Borrow a Boyfriend Club - Page Powars

Need a prom date? Want to impress your friends? Or make your ex jealous? Just call... THE BORROW A BOYFRIEND CLUBWhen sixteen-year-old Noah starts at a new school, he has a plan to ensure the students see him as his true gender: join the school's secretive Borrow a Boyfriend Club, where members rent themselves out to their classmates for dates. The endless "accidental slip-ups" that plagued him at his last school will be a thing of the past once he joins the club; after all, it has "boy" right in the title.But he fails the audition. Desperate, he strikes a deal with the club's prickly president, Asher: he'll help lead the nearly-bankrupt club to victory at the school's fundraising dance competition, and in exchange Asher will allow Noah to prove his skills as a boyfriend in a series of tests that include romancing Asher himself. As Noah passes test after test, his fake romance with Asher starts to feel surprisingly real, and Noah is faced with a dilemma.If he fails to win the dance fundraiser the club will go bankrupt, and he'll not only lose the new friends he's made - the whole school will know he isn't "boy enough". But if Noah succeeds in securing the club their victory, he'll have to follow the most important, unbreakable rule of the Borrow a Boyfriend Club: no real girlfriends (or boyfriends) allowed. Will Noah risk breaking the rules for a chance at love?

The Keeper of Stories - Sally Page

'Janice is a wonderful woman whose authenticity pulls you along...the breadth and originality of supporting characters makes this debut an immersive delight' Dorset Magazine 'Absolutely spellbinding...a warm-hearted, thoughtful, funny and yet deeply poignant' Celia Anderson, author of 59 Memory Lane 'A treasure of a book. Beautiful, emotional and heartfelt with a cornucopia of characters you'll love spending time with' Phaedra Patrick, author of The Library of Lost and Found She can't recall what started her collection. Maybe it was in a fragment of conversation overheard as she cleaned a sink? Before long (as she dusted a sitting room or defrosted a fridge) she noticed people were telling her their stories. Perhaps they always had done, but now it is different, now the stories are reaching out to her and she gathers them to her... When Janice starts cleaning for Mrs B - a shrewd and tricksy woman in her nineties - she meets someone who wants to hear her story. But Janice is clear: she is the keeper of stories, she doesn't have a story to tell. At least, not one she can share. Mrs B is no fool and knows there is more to Janice than meets the eye. What is she hiding? After all, doesn't everyone have a story to tell?

Karmín - Sharon Page

Althea Yatesová je lovkyně upírů, zkušená v zacházení s kuší a kůlem. Ale o mužských dotecích neví nic – ani o tom, jak ovládnout hříšné sny, které ji pronásledují ve spánku. Tehdy přicházejí oni. Dva nadpozemsky krásní muži, kteří ji uchvacují ve sladkých tělesných hrátkách a přivádějí ji k propasti nádherné touhy a nepředstavitelné erotické rozkoše. Je to skandální. Zakázané. Kacířské. Její milenci totiž nejsou muži, ale upíři – tytéž bestie, které ona a její otec přísahali zničit. Je to jen sen… dokud do hostince nepřijede elegantní kočár tažený čtyřmi černými koňmi. Dokud nevystoupí Yannick de Wynter, hrabě z Brookshiru. Uhrančivý, odhodlaný a lačný po něčem, co Althea nedokáže pojmenovat. A náhle si přestává být jistá, zda se jí to jen zdálo. Šlo snad o nebezpečně erotickou předtuchu? „Hříšně smyslné a nádherně vykreslené. Historická erotická romance snad už ani nemůže být lépe popsaná.“ – Kate Douglas, autorka knihy Wolf Tales„Sharon Page mísí historii, emoce a žhavý, žhavý, žhavý sex v rámci úžasného milostného příběhu.“ – Kathryn Smith, autorka bestselleru Be Mine Tonight

The Posthumous Papers of the Manuscripts Club - Christopher de Hamel

The acclaimed author of Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts introduces us to the extraordinary keepers and companions of medieval manuscripts over a thousand years of historyThe illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages are among the greatest works of European art and literature. We are dazzled by them and recognize their crucial role in the transmission of knowledge.But we generally think much less about the countless men and women who made, collected and preserved them through the centuries, and to whom they owe their existence. This entrancing book describes some of the extraordinary people who have spent their lives among illuminated manuscripts over the last thousand years. A monk in Normandy, a prince of France, a Florentine bookseller, an English antiquary, a rabbi from central Europe, a French priest, a Keeper at the British Museum, a Greek forger, a German polymath, a British connoisseur and the woman who created the most spectacular library in America - all of them were participants in what Christopher de Hamel calls the Manuscripts Club.This exhilarating fraternity, and the fellow enthusiasts who come with it, throw new light on how manuscripts have survived and been used by very different kinds of people in many different circumstances. Christopher de Hamel's unexpected connections and discoveries reveal a passion which crosses the boundaries of time. We understand the manuscripts themselves better by knowing who their keepers and companions have been.In 1850 (or thereabouts) John Ruskin bought his first manuscript 'at a bookseller's in a back alley'. This was his reaction: 'The new worlds which every leaf of this book opened to me, and the joy I had in counting their letters and unravelling their arabesques as if they had all been of beaten gold - as many of them were - cannot be told.' The members of de Hamel's club share many such wonders, which he brings to us with scholarship, style, and a lifetime's experience.
