by Phyliss Miranda<p>Everything’s bigger in Texas . . . including love. <p>A deputy sheriff in Houston, Avery Humphrey is ready for some hometown comfort when she heads back to Kasota Springs, but one kiss from Brody VanZant is enough to make her trade “soothing” for “sizzling.” <p>When it turns out hot, hard-headed Brody is another Bonita County deputy, sizzling gets complicated, especially after Avery is made the interim sheriff. <p>Brody knows romancing the boss isn’t on the duty roster, but to him it’s a state of emergency to prove to Avery that he’s the partner she needs—in her life and in her bed—and he’s ready to give her as many kisses as there are stars in the Texas sky to convince her.

These days his long-lost high school classmate is calling herself Rainey Michaels and she sure hasn't come to Kasota Springs by accident. It seems the Los Angeles Deputy DA has chosen the West Texas town to hide out from a dangerous convict. It's all Deuce can do not to corral the sexy spitfire--in the name of keeping her safe, of course. Problem is, Rainey isn't letting anyone in on her big secret, least of all a hard-bodied, former pro-footballer sheriff with an overactive protective instinct. So now she's trying to keep him in line, one slow kiss at a time. . .68,000 Words

So when his former secretary steps onto his foundation's charity auction block, Nick has the perfect opportunity to woo the stunning beauty from Texas. But aggressive counterbids force him to make an extreme proposition. Except money itself doesn't guarantee a blissful ride off into the sunset, especially when being won goes against the willful nature of McCall Johnson.

Maybe there's more to this playboy than she expected. . .66,000 Words

Angel Fire
by Lisa MiscioneThe bloody murder of her mother when she was a teenager made Lydia Strong into a woman obsessed with bringing brutal killers to justice. Now thirty years old, she is a reclusive bestselling true crime writer and investigative consultant whose intuitions never lie. The latest case to capture her attention is the disappearance of three adults, each the kind of loner whose sudden absence isn't missed-they have no family, few friends. The Santa Fe Police don't see a pattern, just three people who left their empty lives behind. But when another woman turns up missing, her apartment streaked with blood, even the police have to admit that something is wrong in their usually quiet town. Lydia and P.I. Jeffrey Mark, the ex-FBI agent who solved her mother's murder, begin a relentless investigation. But it is only when the killer ups the ante and goes after Lydia herself that, just like fifteen years ago when she put the FBI on the trail of her mother's killer, the real hunt begins...
Actos obscenos en lugar privado
by Marco MissiroliUn relato sobre la educación sentimental de Libero Marsell, el protagonista, desde el día en que, con doce años, sorprende a su madre con el mejor amigo de la familia, hasta pasada media vida, cuando encuentra por fin el amor duradero. A contracorriente del desapego y la indiferencia que reivindica la literatura contemporánea, Marco Missiroli -laureado con innumerables premios en Italia, entre ellos el Campiello Opera Prima 2006 y el Mondello 2015 con esta obra- ha volcado toda su intimidad en este impúdico y pormenorizado libro. Tras el nacimiento de su hijo, Libero comienza a escribir sus memorias. A partir de aquel imborrable instante de su niñez en el que descubrió con toda crudeza que la pasión no sabe de ataduras y convenciones, la historia recorre las últimas décadas del siglo pasado entre París y Milán. Así, echando la vista atrás, Libero rememora las numerosas experiencias sexuales y repasa el sinuoso proceso de madurez que lo lleva, finalmente, a percatarse del generoso y acogedor mundo de las mujeres. Primero Marie, la bibliotecaria, dispensadora de sabiduría, enamorada de los libros y de su soledad; más tarde Lunette, que le enseña el poder devastador de los celos y de la que huye, dejando atrás su existencia bohemia en París. Y por último, el frenesí de Milán, donde, entre los compañeros de la infancia, los textos de Buzzati y la taberna de Giorgio, se embarca en un sinfín de aventuras amorosas hasta que el encuentro fortuito con una persona lo conduce a alcanzar la insospechada plenitud. Reseña:«Una novela de una absoluta belleza, que ha traspasado todos los niveles de jerarquía de la literatura italiana contemporánea. A los treinta y cuatro años, Marco Missiroli se ha convertido en un escritor de referencia, el único al que no queremos renunciar. [...] Una maravilla del cosmos.»Il Corriere della Sera

Une intéressante communauté inter-espèces collaborera avec les deux humains afin de dévoiler d’innombrables mystères. Angélica et Alex apprendront qu’ils appartiennent à une élite d’êtres affins, et qu’ils ont été transportés loin de leur monde sur une planète rebaptisée Reservythia, à cause de leurs particularités.

Amid a conspiracy of interstellar proportions and complex plot twists, they’ll spend the rest of their lives trying to be happy. And they are not alone, because thousands of other alien species have had the same fate and now live in hexagonal biospheres inside a structure similar to a beehive. This ebullient community made up by different species will join these two humans and try to address several unanswered questions and concerns. In their relentless quest for the truth, amid thousands of questions and conjectures, they find out that reality is much harder to understand: Those responsible for their abduction—which they refer to as “Casch-Mesis”—are unbelievable multidimensional aliens. Alex and Angelica will learn that they’re part of an elite of individuals who have affinity and were transported to a place far away from their respective worlds, to a planet they call “Reservythia” because of its peculiar characteristics. After spending years in Reservythia, life will take its course and their human family will grow exponentially, thank
