Blake never expected to meet beautiful women while studying archaeology — let alone a stunning Valkyrie. Dying was a bit of a bummer, but the chance to see Asgard with his own eyes was well worth it.

When he learns Talaya is a murder suspect, instead of walking away—because their bond over shared trauma has become unbreakable—Ridge whisks her away to the safety of Sansonique, his family’s private island.

La prima volta in cui Rosa Sauer entra nella stanza in cui dovrà consumare i suoi prossimi pasti è affamata. "Da anni avevamo fame e paura," dice. Siamo nell'autunno del 1943, a Gross-Partsch, un villaggio molto vicino alla Tana del Lupo, il nascondiglio di Hitler. Ha ventisei anni, Rosa, ed è arrivata da Berlino una settimana prima, ospite dei genitori di suo marito Gregor, che combatte sul fronte russo.

However, his mind changes when the beautiful and convincing Abena needs him too. Her plan is simple: marry for a year and then they will quietly divorce. There is just one rule—they cannot fall in love. There is also one problem—Senya has secretly loved her for years and has no plans to let her go.

It began with a stolen almost-kiss. And ended in revenge. She was never supposed to cross my path. She was never supposed to know about the oaths I swore or the secrets I keep. But like a thief in the night, she took my heart and ran… even if she wasn't mine to possess. As a member of the billionaire Elite, I live by simple tenets. A gentleman above all. Loyalty is everything.. Secrets whispered are never revealed. And power is king.

Tutto è cambiato, per Alice Allevi: è un mondo nuovo quello che la attende fuori dall'Istituto di Medicina Legale in cui ha trascorso anni complicati ma, a loro modo, felici. Alice infatti non è più una specializzanda, ma è a pieno titolo una Specialista in Medicina Legale. E la luminosa (forse) e accidentata (quasi sicuramente) avventura della libera professione la attende.

My so-called brothers in oath have betrayed me. Perhaps they forgot how many of their secrets I’ve been keeping. Tonight, vengeance is mine.

At the center of it all is the woman I never saw coming. The woman who owns my heart.

Pause, take a breath, and glisten... That's the better way to phrase Yasmine Brown sweating to death on her first hike, which is, obviously her punishment for being too cheap or too stubborn to buy the outdoor-loving woman she calls her best friend a stupid gift. Most people are willing to accept her famous baked desserts as the perfect present. Unfortunately, that trick doesn't work when your best friend is also your employee. One little trek to make the birthday brat happy won't kill her, right?

Tomaś Martinez has had a crush on his best friend’s mother, Darcy MacFarland, for longer than he’s willing to admit. Would it be wrong to make those feelings known the weekend of his best friend’s wedding? Or would that a big-time party foul?

Tutto avrebbe pensato, ma non di fare la paleopatologa dopo la laurea in medicina. Non di vivere a Verona, così distante da Messina, la sua casa. Non di avere una figlia piccola a carico, la buffa Flora. Non di rintracciare il padre della suddetta figlia dopo svariati anni, di scoprirlo affascinante come quando l'aveva conosciuto e di vederlo perfetto con Flora. Non di scoprire di provare ancora qualcosa per il suddetto padre. Non di poter vantare una discreta collezione di situazioni ed esperienze imbarazzanti. La vita di Costanza Macallè può dirsi, insomma, abbastanza travagliata.
