Book Description

He’s the NHL’s Golden Boy, the Atlanta Siege’s All-Star goalie, and the crusher of hearts … at least when it comes to one woman from his past. Hockey has been Christian Reinhardt’s focus since he was nine years old. When an injury threatens to take that from him, he’s forced to start planning a future off the ice. Now the gaming app he’s been coding on the side is priority number one. The kicker? The woman who can get him access to the beta testers he needs is the one whose heart he once shattered. She’s a woman on a mission, determined to do whatever it takes to achieve her dreams … until that means aligning with the one guy she hoped never to see again. Getting rejected by her first love taught Paige O’Connell to focus on her career rather than romance. Now a registered dietician and private chef, she’s met all her goals except getting her food on retail shelves, and it’s looking like it’s going to take a miracle to make that happen. Go figure that her miracle shows up in the form of Christian Reinhardt. With his squeaky-clean image, huge fan base, and finely-honed physique, he’s exactly the spokesperson she needs. It starts as a tentative truce that quickly ignites a familiar spark. How it all ends will depend on whether Christian can convince Paige to give him one more chance at protecting her heart. Game on. A Heart So Familiar is a steamy sports romance featuring a sizzling hot NHL goalie with questionable social skills and a sassy chef with a big heart and a fetish for gaming T-shirts. This is the second of Raine’s Atlanta Siege hockey romances, but it can be read as a standalone since it comes complete with a hockey romance HEA that will give you all the feels.

Book Description

From the author of the international best seller House of Leaves and National Book Award–nominated Only Revolutions comes a monumental new novel as dazzling as it is riveting. The Familiar (Volume 1) ranges from Mexico to Southeast Asia, from Venice, Italy, to Venice, California, with nine lives hanging in the balance, each called upon to make a terrifying choice. They include a therapist-in-training grappling with daughters as demanding as her patients; an ambitious East L.A. gang member contracted for violence; two scientists in Marfa, Texas, on the run from an organization powerful beyond imagining; plus a recovering addict in Singapore summoned at midnight by a desperate billionaire; and a programmer near Silicon Beach whose game engine might unleash consequences far exceeding the entertainment he intends. At the very heart, though, is a twelve-year-old girl named Xanther who one rainy day in May sets out with her father to get a dog, only to end up trying to save a creature as fragile as it is dangerous . . . which will change not only her life and the lives of those she has yet to encounter, but this world, too—or at least the world we think we know and the future we take for granted. (With full-color illustrations throughout.) Like the print edition, this eBook contains a complex image-based layout. It is most readable on e-reading devices with larger screen sizes.

Book Description

​​WINNER OF THE IMPAC DUBLIN AWARD • Widely considered a masterpiece, a breathtaking novel about family secrets that chronicles the relentless power of the past—from the award-winning author of The Infatuations and "Spain's best writer" (Roberto Bolaño, national bestselling author of The Savage Detectives). Juan knows little of the interior life of his father Ranz; but when Juan marries, he begins to consider the past anew, and begins to ponder what he doesn't really want to know. Secrecy—its possible convenience, its price, and even its civility—hovers throughout the novel. A Heart So White becomes a sort of anti-detective story of human nature. Intrigue; the sins of the father; the fraudulent and the genuine; marriage and strange repetitions of violence: Marías elegantly sends shafts of inquisitory light into shadows and onto the costs of ambivalence.
