Synopsis

In "Witch of the Demon Seas," Poul Anderson masterfully intertwines elements of science fiction and fantasy to craft a narrative rich in adventure and moral complexity. Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous sea filled with supernatural occurrences, the story follows the daring exploits of a young sailor caught in a web of sorcery and danger. Anderson employs a lyrical prose style that evokes the atmosphere of maritime mythology while exploring themes of courage, loyalty, and the conflict between man and the unknown, drawing readers into a world where the line between reality and fantasy blurs seamlessly. Poul Anderson, a prominent figure in science fiction literature, was known for his deep interest in mythology and historical narrative, which permeates this work. His rich background in physics and an extensive knowledge of Norse mythology and seafaring lore undoubtedly influenced his depiction of a world fraught with moral ambiguity and treacherous waters. This fusion of scientific inquiry with fantastical elements reflects Anderson's belief in the power of storytelling to illuminate human experience against a grand cosmic backdrop. Readers searching for an exhilarating voyage through the realms of dark magic and high seas will find "Witch of the Demon Seas" both compelling and thought-provoking. Anderson'Äôs deft storytelling provides an engaging exploration of human resilience amidst the supernatural, making this novel a must-read for aficionados of both science fiction and folklore.

    Bestselling historical romance author Sherry Thomas branches out with her first contemporary romance about a chance meeting a lifetime in the making, and an all-consuming affair without a single predictable moment.  
    Sometimes The One, the one you didn’t even know you’ve been waiting for, at last comes along… 
    Evangeline Canterbury has always appeared perfectly composed and perfectly content. No one knows the fear and turmoil she holds inside and she is happy to hide behind her façade. Until she meets Bennett Somerset on a night when her façade has fallen by the wayside, her misery visible for miles. 
    His presence is beguiling enough that such an inauspicious beginning morphs into a lovely one-night stand. But Evangeline becomes less sure when he ropes her into a fake relationship, so he can use her connections to get close to his estranged parents. She doesn’t want to be exploited, but he is very beautiful, very charming, and very, very, very persuasive. 
    At first she is only afraid that she might fall in love—and that he would walk away when he has reconciled with his parents. Then she realizes that he knows her far better than she wants him to, and understands her in ways that threaten the very foundation of her façade. She is desperate to run from him, but what if—what if he actually wants the real her?

    Billionaire Rose West suffers no fools. 
    Growing up abandoned by her parents and left to the socialite wolves at an all-girl boarding school, Rose learned early on how to survive with a smile, a wink, and cleavage full of cash. 
    As an oil baroness, a soon-to-be honors graduate from a prestigious university, and a fairly attractive woman --if you’re into big hair and bigger boobs-- Rose is poised to take over the world. 
    Too bad she has no idea what she wants to do with her life. 
    Hashtag quarterlife crisis 
    NASA astronaut Vance Bodaway made a deal with himself a long time ago—be an astronaut, be alone. 
    After his Army captain father died in action, Vance saw first-hand what losing a husband did to his mother. He promised himself to never put someone he cares about in that situation. 
    So he keeps his dating life casual and has made peace with not having a family of his own. 
    Until a feisty blonde with a penchant for glitter and trouble enters his orbit, challenging all his hard-and-fast rules. 
    Hashtag friends with benefits. 
    But between Rose’s pole dance classes with Vance’s mom, their hands-free shot contest at the bar, and a run-in with mall security during a Black Friday shopping fiasco, their no-strings-attached booty calls agreement starts to cross emotional stopgaps neither one of them knew they had. 
    And when a different clock starts ticking, the kind with a “T-minus nine months” countdown, will these two be able to power cycle through their emotional baggage and lift-off into love? 
    Or will they crash and burn?
