Knocked Up (Crazy Love #2)

Instead, thanks to some tough love, I worked my ass off and now I own a string of tattoo parlors throughout the Pacific Northwest. And yet the one thing I’ve always wanted—a family—still seems out of reach. When my best friend gets married, I’m just hoping to blow off some steam with the super-hot maid of honor. But after Cara Thompson tracks me down to tell me she’s pregnant, she’s more surprised than I am when I tell her I’m all in. Cara: For the first time in my life, I’m living for myself—not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And what’s the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god, Braxton Henley seems way too eager to “be there for me.” Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he won’t back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one night stand might’ve led me to the one. Advance praise for Knocked Up“The romance was spicy and plentiful.

La filla del rellotger
by Kate MortonTorna una de les grans autores contemporànies. El meu nom real? Ningú el recorda.Els successos d'aquell estiu? Ningú més els sap. L'estiu del 1862 un grup de joves artistes, guiats per l'apassionat i brillant Edward Radcliffe, viatja a Birchwood Manor, una mansió a Berkshire. Tenen un pla: viure uns mesos reclosos i deixar-se emportar per la inspiració i la creativitat. No obstant això, quan l'estiu arriba a la fi, una dona ha mort d'un tret i una altra ha desaparegut, s'ha perdut una joia de valor incalculable i la vida de l'Edward Radcliffe s'ha enfonsat. Uns cent cinquanta anys més tard, l'Elodie Winslow, una jove arxivera de Londres, descobreix una cartera de cuir que conté dos objectes sense cap relació aparent: una fotografia en sèpia d'una dona de gran bellesa, habillada amb un vestit victorià, i el quadern d'esbossos d'un artista, en el qual hi ha un dibuix d'una casa de dues teulades a la vora d'un riu. Per què aquest esbós de Birchwood Manor li resulta tan familiar, a l'Elodie? I qui és aquesta dona tan bella que apareix a la fotografia? Li revelarà els seus secrets? Narrada per diverses veus al llarg del temps, La filla del rellotger és la història d'un assassinat, un misteri i un robatori, i també una reflexió sobre l'art, la veritat i la bellesa, l'amor i la pèrdua. Per les seves pàgines corre, com l'aigua d'un riu, la veu d'una dona lliure dels lligams del temps, el nom de la qual ha caigut en l'oblit: Birdie Bell, la filla del rellotger, l'única persona que va veure el que va passar. La crítica ha dit de Kate Morton...«Memòries, intriga i secrets de família entreteixits en un absorbent laberint de trames complementàries, que ens arrosseguen a una lectura plena de força, tendresa i emoció. Amb un estil ágilevocador Kate Morton ens commou amb una magnífica història, difícil d'oblidar.»María Dueñas «Morton atrau per la manera d'entreteixir escenes en les seves novel·les fins a construir un tapís preciosista, intimista, farcit de clarobscurs i misteris subtils, en el qual et submergeixes sense resistència possible.»El País «N'hi ha que saben construir el passat com el seu tresor més gran, com un pou sense fons de riquesa en forma de relats, de secrets, d'aventures, històries d'amor, adversitats, crims i passions, de vivències que marquen a foc els seus protagonistes i sobreviuen indelebles tant al pas de les fulles del calendari com al relleu generacional (...) I Kate Morton és, en aquesta cursa a través del temps, una de les més destacades... i millors... sprinters.»El Mundo «Sens dubte, aquesta australiana és l'escriptora del moment.»El Cultural «Història, misteri i memòria (...) segueix fidel a la seva fórmula: una novel·la en la qual passat i present, tots dos amb accent anglès, es barregen amb el misteri per atrapar el lector sense remei.»ABC

Lui potrebbe aiutarla a saldare i debiti di famiglia evitandole di finire in prigione, ma potrebbe anche reclamare diritti il suo cuore ... Simon è determinato a risollevare la reputazione della sua famiglia e a recuperare tutti gli averi rubati dallo zio, anche se ciò significa abbandonare il suo sogno di diventare un accademico. L'ultima cosa che si aspetta è che la ragazza che ha incontrato a una festa in giardino sia una ladra! Come Jude potrà mai convincerlo che, nonostante le menzogne, il suo amore per lui è sincero?
La lady dello scandalo
by Christina McKnight Giulia GalloLady Sybil Anson pensava di avere tutto. Persino l'anima gemella, sebbene la nobiltà londinese fosse solita sposarsi per mera convenienza. Ma la notte prima della cerimonia per ufficializzare il loro fidanzamento, l'amore della sua vita è svanito nel nulla, senza lasciarle altro che uno scarno biglietto scarabocchiato in tutta fretta. Come se un cuore spezzato non fosse sufficiente, i giornali scandalistici hanno infierito su di lei, peggiorando la situazione con assurde insinuazioni sul motivo della scomparsa del Visconte di Galway. Adesso, più di un anno dopo, Gideon ha fatto inaspettatamente ritorno... e Sybil pretende delle risposte. Molti, molti anni fa, Gideon Lyndon ha commesso un grave errore. Un errore a cui ha trascorso la maggior parte della sua vita adulta a cercare di porre rimedio. Nonstante i progressi compiuti, i sacrifici richiesti sono stati enormi e assai dannosi. Sul punto di risolvere finalmente la questione, Lord Galway si ritrova però a dover fronteggiare la sfida più difficile di tutte: riconquistare la donna che ha amato sin dal loro primo incontro. Ma dopo più di un anno di silenzio, convincere la sua testarda dolce metà a riprenderlo con sé non sarà affatto semplice. Specialmente perché non può rivelarle la ragione della sua sparizione. Non se vuole tenerla al sicuro.
