Lord William Lancaster se vrací z daleké Indie, kde s přítelem vydělal velké jmění a kde, bohužel, jeho přítel přišel o život. William se zavázal, že doprovodí bezpečně zpátky do Anglie jeho krásnou sestru, devatenáctiletou Annu. Čekala je půlroční dobrodružná plavba, během které se jeden druhému dostal pořádně pod kůži. Nezkrotná, přímá a nevinná Anna Williamovi nejednou zvedla pořádně tlak, a ani ona nezůstala vůči jeho temnému a charismatu imunní. A co bude, až dorazí do Londýna a jejich cesty se rozejdou? Dokážou na sebe zapomenout?

Povinnost, to bylo Gianlukovo oblíbené slovo. Inu, pro krále je povinnost na prvním místě. Jenže co má dělat, když jeho mladá manželka věří v něco jiného? Ve štěstí… a snad dokonce v lásku! A tak ji obviní, absurdně obviní, z něčeho, co nespáchala. A kromě žhavých nocí jí neposkytne nic! Helene by se za Gianluku provdala, i kdyby byl úplný nikdo! Stačilo, když ho poprvé uviděla, když s ním poprvé promluvila. Jenže jí ukradené chvíle vášně přestaly stačit. A přestalo ji bavit být krásná a poslušná. A tak se rozhodla Gianluku zachránit!

Kim rozhodně nebyla připravená na to, že jí zničehonic do života vstoupí – znovu! – Diego, její manžel! A že když odejde, zůstane po něm jenom spáleniště. Zůstanou po něm jenom trosky jejího dokonale naplánovaného života. Diego se vrátil jenom proto, aby se naposledy popásl pohledem na ženě, která byla ochotná obětovat se pro všechno, jenom ne pro jejich vztah. Jenže pak zjistil, že odejít od ní už nemůže.

Welcome to Blackwood Academy: a boarding school located on the fringes of the afterlife. No one knows why they end up at Blackwood; but when they enter the school's arched gates the only way out is to be chosen for the Decennial - a series of magical trials held once a decade. The chosen pupil is offered a choice: graduate and join Blackwood's magical elite, or venture into the unknown and cross over to the Other Side. Wren knows she has what it takes to win-unless, that is, her arch-rival (and subject of her tortured dreams) Augustine steals her spot. Irene has never cared about playing by the rules and will break whatever (and whoever) stands in her way, including her only friend, Masika. Olivier has given up securing the nomination. But he'll stop at nothing to keep Emilio, from crossing over to the Other Side. All are determined to be Blackwood's chosen candidate. All are determined to win. But this Decennial will be unlike any before. Six nominees. Four trials. One victor. The competitors are about to learn that there are some fates worse than death.

Theirs was a love that defied the gods… Beautiful, headstrong Psyche has captured the eye of every suitor - but also the jealous gaze of Aphrodite. When she is tied to a rock to be sacrificed to a 'monstrous husband', no monster arrives: instead, she is spirited away by Aphrodite's daughter Eros. Eros, goddess of desire, can change gender at will. In her hidden palace, she visits Psyche under a cloak of darkness, unable to reveal her face. As they discover new pleasures together, Psyche is tempted to break her vow not to look... Gloriously anarchic and seductive, Caro De Robertis' gender-fluid retelling of this classic myth is a masterpiece.
