Falling Kingdoms

da Morgan Rhodes

«War brought them together. Love will tear them apart. Princess Cleo of Mytica confronts violence for the first time in her life when a shocking murder sets her kingdom on a path to collapse. Once a privileged royal, Cleo must now summon the strength to survive in this new world and fight for her rightful place as Queen. The King of Limeros's son, Magnus, must plan each footstep with shrewd, sharp guile if he is to earn his powerful father's trust, while his sister, Lucia, discovers a terrifying secret about her heritage that will change everything. Rebellious Jonas lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country cruelly impoverished--and finds himself the leader of a people's revolution centuries in the making. Witches, if found, are put to death, and Watchers, immortal beings who take the shape of hawks to visit the human world, have been almost entirely forgotten. A vicious power struggle quickly escalates to war, and these four young people collide against each other and the rise of elementia, the magic that can topple kingdoms and crown a ruler in the same day.»

Em Exclusivo

da Nora Roberts

Mas quando o misterioso escritor a desafiou a entrevistá-lo durante um acampamento por uma zona perdida nas montanhas, Lee descobriu que aquilo era algo mais do que uma simples entrevista, que ele era algo mais do que um simples escritor de livros de terror.

Flores da Tempestade

da Laura Kinsale

«Christian Langland, duque de Jervaulx, é dissoluto e arrogante. Mas é também um homem brilhante. Considerado um "génio" da Matemática, está a desenvolver uma teoria revolucionária com a ajuda do notável John Timms. Porém, esta parceria só é possível graças a Maddy, filha de John. Recatada e meiga, a jovem vive para ser os "olhos" do pai, que é cego há já algum tempo. Apesar de repudiar pessoas como Christian, Maddy não consegue evitar o fascínio que sente por ele. E quando Christian é dado como morto, a dimensão do seu próprio sofrimento surpreende-a profundamente…

O tempo passa e Maddy aceita trabalhar num asilo. Uma decisão que terá efeitos inesperados pois é lá que reencontra… Christian. O duque está vivo, sim, mas irreconhecível. Vítima de um trágico ataque, é tido como louco e abandonado por todos. A começar pela própria família, que tudo fará para o manter preso e açambarcar a fortuna. Frustrado com a sua incapacidade de comunicar, Christian é uma sombra do que foi em tempos. Maddy é a única a ver nele uma centelha do homem fulgurante do passado. A jovem está determinada a curá-lo, mas nunca poderia imaginar que a sua ânsia de o ajudar fosse alterar tanto as vidas de ambos… e uni-los no desejo… e no amor.»

O Prof

da Vi Keeland

«Há algo de irresistível num homem de fato e com uma mente atrevida… mais ainda se for o teu professor. Quando Caine West me conheceu, não foi um dos meus melhores momentos — eu tinha bebido demais, confundi-o com outra pessoa e ele devorava-me com os olhos, o suficiente para me tirar do sério.

Só depois, ao encontrá-lo na universidade, descobri: o sensual Caine West, com o seu sorrisinho presunçoso, viria a ser o meu novo professor. Melhor ainda: eu trabalharia para ele como sua assistente. Eu, Rachel, que o tratara como um imbecil e atacara os seus enormes… atributos.

Bela maneira de te apresentares ao teu prof! 

Tentei desculpar-me, e ele fez questão de me relembrar da hierarquia da sala de aula. Desde então, tento ser profissional, mas o magnetismo dele é inegável. Com rosto (e corpo!) de deus grego e uma voz grave e aveludada, não me admira que as alunas suspirem à sua passagem. Só não contava ficar também eu hipnotizada pelo charme do meu professor… E pela forma como a camisa lhe assenta nos braços bem definidos ou como as suas mãos parecem saber sempre o que fazer…

Bolas, Rachel, no que é que te estás a meter? 

Não me faltam ideias sobre como poderíamos passar algum tempo sozinhos na sala de aulas!»

Second Nature

by Nora Roberts

«For Celebrity magazine reporter Lee Radcliffe, tracking down the world-famous, notoriously private, horror-story writer Hunter Brown had become a personal quest.

Her carefully planned ambush finally paid off at a small writer's conference in Flagstaff, Arizona. But when the master of the supernatural turned out to be a dark-eyed master of seduction, Lee knew that it would take more than just good interviewing skills to get her an exclusive. Digging into private lives was her business, but now Hunter Brown had turned the tables. With one smoldering kiss he had exacted his price.»

Flowers From the Storm

by Laura Kinsale

«The Duke of Jervaulx was brilliant - and dangerous. Considered dissolute, reckless, and extravagant, he was transparently referred to as the "D of J" in scandal sheets. But sometimes the most womanizing rakehell can be irresistible, and even his most causal attentions fascinated the sheltered Maddy Timms. 

Then one fateful day she receives the shocking news - the duke is lost to the world. And Maddy knows it is her destiny to help him and her only chance to find the true man behind the wicked facade. 

But she never dreamed her gentle, healing touch would alter his life and her own so completely - and bind them together in need, desire...and love.»

Beautiful Mistake

by Vi Keeland

«The first time I met Caine West was in a bar.

He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out.

When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight—telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass.

You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend--smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married.
He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he'd done.
Especially when that lazy smile graced his perfect face in response to my rant.
Only it turned out, the man I'd just told off wasn't the right guy.
Oops. My mistake.
Embarrassed, I slunk out without an apology.
I was never going to see the handsome stranger again anyway, right?
That’s what I thought…until I walked into class the next morning.
Well, hello Professor West, I’m your new teaching assistant.
I’ll be working under you…figuratively speaking.
Although the literal interpretation might not be such a bad thing—working under Professor West.
This was going to be interesting…»
