La Terre s'est purgée en reprenant le territoire qui lui est dû. Si plusieurs continents sont noyés, en cendres ou…
toujours coincés dans des brasiers infernaux, les habitants de Shaeganna, eux, ont construit une véritable forteresse à l'abri des dangers de dame Nature. Un lieu paisible en surface, mais pourri de l'intérieur. Louanie vit comme une recluse à l'extérieur de ce royaume; ce n'est pas par choix, mais par obligation. Vendue par ses parents à un retraité mythomane, elle ne peut que se soumettre à lui. Qui aurait pensé que de souffrir toutes ces années aux mains de ce mari sadique lui ouvrirait les portes de cette cité tant convoitée ? Bernée par la croyance que cette nouvelle vie serait digne d'un rêve, vu l'opulence qui y règne, Lou était loin de s'imaginer que de porter l'uniforme d'une Shae lui coûterait tout, même son identité... Elle comprend alors qu'elle a quitté un monstre pour un autre, sans pitié. Là où la torture est une tradition, naître femme est une abominationBy Suzanne Allain. 2024
From the author of Mr. Malcolm's List comes a delightful romantic comedy set in Regency England about a widow who…
takes high society by storm. Diana Boyle, a wealthy young widow, has no desire to ever marry again. Particularly not to someone who merely wants her for her fortune. So when she discovers that she&’s listed in a directory of rich, single women she is furious, and rightly so. She confronts Maxwell Dean, the man who published the Bachelor&’s Directory , and is horrified to find he is far more attractive than his actions have led her to expect. However, Diana is unmoved by Max&’s explanation that he authored the list to assist younger sons like himself who cannot afford to marry unless it&’s to a woman of means. She gathers the ladies in the directory together to inform them of its existence, so they may circumvent fortune hunters&’ efforts to trick them into marriage. Though outraged, the women decide to embrace their unique position of power and reverse the usual gender roles by making the men dance to their tune. And together… the ladies rewrite the rulesBy Harper L Woods. 2023
Raised to be my father's weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, I would do…
anything to protect my younger brother from suffering the same fate. My duty forces me to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow's Grove University—where the best and brightest of my kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment. There are no whispered words here. No condemnation for the blood that flows through my veins. The only animosity I face comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises me just as much as I loathe him and everything he stands for. But that doesn't mean secrets don't threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend. Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen: thirteen promising students destined to change the world. If the ghosts of Hollow's Groves' victims don't kill them first... The Coven is book one in the Coven of Bones series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is a gothic, dark-academia, paranormal romance and includes elements that may be triggering to some listenersBy Stacia Stark. 2024

Mia Madden is pretty sure that the road to dating app hell is paved with suspiciously hot profiles. Take tonight's…

When Naya thrusts herself into Adam's life to request a place on his clandestine team of guardians, he turns her away.
