would be a reeking, seething hell — try and picture it, Longdale.""I have, often," Longdale said gloomily. "Sooner or later it had to come. Now is your chance, Darbyshire — that process of sterilisation of yours."Will he save London? Of course — he's the hero of the story. But how? Does London panic? How do the authorities respond?

The Diary of a CEO
This is not a book about business strategy. Strategy changes like the seasons. This is a book about something much more permanent.
At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my podcast - are a set of principles that can stand the test of time, apply to any industry, and be used by anyone who is search of building something great or becoming someone great.
These are the fundamental laws that will ensure excellence.
They are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, are based on the wisdom of tens of thousands of people I've surveyed across every continent and age group, and of course, drawn from the conversations I've had on my chart-topping podcast with the world's most successful people.
These laws will work now or in 100 years from now. Are you ready to get started?
