Summary

SIMONA

"In the enchanting allure of Rome, Simona's life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Carlo in her office. Unprepared for the whirlwind of passion and intrigue, she discovers a profound connection that awakens a new sense of self. As she navigates the captivating yet dangerous game of hide and seek with mysterious observers, Simona is drawn into a thrilling dance of romance and suspense, set against the backdrop of Italy's breathtaking capital."

SECOND TIME AROUND

Sometimes the end is just the beginning.

After her divorce, Grace never expected to feel anything again – until a stranger's kindness sparks a new beginning. When her ex's wedding brings her to Verona, fate introduces her to Federico... and a chance to reclaim the life she thought she'd lost.

A heartfelt journey through love, loss, and second chances. Three cities. One chance to start over.

AZURE NIGHTS

Sunshine, secrets... and one life-changing summer.

On a summer holiday in Saint-Tropez, Marina finally reaches her breaking point with her narcissistic partner. When a chance meeting with a man who sees through her defences ignites unexpected passion, Marina must decide whether she's ready to live life on her own terms.

A sharp, sensual, and emotionally charged story of love, liberation, and starting over.

From Rome to Verona to Saint-Tropez, these sensual, sun-drenched stories follow women on the brink of change, each daring to leave behind what no longer serves them and leap into the unknown.

    John Davys Beresford was born on 17th March 1873.  His life was blighted by infantile paralysis which left him partially disabled. 
    After an education at Oundle school he trained to be an architect.  However, he quickly decided that his life was to be centred on a literary career.  His first offerings were in drama and as a journalist. 
    As well as being a book reviewer for the Manchester Guardian he contributed to New Statesman, The Spectator, Westminster Gazette, and the Theosophist magazine The Aryan Path.   
    His spiritual journey in early adulthood had claimed him as an agnostic, in defiance of his clergyman father.  This view he later abandoned in preference to describing himself as a Theosophist and a pacifist. 
    As well as many novels, many themed with spiritual and philosophical elements.  Beresford was also a gifted short story writer particularly across the science-fiction, horror and ghost genres. 
    All of these elements helped him to obtain a prominent place in Edwardian Literary London. 
    John Davys Beresford died on the 2nd February 1947. He was 73.

    Forget everything you thought you knew about "happily ever after."
    This edition strips away centuries of censorship to reveal the raw gothic darkness of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's original tales. These were never bedtime stories for children — they were warnings for adults, forged in a world of famine, superstition, and unforgiving forests.
    What makes this edition unique:
    130+ Original Color Illustrations. Each page comes alive with vivid artwork that plunges you into the shadowy heart of pre-industrial Europe — a world where magic was bloody and survival was never guaranteed.
    Modern Translation. The archaic German narratives have been rendered into crisp, contemporary English. The language feels immediate and sharp while preserving the dark spirit of the originals.
    Uncompromising Authenticity. No softened endings. No moral polish. Justice here is served with red-hot iron, and the forest shows no mercy to the weak.
    This is not simply a book — it is a collector's artifact and an excavation of primal human fears. Created for readers who dare to look into the merciless mirror of the past and recognize the nightmares still embedded in our culture.
    WARNING: This edition is intended for mature audiences. Contains graphic violence and disturbing imagery faithful to the original folklore.
