Rue Siebert a une règle d’or : elle n’accorde jamais de second rendez-vous. Cela participe à son équilibre de vie. Des amies fidèles (enfin, juste deux), la stabilité financière qui lui a fait défaut dans son enfance et un job de rêve chez Kline, une entreprise de biotechnologie, suffisent à son bonheur. Alors, quand elle quitte Eli Killgore après une soirée mémorable, elle sait qu’elle ne le reverra jamais. Seulement, le lendemain matin, Rue apprend, médusée, que Kline a été rachetée… par Eli et ses associés. C’est un homme qui a l’habitude d’obtenir ce qu’il veut, en affaires comme en amour. Sauf que Rue Siebert est catégorique : elle ne va rien lui céder, et surtout pas son cœur. Le phénomène TikTok ! Le phénomène Goodreads ! Best-seller du New York Times !Cher lecteur, chère lectrice, Ces quelques mots pour vous prévenir que Not in Love sera un peu différent de mes précédents romans. Rue et Eli ont connu une enfance difficile, le deuil, l’insécurité alimentaire, des épreuves dont ils ont souffert et dont ils souffrent encore. Ils aimeraient apprendre à se connaître, mais ne savent pas trop comment s’y prendre autrement qu’à travers une relation physique. C’est pourquoi ce roman tient plus de la romance érotique que de la comédie romantique. Évidemment, l’histoire d’Eli et de Rue se termine sur un happy end. Mais elle aborde des thèmes sérieux. Voilà, je tenais à vous le dire ; vous savez maintenant à quoi vous attendre ! Avec tout mon amour, Ali

Not in love

Trois romances, trois héroïnes survoltées : Ali Hazelwood à la puissance maximale ! Scientifiques un jour, scientifiques toujours ; Mara, Sadie et Hannah partagent une solide amitié, même si la vie professionnelle les a séparées. Bien qu’elles aient chacune leur spécialité, aucune ne dira le contraire : en amour comme en science, les opposés s’attirent ! Que ce soit sous le même toit, dans un ascenseur ou quand il fait très froid, le mercure finit toujours par grimper…

Loathe to love you

Oui, c’était un colosse taciturne, maussade et sombre. Il était secret, introverti. Il avait un tempérament réservé et distant. Je ne pouvais exiger de lui qu’il m’apprécie, et n’en avais aucune intention. Toutefois, s’il pouvait être courtois, poli, même aimable avec tous les autres, il aurait pu faire un effort avec moi, aussi. Mais non – à l’évidence, Levi Ward me méprisait, et, face à une telle haine… Eh bien. Je n’avais d’autre choix que le haïr en retour. Comme une Jedi vengeresse aux cheveux violets rétablissant l’équilibre dans un univers d’hommes, Bee Königswasser vit selon une règle simple : que ferait Marie Curie ? Si la NASA lui proposait de diriger un projet de neuro-ingénierie, Marie accepterait sans hésitation ! Mouais. Mais la mère de la physique moderne n’a jamais eu à codiriger avec Levi Ward… son ennemi juré de la fac. Séduisant et ténébreux (évidemment). Qui s’est toujours tenu à des années-lumière de distance d’elle. Pourtant, peu après son arrivée à Houston, Bee jurerait voir Levi s’adoucir pour devenir un allié… tout en la dévorant de ses yeux verts. Tous les neurones de Bee sont en ébullition ! Lorsqu’elle doit vraiment passer à l’action et mettre son cœur en jeu, seule une question compte : que fera Bee Königswasser ?

Love on the brain

Et si le bonheur se trouvait juste sous nos yeux ? Anna, 37 ans, croule sous le travail et les relances des huissiers. Ses filles, elle ne fait que les croiser au petit déjeuner. Sa vie défile, et elle l’observe depuis la bulle dans laquelle elle s’est enfermée. À 17 ans, Chloé a renoncé à ses rêves pour aider sa mère. Elle cherche de l’affection auprès des garçons, mais cela ne dure jamais. Comme le carrosse de Cendrillon, ils se transforment après l’amour. Lily, du haut de ses 12 ans, n’aime pas trop les gens. Elle préfère son rat, à qui elle a donné le nom de son père, parce qu’il a quitté le navire. Le jour où elle apprend que ses filles vont mal, Anna prend une décision folle : elle les embarque pour un périple en camping-car, direction la Scandinavie. Si on ne peut revenir en arrière, on peut choisir un autre chemin. Anna, Chloé, Lily. Trois femmes, trois générations, trois voix qui se répondent. Une merveille d’humour, d’amour et d’humanité.

Sounds Like Love

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Aster comes her adult debut novel Summer in the City—a swoony, fast-paced rom-com set in New York City in which a screenwriter and a sexy tech CEO go from lovers to enemies and back to lovers again… Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter Elle has the chance of a lifetime to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem? She’s had writer’s block for months, and her screenplay is due at the end of the summer. In a desperate attempt at inspiration, Elle ends up back in the city she swore she would never return to, in an apartment she could never afford (floor-to-ceiling windows, skyline views, and a new coffee shop to haunt included). It’s the perfect place to write her screenplay…until she realizes her new neighbor is tech “Billionaire Bachelor” Parker Warren, her stairwell hookup from two years ago. It’s been a lovers-to-enemies situation ever since. When seeing him again turns into a full night of hate-fueled writing, Elle realizes her enemy/twisted muse might just be the key to finishing her screenplay... if she can stand being around her polar opposite. She writes anonymously, and he’s on the cover of every business magazine. He frequents fancy red carpeted events, and she doesn’t like leaving her emotional support five block radius. One summer. One wall apart. He needs to fake a buzzy relationship during his company’s precarious acquisition. She needs to write a movie around a list of NYC locations. Both need a break from their unrelenting schedules, and a chance to rediscover the skyscraper glimmering, pizza crusted, sunlit charms of the city. Summers always end, and so will this agreement. It’s all pretend. Promise. Until it isn’t.

32 Days in May

Now a movie starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, USA Today bestselling author Sally Thorne’s hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that thin, fine line between hate and love. Nemesis (n.) 1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome. 2) A person’s undoing 3) Joshua Templeman Lucy Hutton has always been certain that the nice girl can get the corner office. She’s charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. And the feeling is mutual. Trapped in a shared office together forty (ok, fifty or sixty) hours a week, they’ve become entrenched in an addictive, ridiculous never-ending game of one-upmanship. There’s the Staring Game. The Mirror Game. The HR Game. Lucy can’t let Joshua beat her at anything—especially when a huge new promotion goes up for the taking. If Lucy wins this game, she’ll be Joshua’s boss. If she loses, she’ll resign. So why is she suddenly having steamy dreams about Joshua, and dressing for work like she’s got a hot date? After a perfectly innocent elevator ride ends with an earth shattering kiss, Lucy starts to wonder whether she’s got Joshua Templeman all wrong. Maybe Lucy Hutton doesn’t hate Joshua Templeman. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game. This production includes a bonus excerpt from Sally Thorne’s next audiobook, 99 Percent Mine.

Love Story

One of Oprah Magazine's 21 Romance Novels That Are Set to Be the Best of 2020 USA Today bestselling author Talia Hibbert returns with another charming romantic comedy about a young woman who agrees to fake date her friend after a video of him “rescuing” her from their office building goes viral... Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Romantic partners, whatever their gender, are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits—someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom. When big, brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it’s an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and former rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact to him, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Suddenly, half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae—and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Turns out his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse? Dani’s plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. The trouble is, grumpy Zaf is secretly a hopeless romantic—and he’s determined to corrupt Dani’s stone-cold realism. Before long, he’s tackling her fears into the dirt. But the former sports star has issues of his own, and the walls around his heart are as thick as his... um, thighs. The easy lay Dani dreamed of is now more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint? “Talia Hibbert is a rockstar! Her writing is smart, funny, and sexy..."" - Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Little Bridge Island and Princess Diaries series

Je ne vois que ça pour expliquer que la vie m’ait désignée comme son souffre-douleur préféré. » Camille n’a pas de chance ces derniers temps. Côté coeur, elle vient de se faire larguer comme un vieux Kleenex après trois ans de relation. Et côté carrière... Ce n’est pas avec ce reportage sur le tournoi intercommunal de football catégorie poussins qu’elle va se faire un nom. Les grandes réalisatrices ne travaillent sûrement pas les pieds dans la boue, après avoir galéré deux heures dans le RER ! Alors c’est décidé, elle va se venger. Faire morfler son ex et lui pourrir la vie, comme il l’a fait avec elle. Et c’est EVE, l’avatar qu’elle se crée sur les réseaux sociaux, qui va s’en charger à coups de commentaires bien sentis. Malheureusement, Camille est aussi douée pour la vengeance que pour manger un plat en sauce sans se tacher... ©2020, Éditions Larousse

Rupture, tarot et confiture

Beautiful, flirtatious, and recently widowed, Lady Susan Vernon seeks an advantageous second marriage for herself, while attempting to push her daughter into a dismal match. A magnificently crafted novel of Regency manners and mores that will delight Austen enthusiasts with its wit and elegant expression.

Lady Susan

Determined to make her heroine "as poor and plain as myself," Charlotte Brontë made a daring choice for her 1847 novel. Jane Eyre possesses neither the great beauty nor entrancing charm that her fictional predecessors used to make their way in the world. Instead, Jane relies upon her powers of diligence and perception, conducting herself with dignity animated by passion. The instant and lasting success of Jane Eyre proved Brontë's instincts correct. Readers of her era and ever after have taken the impoverished orphan girl into their hearts, following her from the custody of cruel relatives to a dangerously oppressive boarding school and onward through a troubled career as a governess. Jane's first assignment at Thorn field, where the proud and cynical master of the house harbors a scandalous secret, draws readers ever deeper into a compelling exploration of the mysteries of the human heart. A banquet of food for thought, this many-faceted tale invites a splendid variety of interpretations. The heroine's insistence upon emotional equality with her lover suggests a feminist viewpoint, while her solitary status invokes a consideration of the problems of growing up as a social outsider. Some regard Jane's attempts to reconcile her need for love with her search for moral rectitude as the story's primary message, and lovers of Gothic romance find the tale's social and religious aspects secondary to its gripping elements of mystery and horror. This classic of English literature truly features something for every reader.

Jane Eyre

A beautiful New England town. An old New England family. An albatross of a house. When you've lived your entire life in the shadow of failed expectations, you don't take risks and you don't expect payoffs. Beth Burnham is in trouble. She's broke, underemployed, and her house is falling down around her. Down to the last $20 bill in her grocery jar, she approaches the local law firm, hoping that they'll hire her as a part-time attorney. But when she finds that the new managing partner is the man she jilted eight years ago, and when she realizes that he still loves her, her world is turned upside down. What's more, a handsome young tattoo artist is in town, ready to sweep her off her feet. What do you do when you've always been such a good girl? Maybe it's time to shake the dust off your feet and leave.... A timeless, romantic, second-chance-at-love story set in an authentic New England.

Coming Home to Greenleigh

Being Maupassant’s second-published novel, "Bel Ami" follows the vile and corrupt rags-to-riches rise to power of Georges Duroy, a young man of endless opportunities, but easily corrupted by the shining façade of power. The protagonist’s self-centred way of life involves his derogatory attitude towards women, sexual encounters, corrupt politicians, and money. The novel is a strong social critique of Maupassant against the egotistical urges in a money- and power-driven society. A Hollywood production came in 2012, starring Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman. Guy de Maupassant was a famous French writer, best known as one of finest practitioners of the French short story. Master of style and dramatic narrative, Maupassant’s stories are mainly interested in the relationships between men and women, often found at the crossroads of life. One of his greatest influences was Gustave Flaubert, who introduced him to some of the central names of the time such as Emile Zola, Henry James, and Ivan Turgenev. Some of his best known works include the novels "Bel Ami" and "Une Vie", more than 300 short stories, travel books, and even an attempt at poetry.

Now, she lives on the South Coast of the UK, has a day job to keep her holiday budget topped up, and two kids and a husband to keep an eye on.
