Beschreibung

Though this book is your very, very own, you will not mind if other little girls and boys also get copies of it from their mummeys and papas and ganmas and ganpas, for when you meet some of them you will, all of you, have a number of common friends like " The Cinder-Maid," or " The Earl of Cattenborough," or "The Master-Maid," and you can talk to one another about them so that you are old friends at once. Oh, won't that be nice? 

And when one of these days you go over the Great Sea, in whatever land you go, you will find girls and boys, as well as grown-ups, who will know all of these tales, even if they have different names. Won't that be nice too ? And when you tell your new friends here or abroad of these stories that you and they will know so well, do not forget to tell them that you have a book, all of your very own, which was made up specially for you of these old, old stories by your old, old 

GANPA.

    Flynn Morley has spent his life getting by with as little as possible. No girlfriend. No real home. No money to speak of. Raised in the system, he learned early not to trust people who seemed to have everything. So when he takes a job as a “muse” for a wealthy Minneapolis couple, it feels like crossing a line he never thought he would. 
     
    Then he meets June. 
     
    June is a bike tour guide with a quick smile, a calm confidence, and a way of making Flynn feel seen without being judged. Their connection is immediate and playful, built on shared humor, quiet moments, and a mutual longing for a simple life. 
     
    As Flynn adjusts to his bizarre new job, he starts encountering something he never planned for: kindness without strings attached. It challenges everything he believes about money, power, and who gets to be comfortable in the world. And falling for June only complicates things, especially when it turns out she’s carrying secrets of her own. 
     
    When June’s past surfaces, Flynn has to decide what scares him more: becoming someone he’s always sworn he’d never be or letting her see his darkest secrets. If he can’t let go of his fears, he might lose the one person who finally feels like home.

    It's the number one rule in this beach town: don't fall for a tourist. 
     
     
     
    But Jonah Lachlan isn't like any tourist I've ever met. 
     
     
     
    He's not here for a good time, that much is obvious. In fact, the brooding, boy-next-door cutie is clearly hell-bent on being miserable. Though he's here with his best friend, he doesn't seem interested in hook-ups. Or fun. The guy brought a book to this beach full of gorgeous single gay men, for crying out loud. Who does that?? 
     
     
     
    And as if he couldn't be any more confusing, he seems superhumanly immune to anyone who flirts with him. Myself included. 
     
     
     
    Just one brief encounter with him on the boardwalk was all it took. Now I can't stop thinking about him. I'm sweating in places I didn't know I was capable. I'm at a complete loss to explain my feelings. I can't let this short weekend slip by and let a guy like that go. I don't care if he's a tourist. I don't care about our cardinal rule. 
     
     
     
    I'm going to break all the rules and dive in deep with this one.

But as this fake relationship starts to feel real, can they overcome the obstacles in their way? 
    A Kiss at Christmas: Kelli wants a perfect little Christmas. Parker just wants to ignore it. Both believe they’re going to be spending the holidays alone. Until the owner of the company they both work for—a man who has a secret knack for matchmaking—invites a dozen employees to celebrate Christmas on the beach. Can they get past their workplace rivalry and take a chance that might just be imperfectly perfect?

    Pandemic. Plague. Call it what you will, but it spelled stay-at-home isolation for Leo and his neighbors. Except the new neighbor. Interesting looking but probably not gay and already hauled off to the hospital. That's how Leo ended up with his cat, and mail, and food packages. A caretaker now, and he doesn't even know the guy.
    A major storm blows up, and people start piling in: the sick neighbor's grandson and some other kid. The old lady neighbor with a tree through her roof and her long-lost flame. So much for social distancing, particularly when sex gets into the act. 
    Except for poor Leo. Odd man out. Until they decide to spring the sick guy from the hospital. What could possibly go wrong?

    Family drama is something Lutéce Choate struggles to avoid. With a mother who's an award-winning country western song writer, an aunt who's a Country Music Hall of Famer, and a brother who's a rock star, it hasn't exactly been a low-key kind of life, and she's ready for a break. 
     
     
     
    Then Lu's younger sister, Claire, goes off and gets engaged to a prince from Malquar, bringing the dreaded spotlight back to shine on their family once again. Lu wants to go to the engagement party about as much as she wants to yodel the Star Spangled Banner at the Grand Ole Opry with her crazy relatives. Alas, not going, doesn't appear to be an option. 
     
     
     
    Alistair George Henry Bere Hale is not the heir, but the spare. Without the weight of the Crown in his future, he's managed to live the carefree life of a man about town. That is until his younger brother gets engaged before him and their mother starts pressuring him to settle down. Alistair represents everything that Lutéce has come to despise—he's a rich, playboy, partier, who's always in the spotlight . . . But Alistair doesn't feel the same about Lu. In fact, he's quite drawn to his brother's future sister-in-law, prickles and all. 
     
     
     
    When Lu and Alistair's mothers witness the sparks between their children, they start to make plans of their own. Will Lu relax her prejudices long enough to get to know Alistair?

    One day in 1860, everything changed for everyone, everywhere.  
    In Victorian London, where steam and clockwork drive progress, a chain of events thrusts Oliver, Jake, and Charlotte into conflict with the authorities. Coming from vastly different backgrounds, they form an unlikely alliance with an escaped slave, a street urchin, and a prostitute—together, they become the crew of the airship Rebel Runaways. 
    With the country under military control and torn apart by ruthless street gangs, their first priority is escape. But when they uncover the full extent of a corrupt government’s schemes—led by a sinister industrialist—they realize running isn’t an option. They must fight. 
    As they take to the skies, their battle for freedom will reshape not only their own fates but the fate of the world itself. If they fail, society will plunge into darkness. 
    Freedom Skies is the thrilling first book in The Rebel Runaways series—an alternative history adventure blending real-world locations with daring escapades and the spirit of Steampunk’s origins. 
    Perfect for fans of The Aeronaut’s Windlass by Jim Butcher, Perdido Street Station by China Miéville, and the Magnificent Devices series by Shelley Adina.
