Sobredosis de Cupcakes (Serie Cupcakes #2)
by Bethany LopezSalí con mis amigas para disfrutar de una muy necesaria noche de chicas, mientras me preguntaba si beber otro martini sucio me llevaría al límite. Lo siguiente que supe fue que estábamos en medio de una situación en la que ningún grupo de mujeres en su mayoría borrachas debería estar. Todo comenzó cuando Bea dijo que necesitaba ir al baño, lo que llevó a Amy May a decir que estaba a punto de estallar, y Carmen y yo decidimos que deberíamos ir todas para volver a la pista de baile lo antes posible. Fue nuestra suerte que desde el baño de atrás escucháramos a una mujer gritar: —No —y la voz de un hombre decirle—: Sé que lo quieres. Ese imbécil eligió el baño equivocado, en el club equivocado, en el momento equivocado. No sabía que era el vicepresidente de Cade. Y, aunque la salvamos de sus garras esa noche, un mes después, la encontrarían flotando en la piscina de un motel... lo que causaría el primer problema que Cade y yo tendríamos que enfrentar como pareja. Bueno, eso y Branson Braswell. ¿Quién hubiera pensado que extrañaría los días en que mi mayor problema era mi ex idiota e infiel? Dirigir una firma de IP era mucho más difícil que tomar fotos para uno, especialmente cuando tu vida profesional se desborda en la personal. Y salir con un macho alfa que montaba en motocicleta y se veía bien haciéndolo, no siempre era sol y rosas. Estaba comiendo tantos cupcakes como nuestro nuevo cachorro gastando tapetes absorbentes y si no tenía cuidado tendría una Sobredosis de Cupcakes.

The Society (The Society Series, Book #1)
by Lilith SaintcrowThe black-ops government agency called Sigma broke Justin Delgado, trained his psionic talent, and turned him into a killer. Then he escaped and joined the Society, an underground resistance movement of psions determined to use their talents to bring Sigma down. Competent, cold, and cruelly efficient, he's the best operative the Society has, a legend among the psions who fight a shadow war against an enemy that owns the courts, the press, and the police. Feared even by his own teammates, hunted by the government, and too damaged to feel anything but clinical rage, he is utterly alone--until he meets Rowan. When Rowan Price stumbles across Delgado's team in an abandoned house, he is assigned to make contact with her, bring her in, and keep her alive--because Rowan is one of the most powerful psychics the resistance has ever encountered. She possesses a talent that can heal shattered minds and broken bodies, or it can incite riots and revolution. If the government gets its hands on her, she could very well mean the downfall of the resistance, because nobody, not even Rowan, is quite sure how far her talents extend or how powerful she could eventually become. Twenty-four hours after she meets Delgado, her life is shattered and she's on the run from Sigma. If Sigma can't take her freedom, they'll settle for her life. She is simply too powerful to be left alone. The Society will welcome Rowan, if she can stay alive long enough to join them. Unfortunately, there's a traitor buried in the ranks of the resistance, ready to betray everything the Society has worked so hard to achieve. If the Society goes down, Rowan is at risk. God alone knows what Delgado will do to keep her safe, because Rowan is fast becoming the only thing in the world he cares about...
