You can't keep two people who are meant to be together apart for long . . . Lennon Davis doesn't believe in much, but she does believe in the security of the number five. If she flicks the bedroom light switch five times, maybe her new LA school won't suck. But that doesn't feel right, so she flicks the switch again. And again. Ten more flicks of the switch and maybe her new stepfamily will accept her. Twenty-five more flicks and maybe she won't cause any more of her loved ones to die. Fifty more and then she can finally go to sleep. Kyler Benton witnesses this pattern of lights from the safety of his tree house in the yard next door. It is only there, hidden from the unwanted stares of his peers, that Kyler can fill his notebooks with lyrics that reveal the true scars of the boy behind the oversize hoodies and caustic humor. But Kyler finds that descriptions of blond hair, sad eyes, and tapping fingers are beginning to fill the pages of his notebooks. Lennon, the lonely girl next door his father has warned him about, infiltrates his mind. Even though he has enough to deal with without Lennon's rumored tragic past in his life, Kyler can't help but want to know the truth about his new muse.

"Samuel Pepys' FRS, MP, JP, (pron.: /pi?ps/;[1] 23 February 1633? 26 May 1703) was an English naval administrator and Member of Parliament who is now most famous for the diary he kept for a decade while still a relatively young man. Although Pepys had no maritime experience, he rose by patronage, hard work and his talent for administration, to be the Chief Secretary to the Admiralty under both King Charles II and subsequently King James II. His influence and reforms at the Admiralty were important in the early professionalisation of the Royal Navy.[2] The detailed private diary Pepys kept from 1660 until 1669 was first published in the 19th century, and is one of the most important primary sources for the English Restoration period. It provides a combination of personal revelation and eyewitness accounts of great events, such as the Great Plague of London, the Second Dutch War and the Great Fire of London."--Wikipedia.

Emilia Gallo knows darkness. She has been abused and controlled by it for her entire life. Trapped in the clutches of an evil, criminal stepfather, with only her selfish, weak mother on her side she is alone and constantly afraid of what each new horror-filled day will bring. She has learnt from a young age to survive in this hellish existence, but when her stepfather lands the ultimate blow - selling her to the Albanian Mafia - she knows it's only a matter of time before her monsters truly win the battle she has spent her whole life fighting, and break her. But an unexpected opportunity for escape gives Emilia the chance she needs to flee her fate and she grabs onto it with both hands. Armed with very little cash, few belongings and a letter that details a possible hope for her future, she ventures into a world she has been sheltered from and knows very little of. There she finds new friends, a job and a home she can feel safe in for the first time in her life, but what she really wants is family - someone to love her. When she tracks down Nico, the brother she never knew existed, she finds that family she had always longed for, and so much more. Lincoln, Parker and Jax - Nico's brothers and teammates - are instantly attracted to Emilia from the moment they meet her, and she falls for them too. They make her feel safe and whole in a way she has never known and can't explain. She wants them all - needs them - but these retired Navy SEALs are not men who share. With her monsters close on her heels, a confusing attraction to three guys, and the trauma of her horror filled past making a normal life impossible, Emilia finds her new beginning isn't all she had hoped it would be. She thought she had left behind the danger and fear of her past, but as it stalks closer she realizes she can never escape it. Will she be strong enough to fight it with her new found family, and the men she is fast falling for, at her side?

With only five hundred dollars in his back pocket and the odds heavily stacked against him, he worked like a slave-rat during his university life. By the time he graduated, he had seven scholarships to his name, a top graduate salary at a multinational corporation, a property portfolio with a combined worth of seven figures and memories to last a lifetime. Never underestimate the potential of a student with a burning desire to get rich.” A must read for anyone with a sense of humour!

International bestseller Not Everybody Lives the Same Way is a powerfully original and unusual novel. Masterfully translated by David Homel and brilliantly animated by Jean-Paul Dubois’s keen feeling for humanity and intense revolt against all forms of injustice, it asks the question: What does it takes to live a dignified life? Winner of the Prix Goncourt for Fiction Paul Hansen is in prison. He’s been in this prison on the outskirts of Montreal for a couple of years now, sharing a cell with a murderous Hells Angel who often reminds Paul that he could kill him at any moment. What did Paul do to end up here? And why does he jeopardize his life and release by refusing to show remorse? Before prison, there were his parents. There were his friends at the Excelsior, the luxury apartment complex where Paul worked as caretaker as well as restorer of souls and comforter of the afflicted. And there was his partner, Winona, an intrepid seaplane pilot, and their beloved dog, Nouk. Many of those closest to him are gone now, but Paul still talks to them; they appear in his dreams and as ghosts in his cell. From France in the sixties to the asbestos mines of Québec, from the sand dunes of the peninsula where the Baltic connects to the North Sea to the wild lakes and mountains of Canada, Jean-Paul Dubois’s extraordinary novel Not Everybody Lives the Same Way, follows this man, Paul Hansen, as he reviews his life. A life of equilibrium, it has given Paul both tragedy and gifts––that is, until the moment when fate presents him with someone capable of breaking his balance.
