Sinossi

1883–1946
As the child lay huddled in the bed, her face streaked with tears, she listened to the sound of voices from below as neighbours comforted her father. Tomorrow was to be her mother’s funeral and Anne felt very small and frightened. Life was to change immeasurably over the following years from shattered family bonds to the joy and excitement of the Music Hall and falling in love.Over the next decades as the nation battled against a world where loyalties would be tested in two World Wars, Anne would find the strength to move forward, gathering the fragments of her broken family on a journey of resilience and love.

    In this bold and intimate semi-autobiographical novel, La Maison, Emma Becker transports the reader behind the closed doors of a Berlin brothel, where she worked for two years not only to earn a living, but to immerse herself in a world she wanted to understand?and to write about with unflinching honesty. What emerges is a deeply personal, unsentimental, and often surprising account of life inside the brothel, where Becker explores not just the physical aspects of sex work, but the emotional, psychological, and social complexities that shape it. 
     
    With frankness and literary insight, she recounts her encounters with clients, her growing self-awareness, and, most poignantly, the friendships and solidarity she finds among the other women who work there. Far from reducing sex work to cliché or voyeurism, Becker gives space to the quiet routines, shared laughter, private pain, and hard-won dignity of a profession often misunderstood and rarely written about from the inside. 
     
    Part memoir, part sociological study, and wholly literary, La Maison challenges preconceptions about sex, agency, and femininity, offering a provocative and compassionate exploration of what it means to inhabit multiple identities?as worker, writer, woman, and witness.

    Jak and his allies venture through the portal in search of the longevity plant their king demands, but all Jak wants is to find the elder dragons.  
    Some say they’re extinct. Some say they’re in hiding.  
    If he can’t locate them, there won’t be anyone to teach his hatchling how to fly. Or to protect the dragon eggs preserved within a glacier on another world. Or to help him free his people from the tyrannical rule of the wizards. 
    Jak has no choice. He must find the dragons. 
    But some ancient secrets were buried for a reason. What he discovers may jeopardize not only Jak and his allies—the survival of the entire species of dragons may be at stake.

    The emotional ninth book in the bestselling Nappily series finds Venus dealing with the stress of her husband being suspected in the death of his ex, Sirena Lassiter. Hair loss, sleeplessness, and losing control of her life, family, and  
    relationships makes her easy prey for the picturesque ads of beautiful beaches, meditation, and daily massages that keep popping up on her Facebook page. She takes the bait for a relaxing women's retreat in Mexico. When she lands, all she  
    wants to do is take a minute to breathe and get centered. She's got tough choices to make and maybe in the warmth of sunshine and beaches she'll be able to figure out what to do next.  
     
    There she makes the unlikely connection with two women, Bunny and Elina, who become fast friends, as well as a mystery man, Gabriel Kahn, who seems to be everywhere she is. The adventure takes a quick spiral off a cliff onto a deserted  
    island where growth and rejuvenation of the heart and mind take on an entirely new meaning. While stuck on the beach, each day the tide rising higher and higher Venus realizes what truly matters, her family, and will do anything to make  
    it back home. She only hopes it's not too late.

    🌙 Luna, a powerful nocturnal mage, draws her magic from the moon and shadows, forced to hide her abilities in a kingdom that executes night-witches at dawn. By day, she serves as a humble librarian; by night, she secretly heals those harmed by forbidden dark magic. Her dual life shatters when the Sun King's ruthless captain, Kaelen, is gravely wounded by a shadow creature and left at her doorstep during the full moon. As Luna nurses the daylight warrior back to health using her forbidden lunar magic, their opposing natures create a dangerous attraction that defies the laws of both their worlds. Kaelen's daylight magic reacts unpredictably to her lunar powers, creating a new, unstable magic that could either save their kingdom or destroy it. Hunted by the Sun King's inquisitors and a growing darkness that threatens to consume both day and night, they must unite their opposing magics to survive. But when Luna discovers Kaelen's original mission was to hunt and eliminate night-mages like her, she must decide if their growing love is strong enough to bridge the chasm between daylight and darkness.

    Walking out was the hardest thing I’d ever done. I promised her I’d never do it, but I also promised I’d keep her safe. That was the promise I couldn’t keep if I stayed. I wouldn’t risk her life or her health, so I risked my own heart and walked away.  
    But she was ready to move on. To meet someone else. To find a new man who’d be willing to put what she wanted above keeping her safe. A new man who’d put his hands on my wife. Love her. Touch her.  
    Hell. No.  
    She was still mine.  
    Melody 
    I’ve only ever loved one man. One gorgeous, maddening, wonderful man. I even managed to marry him. I thought we’d be together forever, but everything changed when I lost our baby.  
    Instead of being his wife and lover, I was his new project. Something to fix. I didn’t need to be fixed, though. I couldn’t be. I needed my husband, but he wasn’t there. Some other man was there. A man who stopped seeing me and only saw a fragile, wounded woman he had to shelter.  
    But it was all over. My husband left me. He couldn’t fix me, so he stopped trying. He told me he wanted a divorce, and I had no reason to make him stay. We weren’t the people we used to be. I still loved him, but, as much as I wanted it to be, sometimes love wasn’t enough. 
    And sometimes life threw you a curve. Like being paired with my husband on an online dating site. Could it be as easy as starting over?
