by Amy Lane Emanuela GrazianiSerie Promesse, Libro 2Il più grande desiderio di Shane Perkins è essere un eroe. Ma dopo aver preso la decisione di lottare fino alla morte mentre la sua carriera viene distrutta, Shane torna a casa dall'ospedale e trova quattro mura vuote, un mucchio di soldi e un desiderio bruciante di avere qualcuno che sentirà la sua mancanza la prossima volta che verrà ferito compiendo il suo dovere. Finisce a fare l'agente di polizia nella piccola cittadina di Levee Oaks e, ossessionato dalla promessa di una famiglia, fa uno sforzo per riconciliarsi con sua sorella, volubile e inquieta. Kimmy si guadagna da vivere ballando e il suo partner toglie il fiato a Shane dal primo istante. Mikhail Vasilyovitch Bayul balla come un angelo, ma il suo passato è tutto tranne che celestiale. Da quando ha lasciato la Russia, ha fatto solo due promesse: di stare alla larga dalla strada, di rimanere pulito e di portare sua madre in qualche bel posto prima lei che muoia. Fare promesse a chiunque altro è fuori discussione, però Mikhail non ha mai conosciuto nessuno come Shane. Serio, coraggioso, con la tendenza a sminuirsi, Shane sembra parlare il suo linguaggio e nessuno è più sorpreso di Mikhail nello scoprire che il miglior talento di Shane è quello di mantenere le promesse.
Promesse infrante
by Jacopo Di Carlo Chris AxcanC'è un proverbio spagnolo che dice "Dove c'è stato fuoco rimangono sempre ceneri". Io credo che nel mio caso sia: dove c'è stato amore, dolore e inganno, non può rimanere che odio. Sì, perché lo odiavo con tutte le mie forze, e questo non sarebbe mai cambiato. Il mio incubo era tornato, e in che modo... Un ordine diretto del Presidente degli Stati Uniti in persona mi obbligava a coesistere ventiquattro ore su ventiquattro con lui, e molto da vicino. Il mio nome è Isabella Farrell, e sono un'agente federale. La mia missione è "proteggere l'uomo che più odio". Difficile, vero?

by Amy Lane Emanuela GrazianiSerie Promesse, Libro 1Carrick Francis ha passato la maggior parte della sua vita a cacciarsi in un guaio dopo l'altro. L'unica cosa che l'ha salvato dal finire in prigione, o peggio, è stata la sua devozione assoluta a Deacon Winters.

Così, alla morte del padre di Deacon, Crick mette da parte i suoi piani per il college per aiutare Deacon, come Deacon ha fatto per lui. Il più grande desiderio di Deacon è vedere Crick liberarsi dai suoi brutti ricordi e andarsene dalla città in cui sono cresciuti per godersi un futuro scintillante. Ma dopo due anni di tentazioni e di sentimenti sempre più forti, alla fine il timido Deacon soccombe alle avances determinate di Crick e ammette di voler far parte della sua vita. Deacon è quasi distrutto dal dolore quando scopre che Crick si era sempre aspettato che lui lo cacciasse via, proprio come già aveva fatto la sua famiglia. Quando la capacità di Crick di prendere decisioni avventate lo fa finire molto lontano da casa, Deacon rimane solo, sotto shock, lottando per rimettere insieme il suo cuore in un mondo dove l'amore di Crick è una promessa, ma di certo non una certezza.

Ma tutti i fantasmi del suo passato stanno per tornare a dargli la caccia e anche la famiglia a cui ha legato il suo futuro non se la sta passando bene. Collin è più di un ragazzo dagli occhi innamorati, ed è meglio così, perché Jeff avrà bisogno di tutto l'aiuto che riuscirà a trovare.
