Lifelong best friends say ‘I do’ to a marriage of convenience, trading vows for a financial safety net and benefits. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Katherine Center.
Evie Bloom pays attention to the details. Her very job depends on it–as an aspiring Foley artist, she’s responsible for every crisp footstep, smacking kiss, and distinct sound in film and television. So when she’s selected for a fellowship opportunity that would make all her career dreams come true, she’s quick to spot the catch: there are no health benefits, and for someone with a chronic illness, that’s a non-starter.
Theo Cohen is an elementary school teacher who can’t afford to live on his own in LA, and is facing eviction after his roommates couple up and move out of their rent-controlled apartment. But there is one loophole in his lease: each tenant must meet an income threshold, unless the tenants are married.
For Theo, the answer is obvious. Marry Evie, his best friend since forever. It’s not as if they don’t spend all their free time together anyways. Not only will Theo be able to keep his apartment, but Evie can be added to his insurance plan so she can accept her dream fellowship. It’s such a logical, practical solution. Never mind that Evie doesn’t really want to be married–not to Theo, not to anyone–ever. Or the small, complicating fact that Theo has always been a little bit in love with Evie.
But it doesn’t have to be a big deal. Marriage. It will just give them space to breathe, and much-needed relief from the daily financial stress. It won’t change anything.
It’s . . . going to change everything.

But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live.
From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise?
As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?
The Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters whose decisions and fates interweave with one another: best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, a couple who thought they didn’t have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately changes everything.

Wolf Wayburn is the devil in an Armani suit. Most women would drop to their knees at just the sight of him. Lucky for me–I’m not most women.
The first time we met, he cut me off at a gas station.
So, I flashed him the bird and mocked his family jewels.
The second time we met, he tried to get me fired.
He took his shot–and he missed.
At least for now.
Wolf Wayburn was an ex-Navy SEAL with an attitude.
But it would take a lot more than the big, bad Wolf to scare me off.
I had ninety days to win the man over.
To convince him that I was the right person for the job.
But spending endless amounts of time with him proved more challenging than I’d expected.
He was stubborn and broody and charming and sexy–all at the same time.
I despised him as much as I craved him.
We taunted and teased and terrorized one another for weeks.
The first time he dropped to his knees, it was to search me for a weapon.
The second time… it was an altogether different story.
I never planned to fall for the enemy.
Because I knew it was easier to hate Wolf Wayburn than to love him.

However, as they race through the game’s elaborate labyrinth, trapped among gleaming gold and shining marble, their loathing gives way to irresistible attraction. Only Rowin is keeping secrets, especially when it comes to his ruthless family, and Genevieve can’t help but wonder if she’s trapped in two treacherous games: Enchantra and the one Rowin is playing with her heart.

If you’re not terrified, you’re doing it wrong
Long ago, the gods unleashed monsters upon the five kingdoms of Calandra to remind us that humans are insignificant–that we must pray to the gods for mercy throughout our fragile, fleeting lives.
I didn’t need a deity to remind me I was powerless. Being a princess had never been more than a performance–twenty-three years of empty titles and hollow traditions. My sister revels in the spectacle, basking in the attention and flawlessly playing her part. I was never asked to be part of the charade.
Until the day an infamous monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince walked into my father’s throne room and ruined my life. The day I married a stranger, signed a magical treaty in blood, and set off across the continent to the most treacherous kingdom in all the realm.

On the morning of her wedding, Lia flees to a distant village. She settles into a new life, hopeful when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deception abounds, and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets—even as she finds herself falling in love.

From the New York Times million-copy bestselling author Rachel Gillig comes the next big romantasy phenomenon: a gothic, mist-cloaked tale of a prophetess who is forced on an impossible quest with the one devilishly handsome knight whose future is beyond her sight.
Sybil Delling has spent nine years dreaming of having no dreams at all. Like the other foundling girls who traded a decade of service for a home in the great cathedral, Sybil is a Diviner.
In her dreams she receives visions from six unearthly figures known as Omens. From them, she can predict terrible things before they occur, and lords and common folk alike travel across the kingdom of Traum’s windswept moors to learn their futures by her dreams.
Just as she and her sister Diviners near the end of their service, a mysterious knight arrives at the cathedral. Rude, heretical, and devilishly handsome, the knight Rodrick has no respect for Sybil’s visions.
But when Sybil’s fellow Diviners begin to vanish one by one, she has no choice but to seek his help in finding them. For the world outside the cathedral’s cloister is wrought with peril. Only the gods have the answers she is seeking, and as much as she’d rather avoid Rodrick’s dark eyes and sharp tongue, only a heretic can defeat a god.

And Thomas isn’t the man Stella expects to wake up next to in the morning—with a ring on her finger. Staying married might be the perfect solution to all their problems, even if it is a little wild.
Sometimes, what happens in Vegas doesn’t need to stay there…

Eva Hermans-Kroot vertelt openhartig en ontwapenend hoe haar leven 180 ° draaide
‘Mocht je een lesje leven willen: lees dit boek van Eva. Het is prachtig.’ Tim Hofman
Al meer dan 90.000 exemplaren verkocht.
Hoe is het om op je 22ste de diagnose ongeneeslijke longkanker te krijgen? Hoe beleven je partner, vriendinnen, ouders dat? En hoe is het als mensen altijd willen weten hoe het met je gaat, zelfs op het moment dat je een chemo-infuus in je arm geprikt krijgt?
Hoe is het, om tegen alle verwachtingen in, toch nog de 26 aan te tikken? Om het concert van Beyoncé vanaf een brancard te aanschouwen? En hoe is het om écht alleen nog maar te doen waar je zelf zin in hebt?
Er veranderde nogal wat, toen Eva van een gezonde, ambitieuze naar een ongeneeslijke, even ambitieuze twintiger ging. Een twintiger die heel veel dingen los heeft moeten laten, maar tegelijkertijd voller in het leven staat dan ooit. Eva vertelt in dit boek op openhartige, bij vlagen hilarische maar bovenal eigen wijze waar ze allemaal doorheen is gegaan en hoe ze dat beleefd heeft. Ook haar naasten komen aan het woord.
Ondanks de diagnose ongeneeslijke (long)kanker die Eva Hermans-Kroot in 2021 kreeg, studeerde ze in 2023 cum laude af aan de communicatieopleiding van de Fontys Hogeschool. Met haar Instagram-account @longeneeslijk hield ze in eerste instantie haar directe omgeving op de hoogte van haar medische traject, maar dat groeide uit naar meer dan 500.000 volgers. Eva was in 2024 te zien in het tiende seizoen van het BNNVARA-programma Over Mijn Lijk en verscheen regelmatig bij Qmusic om Mattie en Marieke bij te praten over hoe het met haar ging. Ze woonde met haar man Matthijs in Tilburg, waar puzzelen ineens een noodzakelijke hobby werd. Eva Hermans-Kroot overleed op 30 november 2024.

Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past–now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole’s request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. The catch? Katie’s not exactly qualified. She can’t swim–but pretends that she can.
Plus, Cole and Hutch are brothers. And they don’t get along. Next stop: paradise! But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good-looking man she has ever seen . . . but maybe a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two.
Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue–along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.

As they vie against each other during aptitude tests and team-building exercises, Tris begins to realize Rafe might not be the villain after all.
With her dreams at stake, can she learn to trust the man who might have been standing in her corner all along?

Nox has been steadfastly working for the rebellion for years. They don’t ask for much in return, except for one crucial condition: their ex, the noble Bastian, stays as far away from them as possible.

The fate of the entire rebellion now rests on Nox and Siobhan’s ability to rescue Bastian from a Cŵn Annwn ship.
Saving Bastian is only the start of their hardships, as the trio is tracked by ferocious pirates across Threshold. And Nox’s complicated relationships and entanglements with Bastian and Siobhan put not only their life at risk but their heart on the line.

Hallie
When I was eleven, my family moved next door to his.
When I was thirteen, he was my first crush.
When I was sixteen, we fell for each other.
And when I was nineteen, we broke each other’s hearts.
Six years later, I’ve landed an internship with a big-name interior designer in a new city. Unfortunately, that city just so happens to be the one he plays hockey for.
I thought Chicago was big enough to avoid him, until I get the surprise of a lifetime and unknowingly move in right next door. And even worse? The renovation project I’m assigned to in hopes of turning that internship into my full-time dream job…
It’s his house.
But how am I supposed to update his bachelor pad into a family home when we can’t even stand to be in the same room?
I may have loved Rio DeLuca once, but I’m not that same girl anymore.
Rio
I never thought I’d be the only single one left in my friend group. But after years of trying to find love, I’ve concluded it may not exist for me anymore.
That is, until I accidentally hire Hallie Hart to renovate my house and our jaded history has me rewinding memories I’ve kept secret for years.
You see, there’s something that my friends don’t know.
That connection I’ve been looking for since I moved to Chicago, that one person some search their entire lives to find… I had already found her when I was twelve years old.
And now the only girl I’ve ever loved is moving into the house next door.

Only in the movies does the Hollywood heartthrob fall for the small town diner waitress.
So when Dashiel Buckley returns to Cherry Tree Harbor for a wedding, I’m determined not to let my massive crush on my best friend’s older brother hijack my good sense.
(It happened once before. Do not recommend.)
But when my hand is injured, it’s Dash who steps in at the diner. The moment he realizes I can’t afford to fix my car, he takes care of it. And when he hears about the way my toxic ex treated me, he refuses to let it go.
Now it’s not just his blue eyes and sexy smile that have me swooning, it’s the way he wants to help me. Encourage me. Protect me.
I can’t resist.
Our text messages heat up. Our phone calls melt all my defenses. “Just friends” turns into “just once,” and “just once” becomes a distant memory. Night after night, he warms my bed, my body, and my heart.
But it can’t last.
Our dreams have us on two different paths-Dash wants the lights, camera, action of Hollywood, and I’ll always be a small town girl.
If only I could be his.

“The first year is when some of us lose our lives. The second year is when the rest of us lose our humanity.” –Xaden Riorson
Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College–Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky.
Now the real training begins, and Violet’s already wondering how she’ll get through. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is-unless she betrays the man she loves.
Although Violet’s body might be weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she still has her wits–and a will of iron. And leadership is forgetting the most important lesson Basgiath has taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules.
But a determination to survive won’t be enough this year.
Because Violet knows the real secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College–and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
The Empyrean series is best enjoyed in order.

Vivian might be facing the end of days, just as soon as she can get her daughter dressed and out of the door…
De TikTok-hit van dit jaar, de ijshockeyromance die je gelezen moet hebben!
Summer Preston wordt door een ultimatum van haar studieadviseur voor het blok gezet. Als ze toegelaten wil worden in het masterprogramma van haar studie, zal ze onderzoek moeten doen naar de captain van het ijshockeyteam, Aiden Crawford. Summer heeft een ontzettende hekel aan ijshockey, maar ze kan geen nee zeggen.
Aiden Crawford heeft als aanvoerder van het ijshockeyteam genoeg aan zijn hoofd, en dan krijgt hij ook nog eens opgedragen dat hij moet meewerken aan het onderzoek van Summer. Summer is inflexibel, genadeloos hard en soms vermoedt hij dat ze plant hem te vermoorden met zijn schaatsen.
De twee zijn complete tegenpolen. Summer wordt gek van Aidens nonchalante levenshouding, en Aiden snapt niet waarom iemand van begin twintig haar leven al zo heftig tot in detail heeft uitgedacht. Maar één ding is gelijk voor iedereen, behalve voor Summer en Aiden zelf: ze vinden elkaar ondanks alles heel aantrekkelijk, en geven geen van beide graag op…
Book One of The Scriver Archives, Jack Serpent introduces readers to a brooding anti-hero and a rich worldbuild that is reminiscent of The Witcher and One Dark Window.
Created by monsters to be destroyed by men.
Jack Serpent is the only person to have survived the Scriver Trials. With that, he became a lore keeper for the origin of monsters, a spy, and hybrid soldier able to withstand crushing magic. Ever since a coven of Strygan murdered his family, he’s set out to discover and record what plagues the continents. It’s the sort of highly valuable knowledge that could change wars and divide kingdoms.
In the dark places of Ocrana, an uprising of Strygan has begun. They use stolen magic to take over the realms. No one knows how to effectively kill the monsters summoned by Strygan, let alone the High Stryga herself. The military general only knows how to kill with bullets and fire, but he’ll need more to challenge the encroaching threat. He’ll need a Scriver’s help. Jack is recruited to kill the High Stryga before she tips the balance of magic and takes the throne. To locate and destroy the High Stryga within a swamp poisoned with corrupted magic, Jack must reluctantly accept the help of others. As a man accustomed to working alone, cooperating with the ragtag group of soldiers, an old nemesis, and a tracker might prove more challenging than the monsters themselves.
When Jack finds more than a kindred spirit in the feisty tracker, he will have to choose between the mission and saving lives. There’s more to the Strygan than they understand. Jack discovers a secret in his past that will either lead to a Stryga on the throne and the enslavement of humans, or the unraveling of his mind.
Sometimes knowledge is worth dying for.
No one would ever call Ava Monroe a people person, which isn’t ideal for a barista in a busy London coffee shop. She’s sarcastic, blunt and cynical, and likes her men with strictly no strings attached.
And despite desperate pleas from her best friend Josie to shake up her routine and make some new friends, she refuses to change her carefully controlled life. That is, until the insufferably cheerful, country-hopping, undeniably gorgeous Finn O’Callaghan rolls into her coffee shop with a horrifyingly perfect proposal – a strictly friends-only fling. Finn’s only in the city for the summer and needs a local to help him complete his London bucket list before he moves along for good, and Ava needs to reassure Josie she’s got the makings of a social butterfly after all.
It’s an offer she can’t refuse. As their mismatched friendship of convenience slowly becomes more tolerable, and as they work their way through Finn’s bucket list around the sun-drenched city, from rooftops and floating bars to nights at the museum, their adventures – and Finn’s company – start to feel… nice.
Incredibly, terrifyingly, dangerously nice. But Ava has rules – and good reasons for them – and as the days get shorter, Finn’s departure gets closer. Because that’s the thing about summer: it always ends.
Right?

Two season tickets. One genius idea. Zero interest in a relationship.
Gemma Mancini’s plan is simple. Step one: find hot, preferably funny, and definitely single men. Step two: take a new guy to each home game for the rest of the football season.
It’s time for her to get back in the dating game, and besides, she can’t think of a better way to use the season tickets she bought for her ex-husband. It’s a foolproof plan, until her bartender offers to be her practice round. Zach Bowen is infuriating.
Presumptuous, overbearing and absolutely, undeniably gorgeous. He’s determined to be Gemma’s only date this season and is ready to do whatever it takes, even if that means sabotaging any of her potential matches. But Gemma isn’t ready for anything serious, no matter how charming she finds his antics.
After all, Zach can try his best to change the rules, but he can’t win if he’s playing the wrong game.
What is wrong meets what feels right in this romance set in Italy by the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of Deep End.
Maya Killgore is twenty-three and still in the process of figuring out her life. Conor Harkness is thirty-eight, and Maya cannot stop thinking about him.
It’s such a cliché, it almost makes her heart implode: older man and younger woman; successful biotech guy and struggling grad student; brother’s best friend and the girl he never even knew existed. As Conor loves to remind her, the power dynamic is too imbalanced. Any relationship between them would be problematic in too many ways to count, and Maya should just get over him.
After all, he has made it clear that he wants her gone from his life. But not everything is as it seems – and clichés sometimes become plot twists. When Maya’s brother decides to get married in Taormina, she and Conor end up stuck together in a romantic Sicilian villa for over a week.
There, on the beautiful Ionian coast, between ancient ruins, delicious foods, and natural caves, Maya realizes that Conor might be hiding something from her. And as the destination wedding begins to erupt out of control, she decides that a summer fling might be just what she needs – even if it’s a problematic one.

Lucian inhabits their body while Artair sleeps, and he is hell-bent on manipulating Elver for his dark purposes. But Elver is harbouring secrets too, and she has her own reasons for feigning an alliance with these two souls.
Caught in the crossfire of gods, monsters, and a dangerous magic they can barely understand, it is only a matter of time before the paths the three of them choose to take will set alight the very foundations of their world.
Get ready to fall hopelessly in love with The Sleepless, the first epic YA romantasy from multi-award-winning fantasy author Jen Williams.
We leken voor elkaar geschapen.
Tot we elkaar ontmoetten.
Misha
In groep zeven kregen we een penvriend toegewezen. De lerares van de andere school dacht dat ik meisje was, omdat ik ‘Misha’ heet, en wees me toe aan een van haar leerlingen, Ryen. Mijn docent dacht dat Ryen een jongen was en vond het dus een goede match.
Maar het duurde niet lang voordat we erachter kwamen dat er een foutje was gemaakt. En al heel snel waren we het oneens over bijna álles. Wat de lekkerste pizza was. Android vs. iPhone. Of Eminem echt de beste rapper aller tijden was…
Zo begon het en de daaropvolgende zeven jaar, schreven we elkaar voortdurend brieven.
We hadden drie regels: Geen sociale media. Geen telefoonnummers. Geen foto’s. We hadden het goed, zo. Dus waarom zouden we dat verpesten?
Tot ik online op een foto van een meisje stuitte. Ze heette Ryen, zat in de laatste klas van de middelbare school, hield van Gallo’s pizza en was verslaafd aan haar iPhone. Toeval bestaat niet…
Ik moest haar ontmoeten.
Ik verwachtte alleen niet dat ik zou haten wat ik aantrof.
Ryen
Al drie maanden lang heb ik geen enkele brief van hem gekregen. Er is iets zeker mis. Is hij overleden? Opgepakt? Misha kennende zijn beide een reële mogelijkheid.
Zonder hem word ik langzaam gek. Ik moet weten dat er iemand is die naar me luistert. Maar het is mijn eigen schuld… Ik had toch zijn telefoonnummer moeten achterhalen, of een foto van hem moeten vinden.
Nu kan hij wel voorgoed verdwenen zijn.
Of hij blijkt, zonder dat ik het doorheb, plots recht voor mijn neus te staan…
Verboden verlangen tussen een maffiakoning en de dochter van zijn vijand kunnen een oorlog ontketenen in New York City.
Luca
Van pleegkind tot maffiabaas – ik was de onterecht gekroonde koning, gedwongen deze rol op me te nemen na de dood van mijn vervreemde vader. Ik heb alles opgegeven om mijn imperium op te bouwen. Niets anders telde. Tot ik de dochter van mijn vijand ontvoerde. Rosa Falcone. Il mio tesoro.
En nu dwingt het lot haar opnieuw mijn wereld in. Maar ik kan niet dezelfde fout maken als de vorige keer. Zelfs niet nu de toekomst van de maffia afhangt van mijn gearrangeerde huwelijk. Ik kan haar nog steeds niet weerstaan. En ik weiger toe te kijken terwijl ze met een andere man trouwt. Al moet ik er een oorlog voor beginnen.
Rosa
Het rebelse kind. De verwende maffiaprinses. Niemand begreep mijn pijn, dus droeg ik een masker. Tot Luca Russo me uit mijn leven rukte – alleen om me daarna weer heel te maken. Ik gaf hem mijn hart, en hij liet me gaan… terug in de armen van mijn kwelgeest.
Deze keer is er niemand om me te redden. Of dat dacht ik toch. Luca mag dan niet van mij zijn, maar dat houdt me niet tegen om nog harder voor hem te vallen. Maar als de hele wereld tegen ons is, hoeveel zijn we bereid op te geven voor ons happily ever after?
BORN TO RULE. BLESSED BY FIRE. BROKEN BY DESIRE… HOW MUCH IS SHE WILLING TO SACRIFICE TO CLAIM HER THRONE?

Once a territory built on matriarchal rule, Tìr Teine has been without a female heir for centuries. Through a long line of corrupt kings, an oppressive anti-magic teaching has infected the land – leading to the tragic decline of the dragons.
Aemyra was born to lead, gifted with fire magic from the Goddess Brigid. For years she has hidden in the shadows, waiting for the king to die so she can bond to his dragon, claim her birthright and protect her people. When her carefully laid plans are foiled, Aemyra is thrust into a deadly game of politics and plots.
Her greatest enemy? Prince Fiorean – the dragon-riding, fire-wielding royal whose icy arrogance and raw power thwart her every step. But as chaos engulfs the court, Aemyra and Prince Fiorean are forced to forge an uneasy alliance to survive. And in the heat of battle, their mutual hatred ignites something neither of them can control.
Behind enemy lines and slowly falling for the only man that stands between her and the throne, Aemyra begins to uncover the true weight of the crown. Will she ignite the flames of change for her people – or will love burn her alive?
Delilah Green Doesn’t Care meets The Bold Type in this sapphic rom-com where two exes reconnect and are given a second chance at love.
When her boyfriend of seven years suddenly breaks up with her, relationship advice columnist Gemma Cho is convinced that real love doesn’t exist. As a bisexual woman who’s had zero luck with both men and women, she’s ready to give up on her own romantic prospects.
That is, until she’s paired up with world-renowned photographer Celeste Min on a potentially career-saving piece on modern love. Celeste is extremely talented and sexy, and would be the perfect collaborator and rebound for Gemma if it weren’t for one major fact: she’s Gemma’s ex, the one that broke her heart in college and moved to a whole other country before Gemma could even make sense of what went wrong between them. Heightened by the unmistakable sparks that still fly between them, Gemma and Celeste struggle to keep their relationship strictly professional.
For the sake of her career, Gemma needs this piece to do well. And for the sake of what’s left of her beaten up hopeless romantic heart, she wants to fall head over heels for Celeste again. But can she trust Celeste to feel the same this time around?
Rules for a True Love Story: There are none. It’s all a lie. Jane Jackson knows that true love is a lie.
Laughter is the only truth: and having spent her adolescence as the barbecue-sauce-in-her-braces punchline on America’s fifth-favourite sitcom, she’s still trying to shake off that role. At least now she’s a Creative Executive at Clearwater Studios and living by a new mantra: fake it till you make it. Except, she might have faked it too far.
Desperate to get her first project greenlit and riled up by pompous cinematographer and one-time crush Dan Finnegan, she opened her mouth and a big fat fib fell out. She claimed that Jack Quinlan, hottest popstar of the moment, has promised to write an original song for the script. Jack may have been her first kiss – and greatest source of shame – but Jane hasn’t spoken to him in twenty years.
Now, Jane must turn to the last man she’d ever want to owe: Dan Finnegan. Because Jack is playing a festival in Dan’s beach hometown on Long Island, and Dan has an in. A week in close quarters with Dan while facing down her past is Jane’s idea of hell, but Dan just might surprise her.
While covering up her lie, can they find something true?

I WILL BECOME QUEEN OF LUCE… OR DIE TRYING.
There are few people I loathe more than Dante Regio, but my aunt Bronwen, my former grandfather Justus, and my Shabbin grandmother Meriam sit right alongside the Faerie monarch on my list of despicable beings. Especially after they assist the pointy-eared ruler with my kidnapping.
Locked in an obsidian underworld no Crow can reach, not even their king, I soon learn things aren’t as they seem. People aren’t as they seem. And history… I’m still attempting to reconcile the truth with what I was previously told.
My new allies have an agenda, but I have one of my own. Though there’s overlap–we all agree Dante must die–what I desire more than anything is to return to Lore before he levels the kingdom to find me… or loses his humanity trying.
I may favor crowns over coffins, but I refuse to live in a world where my mate only exists as a bird.

Ondertussen heeft een herstellende alcoholist genaamd Trig een nieuwe obsessie gevonden: het straffen van degenen die hij verantwoordelijk acht voor de valse veroordeling en de daaruit voortvloeiende dood van een onschuldige man, Alan Duffrey. Maar in plaats van elk jurylid op te sporen dat hem schuldig heeft bevonden, vermoordt Trig voor elk van hen een onschuldige plaatsvervanger. De politie heeft Holly’s hulp nodig om grip te krijgen op de willekeurige moorden.
Wanneer zowel Holly als degenen die ze beschermt en degenen van wie ze houdt in gevaar dreigen te komen, begint de tijd te dringen. En Holly kan ze alleen redden als ze twee sluwe criminelen tegelijkertijd te slim af is.
Met een boeiende cast van personages, zowel bekend als onbekend, waaronder de wereldberoemde gospelzangeres Sista Bessie en een onvergetelijke schurk die verslaafd is aan moord, komen deze twee verhalen samen in een huiveringwekkend en spectaculair slot.
‘Bestemd voor elkaar’ van Mienke Fijen is het los te lezen vervolg op ‘Geknipt voor elkaar’.

Een nieuwe standalone van New York Times bestsellerauteur Penelope Douglas
Drie mannen, één jonge vrouw, een afgelegen huisje in het bos. Laat die hete winternachten maar beginnen…
Tiernan de Haas geeft om niets meer. Als enig kind van een filmproducer en een filmster, groeide ze op in weelde en luxe, maar zonder liefde of iemand die haar begeleidde in het leven. Op jonge leeftijd werd ze naar een kostschool gestuurd, waar ze wel klasgenoten had maar zich nog altijd eenzaam voelde. De schaduw van haar beroemde ouders bleef haar overal achtervolgen.
Als haar ouders plotseling sterven, zou ze eigenlijk kapot moeten zijn van verdriet. Maar wat verandert er eigenlijk voor haar? Is Tiernan niet al haar hele leven alleen geweest?
Jake van der Berg, de stiefbroer van haar vader, is haar nog enige levende familielid. Hij wordt haar voogd voor de twee maanden dat Tiernan nog geen achttien is. Ze gaat bij hem en zijn twee zoons Noah en Kaleb wonen, in het afgelegen berggebied van Colorado. Daar komt Tiernan er al snel achter dat deze drie mannen een grote invloed hebben op haar.
Alle drie nemen ze haar onder hun hoede, leren haar om te werken en te leven in de bossen, ver weg van de rest van de wereld. Langzaam maar zeker vindt Tiernan haar plek. Ze gaat deel uitmaken van hun wereld. Maar dat is niet alles. Uiteindelijk realiseert ze zich dat grenzen vervagen en dat afspraken makkelijk te verbreken zijn als niemand kijkt.
Een van hen heeft haar… De andere wil haar. Maar hij…
Hij zal haar claimen.

They can’t even agree on what to read, so how are they going to solve a murder? St. Tredock Book Club disagree on everything, from the books they read to the biscuits they eat. For book club organiser Nova Davies, who’s new to the Cornish seaside village, the digestive vs shortbread debate is just the start of her problems…
Under Nova’s watch, £10,000 is stolen from the much-loved community centre. When book club member Michael disappears and a dead body turns up at his house, it seems clear who the perpetrator is. But the book club has their own theories.
Agatha Christie superfan Phyllis is determined to prove Michael’s been framed, while romance fanatic Arthur believes there’s a mystery woman involved, and teenage sci-fi reader Ash thinks dark forces are at play. Meanwhile, Nova’s just trying to keep them out of trouble. Soon the book club becomes very busy indeed.
Full-time book lovers, part-time sleuths, they put their differences aside to find Michael, solve the murder and recover the stolen money – all while trying to hide their own secrets… Can they crack the case? And with a killer on the loose, what will it take until they’re safe back home, curled up with book?
MEET THE GRIFFITH BROTHERSYOUR NEXT WILD COWBOY ROMANCE OBSESSION
CHRISTIAN
As a young widower and single dad trying to raise two daughters while also keeping my family’s cattle ranch afloat, yet another problem to solve is the last thing I need. And then Cassandra Parker turns up on my ranch. But the biggest problem of all isn’t actually the beautiful stranger sticking her nose in my operations.
It’s not even the bulldozer she’s driving over my way of life. Or the fact that she’s literally living in my house. My biggest problem? The engagement ring on her finger.
CASSANDRA
To be clear, I didn’t want to be Christian Griffith’s problem. But here I am: exiled from New York, stranded on a cattle ranch, and desperate to salvage what’s left of my career. Living with a single dad and his children is certainly a downgrade from my high-rise office and city comforts, but I agreed to it for one simple reason: to save my job.
Work has always come first for me, and that’s not about to change, even in the middle of nowhere, Texas. There’s absolutely no way a hot cowboy could ever lasso me into staying a second longer than necessary. Or so I thought.
