Evensong

Stewart O'Nan

Sinossi

'Always, [O'Nan] is a master at quotidian details, a master at human emotion. Always, he writes with a huge and generous heart. Evensong is tender and funny, poignant and true. The novel is a little miracle' Boston Globe



The Humpty Dumpty Club is distraught when their powerhouse leader, Joan Hargrove, takes a bad fall down the stairs, knocking her out of commission. Now, as well as running errands and shepherding those less able to their doctors' appointments, they have to pick up the slack.


Between navigating their own relationships and aging bodies and attending choir practice, these invisible yet indomitable women help where they can. Weaving together the perspectives of the four cardinal members as they tend to those in need, Stewart O'Nan has fashioned a rich and moving novel that celebrates our capacity for patience and care. Vivid, warm and often wryly funny, Evensong reminds us that life is made up of moments both climactic and quotidian, and we weather those moments with the people we choose to keep close.

Rogue Games - A Wolf Shifter...

Reece Barden

Dean 
I've kept my territory closed and my pack safe for years, ruling with an iron fist because that's what it takes to survive. When I'm forced to host the Alpha Games and open my borders to outsiders, I tell myself I can handle anything—until she walks in, a rogue shifter with fire in her eyes and trouble written all over her. 
As accidents plague the competition and threaten her life, I find myself breaking every rule I've made to keep her safe. 
Jamie 
The Alpha Games are my one shot at winning a territory, at finally belonging somewhere, anywhere, after years of being a rogue—I never expected to find myself drawn to Dean Reynolds, the notoriously brutal alpha hosting the competition. 
They call him the angriest alpha, but there's something else beneath that cold exterior that draws me in, even as my chances in the games are put in jeopardy by those who don't want a rogue to win. 
Now I have to decide what's more important: the territory I've always dreamed of, or risking everything for a man who might be too dangerous to love. 
This enemies-to-lovers shifter romance is packed with delicious tension, dangerous games, and two stubborn wolves who are about to learn that the heart wants what it wants—whether they like it or not. Perfect for readers who love their alphas dominant AF, their heroines badass, and their romance scorching hot. Contains explicit scenes, mature language, and a guaranteed HEA that'll make your kindle steam.

But wouldn’t you know it? The gods have decided they want it back. The nerve, amirite?
Suddenly, some Elric wannabe is knocking at my front door, and a bounty-hunting rakshasa's hot on my tail. To top it off, my immortal benefactor won’t help me out until I do his dirty deeds.

Draeme Saekyr

A brawler and bonafide delinquent, Kellen was one of the first to catch sight of Kiernan after he was captured in female form.

Now, he faces a difficult choice. Should Kellen help someone technically an enemy or attempt to become at least a frenemy who wouldn't leave him in the lurch? Those questions have haunted Kellen; now is the time for him to step up or completely turn his back on everything he's worked hard for. Not only that, but he's about to learn a hard lesson in valuing genuine, friendly familial bonds over a missing blood family that would kill him as soon as they glimpse him in an unobtrusive corner.
