Seidman
by James ErichIn Viking Age Iceland, where boys are expected to grow into strong farmers and skilled warriors, there is little place for a sickly twelve-year-old boy like Kol until he catches the eye of a seið-woman--a sorceress--and becomes her apprentice. Kol travels to the sorceress's home, where her grandson, Thorbrand, takes Kol under his wing. Before long Kol discovers something else about himself that is different--something else that sets him apart as unmanly: Kol has fallen in love with another boy. But the world is changing in ways that threaten those who practice the ancient arts. As Kol's new life takes him across the Norse lands, he finds that a new religion is sweeping through them, and King Olaf Tryggvason is hunting down and executing sorcerers. When a decades-old feud forces Thorbrand to choose between Kol and his duty to his kinsman, Kol finds himself cast adrift with only the cryptic messages of an ancient goddess to guide him to his destiny--and possibly to his death.

Seiltänzer
by Mary Calmes Jutta GroblebenDer fünfundvierzigjährige Englischprofessor Nathan Qells ist sehr gut darin, anderen das Gefühl zu geben, dass sie ihm wichtig sind. Was er allerdings nicht gut kann - sie in seinem Leben zu halten. Er ist ein netter Kerl, er empfindet nur nicht so wie andere Menschen. Deshalb ist ihm auch in der ganzen Zeit, in der er Michael, den Jungen von gegenüber, betreut hat, nie aufgefallen, dass sich dessen Onkel und Vormund, der Mafiaschläger Andreo Fiore, immer mehr in ihn verliebt hat. Dreo hat größere Probleme, als Nate auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Er zieht seinen Neffen groß und versucht, seinen zwielichtigen Job hinter sich zu lassen und seine eigene Firma zu gründen. Doch dieses Vorhaben wird erschwert, als mehrere Unterweltgrößen durch Anschläge aus dem Weg geräumt werden. Trotzdem ist Dreo immer noch versessen darauf, sich ein neues Leben aufzubauen - ein Leben mit Nate als Mittelpunkt. Ein Leben, das genauso ist, wie Nate es sich immer erträumt hat. Unglücklicherweise, waren diese Anschläge nur Teil einer großen Umstrukturierung, und die Liebe, die Dreo offensichtlich für Nate empfindet, bringt auch diesen in die Schusslinie.

by Alina Becker Andrew GreyEs könnte der Fang seines Lebens werden. Zweimal im Jahr flieht William Westmoreland vor seinem unerfüllten Leben in Rhode Island nach Florida, um sich auf Mike Jansens Fischerboot einzumieten und auf den Golf hinauszufahren.

Mike hat seinen Charterservice in Apalachicola gegründet, um für seine Tochter und seine Mutter sorgen zu können. Ihre Sicherheit ist ihm dabei immer wichtiger als seine eigene. Er will sich nicht eingestehen, dass seine Zuneigung zu William mit jedem seiner Besuche wächst. An einem wunderschönen Tag beginnt Williams und Mikes letzte Fischfangtour, aber ein unberechenbarer Hurrikan bringt alles ins Wanken und die beiden Männer sitzen plötzlich fest. Mitten in Regen und Sturm werden sie von der Leidenschaft überwältigt, die sie all die Jahre unterdrückt haben. Zurück im Alltag warten allerdings zu viele Verpflichtungen auf William. Werden die beiden es schaffen, die Distanz zwischen ihnen zu überwinden und einen Ort zu finden, an dem sie beide ganz sie selbst sein können? Ihre Reise mag von rauem Seegang geprägt sein, aber die hoffnungsvolle Zukunft, die sie am Ende erwartet, ist die Turbulenzen wert.

Seize The Night: New Tales Of Vampiric Terror (The Dark-Hunter World #7)
by Sherrilyn KenyonValerius isn't a popular Dark-Hunter - he's a Roman, which means that the largely Greek Hunters have a major grudge against him and his civilization for superceding them. To make things worse, he's very conscious of his aristocratic background and breeding. So it serves him right when he runs into Tabitha Devereaux. She's sassy, sexy, and completely unwilling to take him seriously. (Not to mention Tabitha is also the sister-in-law of Kyrian, a former Dark-Hunter and Val's mortal enemy.) What Tabitha does take seriously is hunting and killing vampires-and soon she and Val have to grapple with the deadliest of all Daimons - one who's managed to come back from the dead, and one who holds a serious grudge against both of them. To win against evil, Val will have to loosen up, learn to trust, and put everything on the line to protect a man he hates and a woman who drives him nuts.

Selected Historical Novels: Victoria and Albert, Anne Boleyn, and Elizabeth
by Evelyn AnthonyBritish history comes to vivid life in these three novels of royal love and intrigue by an international bestselling author. Victoria and Albert: Drawn from Queen Victoria’s diaries and correspondences, Evelyn Anthony’s novel reimagines the story of how a sheltered eighteen-year-old girl ascended to the British throne, became a major force in politics, and fell in love with her cousin, Prince Albert. Spanning the first twenty-one years of her reign, Victoria and Albert is an unforgettable love story and “a sympathetic picture of a marriage which makes its royalty human in their frailties and their strengths” (Kirkus Reviews). Anne Boleyn: Sixteenth-century history comes thrillingly alive as King Henry VIII courts Anne Boleyn, who will settle for nothing less than the crown of England—even if Henry has to break with Rome in order to marry her. Anthony’s sweeping novel features a teeming canvas of iconic real-life characters: Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, the enemy Anne vows to destroy; Henry’s first wife, the proud and pious Queen Catherine of Aragon; and Thomas Cromwell, who engineers Anne’s downfall. From the halcyon early days of courtship to her imprisonment in the palace tower for treason, this is a “solid and vigorous story” of love, ambition, and the tragic destiny of Anne of the Thousand Days (The New York Times). Elizabeth: The sickly Catholic fanatic Mary Tudor has reigned for six years when her half-sister Elizabeth ascends to the throne. After enduring years of exile following the execution of her mother, Anne Boleyn, the twenty-five-year-old Elizabeth inherits a realm divided by religious turmoil and financial collapse. Focusing on the first three decades of Elizabeth I’s reign, Anthony chronicles the monarch’s long battle with her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots, for the throne, and the Virgin Queen’s relationship with the Earl of Leicester.
