Дебютный роман. Magdalen Braden
Magdalen Braden была номинирована на премию 2012 Golden Heart за свой неизданный манускрипт “Blackjack & Moonlight”.
В декабре был издан ее первый роман.
TV producer Rand Jennings solves two problems--his boss-from-hell, Marcy, and his overachieving dad--when he sees a way to mess with Marcy's reality TV show, The Fishbowl. It'll drive Marcy crazy if he selects genuinely talented "Fish" who'll treat the game as more than trash-talking in skimpy swimwear. At the end of the season, Rand will have written a winning screenplay he'll pitch as "The Devil Wears Prada gets Gaslighted."
He casts his first ringer, a confident bartender from South Philadelphia, not realizing that Lissa-the-bartender is actually her twin, Libby-the-law-student. When Libby's summer law job evaporates in the bad economy, and a certain cute producer kisses her, she agrees to spend the summer locked in a stage set decorated like a fish tank.
As their relationship deepens despite the show, Libby's lies and Rand's deceptions threaten any chance they have to be a real couple. Set against the humorous backdrop of a tasteless reality TV show, Love in Reality (Book 1 of Magdalen Braden's Blackjack Quartet) is the sexy story of how falling in love forces Rand and Libby to be honest with themselves and each other.

Новости недели №66
Октябрьская новинка Valerie Bowman
Апрельская новинка AA Aguirre (тандем Энн и ее мужа Андрэса)
Hy Breasil is grimmer than it used to be.
Before the Architect closed the door, there were regular crossings, and a great war decimated both humans and Ferishers. The native fae who refused to treat with the invaders faded; their bodies withered and died, stranding them as hungry, angry spirits that haunt the countryside.
That means there’s always trouble brewing in Dorstaad.
Janus Mikani and Celeste Ritsuko work for the Criminal Investigation Department, keeping citizens safe from things that go bump in the night. He’s a hardboiled cynic with an uncanny sixth sense; she’s determined to justify her promotion as the first female detective in her division. Together, they’re trying to keep a black tide from drowning the city.
But when the second body surfaces, murdered with the same type of infernal device, the entire CID must face the truth. There’s a madman on the loose, twining magic and blood… and only Mikani and Ritsuko can unravel the intricate, lethal conspiracy before the Royale killer completes his macabre plan, unleashing old, forbidden magic on an unsuspecting populace. If the maniac succeeds, it could mean the end of everything…
A NOTORIOUS CRIME
A duchess awaiting trial for her vile husband’s murder is the most delicious gossip the ton has heard in years. But for Kate Townsende, the woman in question, it could be a matter of life and death. And when a shrewd and handsome nobleman offers to publish her side of the story while arranging for a barrister to take her case, she’s tempted by much more than the chance to defend herself…
A SHOCKING DESIRE
James Bancroft, Viscount Medford, tells himself he’s only interested in a bestselling pamphlet, but Kate’s stubborn determination is captivating. Could the accused widow be telling the truth? At first, James isn’t sure of anything besides his growing desire for her—but before long he’s willing to risk much more than his reputation to make the infamous beauty his wife…
