Scommessa da gentiluomo (Le spose di North Barrows #1)
by Claire DelacroixSette anni prima, Sophia Brisbane perse tutto - suo padre, suo fratello, il suo patrimonio familiare - ma peggio ancora, fu rifiutata dall'uomo che amava. Determinata a non desiderare il passato e i suoi piaceri, fino a quando non incontrò di nuovo Lucien de Roye. Pur sapendo che Sophia non avrebbe mai potuto essere sua, Lucien aveva giurato di recuperare l'eredità sprecata, scommettendo la sua stessa anima con un demone. Quando Sophia scoprirà l’accaduto, nessuna forza in cielo o in terra potrà convincerla a lasciare che sia lui a pagare il dovuto al demone, a qualunque costo.
Scones and Sensibility
by Lindsay ElandSeek tirelessly and you shall not find a contemporary heroine of middle-grade literature as refined and romantic as Miss Polly Madassa. Still swooning over the romantic conclusions of Pride & Prejudice and Anne of Green Gables, twelve-year-old Polly decides her purpose in life: helping along lonely hearts in search of love. Polly's only task this summer is to make deliveries for her parents' bakery, leaving ample time for this young cupid to find hearts to mend—beginning with the kite-store owner, Mr. Nightquist, who will pair perfectly with Miss Wiskerton (the unfairly labeled town curmudgeon). Polly's best friend Fran Fisk is in desperate need of a mother ever since hers ran off with a man she met on the Internet; Polly must find a match for Mr. Fisk. And while she's at it, it wouldn't hurt to find Clementine, Polly's teenaged sister, a beau worthy of her (so she can shed that brute, Clint). Polly's plans are in full swing, so she definitely cannot be bothered by the advances of classmate Brad Barker. But maybe Polly should have turned her attention to Miss Austen's Emma next, because she quickly learns the pitfalls of playing matchmaker. How will Polly patch up her own relationships, while ensuring that destined love can take its course?

Sconvolta da un vampiro (Cuori Immortali di San Francisco #3)
by Susan GriscomLane DeMarco è un vampiro a pezzi, tormentato da un orribile passato che rende impossibili ogni intimità e fiducia. La sua passione, suonare musica, è l'unica cosa che lo soddisfa abbastanza da lenire la sua inquietudine, finché Vanessa scuote la sua esistenza più forte del terremoto di San Francisco. Lei è intelligente, forte, determinata... ma è una strega. Una strega che già una volta gli ha lanciato un incantesimo. Vanessa Creamer ha ereditato grandi poteri per diritto di nascita, ma eventi traumatici nella sua vita hanno distrutto la sua autostima. Benché sappia nasconderlo bene, ogni giorno combatte con la propria insicurezza e nega i suoi più profondi desideri verso l'unico uomo che davvero vuole. L'attrazione che prova per Lane, con la sua voce vellutata e lo sguardo da letto, si dimostra irresistibile. Tutti i tentativi per avvicinarsi a lui sono falliti e lei teme che al proprio desiderio corrisponda da parte di lui un altrettanto forte e intenso disprezzo. La passione s'incendia tra di loro mentre ancora combattono con segreti annidati nel profondo, che li perseguitano. La strega di cui lui diffida potrà domare i demoni che lo torturano? O l'ardente desiderio di entrambi non farà altro che spingerlo ancor più giù, in fondo al suo inferno?
Scoop (Occupational Hazards Series, Book #1)
by Rene GutteridgeAnd now back to our regularly scheduled insanity. Channel 7 news producer Hugo Talley dreams of working with first-class professionals. Instead he's saddled with a weatherman who can't admit when he's wrong, an aging anchorwoman who refuses to release her clawlike grip on the newsdesk, a conscience-stricken reporter who's reluctant to focus on sensationalism, and a new assistant--former homeschool student Hayden Hazard--who can't just seem to leave her faith outside the newsroom. When the Channel News 7 team inadvertently stumbles on a hot news story, Hugo is frantic to exploit this rare opportunity. But a series of crises--including a Botox disaster and the disappearance of a colleague--threatens to destroy his chance for ratings success and send him completely over the edge. Meanwhile Hayden's presence is distracting at least two coworkers.

With their oddball antics and all-too-real foibles, this lovable cast of characters offers a hilarious look at the sometimes--unexpected effects of taking one's faith boldly into the workplace.
