Haven in a Heartless World

Quando Anika Moore lascia Seattle per trasferirsi a Los Angeles, crede che quella sia finalmente la sua occasione per ricominciare. Dopo un'infanzia difficile, la potente famiglia Sheridan è pronta ad accoglierla sotto la propria ala protettiva e a offrirle una nuova casa e la possibilità di frequentare la Windsor Crest Academy, uno dei college più prestigiosi di Los Angeles. Ma dietro l'apparenza perfetta degli Sheridan si nascondono misteri oscuri. Nella loro lussuosa villa vive anche Tyron Sheridan, il figlio ribelle e imprevedibile, un ragazzo tanto affascinante quanto pericoloso. Da quando suo fratello maggiore Christoffer è morto in circostanze misteriose, Tyron è cambiato. Freddo, arrogante e divorato dalla rabbia, sembra deciso a distruggere chiunque gli si avvicini. E l'arrivo di Anika è l'ultima cosa che desidera. Accanto a Tyron ci sono Evander Jones e Cameron Harris, amici inseparabili e complici nelle sue provocazioni. Insieme sembrano dominare la Windsor Crest, trasformando ogni rivalità in un gioco crudele. Ma non tutti sono disposti a restare a guardare: Carissa Carter e Daphne Wilson conoscono fin troppo bene il loro modo di giocare e non hanno alcuna intenzione di lasciarsi schiacciare. Tra sguardi pieni d'odio, tentazioni e una tensione impossibile da ignorare, ciò che nasce tra Anika e Tyron si trasforma presto in una guerra silenziosa. E mentre il passato degli Sheridan continua a gettare ombre sul presente, Anika scopre che il mondo dorato in cui è entrata è fatto di vendette, bugie e segreti pericolosi.

The Heartless One

In picturesque Rosewood, Pennsylvania, neighbors gossip over picket fences, and gleaming SUVs sit in every crushed-granite driveway. But recently, friendly smiles have been replaced with suspicious glares and accusatory whispers—and it's all because Hanna, Aria, Emily, and Spencer just can't keep their mouths shut. . . . First they claimed they found a dead body in the woods behind Spencer's house, only to have it vanish without a trace. Then when the same woods went up in flames, they swore they saw someone who's supposed to be dead rise from the ashes. And even after all that, the pretty little liars are still playing with fire. Hanna's trading in her Dior trench for a straitjacket. Aria's trying to contact the dead. Emily's dumped her boyfriend and is skipping town . . . again. And Spencer thinks someone in her family has gotten away with murder. The friends insist they're telling the truth about what they saw, but all of Rosewood thinks they're simply out for attention—and nobody likes a girl who cries wolf. So when the big bad killer comes after the girls, will anyone believe them . . . or will they be the next to disappear?

Heartless: Sin límites

Uwięziona przez Kościół. Wyzwolona przez trzech bezlitosnych grzeszników. Romina dorastała zamknięta w dzwonnicy uniwersyteckiej kaplicy, znając jedynie ciszę, modlitwy i strach wpajany jej przez arcybiskupa Claude’a Frollo. Dla Kościoła była problemem, który należało ukryć. Dla swojego opiekuna – własnością. Dla studentów – nieuchwytną legendą, o której szeptano po zmroku. Kiedy los stawia na jej drodze Feliksa, Sonny’ego i Corvina, otwiera przed nią świat, w którym pożądanie splata się z władzą, a bliskość nigdy nie jest prosta. Między nimi rodzi się intensywna, mroczna relacja, oparta na kontroli, pragnieniu i niebezpiecznej fascynacji jedną kobietą. Gdy dzwonnica przestaje być jedynym więzieniem, a granice zaczynają się zacierać, Romina musi zdecydować, czy pozostać milczącą legendą… czy przyjąć rolę w układzie, który łamie zasady i burzy porządek świata, jaki znała. Nawet grzesznik uklęknie na zapowiedź tego, co nadchodzi. Ta historia jest naprawdę HOT. Sugerowany wiek: 18+

Heartless Heathens

From New York Times bestselling legend Mary Balogh—and the beloved author of Longing, Silent Melody, and Beyond the Sunrise—comes a ravishing novel of passion and duty, love and menace.... Life has taught Lucas Kendrick, Duke of Harndon, that a heart is a decided liability. Betrayed by his elder brother, rejected by his fiancée, banished by his father, and shunned by his mother, Luke fled to Paris, where he became the most sought-after bachelor in fashionable society. Ten years later, fate has brought him back home to England as head of the family who rejected him. Unwilling as he is to be involved with them, he must assume responsibility for his younger siblings, the family estate he once loved—and the succession. He faces the prospect of marrying with the greatest reluctance—until he sees beguiling Lady Anna Marlowe across a ballroom one night. Anna, far from being the bright-eyed innocent Luke takes her for, is no more a stranger to the shadows of a painful past than he is. But for her, marriage cannot so easily solve what is wrong in her life—not when a tormentor stalks her to the very doors of Bowden Abbey, where Luke and Anna must learn to trust in each other or risk any chance they may have for a happy future.
