Sinopse

A literary romance like no other – Kimberly Campanello’s debut novel unfurls over a hot Breton summer as American student K embarks on a love affair with a local.
Barred from using English by their French programme, the other Americans’ identities flicker and fade. Yet for K this dissolution opens space for profound transformation.
Heady and poetic, erotic and intelligent, this is a coming-of-age tale that reveals how coming-of-age – at its pinnacle – means coming alive. Alive to touch and taste, pleasure and ecstasy. To the sea, the sun and eternity.
Advanced Praise for Use the Words You Have... 
'I love what this novel does with language... Read it like you'd eat a melting ice cream.'—Daisy Hildyard
‘A moving meditation on the capacity of language and love to shape us… saturated in sun and salt water, drenched in heat and longing.’—Jessica Andrews
‘Eroticism here is as much about discovering another’s body as it is about discovering the body through language. It’s Rimbaud, it’s Hélène Cixous, even a touch of Claudia Durastanti. But Campanello is entirely her own here.’—Jason Allen-Paisant
‘Composed in a delicate, aching space between nostalgia and desire, between the past and eternity, Use the Words You Have shimmers like light on a sea recollected across decades.’—Rob Doyle
‘It’s been a complete pleasure to read this… The restraint, clarity and precision of the writing is faultless.’—Joanna Walsh

    Charity Goswick thinks she is escaping an arranged marriage to a brute when she slips onto a ship unnoticed. Little does she realize that this is no honorable vessel of the King's Navy—it is a pirate ship. It's just a matter of time before she is discovered by a handsome rake of a pirate, who locks her in his cabin. And while she should be scared, her captor sparks the most unladylike feelings within her . . . 
     
     
     
    James Lamont is on the ship for one reason, and one reason only: to track down his brother. However, his spirited little stowaway certainly affords plenty of distraction with her many (failed) attempts to escape. And each time, the unspoken—and unbidden—passion between them grows stronger. But as violence and danger mount on the high seas, Charity will have to put all of her trust in the most untrustworthy of men . . . the arrogant pirate who just might steal her heart.

    During a mission on planet Tragul, I have the misfortune to get stranded with Lieutenant Agan Drankai, the most arrogant prick in the entire alien army of the country Ravie. I save his life during combat. But the big, tough Agan isn't too pleased having a "tiny" female as a mission partner. 
     
     
     
    When he and I end up separated from the rest, we get captured and brought to a secret lab supposedly operated by our allies. A rogue scientist performs an illegal experiment on Agan, which finally allows the cocky lieutenant to get a taste of his own medicine. 
     
     
     
    The tough guy is now no bigger than my palm. 
     
     
     
    He thought he hated fighting side by side with a woman before? Now, he literally has to be carried back to his army base by one. And the safest way for me to do that is to stuff him in my bra. 
     
     
     
    Despite his small size, Agan's ego remains as big as ever, but so are his confidence, courage, and loyalty. The better I get to know him, the more I find his "little self" growing on me. 
     
     
     
    How much does the size really matter? And does it matter at all?

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    They have survived betrayal, exposure, and a war beneath the ice. After exposing a global conspiracy, former MARSOC Marine Derek Riley and anthropologist Dr. Susan Parker thought they could vanish into the mountains and start over. But evil doesn't rest, and it never forgets. When children begin vanishing from a remote area of the Navajo reservation, Derek and Susan are pulled back into a world of supernatural terror and shadow warfare. As the walls close in, a government assassin hunts them across borders, and a hacker stumbles onto a blueprint for global extinction. What follows is a breakneck mission across oceans and continents, culminating in a final stand where science meets the supernatural, and the future of the world hangs by a thread. 
    Some truths were never meant to be uncovered. Some enemies were never meant to be fought.
