Terwijl Mikolaj bezig is met zijn gewelddadige plan, loopt alles anders dan verwacht. Er hangt een vreemde spanning tussen hem en de mooie ballerina die hij ontvoerd heeft. Nessa zou niet meer moeten zijn dan een pion in zijn spel, maar waarom lijkt hij dan soms toch iets voor haar… te voelen? Maar heeft Mikolaj nog wel een hart dat veroverd kan worden?

He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people, no matter what it costs him .
. . or her.
Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky.
His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home. Be careful of the deals you make, dear child.
The devil is in the details . . .

Once the most notorious rivals in the music scene, pop princess Mackenzie Waters and punk rockstar Sam Blaze electrified audiences as their bands clashed on stage. But behind the scenes, their simmering tension grew into something more – until suddenly both bands fell apart, and the idea of Mackenzie and Sam did, too. Two years later, Sam has traded the rockstar lifestyle for a quiet life raising the son he didn’t know about.
Meanwhile, Mackenzie is dealing with a post-operative change in her voice by only singing under a pseudonym. The only way to revive their public careers? A joint comeback album. With fans over the moon and their futures on the line, Sam and Mackenzie face their biggest challenge yet: giving up the old rivalry and learning to work together.
But as old sparks fly and new secrets emerge, they set off a chain reaction neither of them could have anticipated – one that proves that sometimes, the greatest hits are the ones yet to be written.
There’s a tradition in the Sharp family that some possess the Second Sight. But is it superstition, or true psychic power? Kit Sharp is in Paris, where she is involved in a love affair with the stunning Evelyn Larsen, and working as an archivist, having inherited her historian father’s fascination with the Bayeux Tapestry.
He believes that parts of the tapestry were made before 1066, and that it was a tool for prediction, not a simple record of events. The Nazis are also obsessed with the tapestry: convinced that not only did it predict the Norman Conquest of England, but that it will aid them in their invasion of Britain. Ivy Sharp has joined the Special Operations Executive – the SOE – a secret unit set up to carry out espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance.
Having demonstrated that she has extraordinary powers of perception, she is dropped into Northern France on a special mission. With the war on a knife edge, the Sharp Sisters face certain death. Can their courage and extrasensory gifts prevent the enemy from using the tapestry to bring about a devastating victory against the Allied Forces?
An epic and romantic debut adventure fantasy, where a necromancer trying to resurrect her sister gets embroiled in bigger, world-ending plans instead.
Emily Thiede, author of This Vicious Grace Necromancer Azul del Arroyo only wants one thing: to steal her sister back from Death by reclaiming her sister’s bones. But the Emissary of the Lord Death will do anything to stop her, no matter how alluring he finds her … As their paths collide, they’re drawn into a deadly game of pawns and power with a scheming court, a faceless witch, and the fate of the lands hanging in the balance. For long ago the gods raised the continents, binding them with their own bones to keep humanity alive.
But in an era when the gods’ sacrifice has been forgotten, Death might not be the only resentful god Azul must defy. Swashbuckling, grand, and tragically romantic, Mistress of Bones is a can’t-miss start to a duology about love, loss, and, of course, death.
WOULD IT BE SO BAD, TO BE DEVOURED?Fi has carved out a career as a cross-dimensional smuggler by sticking to simple rules: keep your routes secret, always draw your energy sword first, and – at all costs – avoid the daeyari, the carnivorous immortals who have ruled for millennia. When she’s hired to smuggle a bomb into the capital, instinct tells her the risk isn’t worth the pay, but the entreaty of a long-lost friend guilts her into accepting. Until the heist goes terribly wrong, and Fi is thrown at the feet of the daeyari lord, Antal, as payment.
Antal is a hunter – cold and cunning and furious at Fi for her part in the attack on his city. Her saving grace is a common enemy: he’ll spare her if she helps him uncover who masterminded the scheme. To save her life, her family, and the village she calls home, Fi must join Antal on a new hunt with far higher stakes than she’s ever faced before, bartering with neighbouring immortals who might offer an alliance – or tear their throats out in the snow.
She’s always known the dangers of her trade – and of the power she’s wielded since childhood, allowing her to see the secret doors between realities, to walk the Void itself. But nothing could have prepared her for meeting Antal. For the deal she’s been forced to make, and what that deal might ignite.
A revolution. And a temptation – for how sweet the monster’s fangs might feel.
THE HOUSE AT WATCH HILL was a patient beast, born of dichotomy, a familiar stranger, a beautiful monstrosity. It seduced before it terrified.
And it would never be done with me… I was the sweetest thing the evil in those walls ever tasted.
Zo Grey is still reeling from the sudden death of her mother when she receives a call from an unknown attorney in Divinity, Louisiana, offering her an inheritance from a long-lost relative.
With nothing left to lose, Zo heads to Divinity and discovers a sprawling mansion that seems to pull inward – Watch Hill, an entity cloaked in shadows and laden with secrets. But there’s a catch: she must endure three years alone within its ominous walls to claim her fortune. As Zo delves deeper into the mansion’s mysteries, she encounters a sinister, red-eyed owl, a captivating Scottish groundskeeper, doors that go nowhere, others that are impossible to open, and a turret into which there is no visible means of ingress, all while the townsfolk whisper of dark legends.
Unaware of her own ties to the house, Zo must confront ancient evils and unlock something deep and dark within herself . . .
before evil consumes her completely.

She doesn’t belong to him…she belongs to the crown.
Prince Tristan Faasa was never destined for the throne. That was always his brother, Michael. The same brother responsible for both Tristan’s tormented childhood and the scar that mars his face. When their father dies, Michael is set to assume the throne, and Tristan is set to steal it. The leader of a secret rebellion, Tristan will stop at nothing to end his brother’s reign. But when Michael’s new betrothed, Lady Sara Beatreaux arrives, Tristan finds himself in the middle of a new kind of war. The kind that begs the question of what’s more important, the crown or the woman about to wear it.

And one of the men she’s been sent to kill.

One boy. One girl. Two feuding towns.
LIAM
At some point, summer became my least favorite season. It begins the build toward the inevitable highs and lows of football. Losing isn’t a trait anyone looks for in a quarterback, and I never won when it mattered. Arlington University was supposed to be a fresh start. But infamy isn’t easily forgotten– especially when everyone knows my twin sister is dating my biggest rival. Constant reminders of their relationship have me just as on edge about Alleghany as I was in high school. Spending a weekend sleeping across the hall from Natalie Jacobs doesn’t help. The popular, pretty blonde didn’t just celebrate each of my defeats–she literally led the cheer against me. Just my luck the last girl who should pique my interest is also the only one who ever has.
NATALIE
Spending the summer back in Alleghany, dealing with my parents’ problems, is the last place I want to be. I jump at the chance to spend a weekend away, visiting a college friend. I’m not expecting to know anyone else visiting her cottage on the Cape, much less come face-to-face with Glenmont’s infamous former quarterback. Not-so affectionately known as Sergeant Stevens on my side of the lake, Liam is still every bit the stoic, serious rule-follower I watched bark orders on the field for four years. Sure, he’s nice to look at–especially shirtless–but that’s where any interest begins and ends. The one thing Liam and I agree on is the rivalry between our hometowns isn’t a surpassable boundary. And if we did allow ourselves to cross it, it would only be for now…not forever.
DELUXE EDITION–a gorgeous paperback edition featuring deep violet sprayed edges!
From Harper L. Woods, comes The Cursed, the next chapter in her Coven of Bones series–a pulse-pounding romantasy where The Magicians meets Gothikana.
Betrayal.
He was the deception waiting in the night; the truth I never saw coming. After a lifetime of manipulation, I finally learned the truth. I was his puppet–even if I never saw my strings.
Even knowing how deep his betrayal runs, I can’t shake the undeniable connection between Gray and I–the way a single glance from him sets my soul on fire. We are not the same. We’re enemies, poised to battle for the future of the very thing I’d wanted to destroy.
With the Covenant gone, the revenge I thought I wanted is no longer my priority. The witches that remain played no role in my aunt’s death, and the only person standing in the way of righting those wrongs is the very man determined to keep me in his bed.
But the remaining members of the Coven will never forgive me for the role I played in their demise and subjugation, and the worst part of all is that I can’t even blame them for it. I’d been naive, believing my own delusions of grandeur when destiny clearly had other plans for me. Plans that had been set in motion centuries before my birth.
But even that had been a lie, and now it is my duty to do everything in my power to undo it.
To protect my Coven from my husband’s hatred–no matter what the cost.
I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop…
Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that.
My life is dangerous.
My calling wicked.
Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent.
I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office.
The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts.
When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.
Twenty questions to earn her trust.
Too bad trusting me is the last thing she should do.
With one kiss, I’m addicted. With one night, we’re falling into a passion greater than either of us has ever known.
The voices in my head warn I can never keep her. She can’t know the secret life I lead.
Only she’s keeping a secret, too.
And I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe, even if it means losing everything…
I should have known I’d break the oath I made when I offered to let my best friend’s little sister move in with me…
She’s the sweetest woman on the face of the planet.
And to my great misfortune, the sexiest one, too.
She’s been living under her brother’s roof her entire life, and she’s ready to spread her wings.
And I’m the masochist who offers she stay at my place until she can find an apartment.
When I hear her having a nightmare, the only thing I can do is go to her. Hold her so she knows she’s safe from her demons.
The second she’s in my arms, the attraction I’ve tried to hide sparks to life. I know better than to push past the boundaries I’ve set for us, but when she begs me to touch her in a way she’s never been touched, I can’t resist.
And with my name on her lips as I send her soaring for the first time, I know there’s no going back.
I’m willing to break every rule and oath I’ve ever made to keep her.
Accept every consequence.
Only she and I have a dark, dangerous history that no one knows about.
And I’m afraid the consequences of loving her have just caught up to us…

Born out of wedlock and shunned by society, Alma learned to make her peace with solitude, so long as she had her mother by her side. When her mother becomes gravely ill, Alma discovers a clue about her estranged father and writes a message begging for help. Little does she know that she is a bastard of House Avera, one of the four noble families that serve the gods and are imbued with their powers–and her father is a vessel of the Dread Beast, the most frightening god of all, a harbinger of death.
In a desperate exchange for her mother’s medicine, Alma agrees to sacrifice her left arm to the Beast in a ceremony that will bind her forever to the House and its deity. Regardless, her mother soon passes, leaving Alma trapped inside the Avera’s grand estate, despised by her relatives and nothing but a pawn in her father’s schemes.
Now vengeance is the only thing that keeps Alma going. That, and the strange connection she has with her god–a monster who is constantly by her side, an eldritch being taking the form of a beautiful prince with starlit hair that only she can see. He tells Alma that she has been chosen to bring change upon their world, and with his help, Alma plots a perilous journey to destroy the House that stole everything from her.
A gripping fantasy novel marked by divine rituals, intense combat, and twisted romance, House of the Beast is a tale of revenge, resilience, and the power of love to see us through the darkness.

‘A wonderfully offbeat fantasy . . . as delightful as it is impressive’ – Heather Fawcett, author of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries
From USA Today bestselling author Sav R. Miller comes the first in a dazzling spin-off trilogy focusing on the children of the original Monsters & Muses books: a dark and twisted contemporary romance inspired by the Greek Furies, set at an exclusive (and dangerous) university.
Sometimes the pomegranate doesn’t fall far from the tree…
Asher Anderson is angry. At the world, at himself, at the way his best friend Lucy Wolfe seems determined to tune out this buzzing connection between them. He doesn’t mean to solve all his problems with violence, but maybe he has too much of his father in him.
That’s why the faculty at Avernia College hates him, right? Because of the “evil” blood in his veins? He should know better than to darken the old, ivy-covered university’s door, but it’s practically a law of the universe: wherever Lucy goes, Asher follows. Even if that means entering a twisting labyrinth of secret societies, human sacrifices, and a very personal history soaked in blood.
Lucy is used to being an outcast. She’s even used to Asher being her dark, brooding shadow. What she isn’t used to is him shattering her resolve by taking her up against library bookshelves as she desperately pretends her heart hasn’t always been his.
She should know better than to play with fire, but with unexplained deaths and pointed threats ripping apart the university’s fabric, Asher and Lucy soon find themselves at the centre of the turmoil, where they’ll have to confront their feelings – or die trying.
The riveting and steamy Monsters & Muses series continues in Monsters Within – a gripping, pulse-pounding trilogy of dark spin-offs for fans of Greek mythology-inspired romance.

In de onderwereld moeten Mische en Asar het opnemen tegen verraderlijke beproevingen, kolossale beesten en wraakzuchtige geesten. Maar het gevaarlijkst van alles is de verleidelijke roep van de duisternis en de aantrekkingskracht van Asar. Mische zal moeten kiezen tussen haar geloof in de zonnegod en de liefde – een beslissing die kan leiden tot haar verlossing of haar ondergang.

Two best friends. Ten summer trips. One last chance to fall in love.
Poppy and Alex. Alex and Poppy. They have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart–she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown–but every summer, for a decade, they have taken one glorious week of vacation together.
Until two years ago, when they ruined everything. They haven’t spoken since.
Poppy has everything she should want, but she’s stuck in a rut. When someone asks when she was last truly happy, she knows, without a doubt, it was on that ill-fated, final trip with Alex. And so, she decides to convince her best friend to take one more vacation together–lay everything on the table, make it all right. Miraculously, he agrees.
Now she has a week to fix everything. If only she can get around the one big truth that has always stood quietly in the middle of their seemingly perfect relationship. What could possibly go wrong?
The third book in the sweeping, richly imagined Guardians of Dawn fantasy series from New York Times bestselling author S. Jae-Jones. Perfect for fans of Sue Lynn Tan and Judy I.
Lin. Princess Yulana has a few problems. Her late grandfather has died without naming an heir, civil war threatens to tear the Morning Realms apart, a strange waking dreamer sickness is sweeping through the land, and a plague of hungry ghosts roam the steppes.
On top of all of that, Kho, her former best friend turned rival, is getting under her skin. A struggle for power divides the north, and the outcome rests on the winner of the Grand Game-a competition that will determine not just the future of her people, but the course of the entire empire. When the world is out of balance, the Guardians of Dawn are reborn…
As the Guardian of Wind, it is Yuli’s responsibility to bring order to chaos, along with the Guardian of Fire and the Guardian of Wood. But can she restore balance to the Morning Realms when she can’t even win the political games being played at home? The fate of the Morning Realms depends on the Guardians of Dawn, and whether Yuli can manage both the demonic and political chaos at once. Guardian of Wind, there you are…
When monsters rule, who will be left to stop them?
After Joan’s failed attempt to save the world, Eleanor now rules over a cruel new timeline where monsters live openly among humans, preying on them and subjugating them.
Nick -once a hero to humans, and Joan’s first love – is tormented by the choice he made to save her over the timeline itself. And Aaron – the ruthless heir to a powerful monster family – now finds himself in a world where monsters have power beyond imagining while his feelings for Joan grow.

But how will they defeat a whole world of monsters with control over time itself?

And more importantly, why is she looking at me with hurt in her eyes when I was the one who’d been forced to leave or else face the damning consequences of that night?
I have everything in life: money, success, an empire to run . . . everything except for one, very important thing. Her.
Fifteen years is a long time to wonder. . . what if. I’ll be damned if I leave town this time without her.

Roping horses leads to riding cowboys in this sexy friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, lessons-in-seduction romance by Jessica Peterson.
One fake dating plan.
One cowboy Casanova.
One very real case of falling way too hard.
Wyatt Rivers is the perfect no-strings hookup–a cowboy Casanova who rocks a Stetson, looks smokin’ hot in his Wranglers, and never rests his head on the same pillow twice.
He’s exactly what she’s looking for. If only he wasn’t also her best friend…
Sally Powell is back in her hometown of Harstville, Texas, waiting for her dream job to start thousands of miles away. While she’s here, she hopes to end an epic dry spell in the bedroom, preferably with a local cowboy. If the rumors are true, they really do ride harder and stay on longer.
Wyatt has been her best friend since second grade, and she’s been in love with him for almost as long. But he’s as wild and untamed as a colt that can’t be broken–not to mention, totally out of her league with his good looks and heartbreaker reputation.
Then Sally gets to thinking: since Wyatt is such an expert, why doesn’t he teach her the ropes of how to find a hookup? He begrudgingly agrees, and a little fake flirting leads to fake dating, which leads to real kissing, which leads to real…well, everything else.
And let her just say, the rumors are absolutely true.
Sally wants so badly to be Wyatt’s last rodeo. But she’s leaving town soon, and even if she wasn’t, she’s not sure Wyatt would ever change his playboy ways.
Cowboys can’t be tamed. And apparently, neither can hearts.
Wyatt is an interconnected standalone novel in the Lucky River Ranch series, perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Lyla Sage.
