Summary

"POWERFUL AND POIGNANT…I LOVED THIS BOOK."
- Jane Porter, NYT Bestselling Author
 
A FISH-OUT-OF-WATER TIME TRAVEL NOVEL
SET IN REGENCY ENGLAND
AND THE 21ST CENTURY COLORADO ROCKIES
Nadine Finley has made the quantum commute to 1811 to stop Jane Austen from meeting and marrying Captain Charles Gordon. The two of them share a romantic past, and if Nadine fails in her mission, Jane will never get to London. The fledgling author will never get her first book ready for publication. And if the novel is never readied for the presses, Jane will never go back home and revise the manuscript that will eventually become Pride and Prejudice. In short, disaster.
The mission instructions were plain and simple: Jane Austen cannot marry.
Except...matters become extremely complicated when the Scribe Guardian's own romantic interest unintentionally follows her across the centuries to 1811.
Xander Nouri is a tech billionaire who is cheerfully unfamiliar with both history and literature. He has also forged a life where he is insulated from the non-quantifiable uncertainties of feelings and romance. In fact, the only time he let his guard down was for three wildly unexpected days in Las Vegas when he allowed his heart to be fondled and then stomped on by an elusive woman named Nadine. Xander lives in a world of reason, facts, and data…none of which explain her appearance, dressed in period clothing, in a coffin a mile from his secluded mountain home.
And her claim of time traveling doesn't exactly compute.
It's not long before sparks once again begin to fly between the former lovers. But Nadine needs to get back to her mission before literary history is permanently damaged. By the time she's able to make the quantum leap back in time, Jane Austen and the captain have already met again...and romance is brewing.
To complicate matters, Xander has made the trip, as well. And Xander is the unlikeliest 'nerd-out-of-water' ever to land on Regency shores.

    When there's a devil on one shoulder, isn't there supposed to be an angel on the other? 
Nick managed not to die, saved the day, and settled in for a comfortable career at Devil Co. That means it’s the perfect time for God to have other plans for him– and guess who shows up to try and poach Nick for Their organization? Why have one complicated job working for a personified deity, when you can have two? 
Caught between worlds, and moonlighting for the “good guys,” Nick learns his deal with Lucifer might not be what it seems. Uncovering a scheme to take advantage of the Devil himself rocks Nick to his core, and makes him question everything. The line between good and evil gets blurrier by the day, and Nick doesn’t know which shoulder angel to trust. 
His partner Amy, a witch growing into powers of her own, warns him of the danger he faces, but can’t stop Nick from running headlong into it. Can Nick save himself, or will Amy need to make an ally of a former foe to save him from a fate worse than decaf?

    Milano, anno 2050. Il caldo estremo domina ogni aspetto della vita quotidiana, e i cittadini sono obbligati a vivere dietro schermi protettivi, sorvegliati e regolati da dispositivi tecnologici. Atra e Maso, due adolescenti alla ricerca di emozioni vere, sfidano i limiti di questa società iper-controllata per ritrovare ciò che sembra perduto: la libertà di sentire, di scegliere, di amare. Un bacio proibito, il profumo di una fragola clandestina, e la ribellione ai protocolli imposti diventano gesti rivoluzionari, fragili e coraggiosi allo stesso tempo. 
2050, kiss me è un racconto distopico intenso e delicato, un invito a proteggere la nostra umanità dalle derive di un futuro fin troppo plausibile.
