En sommar utan dig

Fiction & Literature

Varje sommar lämnar vännerna Lucy och Bridget stan för frisk havsluft, färska ostron och krispigt vin på en ö vid Kanadas kust. Och varje sommar lovar Lucy sig själv att hon inte ska hamna i Felix säng igen. Kemin mellan dem är elektrisk men det finns för många anledningar till varför de inte borde vara med varandra. Lättare sagt än gjort. Men även om Lucy inte kan hålla händerna borta från Felix, har hon åtminstone lyckats tygla sina känslor. När Bridget plötsligt flyr till ön en vecka innan sitt bröllop följer Lucy efter för att hjälpa sin vän ur krisen. Hon är inställd på att undvika Felix, men hans glittrande ögon och flirtiga repliker verkar ha ersatts av något djupare. CARLEY FORTUNE är en prisbelönt journalist som har arbetat på några av Kanadas största tidningar. Hon växte upp utanför Sydney och i Barrys Bay, en småstad i Ontario, där hennes debutroman, Alla somrar med dig, utspelar sig. Romanen blev snabbt en internationell bästsäljare och gjorde succé bland läsarna på TikTok. En sommar utan dig är Carley Fortunes tredje bok.

Tre önskningar

Fiction & Literature

Trillingarna Kettle har som av en slump spelat huvudrollerna i offentliga små uppträden hela sina liv. Den här kvällen är det en helt makalöst galen scen de ställer till med när en champagnesprudlande födelsedagsmiddag slutar i ett praktfullt gräl och en ambulans som i ilfart måste bege sig till sjukhuset. Vem var det som satte igång bråket denna gång? Var det Cat: vars liv, sedan kvällen hemma framför tv:n då Dan fick för sig att bekänna sin otrohet, varit ett enda kaos? Var det Lyn: den på ytan så framgångsrika perfekta systern med eget företag och lyckligt äktenskap? Eller var det Gemma: det dagdrömmande yrvädret som inte kan behålla en hemlighet för sig själv? Oavsett vem av de tre systrarna det var så innebär denna födelsedagsmiddag att deras liv ställs på sin spets, att de tvingas omvärdera sin kärlek till varandra och till människorna i sin närhet. Tre önskningar är en varm och sprudlande bok om tre systrar och deras vedermödor i livet: en otrogen make, panikångestattacker, oväntade graviditeter, skilda föräldrar som efter nästan trettio år blir tillsammans igen och den symbiotiska kärlek kanske bara trillingsystrar kan uppleva.Livfull, upplyftande och härlig, denna bok håller dig fången till den allra sista sidan.Bendigo AdvertiserMoriarty har skrivit en fräck, kaxig debutroman med intelligens, humor och en pigg handling som är perfekt att stoppa ner i väskan på väg till stranden.Herald Sun

Claire can handle anything.But when planning the gala propels her into the orbit of billionaire Lock Dixon, unexpected sparks begin to fly.

To her surprise, she can't ignore how they make her feel, either. Claire finds the gala, her life, and herself spinning out of control.A Summer Affair captures the love, loss, and limbo of an illicit romance and unchecked passion as it takes us on a brave and breathless journey into the heart of one modern woman."Think you know where this is going? Think again. Hilderbrand is way too smart to give away the whole story in her title." —Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

Nine percent of those who survived mutated into tragically deformed creatures. And one percent gained superpowers. The Wild Cards shared-universe series, created and edited since 1987 by New York Times #1 bestseller George R. R. Martin along with Melinda Snodgrass, is the tale of the history of the world since then—and of the heroes among that one percent.Originally begun in 1986, long before George R. R. Martin became a household name among fantasy readers ("The American Tolkien" --Time magazine), the Wild Cards series earned a reputation among connoisseurs for its smart reimagining of the superhero idea. Now, with Inside Straight, the Wild Cards continuity jumps forward to a new generation of major characters, entirely accessible to Martin's hundreds of thousands of new readers, with all-original stories by Martin himself, along with Daniel Abraham, Michael Cassutt, and Stephen Leigh, among others.The Wild Cards UniverseThe Original Triad#1 Wild Cards#2 Aces High#3 Jokers WildThe Puppetman Quartet#4: Aces Abroad#5: Down and Dirty#6: Ace in the Hole#7: Dead Man’s HandThe Rox Triad#8: One-Eyed Jacks#9: Jokertown Shuffle#10: Dealer’s Choice#11: Double Solitaire#12: Turn of the CardsThe Card Sharks Triad#13: Card Sharks#14: Marked Cards#15: Black Trump#16: Deuces Down#17: Death Draws FiveThe Committee Triad#18: Inside Straight#19: Busted Flush#20: Suicide KingsThe Fort Freak Triad#21: Fort Freak#22: Lowball#23: High StakesThe American Triad#24: Mississippi Roll#25: Low Chicago#26: Texas Hold 'EmAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
