Mein Mitbewohner ist Sportler? Oh, Schei..! (The JOCK Series #1)
by Wade Kelly Valentine BrocasEs ist leicht, zynisch zu werden, wenn alles im Leben schiefläuft. Cole Reid ist seit seinem fünfzehnten Lebensjahr Außenseiter, nachdem er unbeabsichtigt von seinem Mittelstufen-Baseballteam geoutet wurde. Seitdem haben seine obsessiven Zwänge und seine sarkastische Art die meisten Menschen auf Abstand gehalten, außerdem hasst ihn jeder, weil er schwul ist. Seiner Ansicht nach ist er dazu verdammt, jeden potentiellen Freund automatisch zu vergraulen, platonisch oder romantisch, wieso sollte er sich also bemühen? Als er zu studieren beginnt, entwickelt er sich endgültig zum pedantischen Einzelgänger--kein Problem, zumindest bis sein vertrauter Mitbewohner auszieht und ihm Ellis Montgomery zugeteilt wird. Ellis ist unordentlich, hübsch, hetero, und zu allem Überfluss Sportler! Während eines Semesters voller Verbindungskumpels, Campingausflügen und überengagierten Eltern, entwickeln Ellis und Cole eine Freundschaft, die Coles pessimistische Weltsicht auf den Kopf stellt. Ellis muss mehr sein als ein amüsierwütiger Sportler--und vielleicht kann Coles wiedererwachende Libido seine Hoffnung auf mehr als Kameradschaft in die Realität umsetzen.

Melhor como uma memoria (Começar de Novo Dois #2)
by Dawn BrowerBelle passou a mão pela saia do vestido de coquetel preto. O salão de festas do hotel onde o evento de arrecadação de fundos estava sendo realizado estava decorado em alto estilo. Ela odiava esses eventos que seus pais insistiam que ela comparecesse. Seu pai, Wentworth Brennan, era um senador dos Estados Unidos. Ela se acostumou a assistir aos eventos tediosos no início de sua vida. Isso não significava que ela crescesse e gostasse deles. Este não seria diferente de nenhum dos outros. “Olá, querida.” Sua mãe, Adria Brennan, inclinou-se e beijou sua bochecha. “Estou feliz que você tenha participado esta noite. O trabalho tem mantido você ocupada demais para nos fazer uma visita?” Ela fez uma careta com o tom condescendente de sua mãe. Adria não aprovava sua ocupação. Belle trabalhava como médica de emergência no hospital local de Castleberry. Isso a mantinha ocupada e ela amava a constante descarga de adrenalina envolvida. Ela não podia imaginar fazer outra coisa. Sua mãe achava que estava abaixo dela. Não era ser uma médica a que ela se opunha. Era não ter uma médica de prestígio na família. Belle tinha uma posição baixa no hospital sem qualquer ambição real de subir para um nível mais alto. Uma especialidade diferente teria sido melhor, outra coisa senão uma cirurgiã geral. Era, na mente da mãe, rude. Sua filha devia subir mais e fazer melhor. Ela veio de uma das melhores famílias e havia expectativas.

Melissa: A Novel
by Taylor CaldwellThe #1 New York Times–bestselling author’s “magnificent” tale of romantic intrigue in the gothic tradition of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre (The New York Times). In the eyes of his daughter Melissa, Charles Upjohn can do no wrong. Where others see a minor novelist whose ego far outweighs his talent, Melissa sees a brilliant artist deserving of a wider audience. Where her sister and brother see a cold and inattentive parent who can’t provide for his family, Melissa sees a doting father whose intentions are beyond reproach. On his deathbed, Charles puts his eldest daughter in charge of her mother and siblings. Melissa will do anything she can to please him—even if it means marrying a man she hates. As Charles Upjohn’s publisher, Geoffrey Dunham holds the keys to the writer’s legacy. Dunham also has the means to provide for Melissa and her family, and the desire to do so. Melissa knows her life with Dunham will be grim and passionless, but she’s willing to sacrifice her own happiness in order to fulfill her father’s wishes. Dunham, however, refuses accept a wife in name only. To win Melissa’s heart, he must destroy everything she believes about her father—and herself. A darkly riveting portrait of the thin line between love and hate, Melissa confirms author Taylor Caldwell’s reputation as one of the twentieth century’s greatest storytellers.
