At thirty-nine, Peyton Somerset has an enviable life, with a thriving advertising career and a beautiful Manhattan apartment. And now she's going to have the one thing she wants most-a baby. Peyton's biological clock went off just as her fiancé took off, leaving her at the altar. So Peyton's going it alone. Already, she's making plans for the little one inside her...buying the layette, daydreaming, and worrying over the littlest things. That's only natural. All mothers do. But Peyton has reason to worry. In fact, she has every reason to be terrified... MAMA WON'T BE SINGING ANY LULLABIES. As the months pass, Peyton can't help feeling that something is terribly wrong. She's certain that someone has been in her apartment, that she's being followed, that someone is watching her. Maybe it's just hormonal paranoia that makes her distrust everyone around her. Or maybe her maternal instincts are dead on. Maybe there's someone close who doesn't think she should give birth at all. Someone who would do anything to have a baby. Anything...

Con Luna, primera entrega de la trilogía En la oscuridad, Ana Coello nos sumerge en una peligrosa novela romántica, con la que busca continuar el éxito en Wattpad, gracias a millones de lecturas de todas sus historias.

Luna quebrada: Milagro de amor en Navidad
by Gloria V. CasañasSegunda novela de la serie Tres lunas de navidad, compuesta por tres historias que se tejen bajo el influjo de la luna y transcurren en diversos escenarios de los Estados Unidos y la Argentina. En Luna quebrada, se define el destino de Juliana Balcarce, que en Noche de Luna Larga se despidió con una promesa de amor. Juliana Balcarce, hija de una de las maestras norteamericanas que el presidente Domingo Faustino Sarmiento llevó a la Argentina entre 1869 y 1898 para fundar el Normalismo, decide estudiar medicina en un tiempo en el que las ciencias están vedadas a las mujeres. Aconsejada por la primera médica argentina, Cecilia Grierson, viaja a las sierras de Córdoba, donde funciona un hospital para enfermos de tuberculosis, un flagelo que atraviesa todas las clases sociales. Basado en el concepto de la "cura de altitud" que se practica en Europa, el sanatorio climatérico alberga tanto a enfermos crónicos como a desahuciados, en medio de un paisaje de valles y quebradas embellecido por el sol del verano en el hemisferio sur. Allí, impulsada por su espíritu compasivo y por una intuición clínica que lleva en la sangre al ser la nieta de un cacique del desierto por vía paterna, Juliana toma el caso de un minero serrano como un desafío. Es un hombre simple, pero su alma delicada es la de un artista. Entre enfermera y paciente se entabla un vínculo cada vez más estrecho, aun sabiendo que sus mundos son ajenos, no sólo por su nivel cultural sino por las convenciones de la época. En la víspera de la Navidad llega al hospital alguien a quien Juliana conoció durante el tiempo en que acompañó a su abuela en Amherst, Estados Unidos. Y su presencia la arroja a una encrucijada. ¿Traerá la luna de Navidad la claridad que la joven necesita para encontrar el camino?
