Max Monroe - Engels - Paperback
She thought they were divorced. He never filed the papers.
Now he’s determined to prove their love story isn’t over.
Josie: Before The Moment
There are ghosts at every corner. In the stolen kisses while I waitressed at the diner, in the town festivals in the square, in the many jokes about Betty Bagley and her pie at the Fall Farmer’s Market, and in countless nights spent watching Clay make drinks with that handsome smile of his plastered on his face while I sat on a stool at the bar.
It should all feel familiar and comforting, and yet, it makes it hard for the person I am now to breathe at all.
I wish I’d been stronger. I wish I’d been wiser. I wish I didn’t have to do this.
I wish.
Tonight will be a defining moment for the rest of my life.
I have to end it now…
…before it ends me.
Clay: After The Moment
When Josie and I said, ‘I do’, I thought it’d be us against the world forever. But I wasn’t expecting the world to be so against us.
I know I should’ve stayed that night, and I should have gone back a heck of a lot sooner.
Because I don’t know how to be here. I don’t know how to be anywhere.
Truth is, I don’t know how to be without Josie at all.
She might think we’re done, but I’m going to spend the rest of my life making sure we’re not.

The gavel isn’t the only thing that’s banging . . .
As one of the top divorce lawyers in Chicago, Danica lets her caseload keep her warm at night and has no problem being married to her job, not when love only ends in hurt. When the biggest case of her career gives her a shot at making partner, it seems like nothing could possibly stand in her way . . . except for her infuriating secret: she’s sleeping with the enemy.
Ezra Hart is known for charming his way in and out of a courtroom. In the matter of winning Danica Pierce’s heart, however, he’s been far less successful. With her verdict to keep things purely physical with no chance of appeal, Ezra struggles to show Danica he’s more than the insufferable playboy she’s pegged him to be.
While Dani and Ezra battle it out in the courtroom, the real trial is the one happening between them. When Dani realizes that everything she knows of Ezra might be hearsay – and that she’s not the only one with emotional baggage – she must choose between her fear of trusting again and the feelings blossoming between her and the man she thought was her worst enemy.

The Bennett family has a secret: They’re not just a family, they’re a pack. Brothersong is Carter Bennett’s story.
In the ruins of Caswell, Maine, Carter Bennett learned the truth of what had been right in front of him the entire time. And then it–he–was gone. Desperate for answers, Carter takes to the road, leaving family and the safety of his pack behind, all in the name of a man he only knows as a feral wolf. But therein lies the danger: wolves are pack animals, and the longer Carter is on his own, the more his mind slips toward the endless void of Omega insanity. But he pushes on, following the trail left by Gavin.

What Carter finds will change the course of the wolves forever. Because Gavin’s history with the Bennett pack goes back further than anyone knows, a secret kept hidden by Carter’s father, Thomas Bennett.

Nina Harrow and Patrick Colson first meet in adolescence, brought in from their disenfranchised mining towns to glittering Belavere City to be tested for magical abilities. Those who pass will train to become Artisans, wielding powerful elemental magic to carry out Belavere’s greatest ambitions.
Nina wants nothing more than to escape her circumstances and attend the Artisan School, while Patrick only wants to return home to his family of Craftsmen, who use their extraordinary physical strength in the idium mines that keep Belavere running.

Everything was perfect, until it all went up in flames. Three years after their epic break-up, Kiki’s worked hard to forget her first love. But just as she thinks she’s got her life under control – jumping into the distractions of her romance-by-calendar-invite boyfriend, and plans for her best friend, Aminah’s, wedding – Kiki’s career implodes, the family business teeters on collapse, and Malakai returns .
. . As Malakai takes up his role as Best Man opposite her Maid of Honour, suddenly Kiki can think of nothing else: their simmering chemistry, what went wrong, and why it is now impossible to act normal around each other.
Juggling a new job, the prospect of her parents’ restaurant being sold, and keeping her best friend from going full bridezilla, dealing with The Ex is the last thing she needs. But somehow the spark between them is only getting hotter – and threatening to ruin everything. They just have to get through the wedding, so why does it feel like playing with fire?

Het Baby Dragon Café is een cosy fantantasyboek met een hartverwarmende romance en babydraken.
Saphira heeft een café voor gasten én hun babydraken, maar het runnen van een zaak vol kleine vuurspuwers blijkt een stuk lastiger dan gedacht. De babydraken hebben al enkele meubels – en een heel dure espressomachine – in vuur en vlam gezet.
Een van de bezoekers, de charmante maar grumpy Aiden, vraagt of zij zijn ondeugende babydraak Sparky wil trainen, in ruil voor genoeg geld om het café voorlopig draaiende te kunnen houden. De zorgeloze Saphira en de knorrige Aiden verschillen van elkaar als dag en nacht, maar de samenwerking gaat steeds beter. Er lijkt zelfs een vonk over te slaan tussen de drakenvlammen…
Lezersreacties:
‘De leukste cosy fantasy die er is!’
‘De perfecte combinatie van Het Pumpkin Spice Café en Fourth Wing.’
‘Een romantasy die je leest met een lach op je gezicht.’

Welcome back to the quirky, romantic small town of Blue Moon Bend: home to this enticing romantic comedy series from the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over and the fan-favourite Riley Thorn books.
A sexy and adorable romantic comedy between a steadfast LA girl turned small-town sweetheart and the bad boy photographer who’s nothing but trouble…until he isn’t.
“He’s the kind of man who would talk you into dropping your panties in a coat closet at a party, dole out orgasms like after-dinner mints, and then never call you again.”
Photographer Nikolai Vulkov is a love ’em and leave ’em bad boy with a leather jacket, motorcycle, and sexy-as-sin grin.
He is not Emma Merrill’s type. The feisty brewery manager isn’t impressed by Niko’s charm or his “no strings attached” offer. She’s the kind of girl a man settles down with.
And the small town of Blue Moon is where she and her sisters have decided to put down roots. In Niko’s experience, relationships only lead to heartache. Besides, he’s only in town until he finds a way to get his creative mojo back.
He and Emma are completely wrong for each other. Even the matchmaking Beautification Committee agrees. They should definitely stay in the friend zone.
Okay. So maybe they gave in to their attraction that one time. Fine.
Five times. Who’s counting? But once Emma’s ex-boyfriend shows up in town, she’ll come to her senses, and Niko will go back to New York. Right?

The first in an all-new fantasy romance series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair. In this biting, feminist retelling of Lilith’s story, Lilith will rise from the ashes of her former life to destroy the ancient power that stole everything she loves.
She is the beginning and the end. She is peace and chaos. She is terror knocking at the gates.
Estranged from her powerful family, Lilith Leviathan finds refuge in Nineveh, a district in the city of Eden devoted to sin. There, she uses her magic to steal for a living, attracting the attention of the five governing families and the church, which expects women to remain pious and silent. When Lilith comes into possession of a beautiful blade, she thinks all her worries are over…until her usual buyer dies while inspecting it.
Frantic, Lilith turns to the only man who can help her: Zahariev, head of the Zareth family and ruler of Nineveh. His currency is information, and his power is extortion, though he’s always had a soft spot for Lilith. But when the dagger appears, he isn’t sure he can protect her from what’s to come.
Together, they embark on a mission to discover the true power running their world. As their lives intertwine, Lilith realises Zahariev is more than just a friend, but their devotion to each other is a threat – to the truth, to the church, and to those who want to tear it all down.
A lush friends to lovers romance full of devilish intrigue, Terror at the Gates begins the Blood of Lilith series – a must-read for dark fantasy fans and readers of the Hades x Persephone Saga.
