Hoog in de bergen schuilt een plek die anders is dan alle andere…
Noord-Amerika, 1942. June Hudson is de manager van het Avallon Hotel & Spa, een luxehotel in de bergen van West-Virginia waar de high society graag vertoeft en het zoete bergwater dat uit de kranen stroomt alle zorgen kan wegspoelen. Het leven is er perfect. Misschien wel té perfect.
June heeft het Avallon in de eerste jaren van de oorlog al door veel hete vuren geloodst, maar als het hotel de opdracht krijgt Duitse hoogwaardigheidsbekleders te huisvesten, staat ze voor een grotere uitdaging dan ooit. Haar personeel, dat hun zonen en echtgenoten naar het front heeft zien vertrekken, wordt opgedragen om nazi’s te bedienen – met een glimlach. Daarnaast moeten ze ook de bemoeienis van -agent Tucker Minnick dulden, wiens missie om de geheimen van de ongenode gasten te achterhalen de spanningen verder op scherp zet. Terwijl listige plannen worden gesmeed en onverwachte allianties ontstaan, wordt June geconfronteerd met de werkelijke prijs van luxe. Maar haar belangrijkste taak wacht in de schaduwen, want alleen zij weet dat het hotel een duister geheim bewaart. Een geheim dat dodelijker is dan alles wat zich tussen de muren afspeelt.
De luisteraars is het betoverende, op ware gebeurtenissen gebaseerde verhaal van een onvergetelijke groep personages, een onwaarschijnlijke liefde en een droom van een betere toekomst in een hotel – en een wereld – balancerend op de rand van de afgrond.

A funny and heartwarming debut romance about two exes forced to reunite when a plane crash leaves them stranded on a deserted island.
Piper Adams is completely, totally, one hundred percent over Wyatt, the former love of her life. At least, that’s what she tells herself.
After he broke her heart, she stopped taking risks and focused instead on building a perfect—and perfectly safe—life. But bumping into Wyatt at the airport on the way to her best friend’s destination wedding wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was a canceled flight nor Wyatt’s offer of a ride on the tiny plane he’s flying to attend the same event.
Desperate to make it on time, she accepts his offer, but things go from awkward to full-blown nightmare when their plane crashes in the Caribbean, stranding Piper on a deserted island with the last person she ever wanted to see again. At first, rule-following Piper clashes with adventure-driven Wyatt, but as the days tick by, she can see the boy she once loved has grown into a man. A man who makes her laugh, knows his way around a fire, and is annoyingly hot shirtless.
A man she could love again. As the chemistry still simmering between them boils over, Piper begins wishing Wyatt was more than just a survival partner. But for their love to survive a second chance, she’ll have to not only trust Wyatt again, but also learn to trust herself and find the courage to let go of her carefully curated life for the chance at something far greater—if they can survive the island long enough for rescue.

**The deluxe edition of The Unwanted Marriage will have beautiful sprayed edges.**
The third installment in the Amazon Kindle #1 bestselling Windsors series, this is the sexy, hero-falls-first, age-gap romance of billionaire Dion Windsor and beautiful pianist Faye.
Dion and Faye have been engaged since they were kids, but their 10-year age gap led Dion to stay away from her for years, going as far as going to boarding school overseas, and college in the UK. Unbeknownst to anyone, part of his reluctance is fueled by guilt – he’s convinced he was the reason his parents and Faye’s mother were on the plane that took their life, and he’s unable to face Faye.
When he’s forced back home for the wedding he can no longer escape, he learns that his timid fiancée now has a boyfriend. After intercepting the two on their way up to a hotel room in a hotel his family owns, he becomes increasingly intrigued by the parts of Faye she hides from the world. The more he learns about her, the harder he falls.
Except, it soon becomes clear that all Faye has ever wanted was true freedom; something she never had in her abusive household. She soothes his soul and heals his wounds, so how could he keep her captive in a marriage she never wanted, when she’s meant to fly high?
Our sweet hero learns that sometimes, letting someone go is the best way to love them. What he doesn’t expect is that sometimes, love is worth coming back home for too.

The beautiful new novel that will make you laugh and cry, from the global bestselling author of Anxious People and A Man Called Ove. Fredrik Backman returns with an unforgettably funny, deeply moving tale of four teenagers whose friendship creates a bond so powerful that it changes a complete stranger’s life twenty-five years later…
You have to take life for granted, the artist thinks, the whole thing: sunrises and slow Sunday mornings andwater balloons and another person’s breath against your neck.
That’s the only courageous thing a person can do. In the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world three tiny figures sit at the end of a pier. Most people don’t even notice them.
Most people think it’s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise. Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers seek refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days together.
They tell jokes, they share secrets, and they commit small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love. Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into 18-year-old Louisa’s care.
Determined to learn how it came to be and to decide what to do with it, Louisa embarks on a cross-country journey. But the closer she gets to the painting’s birthplace, the more nervous she becomes. In this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship and art, Louisa is proof that happy endings don’t always take the form we expect.

The Spellshop is Sarah Beth Durst’s romantasy debut-a lush cottagecore tale full of stolen spellbooks, unexpected friendships, sweet jams, and even sweeter love.
Join Kiela the librarian and her assistant, Caz the sentient spider plant, as they navigate the low stakes market of illegal spellmaking and the high risk business of starting over.
Kiela has always had trouble dealing with people. Thankfully, as librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, she hasn’t had to.
She and her assistant, Caz, a magically sentient spider plant, have spent the last eleven years sequestered among the empire’s most precious spellbooks, preserving their magic for the city’s elite. But when a revolution begins and the library goes up in flames, she and Caz save as many books as they can carry and flee to a faraway island Kiela was sure she’d never return to: her childhood home. Kiela hopes to lay low in the overgrown and rundown cottage her late parents left her and figure out a way to survive without drawing the attention of either the empire or the revolutionaries. Much to her dismay, in addition to a nosy–and very handsome–neighbor, she finds the town neglected and in a state of disrepair.
The empire, for all its magic and power, has been neglecting for years the people who depend on magical intervention to maintain healthy livestock and crops. Not only that, but the very magic that should be helping them has been creating destructive storms that have taken a toll on the island. Due to her past role at the library, Kiela feels partially responsible for this, and now she’s determined to find a way to make things right: by opening the island’s first-ever secret spellshop.
Her plan comes with risks–the consequence of sharing magic with commoners is death. And as Kiela comes to make a place for herself among the kind and quirky townspeople of her former home, she realizes that in order to make a life for herself, she must learn to break down the walls she has built up so high.
Like a Hallmark rom-com full of mythical creatures and fueled by cinnamon rolls and magic, Sarah Beth Durst’s The Spellshop will heal your heart and feed your soul.

An Instant New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!
From New York Times bestselling author Harper L. Woods comes THE COVEN, a sexy, deliciously imaginative fantasy romance where The Magicians meets Ninth House with vampires.
Revenge.
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 Grove’s victims don’t kill them first.

Nieuwe meeslepende serie voor de fans van ‘Vrees me’
Dertien jaar na het verschijnen van ‘Vrees me’, is de Touching Juliette-serie van Tahereh Mafi nog steeds mateloos populair. Waar eerdere delen nog een vervolg waren op de verhalen van de reeds bestaande personages, maakt ‘Zie me’ een stap in de toekomst met nieuwe hoofdpersonen: James Anderson (het broertje van Warner) en Rosabelle Wolff (een huurmoordenaar van de Ark). Het indringende verhaal maakt pijnlijk duidelijk wat er van een maatschappij overblijft als een regime omver wordt geworpen en het land na een burgeroorlog wederopgebouwd moet worden.
Dankzij de verslavende schrijfstijl, Mafi’s benadering van ‘grijs gebied’ en de vele politieke motieven, is ‘Zie me’ niet alleen spannende fictie, maar biedt het ook reflectie op de actualiteiten.

The sky is burning.
The Reapers are keeping secrets. Vampires roam the wastes.
And I’m headed down a path of destruction which can only end in death.
I’m a soul cast adrift on a tide of grief and lies. A clock ticking down the moments to my inevitable destruction, and all I can do is race towards it.
The nations are caught in this endless battle for supremacy and it’s hard to see myself as anything other than a pawn in the twisted games I’m helpless to control.
The Waning Lands are screaming, soaked in blood for so long that even the rivers run red with it. But those screams are whispering riddles that only some of us can hear, begging us to see the signs and listen to the meaning beneath the words we chant so obediently.
What if there is something more to this war? What if winning isn’t what actually matters? What if our magic isn’t the thing that truly divides us?
My heart is hardened to the wants of the world and all who occupy it, yet still I hear them call my name. Perhaps it’s time I started listening and found out why the stars have set us this fate. Or if not the stars, then who?
Something is rotting at the heart of our lands. So now I have a choice to make. Will I seek out the decay and work to destroy it? Or will I join it in its destruction of this world in vengeance for all the suffering it has offered me?
I’m starting to want things I shouldn’t want. Desire a man I should hate. Care for a warrior I should only wish to harm. The point is, I’m beginning to feel like more than just another pawn in this endless game. But if I want to be the one who rolls the dice then I’m going to have to pay the price of playing for real.
I only wanted to claim revenge for what I’d lost.
Maybe Destiny isn’t done with me yet.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the smash-hit The Measure–a runaway bestseller and a Read with Jenna TODAY Show pick–comes a stunning speculative story of healing, self-discovery, forgiveness, and found friendship.
“A masterful, tender exploration of love, loss, and the poignant echoes of memory… A profoundly moving read.” –Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of The Many Daughters of Afong Moy
What if there were a cure for the broken-hearted?
Welcome to the Poppy Fields, where there’s hope for even the most battered hearts to heal.
Here, in a remote stretch of the California desert, lies an experimental and controversial treatment center that allows those suffering from the heartache of loss to sleep through their pain…and keep on sleeping. After patients awaken from this prolonged state of slumber, they will finally be healed. But only if they’re willing to accept the potential shadowy side effects.
On a journey to this mystical destination are four very different strangers and one little dog: Ava, a book illustrator; Ray, a fireman; Sasha, an occupational therapist; Sky, a free spirit; and a friendly pup named PJ. As they attempt to make their way from the Midwest all the way west to the Poppy Fields–where they hope to find Ellis, its brilliant, enigmatic founder–each of their past secrets and mysterious motivations threaten to derail their voyage.
A high-concept speculative novel about heartache, hope, and human resilience, The Poppy Fields explores the path of grief and healing, a journey at once profoundly universal and unique to every person, posing the questions: How do we heal in the wake of great loss? And how far are we willing to go in order to be healed?

Alone and Looking to Bone! Loudmouthed Mountain Man Seeks Fiery Woman to Grow Old With.
I might look like a tall, tattooed, bearded neanderthal…but like an onion, I have layers. Swipe right if you like a proud cat daddy who catches feelings after direct eye contact.
All I wanted was a casual plus-one to my brother’s destination wedding, but those idiots on my family tree hacked my dating profile and sabotaged my quest for the perfect weekend fling. Now I’m stuck on a tropical vacation with only my hand to keep me company.
Until I’m forced to share a room with the bane of my existence: my sister-in-law’s best friend.
Dakota has hated me for the past seven years. I wasn’t losing much sleep over her screaming rants because she was some other guy’s problem. Or she was, until she got divorced.
Being stuck in paradise with a woman who loathes your very existence doesn’t sound hot, but after an unexpected moment in our shared palapa, she starts screaming at me in a different way.
What happens in paradise stays in paradise. That is, until Dakota shows up on my mountain with a proposition: be her wingman to help her regain her pre-divorce confidence.
Suddenly, Dakota’s not just the person I love to fight with. She’s the woman I want everything with.

Noelle Tom really shouldn’t have eaten those dumplings at the night market. But the old woman at the stall said they’d give her what she needed most, and what Noelle desperately needed after another long workweek was food.
Except now she’s reliving the same Friday. Every morning her alarm goes off at 6:45, and the Wordle answer is always “happy.” Worst of all, any work she does at her job as an engineer? It’s erased when she wakes up. Monday might never come in this workaholic’s nightmare.
Noelle has no idea how being trapped in a time loop is the “thing she needed most,” and a trip to the food stall doesn’t help…because there’s no sign of it. Then she meets good-looking Cam, who appears in multiple places on her Friday. While the brewery owner seems to have no memory of their encounters, there are signs he might be the key to getting un-stuck.
But Noelle can’t figure out how, even when she steps outside of her comfort zone and lives a little. As she grows attached to him, she becomes more worried that she’ll never escape the loop and he’ll never recall her name. And if she does ever get out, can they be together in the “real” world?

Iedereen heeft tegen haar gelogen. Wie kan ze nog vertrouwen?
Casey Tresscott voelt zich opgesloten in haar eigen leven. Sinds ze vorig jaar bijna is omgekomen bij een ongeluk is haar familie verstikkend beschermend en wordt er op school genadeloos over haar geroddeld. Het enige lichtpuntje in haar leven is haar vriendschap – of misschien meer dan dat? – met Fenn Bishop.
Fenn lijkt alles mee te hebben: hij is knap, slim, populair en steenrijk. Maar hij verbergt grote geheimen, waaronder het feit dat hij meer weet dan hij toegeeft over de avond dat Casey bijna stierf. Hij dacht dat liegen de beste keuze was, maar dan raakt hij verstrikt in zijn eigen leugens.
Wanneer de lang bewaard gebleven geheimen eindelijk uitkomen, ontploft de hele boel op Sandover Prep School. Casey is woest dat iedereen tegen haar gelogen heeft. Ze keert zich af van haar familie, luistert naar niemand meer en breekt elke regel die er maar is. Fenn wil wanhopig graag de volledige waarheid eens en voor altijd boven water krijgen voor Casey, en hoopt haar zo weer een beetje op het rechte pad te krijgen.
Maar wat als Casey niet langer het meisje is waar hij verliefd op is geworden? Is er hoop voor hun toekomst samen, of blijft ze voor altijd een wilde rebel?
Rebel is het langverwachte tweede deel van de Sandover-serie van Elle Kennedy, die zich afspeelt op een kostschool voor rijke jongens. Misfit is het eerste deel.

Opeens heeft Athalia Henry’s onverdeelde aandacht, maar als ze dat zo wil houden heeft ze Dylans hulp nodig.

A stunning hardcover collector’s edition of Ali Hazelwood’s instant New York Times bestseller and TikTok sensation featuring:
– A shimmering, revamped cover
– Endpapers with all new art from Lilith Saur featuring Olive and Adam
– STEM stenciled spredges
– A sunny, foil stamped case
– Fun additional chapter heading doodles throughout, and…
– A brand new bonus chapter featuring THAT KISS from Adam’s point of view
When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman’s carefully calculated theories on love into chaos.
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn’t believe in lasting romantic relationships–but her best friend does, and that’s what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor–and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford’s reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive’s career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding…six-pack abs.
Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

Succession meets Black Mirror with the morally gray heat of Scarlett St. Clair and the addictively immersive realities of Rebecca Yarros, as obsession takes center stage in this steamy, neon-lit, dark romantasy twist on Snow White and the Huntsman, set in a seductive world of money, power, billionaires, and the dangerous desires that drive them.
Mirror, Mirror . . . The reflection holds a darker truth.
ALEXEI
I’ve spent the last seven years in the hell of a maximum-security prison, every moment consumed by the need for revenge–revenge against the bastards who framed me, and revenge against the family who stole everything I owned. Now that I’m finally free, nothing will stand in my way. Not even her–my hot as sin new lawyer. Maybe she’s another weapon sent by my enemies to break me, or maybe she’s the key to my freedom. Either way, once she’s mine, I’m never letting her go.
ROSALIE
When I took this case, I thought I had it under control. But Alexei is no typical convicted killer–he’s a dangerously seductive force of nature. Perhaps it’s the lingering power from his days as heir to a global social media empire. Innocent or not, he’s dangerous in the worst and best ways.
I secure Alexei’s release as we prepare for a new trial, but he wastes no time turning against his traitorous relatives and plotting his return to power. Amidst the chaos, our explosive chemistry ignites, putting us–and everyone I care about–in the crosshairs of ruthless enemies. If we can’t stop them, Alexei plans to burn the whole world down. And if anything, he’s a man of his word . . .

In al m’n tijd als ambulancebroeder in Los Angeles had ik nog nooit een verlies persoonlijk genomen.
Totdat Amerika’s meest geliefde rockster in mijn handen stierf.
Geplaagd door schuldgevoelens waakte ik vanop een afstandje over zijn vrouw. Maar dan, als een of andere verwarde vorm van karma, werd ik in haar leven gegooid zonder dat ik ooit kon terugkeren, want Hannah Moore was veel te goed voor Hollywood en het bleek dat zij ook gered moest worden.
We lieten ons naar elkaar toe groeien door een trauma waarvan zij niet wist dat we het deelden. Het was een gevaarlijk spel, maar toen ze in mijn ogen keek en me smeekte om te blijven, vergat ik alle redenen waarom ik haar zou moeten loslaten.
Ik vergat alles. Mijn problemen. Mijn schuldgevoelens. Behalve zij.
Zij bleef maar in mijn gedachten dwalen.
Maar in Hollywood kwam de waarheid uiteindelijk altijd aan het licht, en als die van mij aan het licht kwam, zou ik niet langer haar held zijn, maar de nachtmerrie waarvan ze wenste dat ze uit kon ontwaken.
