Ein sicheres Zuhause
Nach einem harten Winter erwacht Three Pines zu neuem Leben. Während die Dorfbewohner Vorbereitungen für einen ganz besonderen Gedenktag treffen, machen sich Chief Inspector Armand Gamache und Jean-Guy Beauvoir zunehmend Sorgen: Ein junger Mann und seine Schwester sind nach Three Pines zurückgekehrt. Als die Ermittler sie kennengelernt haben, waren Fiona und Samuel noch Kinder. Ihre Mutter war ermordet worden, an einem trostlosen Novembermorgen am Ufer eines gottverlassenen Sees. Es war der erste gemeinsame Fall der Ermittler. Was wollen die Geschwister Jahre später in Three Pines? Während Gamache versucht, Antworten zu finden, wird der 160 Jahre alte Brief eines Steinmetzes entdeckt. Darin beschreibt der Mann, wie ihn die Angst überkam, als er im Dorf eine Dachkammer zumauerte. Die Bewohner von Three Pines finden den Raum und beschließen, ihn zu öffnen. Gamache merkt bald, dass mehr darin steckt, als man auf den ersten Blick sieht. Durch die Enthüllung betritt ein alter Feind ihre Welt und bedroht, was Gamache am meisten bedeutet: sein Zuhause.

Twisted Games - Special Edition
She can never be his...but he's taking her anyway.
Stoic, broody, and arrogant, elite bodyguard Rhys Larsen has two rules: 1) Protect his clients at all costs 2) Do not become emotionally involved. Ever.
He has never once been tempted to break those rules...until her.
Bridget von Ascheberg. A princess with a stubborn streak that matches his own and a hidden fire that reduces his rules to ash. She's nothing he expected and everything he never knew he needed.
Day by day, inch by inch, she breaks down his defenses until he's faced with a truth he can no longer deny: he swore an oath to protect her, but all he wants is to ruin her. Take her.
Because she's his.
His princess.
His forbidden fruit.
His every depraved fantasy.
***
Regal, strong-willed, and bound by the chains of duty, Princess Bridget dreams of the freedom to live and love as she chooses.
But when her brother abdicates, she's suddenly faced with the prospect of a loveless, politically expedient marriage and a throne she never wanted.
And as she navigates the intricacies-and treacheries-of her new role, she must also hide her desire for a man she can't have.
Her bodyguard.
Her protector.
Her ultimate ruin.
Unexpected and forbidden, theirs is a love that could destroy a kingdom...and doom them both.
Twisted Games is a contemporary royal bodyguard romance. It's book two of the Twisted series but can be read as a standalone.
Warning: This book contains a possessive alpha hero, explicit sexual content, and profanity.

The Poison Balance: When the rains fell, the world burned...
'When the rains fell, the world burned...' After a childhood spent in the foster care system, failed PhD student Amy Weston attracts trouble wherever she goes. Acid rain is destroying London's trees, brain lesions are turning once-harmless pets into killer dogs, and her new work colleague, Professor Joel Harket, is the most infuriating man she has ever met. But when the media continue to insist that autumn has simply come early, and humans begin to experience the same symptoms as the killer dogs, Amy must work alongside Joel in order to convince the world of the seriousness of the situation, before it is too late. From the UN Air Health summit in Beijing to the abandoned tunnels beneath the city of London, Amy and Joel search for answers to prevent the end of the world, and as Nelson's Column crumbles and zombie-like 'howlers' wreak havoc worldwide, they discover that the only way to survive the apocalypse is to set aside their differences... and learn to trust each other.

Nach der Natur - Imaginations of Nature. Poetry: Poetica 9
Gedichte von Dichterinnen und Dichtern aus vielen Ländern der Welt. So allgegenwärtig wie seit Langem nicht ist die Natur im gesellschaftlichen Diskurs. Nach zwei Jahrhunderten Technisierung und Ressourcenverbrauch dämmert uns jetzt, wie umfassend wir Teil von ihr sind. Die Dichtung hat über die Jahrhunderte nie den engen Bezug zur Natur verloren, nur schien "Naturdichtung" trotz ihrer kritischen Töne eine zeitlose und deshalb nicht besonders aufregende Nebendisziplin, nicht der Gravitationsraum literarischer Debatten. Wenn ein Gedicht heute die Natur ins Wort nimmt, kommt es nicht umhin, auch den akuten Zustand der Natur einzubeziehen - zu referieren auf das Leben nach der Katastrophe in Fukushima, auf die vom steigenden Meeresspiegel bedrohten karibischen Inseln, auf die Tradition und politischen Restriktionen persischer Naturdichtung, auf die Ausbeutung der Natur in Lateinamerika ... Mit Gedichten von: Daniela Danz, Ali Abollahi, Takako Arai, Camille T. Dungy, Kendel Hippolyte, Esther Kinsky, Nikola Madzirov, María Paz Guerrero, Rou Reynolds, Liana Sakelliou, Raphael Urweider.Zweisprachig, in den Originalsprachen und Übersetzungen.

The Game
A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.
It started out like any other Tuesday.
I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine-feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.
But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.
Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.
Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team's quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.
Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.
But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I'd ever come across.
It would be wrong, wouldn't it?
Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong...sometimes they feel so right.

Someone To Wed
CHERYL HOLT delivers the third and final novel in her thrilling and delightful Lost Girls trilogy...
Joanna James had a brief moment of notoriety at age four when she survived a shipwreck in the Caribbean. She was returned to England and raised quietly in the country by a doting auntie. She's descended from an ancient line of wise women, so she's very different from other young ladies. She has the sight, and she can cast spells and brew potions, but she's cautious with her peculiar gifts and hides them from her rural neighbors who don't always understand her odd talents.
Captain Jacob Ralston works hard to be boring and ordinary. After learning at age ten that his notorious father was a bigamist and liar, he swore he'd grow up to be the most moral man in the kingdom. He would never rock a boat or raise a brow. After a stellar career in the navy, he's determined to retire to the country, marry the fiancée his mother picked for him, and force himself to be content.
When he crosses paths with peculiar, fascinating Joanna, he's instantly bowled over. She's beautiful, intriguing, and not like any woman he's ever met. He can't imagine how he would ever bind himself, but Fate and destiny have other plans for him, and Joanna just might be the one woman who can make him happy forever...* * *Lost forever...finally found...

Elizabeth Haysom: Reality Check: The Girl, Who Spent 33 Years In Prison
Elizabeth Roxanne Haysom (*1964) is the protagonist of one of the most spectacular crimes of the last decades. In March 1985, she had her parents murdered by her lover Jens Soering, the then 18-year-old son of a German diplomat. To this day, there is speculation as to whether Haysom herself was at the crime scene. ¿ The gruesome massacre was preceded by a fierce love affair between the highly gifted students. Letters that Haysom and Soering sent to each other before the crime, as well as a joint diary they kept during the escape, are characterized by high literary quality and intellectual brilliance ¿ and this primarily applies to Elizabeth Haysom¿s writings. The two perpetrators, each sentenced to 90 years, were released on parole in November 2019 after more than 33 years in prison. Elizabeth Haysom has remained silent since her conviction. Only a column that she wrote between 2003 and 2008 for a regional newspaper, the ¿Fluvanna Review¿, gives insight into her feelings and once again shows her great writing talent. These numerous essays are collected in this book, as well as a more recent statement from the year 2019.
