Sinopse

1975 was shaping up to be Joe Holland's year. Everything was clicking into place. In the first few months he'd passed his driving test, completed his electrical apprenticeship and was approaching his twenty first birthday, when he'd gain access to his deceased grandfather's inheritance money. Apart from his toxic relationship with his stepfather, life was good. But in May, a family skeleton came rattling out of the cupboard where it had been hidden for decades. Joe was to learn that every tree, including a family tree, was only as strong (or weak) as it's roots. And his was about to come toppling down. Once over the initial shock, his search for answers, and resolution, would take him from the leafy suburbs of Hertfordshire to the mean streets of New York City, and a date with destiny.

The Soldier's Trainer - A...

Rose Fresquez

He’s given everything to the Army. The Army has taken everything from her. Can they possibly find everything in each other?
Career soldier Chad Whitlock doesn’t expect a victory in his life’s battles. After his wife divorced him during one of his deployments, the Army’s all he has left. But when a mysterious stranger sends packages and an inspirational note to his unit, Chad’s response enlists him in a new operation—friendship with Tessa. When a mission gone wrong brings him face to face with death, looking at Tessa’s picture is a reminder of the second chance at love he could have with her.
Physical therapist Tessa Richardson is more comfortable rehabilitating her patients than probing her wounded heart. Since her dad died in combat, sending packages to support the soldiers seems safe… until one writes her back. A year later, eager to meet Chad in person, she wasn’t ready for him to sweep her into an unexpected—and incredible—kiss at the airport. Now, how’s she supposed to train this charming soldier for a marathon while caught in a crossfire between her fears and hopes?
Even if Tessa could risk loving another emotionally unavailable man, Convincing Chad that she’s playing for keeps might be harder than wrestling a bear. With nightmares, childhood trauma and struggling to adjust to civilian life, Chad has a full plate and would rather not drag Tessa into his mess.
He’s fought for his country, but will he be brave enough to fight for her girl? And will she realize that love is worth surrendering her fears?

S.W. Clarke

Beyond the walls of the last human kingdom, only the ruthless survive. 
Acid rain has scoured the world for four hundred years, leaving humanity clinging to a single barren stronghold. Eurydice, a lowborn guard, devotes her life to protecting it¿ until she's captured by the monsters outside the walls. 
Dragged into the autumn court of Feyreign, Eurydice finds herself in a realm where strength is survival and softness is prey. Even love there is a blade-beautiful, but made to cut. 
When she's chosen for the court's deadly trials, Eurydice must fight for a title she never wanted-or die trying. Her assigned partner is Dorian: handsome, unreadable, and bound to the court by a vicious past. He's meant to keep her alive, yet Eurydice can't decide if he's her protector¿ or her executioner. 
As politics sharpen and the autumn queen hungers for blood, Eurydice must play a dangerous game-one where the prize is a kingdom, and the cost is everything she thought she knew. 
A Curse of Storms and Scorn is the first novel in a character-driven romantasy series filled with deadly trials, courtly intrigue, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a fiercely competent heroine determined to survive on her own terms. Perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Throne of Glass, and The Bridge Kingdom.
