From USA Today bestselling author Aliyah Burke comes a playfully sexy romantic comedy about one room, one bed, and a man who knows how to play . . . When ex-pro basketball player Mitchell Anderson sees an overturned car on the edge of a cliff during a nasty snowstorm, he knows he has only minutes to rescue the woman trapped inside. What he's not expecting is their instant attraction, or that she can deliver one hell of a pick-up line even under the most terrifying of circumstances. Hope Roman's entire life is on the edge. She's already overwhelmed with grief and upset, and nearly dying is pretty much the icing on a terrible, soggy cake. So it's just her luck that she's suddenly snowbound at a charming little inn with the hottest, yet down right grumpiest, man she's ever met. And naturally, there's only one room left. Now the pillow barrier between them keeps disappearing. And the walls are coming down. But Hope knows she doesn't belong in Mitchell's world any more than he belongs in hers. The question is whether either of them can trust the other long enough to play for keeps . . .Zum Buch

Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master. 1 - Six of the Best - Mary Butts - An Introduction 2 - Mary Butts - An Introduction 3 - With & Without Buttons by Mary Butts 4 - The Dinner Party by Mary Butts 5 - Angele Au Couvent by Mary Butts 6 - Brightness Falls by Mary Butts 7 - After the Funeral by Mary Butts 8 - In Bayswater - Part 1 by Mary Butts 9 - In Bayswater - Part 2 by Mary ButtsZum Buch
What's a werewolf to do when tattoos dole out dating advice? Once, I blindly followed the orders of a shadowy Council. No more. These days I'm on a quest with my estranged sister to free kidnapped shifter children before they're taught to disdain their own kind. Trouble is, the frozen tattoos from my broken mate bond keep interfering, trying to once again intertwine my fate with that of the alpha protector Orion. Worse, a matching mark has appeared on my sister, irrationally linking her to a dangerously charming stranger we rescued along the way. As manipulative Old Magic threatens to override our free will, can we save the experimented-upon youngsters? Or will compulsions from our mystical tattoos draw us back into the clutches of enemies we worked so hard to leave behind? The second book in the swashbuckling, slow-burn Rune Wolf series is full of fated mates refusing to be corralled by ancient prophecies, a fish out of water discovering found family, and lots and lots of werewolves.Zum Buch
