Jusqu’où peut-on tomber en seulement un mois ? À quelle vitesse l’esprit humain peut-il être brisé ? Où peut se cacher le démon en plein jour ?

Ash veut danser. Il en a besoin. Pour laisser derrière lui une vie faite d’attente et de devoir, pour libérer son esprit.

Mais la vie n’est jamais aussi simple. Chaque pas est un voyage sur une nouvelle route.

Pour chaque action, il y a une réaction.

Chaque décision a une conséquence.

Et quand vous rencontrez la mauvaise personne, qui sait ce qui peut arriver.

Laney tolère ses limites, elle les repousse doucement. Mais quand Ash fait irruption dans son monde à travers la violence et la rage, cela entraîne une réaction en chaîne à laquelle aucun d’eux ne s'attendait.

A friendship between the lost and lonely Caroline, and the unhappy Sebastian, leads to an illicit love that threatens them both.

Caroline Wilson is trapped in a cold and loveless marriage with an older man. When her husband finally wins a long sought-after promotion, Caroline feels she has little choice but to follow him to a new home in San Diego. There she meets Sebastian, a young man of 17. For an all too brief summer, their happiness blooms. But external pressures begin to bear down, not least from the overbearing David, and Sebastian’s parents begin to suspect that their son has a secret. Even Caroline’s new friend, Donna, realizes that dark passions exist below the serene surface.

Career girl and radio host hotshot Cady Callahan has never met a chocolate she didn’t love. She has curves and doesn’t care.

She’s shocked when a raffle ticket bought to support a veterans charity means she’s won a year’s membership to Body Tech, an exclusive Manhattan gym, where all the top athletes train and all the A-list actors go to get in shape for their action roles. She’s also won a personal trainer in the shape of far too tantalizing Rick Roberts.

Rick is less impressed when Cady’s arrival leads to a media circus. The retired British rugby ace runs a serious training facility, and he definitely doesn’t have time for anyone who doesn’t want to work hard.

When curvy Cady challenges him to train her to run a marathon by the end of the year, it seems a solution to both their problems. If … when she drops out of training, his gym will go back to normal.

But Cady isn’t planning on losing the bet—she just wasn’t counting on any complications. And surly Rick is very complicated. And as tempting as the tastiest treat.

#3histoires... à emporter avec vous cet été en durée limitée !

Des étoiles dans la mer

Livvy a pris la fuite. Elle s'est échappée là où personne ne pourra jamais la retrouver.

Mais dans le cottage isolé où elle se réfugie, il y a déjà Tom, un mystérieux inconnu, qui est là pour des raisons personnelles.

Dans l'intimité de ce cottage abandonné, au cœur de la nature sauvage de l'île, leur connexion immédiate est impossible à ignorer. Mais alors qu'ils fuient leur histoire et refoulent leurs secrets, le passé les rattrape et bouleverse leurs vies de façon inimaginable.

Malgré leurs sentiments profonds et leur alchimie puissante, ils devront se battre contre un enchevêtrement de mensonges et surmonter les blessures de leur passé. La vérité, en émergeant, fera peut-être plus de mal que de bien.

"Une histoire captivante, dévastatrice, magnifiquement bien écrite, qui parle de ceux qui nous blessent et de ceux qui nous guérissent. Je n'ai pas pu reposer le livre une seule fois, et j'y pense encore !" Mia Sheridan, auteur du best-seller du New York Times, Archer's Voice.

Callahan, ex-sniper de l'armée, veut échapper à son passé et à tout ce qu’il a expérimenté à la guerre, mais, par-dessus tout, il veut échapper aux sentiments qui n'amènent que de la souffrance.

Alors quand il hérite d'une maison sur l'Ile de Kiawah, en Caroline du Sud, il n'hésite pas : attiré par la tranquillité et l'isolement qu'il pense y trouver, l'ancien soldat fait ses bagages. Mais Callahan ne se serait jamais attendu à rencontrer quelqu'un comme Trinity...

Après avoir eu le cœur brisé par le seul homme qui la considérait autrement que comme sa "bonne copine" ou "la fille marrante", Trinity décide d'aller de l'avant et d'intégrer le Corps de la Paix après un dernier été à Kiawah.

Elle n'avait simplement pas prévu que cet été serait inoubliable.

Callahan ne veut devenir proche de personne... encore moins de Trinity.

Sa joie de vivre est insupportable et ses tentatives pour lui arracher un sourire sont gênantes. Après tout, il est venu à Kiawah pour fuir tout sentiment.

Luka

Je ne suis pas un homme bon. Je ne suis pas un homme mauvais. Mais j’ai commis des erreurs, des mauvais choix. Qui ne l’a pas fait ? Mais les conséquences nous déchirent.

J’aime deux personnes. Je les aime différemment. Le monde me dit que je dois choisir. Pourquoi ? Pourquoi dois-je choisir ? Aimer fait mal. La danse guérit.

L’amour vous écorche, vous fait voler et vous rend libre – et vous laisse ensuite tomber en chute libre jusqu’à ce que vous soyez écrasé et que vous saigniez par terre.

À mon sens.

J’aime deux personnes.

Je les aime différemment.

L’une est un homme.

L’autre est une femme.

Et ils sont frère et soeur.
