Another Thing to Fall

A new novel in the acclaimed Tess Monaghan series by the bestselling author of WHAT THE DEAD KNOW. When private eye Tess Monaghan finds herself literally on a collision course with the makers of a TV series being shot in her native Baltimore, it's not only her introduction to the surreal world of television drama, but also the beginning of a case that only a crazed scriptwriter could have dreamed up for her. Selene Waites, the glamorous but brittle young star of the show, has been the victim of a twisted stalker, and executive producer thinks Tess would be just the person to bodyguard her during filming. At first, Selene seems like a spoiled kook out of central casting and the babysitting job a PR sham, but as Tess gets sucked deeper into the show's labyrinthine web of deceptions and betrayals, she soon finds she's unwittingly become the main feature in a storyline featuring murder, kidnapping and sickening obsession...

Zane Grey - (A Novel by)

In the formidable anthology "Western Classics: Zane Grey Collection," readers are invited to traverse the untamed landscapes of the American West through the lens of Zane Grey's masterful storytelling. This compendium, encompassing 27 novels, brilliantly captures the rugged spirit of frontier life, combining rich, vivid descriptions with complex characters who grapple with moral dilemmas and the relentless forces of nature. Grey'Äôs literary style is characterized by sweeping narratives and poignant emotional undertones, often reflecting the realities of lawlessness, adventure, and the indomitable human spirit against a backdrop of scenic beauty. He skillfully delves into themes of bravery, love, and the struggle for survival, positioning his work within the larger context of early 20th-century American literature that romantically idealizes a vanishing way of life. Zane Grey, an author born in 1872, was profoundly influenced by his own experiences as an outdoorsman and avid fisherman, fostering a deep appreciation for the American wilderness. His passion for adventure and his roots in the West not only shaped his identity but also provided rich material for his narratives, striving to convey the authenticity of life on the frontier. Grey'Äôs work revolutionized the Western genre, establishing a legacy that continues to inspire contemporary storytelling. This collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of Western literature, history, and the exploration of human resilience. Zane Grey's unparalleled ability to evoke the spirit of adventure will captivate readers, making this anthology an invaluable addition to any literary collection. Whether you are a longtime fan or new to Grey's work, his timeless tales promise to transport you to a world of courage, romance, and the boundless landscapes of the American West.

The River Knows

From New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick comes a delightful romp filled with breathtaking suspense, dazzling wit, and steamy Victorian passion... The first kiss occurred in a dimly-lit hallway on the upper floor of Elwin Hastings’s grand house. Louisa Bryce never saw it coming. Of course, handsome, wealthy Anthony Stalbridge couldn’t possibly have had romantic intentions. The kiss was merely meant to distract the armed guard about to catch the two unlikely sleuths. After all, the only thing these two interlopers have in common is a passionate interest in uncovering the dastardly secrets of Mr. Hastings—a prominent member of Society whom they suspect of murder. Brought together by their desire for the truth, Anthony and Louisa finally discover the incriminating evidence they’re looking for. But bringing Hastings to justice will be more perilous than they anticipate, especially since their thrilling attraction to danger—and, it turns out, to each other—might very well get in the way...

One afternoon, single mother Sara Weston says that she's going to the store—and never returns. In her absence, she leaves her teenage son alone with his damaged past and a legacy of secrets. Keith Weston nearly lost his life in an act of arson. He survived—but with devastating physical and emotional scars. Without his mother, he has no one to help him heal, no money, nothing to live for but the medications that numb his pain.

Now she's back home. But her release cannot free her from the burden of guilt she carries. She grew up with Keith Weston, played with him as a child…and recently learned they share the same father. Now the person Keith despises most is the closest thing he has to family—until Sara returns. If Sara returns….

A Wanton Woman

This complete collection has double the cowboys, double the heat and triple the stories! All 3 books in the Mail Order Bride of Slate Springs series are included. ~ A Wanton Woman ~ Book 1 Celia Lawrence can't show her face in her conservative, small town. First, she discovered her husband in bed with another man's wife, and then she witnessed both their murders. While she didn't pull the trigger, small town gossip is not forgiving and everywhere she goes she is chastised for not being woman enough to keep her straying husband at home. Eager to flee her old life, Celia heads to Colorado as a mail-order bride. As mayor of Slate Springs, Colorado, Luke Benson is expected to set the example. Their small town is hidden away in a remote mountainous region where few women have the courage or desire to tread. As mayor, it falls to him to test out their newly passed law and share a wife with his brother. The truth is, Luke has no interest in a woman of his own, and agrees to a mail-order bride out of duty, not anticipation. His brother, Walker, is jaded and hard after the death of his first wife. For Walker, loving again is out of the question. But a man has needs, and he'll eagerly take his pleasure from their new bride while expecting Luke to provide the tenderness and caring a woman expects. A marriage based on everything but love should be doomed. But Celia, Luke and Walker discover one thing they have in common: desire. Will that be strong enough to survive the danger that follows Celia from Texas? Will desire be strong enough to teach three broken souls that sometimes you have to risk everything for love? ~ A Wild Woman ~ Book 2 With five overbearing brothers, Piper Dare must head West to forge her own life. Her trip takes an unexpected turn when she fills in as a mail order bride for a woman she meets on the stage. Lane Haskins and Spur Drews are stunned by their new bride. A gun toting, foul language spewing redhead is not what they expected. But they don't mind the little wildcat. In fact, they love her instantly. But their match takes a decided turn and their love—and devotion—is put to a very powerful test. ~ A Wicked Woman ~ Book 3 Because of her stepsisters, Eve Jamison is driven from her hometown in scandal with a train ticket in one hand and a proxy marriage license in the other. But when she arrives in the small Colorado mountain town, she discovers her groom recently died. Even though she never met her husband, the new widow learns she is quite wealthy. At the mercy of her dead husband's money-grubbing family, Knox and Jed Dare each vow to protect her. They both want the beautiful bluestocking and refuse to cede way to the other. Eve has other ideas where the two men are concerned. Because she is now a woman of Slate Springs, she doesn't have to choose. She wants both Jed and Knox... and gets them. Warning: Panty melting!

Saint Odd

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SUSPENSE MAGAZINE • Includes Dean Koontz’s short story “You Are Destined to Be Together Forever” From “one of the master storytellers of this or any age” (The Tampa Tribune) comes the stunning final adventure of “one of the most remarkable and appealing characters in current fiction”(The Virginian-Pilot)—as Dean Koontz brings the unforgettable odyssey of Odd Thomas to its dazzling conclusion. Odd Thomas is back where it all started . . . because the time has come to finish it. Since he left his simple life in the small town of Pico Mundo, California, his journey has taken him to places strange and wonderful, mysterious and terrifying. Across the land, in the company of mortals and spirits alike, he has known kindness and cruelty, felt love and loss, saved lives and taken them—as he’s borne witness to humanity’s greatest good and darkest evil. Again and again, he has gone where he must and done what he had to do—for better or worse—with his courage and devotion sorely tested, and his soul forever changed. Every triumph has been hard won. Each sacrifice has taken its toll. Now, whatever destiny drives him has finally steered his steps home, where those he cares for most surround him, the memory of his tragically lost true love haunts him, and one last challenge—vast and dreadful—awaits him. For Odd Thomas, born to serve a purpose far greater than himself, the wandering is done. Only the reckoning remains. Praise for Saint Odd “Equal parts supernatural thriller, cultural satire, character study, bildungsroman, offbeat love story, road trip, spiritual meditation, and apocalyptic adventure, the Odd Thomas books . . . are more than irresistible page-turners. They are intimate, haunting, often heartrending, exhilarating, and beautifully composed.”—Biography.com “Odd Thomas is such an endearing and likable character and, more than anything else, has been the reason for the success of the series. . . . For readers who have been with Odd all along, Saint Odd will satisfy.”—Bookreporter Acclaim for Dean Koontz and his Odd Thomas novels “Odd’s strange gifts, coupled with his intelligence and self-effacing humor, make him one of the most quietly authoritative characters in recent popular fiction.”—Publishers Weekly “Koontz gives his character wit, good humor, a familiarity with the dark side of humanity—and moral outrage.”—USA Today “The ultimate Everyman . . . an avatar of hope and honor and courage for all of us—the linchpin of a rollicking good tale . . . Odd evokes the homespun wisdom of Forrest Gump amid the mind-spinning adventures of a Jack Bauer.”—BookPage “There’s never anything predictable about an Odd Thomas adventure.”—Booklist “The nice young fry cook with the occult powers is [Koontz’s] most likable creation . . . candid, upright, amusing and sometimes withering.”—The New York Times “An inventive . . . mix of suspense, whimsy and uplift.”—The Washington Post “Heartfelt and provocative . . . a wonderfully rich and entertaining story.”—Chicago Sun-Times

Comfort and Joy (Hannah, Kristin)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The beloved author of The Women presents a modern-day fairy tale—the story of a woman who gets a miraculous chance at happiness. Joy Candellaro once loved Christmas more than any other time of the year. Now, as the holiday approaches, she is at a crossroads in her life; recently divorced and alone, she can’t summon the old enthusiasm for celebrating. So without telling anyone, she buys a ticket and boards a plane bound for the beautiful Pacific Northwest. When an unexpected detour takes her deep into the woods of the Olympic rainforest, Joy makes a bold decision to leave her ordinary life behind—to just walk away—and thus begins an adventure unlike any she could have imagined. In the small town of Rain Valley, six-year-old Bobby O’Shea is facing his first Christmas without a mother. Unable to handle the loss, Bobby has closed himself off from the world, talking only to his invisible best friend. His father Daniel is beside himself, desperate to help his son cope. Yet when the little boy meets Joy, these two unlikely souls form a deep and powerful bond. In helping Bobby and Daniel heal, Joy finds herself again. But not everything is as it seems in quiet Rain Valley, and in an instant, Joy’s world is ripped apart, and her heart is broken. On a magical Christmas Eve, a night of impossible dreams and unexpected chances, Joy must find the courage to believe in a love—and a family—that can’t possibly exist, and go in search of what she wants . . . and the new life only she can find.

The bay at midnight

Her family's cottage on the New Jersey shore was a place of freedom and innocence for Julie Bauer—until her seventeen-year-old sister, Isabel, was murdered. It's been more than forty years since that August night, but Julie's memories of her sister's death still shape her world. Now someone from her past is raising questions about what really happened that night. About Julie's own complicity. About a devastating secret her mother kept from them all. About the person who went to prison for Izzy's murder—and the person who didn't. Faced with questions and armed with few answers, Julie must gather the courage to revisit her past and untangle the complex emotions that led to one unspeakable act of violence on the bay at midnight.

Ghost walk

Nikki DuMonde's newest employee is standing at the end of her bed at four o'clock in the morning begging for help. It's a joke, right? Besides, as manager of a successful New Orleans haunted-tour company, Nikki doesn't scare easily. But in the light of day, harsh reality sets in as a police officer informs her that Andy was brutally murdered—at the exact time Nikki swears the distraught woman was in her room. No one believes her except Brent Blackhawk, a paranormal investigator desperately trying to forget his tragic past. Half Irish, half Lakota—and able to communicate with the dead—Brent is used to living in two worlds. But when he realizes the ghost of a slain government agent is also trying to reach out to Nikki, he knows that she, too, must listen to the dead…if she wants to keep living.

Frankissstein

¿Cómo será el futuro que las mujeres no están decidiendo? «Un viaje en el tiempo divertidísimo y agudo con Frankenstein: alter ego actuales sumergidos en el mundo de la inteligencia artificial, la criogenia y los robots sexuales.» Margaret Atwood En una Inglaterra post-Brexit, el joven médico transgénero Ry Shelley conoce al profesor Victor Stein, que lidera el debate público sobre inteligencia artificial, y traba con él una peculiar relación. Mientras tanto, Ron Lord, recién divorciado e instalado con su madre, se dispone a hacerse de oro lanzando una nueva generación de muñecas sexuales. Al otro lado del Atlántico, en Phoenix, una instalación de criogenia alberga docenas de cadáveres de hombres y mujeres que aguardan a que se les devuelva a la vida. El tiempo de la especie humana se acaba. ¿Qué ocurrirá cuando el Homo sapiens no ocupe ya la cima de la cadena evolutiva? ¿Y qué sucederá con las mujeres, que no están participando en el diseño y la programación del futuro? Jeanette Winterson aborda estas preguntas a través de los avatares de unos personajes inolvidables, entre los que destaca una jovencísima Mary Shelley que escribe su profético Frankenstein junto al lago Lemán. «Lírica, deliciosamente obscena y absurda» (según New Scientist), «inteligente, imaginativa y muy divertida» (según The Times), esta es una novela de amor. Una novela de sexo en la que incluso una robot descubre el feminismo radical. Una refl exión sobre qué es y qué no es el ser humano. «Un viaje en el tiempo divertidísimo y agudo con Frankenstein: alter ego actuales sumergidos en el mundo de la inteligencia artificial, la criogenia y los robots sexuales. (Advertencia: el Byron moderno no sale bien parado.)» Margaret Atwood La crítica ha dicho... «Me gusta mucho la obra de Jeanette Winterson por su inteligencia, su carácter provocador, su naturaleza visionaria, la belleza de su escritura, la firmeza de su posición como escritora del mundo. Frankissstein es una historia de amor vertiginosa donde todos los géneros saltan por los aires. Cuando leo a Winterson siento con certeza que estamos en el umbral de algo nuevo, de algo bueno.» Nuria Barrios «Una relectura del mito de Shelley en el actual escenario de la Inteligencia Artificial que demuestra que las dudas y preguntas existenciales que atenazan a la humanidad no cambian con el tiempo y la tecnología.» Andrés Seoane, El Cultural de El Mundo « Frankissstein es parlanchina, inteligente, anárquica y muy sexi. [...] Winterson juega a un juego enteramente suyo.» Dwight Garner, El Cultural de El Mundo «No lo podréis soltar. Es brillante.» Time Out Madrid (Libros del mes) «Una novela de amor y sexo donde los robots pueden ser feministas radicales. Como Years and years, es un toque de atención. Un mundo apocalíptico lleno de risas con las obsesiones de Winterson. Pero que sea su novela más divertida no quita que también sea profunda.» Rosa Belmone, Mujer Hoy «Novela sobre identidades, feminismos y tecnologías que lo cambiarán todo si no las controlamos. [...] Un ejercicio de reivindicación, un beso que se ha colado en un mundo por venir.» Núria Escur, La Vanguardia «La escritora británica centrifuga el mito del moderno Prometeo. [...] Una historia de ciencia, fantasía y, claro, amor.» David Morán, ABC «Un Frankenstein moderno y envuelto en una historia de amor, [...] ideal para lectores asépticos o apocalípticos. [...] Una llamada de atención a la humanidad.» Diego Gángara, La Razón

Forget Me Not and Beautiful Dreamer

Dear Reader, I wrote Forget Me Not because I wanted to revisit one of my favorite childhood landscapes, the wild mountains of Wyoming. It is a place where anything can happen, and does. In those mountains Alana and Rafestruggle against their tangled past of tragedy and betrayal. Together they solve the twin mysteries of a savage death and the terrifying blankness of amnesia. Together they find danger, forgiveness, and transcendent love. Beautiful Dreamer is my love song to the men and women of the modern American West. A woman called Hope is fighting to keep alive a ranch that is dying for lack of water. A mysterious drifter known as Rio comes to her and offers to find water on her land. She accepts, never knowing that she will find in Rio a man to match her dreams, a man who gives her everything and takes nothing, a man who believes he loves only the wind sighing over the land, calling his name, calling him away ...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR by Booklist • Kirkus Reviews Celebrate all the ways love makes us who we are with the romance that Entertainment Weekly calls "wise, wildly unique"--from the bestselling co-author of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist--about a teen who wakes up every morning in a different body, living a different life. Now a major motion picture! Every day a different body. Every day a different life. Every day in love with the same girl. There’s never any warning about where it will be or who it will be. A has made peace with that, even established guidelines by which to live: Never get too attached. Avoid being noticed. Do not interfere. It’s all fine until the morning that A wakes up in the body of Justin and meets Justin’s girlfriend, Rhiannon. From that moment, the rules by which A has been living no longer apply. Because finally A has found someone he wants to be with—day in, day out, day after day. With his new novel, David Levithan, bestselling co-author of Will Grayson, Will Grayson, and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, has pushed himself to new creative heights.

It had to be you

Susan Elizabeth Phillips; Susan Elizabeth Phillips; Susan Phillips

The Windy City isn't quite ready for Phoebe Somerville—the outrageous, curvaceous New York knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team. And Phoebe is definitely not ready for the Stars' head coach, former gridiron legend Dan Calebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. Calebow is everything Phoebe abhors. And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises—a meddling bimbo who doesn't know a pigskin from a pitcher's mound. So why is Dan drawn to the shameless sexpot like a heat-seeking missile? And why does the coach's good ol' boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied...and ready to fight? The sexy, heartwarming, and hilarious "prequel" to This Heart of Mine—Susan Elizabeth Phillips's New York Times bestselling blockbuster—It Had To Be You is an enchanting story of two stubborn people who believe in playing for keeps.

The Witness

In her stunning 200th novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts proves why no one is better “when it comes to flawlessly fusing high-stakes suspense with red-hot romance" (Booklist, starred review). Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth Fitch finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance security systems designer, her own protection is supplemented by a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. Unfortunately, that seems to be the quickest way to get attention in a tiny southern town. The mystery of Abigail Lowery and her sharp mind, secretive nature and unromantic viewpoint intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and professional level. And while he suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, Gleason is accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, not the powerful and dangerous men who are about to have him in their sights. And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.

Tempest in Eden

Opposites attract when a nude art model sets out to seduce a conservative minister who disapproves of her profession but can't seem to resist her. Renowned artist's model Shay Morrison thinks nothing of exposing her body to inspire great works of art. But hidden inside her, where no one can see, is the pain of a failed marriage. Then, while visiting a weekend cabin, she accidentally walks in on Ian Douglas as he steps out of the shower. Every gorgeous bit of him is immediately apparent -- as is his disapproval of Shay. What isn't so obvious is his profession: Ian is a minister in a straitlaced community. Challenged and hurt, Shay decides to seduce him. But waiting for her are the traps of her own weaknesses and the potent force of attraction . . . as a woman with a troubled past tries to understand a man different from anyone she has known before, and new feelings rise from her heart

The Ship of Brides

**From the bestselling author of The Last Letter from Your Lover, now a major motion picture** A moving novel based on a true story, by Jojo Moyes, internationally bestselling author of Me Before You, After You and the new bestseller Still Me. **** 'Brimming over with friendship, sadness, humour and romance, as well as several unexpected plot twists, it's a tremendously satisfying read and (for my money) even better than ... Me Before You.' - Daily Mail Australia, 1946. 650 brides are departing for England to meet the men they married in wartime. But instead of the luxury liner they were expecting, they find themselves aboard an aircraft carrier, alongside a thousand men. On the sun-baked decks, old loves and past promises become distant memories, and tensions are stretched to the limit as brides and husbands change their minds. And for Frances Mackenzie, one bride in particular, it soon becomes clear that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination. **** 'Wonderful' - Sunday Express 'Scintillating.' - Woman & Home 'Gloriously entertaining' - Mirror 'Fascinating' - Heat 'Engaging and poignant' - Glasgow Herald 'Irresistible' - Daily Express

Twisted Love

ALEX VOLKOV e un demon binecuvântat cu o față de înger și blestemat cu un trecut de care nu poate scăpa. Poartă povara unei tragedii care îl bântuie încă din copilărie. Forța care îl mână în viață este dorința aprigă de a se răzbuna și de a avea succes, iar asta nu lasă loc pentru iubire. Însă, atunci când e silit să aibă grijă de sora celui mai bun prieten al său, Alex începe să simtă o emoție nouă. În armura lui înghețată apare o fisură. Inima lui împietrită începe să se topească. E cuprins de un foc care amenință să-i năruie lumea. AVA CHEN e un spirit liber, dar încătușat de coșmaruri născute dintr-o copilărie pe care nu și-o amintește. Și totuși, în ciuda trecutului său misterios și apăsător, Ava vede mereu frumusețea din ceilalți… inclusiv cea din inima unui bărbat închistat într-o carapace glacială. Un bărbat pe care n-ar trebui să-l dorească. Cel mai bun prieten al fratelui său. Vecinul ei. Salvatorul și totodată pieirea ei. Iubirea lor n-ar fi trebuit să se înfiripe, dar când începe să înflorească, descătușează secrete care i-ar putea distruge pe amândoi… și tot ceea ce le este mai drag. „Zile întregi am fost hipnotizată de acest roman. Îi dau opt milioane de stele, nu cinci.” —Ali Hazelwood, autoarea romanului Ipoteza iubirii
