Growing unhappy with the status of their once blissful marriage, Chessy knows that something has to give, or they stand to lose it all. Tate loves his wife. Has always loved her. Providing for her has always been his number-one priority. But lately she's seemed unhappy, and he's worried.

Tal y como lo soñé (El club de las Tulipanes #Volumen 2)
by Marion S. LeeBea lleva toda una vida buscando un hombre que cumpla con los «estándares Crespo»: alto, rubio, ojos azules, simpático y... highlander. La segunda entrega de la serie «El club de las Tulipanes» creada por Marion S. Lee y Lucía de Vicente, ¡no te puedes perder la historia de Bea! Es Carnaval en Cádiz y para la fiesta de inauguración del Hotel-Palacio Los Tulipanes, Beatriz Crespo y sus socias han preparado una fiesta de disfraces en la que han puesto todo su esfuerzo e ilusión. En el momento más álgido de la noche, Cameron Brodie, el simpático dueño de un pub escocés local, aparece para solicitar un presupuesto para celebrar allí el congreso anual de la Asociación Escocesa de Cazadores de Mitos Antiguos. Ante tal encargo, que las afianzaría en el marco hostelero de la cuidad, Beatriz trata de diseñar un programa atractivo para los posibles huéspedes. Y para ello, necesitará la ayuda de Cam, que ejercerá de intermediario con la asociación escocesa. Lo que Bea no espera es que, mientras dedica todo su esfuerzo en conseguir que el evento de la asociación de cazadores de mitos se realice en el hotel, el emisario se vuelva todavía más interesante que la tarea que tiene entre manos. Al fin y al cabo, el guapo escocés con alma de gaditano reúne todas esas cualidades que desde siempre ha considerado importantes en un hombre. Lo que al inicio no era más que una relación comercial pronto se convierte en otra que ninguno de los dos espera, pero contra lo que no se les ocurre luchar. Beatriz está cansada de ser desgraciada en el amor y a Cam no parece importarle ser el highlander con el que ella siempre soñó. Ana Álvarez ha dicho sobre la serie...«Presentar esta serie escrita por dos magníficas autoras que, además, son muy queridas para mí, me genera una especial ilusión. Ellas han unido sus esfuerzos y sus estupendas plumas para deleitarnos con unas novelas cercanas y entretenidas, cuyas tramas se desarrollan en Cádiz, una ciudad preciosa y que conozco bien. Por lo tanto, puedo afirmar que la labor de documentación que han llevado a cabo es exhaustiva y minuciosa, como todo lo que suelen realizar. No tengo dudas de que las cuatro novelas que constituyen la serie "El club de las Tulipanes" harán las delicias de los lectores por su calidad literaria y la originalidad de sus argumentos, así como estoy segura de que los carismáticos personajes que en ellas aparecen os enamorarán. ¡Disfrutadlas!»Ana Álvarez
Talamh
by Lisa AidanUn rey preocupado por el futuro, una hija capaz y aguerrida, un hombre valiente y dispuesto a todo por alcanzar la paz. ¿Están sus caminos destinados a encontrarse? En las convulsas tierras del norte, las tribus han alcanzado un equilibrio; a pesar de que algunos todavía guerrean entre sí, Mordrain ha conseguido que su reino sea un lugar de paz. El problema del rey es que se ha hecho mayor y, aunque ha tenido muchos vástagos con la que fue su esposa, Eara, tan solo le queda una sucesora, Cailin, que hace dos años alcanzó la edad adulta. Una promesa a su fallecida reina le ha impedido casarla hasta la fecha, pero los reinos allende de sus fronteras son brutales y despiadados, por lo que, tras la muerte de otra de sus hijas más mayores, es necesario que una nueva alianza se forje para proteger a su gente. Aunque eso vaya en contra de los deseos de su heredera. Lean el Bárbaro, dirigente de su tribu, en plena zona de continuas guerras y saqueos, admira a un reino del que únicamente ha oído hablar y que no solo se mantiene al margen de las escaramuzas, sino que es neutral y, en muchas ocasiones, mediador de conflictos entre otros reinos, y admira al rey Mordrain por conseguir semejante hazaña. Por ese motivo, cuando se entera de que este ha hecho un llamamiento a los distintos líderes, acude también. Pero no solo desea conocerlo: debe saber si los rumores de que busca una alianza mediante el matrimonio con su hija son ciertos y, si es así, disuadirlo. Lean cree que las mujeres recién llegadas a la adultez no deberían convertirse todavía en esposas y mucho menos de guerreros y saqueadores sangrientos. Sin embargo, cuando la vida y la muerte conviven, solo queda una salida: La Alianza.
Tale of Birle
by Cynthia VoigtThere are some who say that the Lady Fortune has a wheel, and all men are fixed upon it. The wheel turns, and the men rise, or fall, with the turning of the wheel. Birle has agreed to be wed to the huntsman Muir as an escape from the drudgery of life at her father's inn -- but the moment she looks into the bellflower blue eyes of the man she comes upon stealing one of her father's boats, Birle knows she cannot marry Muir. Even after she discovers the mysterious stranger is Orien, a Lord and as unreachable to an innkeeper's daughter as a star, Birle is determined to travel with him as far as he will allow. Their travels take Birle to a world far from home, a world where Lords may become slaves, where Princes rule by fear, and where Fortune's Wheel turns more swiftly and dangerously than Birle could have imagined. Newberry Medalist Cynthia Voigt's second novel of the Kingdom, set two generations later than Jackaroo, is a memorable combination of thrilling adventure and heart-stopping romance.
