Nellie MacQueen can’t seem to catch a break. Dumped by her philandering fiance, she’s come to Scotland with her two sisters to meet the mother who abandoned them ages ago. She’s got enough to worry about without being catapulted into a magical world filled with water demons, violent soldiers, and no cell phone reception. Being saved by Keane, her one-time storybook hero turned blind resistance fighter, seems an outrageous fantasy, even for Nellie. Magical powers? Destiny? Love? It all seems impossible to logical Nellie, but there’s nothing logical about the way Keane makes her feel. Is the attraction they feel for each other real? Or has Keane finally found the weapon he’s been searching for?Mostra libro
The mission that sparked the Ravager War. Armor that gallops. That’s what the lieutenant called it. But he’s wrong. It can be killed. There’s always a chink in armor, even if it’s been impossible to find so far. Sergeant Ryan’s forced optimism hasn’t been contagious, at least not since their aircraft crashed under mysterious circumstances. They had to scrap their mission of finding the missing explorers who were supposed to greenlight colonization on the alien planet. Even before being hunted, they were down a soldier, so he understands his compatriots’ frustration. But their situation isn’t hopeless. All they need to do is kill the creature that’s been stalking them since the crash. Trekking the hundreds of miles back to Fort Beckett will also require outrunning the roaming packs of predators, but based on the predators’ seemingly tactical behavior, Sergeant Ryan can’t shake the feeling they aren’t dealing with ordinary animals.

Sundae Monroe Banks was born into pain. After losing her father and being handed over to the streets by her own mother, she learned early: love is dangerous, and emotions are a weakness she can’t afford. While most girls her age are picking colleges and chasing dreams, Sundae’s out here chasing survival. Now nineteen, cold-blooded, and wise beyond her years, she stacks money, uses men, and keeps her heart locked behind walls nobody can break through. Trust is dead. Loyalty is strictly conditional. But when people she thought were solid start switching sides—and the past she tried to bury claws its way back—Sundae is forced to confront the one person she’s been running from … herself. Selfish is a raw, gritty urban fiction novel packed with betrayal, heartbreak, and survival. If you love street lit, hood love stories, and Black coming-of-age tales with real emotion and shocking twists, Selfish is a must-read. “Because love might heal … But sometimes, being selfish is the only way to survive.”Mostra libro

Once upon a time, as all good stories with happy endings begin, a penniless young mother walked the streets of Edinburgh with her beloved baby daughter, hoping to make her fortune. In truth, “fortune” is probably over-exaggerating; enough money to feed and clothe the two of them and put a decent roof over their heads was all this young mother asked, but it was proving to be incredibly difficult. Yet this is no fairy tale from the Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson, it’s the true story of one of the most successful women the world has ever known, who in 1990 came up with the idea for a book about an orphaned boy wizard. The boy’s name was Harry Potter, the young woman, JK Rowling, and the rest is history!Mostra libro
