1. Maverick - Jenna Myles

The day I met Cadence, I was drunk, lying on the floor of her rescue singing Twinkle Twinkle to a dog. The second time I met her, she was waitressing at a club. She was a dream, and the way she lit up around me, I thought I found my future.  Until my brother let it slip that I own the club and was technically her boss. The third time I saw her, I was drunk again, mostly naked, upside down on a stripper pole. Then I fell off. Of course she’s able to resist me.  But when I find her and her grandma sleeping in the rescue? Well maybe forcing them to come live with me wasn’t the best plan, but now that they’re here, I don’t want to let them go. So I’m going to work like hell to prove to her that she can trust me with all of her. |

Daughter of two ruthless high-gradient telepaths, Auden Scott is not the child her Psy parents wanted or expected, even before her brain injury. Her thoughts are scattered, her memories fuzzy-or just terrifyingly blank. The only thing she knows for certain is that she must protect her unborn baby...a baby she has no recollection of conceiving and who draws an abnormal intensity of notice from her dead mother's closest associates. Leopard alpha Remi Denier is a man driven by the primal instinct to protect. Protect his pack, protect his allies... and protect the mysterious woman who has become a most unlikely neighbor. With eerie eyes that see too much and a scent that alters in ways disturbing and impossible, Auden Scott is the enemy...but nothing about this strange Psy is what it seems, Remi's feline heart as fascinated by her as the human half of his soul. Then Auden asks Remi to help her shatter the wall of secrets that is the Scott bloodline. What they unearth will reveal a nightmare beyond imagination. This time, the battle is to the death... Praise for Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling Trinity Series 'Singh's talent for lush, expansive worldbuilding is on full display' Publishers Weekly 'Another hands-down winner that expands Singh's brilliantly conceived world' Library Journal (starred review) 'Truly one of the best storytellers in the business' Romantic Times |

A New York Times Bestseller From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Francesca Bridgerton, in the sixth of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix. FRANCESCA’S STORY In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and breathtaking, that one knows one’s life will never be the same. For Michael Stirling, London’s most infamous rake, that moment came the first time he laid eyes on Francesca Bridgerton. After a lifetime of chasing women, of smiling slyly as they chased him, of allowing himself to be caught but never permitting his heart to become engaged, he took one look at Francesca Bridgerton and fell so fast and hard into love it was a wonder he managed to remain standing. Unfortunately for Michael, however, Francesca’s surname was to remain Bridgerton for only a mere thirty-six hours longer—the occasion of their meeting was, lamentably, a supper celebrating her imminent wedding to his cousin. But that was then . . . Now Michael is the earl and Francesca is free, but still she thinks of him as nothing other than her dear friend and confidant. Michael dares not speak to her of his love . . . until one dangerous night, when she steps innocently into his arms, and passion proves stronger than even the most wicked of secrets . . . |
25. Demons - Abbi Glines
|

|
Thatcher There wasn’t a moment in my life that I didn’t feel detached. My earliest memory is that of my mother looking at me as if I was something to fear. I’d never had a relationship with her. The ones I did have were forged from loyalty. Love was a concept that was used to explain a broad range of emotions that one felt. I had very few of those, so I didn’t require labels. When a situation presented itself that required a reaction, I thought it out—made my decision. Even if those closest to me believed my actions weren’t something I could control. I let them think it because their misconception gave me power. I was the master of my impulse. Except once- when wide, terrified gray eyes locked on mine. She’d been in trouble, and my questionable sanity snapped. That day, I realized my twisted soul wasn’t the only thing buried deep inside me. Perhaps it was what my mother had seen in my eyes as a child that kept her from caring for me like she did my brother. The evil that seemed to dwell but not stir had been provoked. The sweet little minister’s daughter had no idea the demons she’d awaken. Capri Just when I get a chance of a lifetime to ride for Shepherd Ranch and make a mark in the horse racing world, everything else in my life seems to take a downward spiral. I’m terrible with flirting, and I can’t seem to keep a guy interested long enough for any real relationship. I spend most nights alone, and my imagination is starting to get the best of me. I’ve almost convinced myself there is something in the shadows watching me. I shouldn’t have stopped praying. Now, my list of sins has gotten out of hand in God’s tally book. I doubted he had enough saving grace to wipe all I’d done clean. |

58. Lady Tan's Circle Of Women - Lisa See
|

|
' Despite the inordinate limits placed on women, See allows their strengths to dominate their stories'  Washington Post 'Poignant . . . quietly affecting' Time 'Emotional and illuminating'  BookPage In 15th century China two women are born under the same sign, the Metal Snake. But life will take the friends on very different paths.   According to Confucius, ‘an educated woman is a worthless woman’, but Tan Yunxian – born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separation and loneliness – is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. She begins her training in medicine with her grandmother and, as she navigates the male world of medicine, requiring tact and diplomacy, she struggles against the confining world of her class.   From a young age, Yunxian learns about women’s illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. The two girls find fast friendship and a mutual purpose – despite the prohibition that a doctor should never touch blood while a midwife comes in frequent contact with it – and they vow to be forever friends, sharing in each other’s joys and struggles.  No mud, no lotus , they tell themselves: from adversity beauty can bloom.   How might a woman like Yunxian break free of tradition, go on to treat women and girls from every level of society, and lead a life of such importance that many of her remedies are still used five centuries later? How might the power of friendship support or complicate these efforts?  Lady Tan’s Circle of Women  is a captivating story of women helping other women. It is also a triumphant reimagining of the life of a woman who was remarkable in the Ming dynasty and would be considered remarkable today. Praise for Lisa See 'This novel spans wars and generations, but at its heart is a beautifully rendered story of two women whose individual choices become inextricably tangled’ Jodi Picoult 'No one writes about female friendship, the dark and the light of it, with more insight and depth than Lisa See’ Sue Monk Kidd 'See’s thoughtful and empathetic book sheds necessary attention on this largely ignored event' New York Times 'A powerful and essential story of humanity' Los Angeles Review of Books 'A spellbinding portrait of a time burning with opportunity and mystery'  O: The Oprah Magazine 'A lush tale infused with clear-eyed compassion' The Washington Post |

Gareth’s sole bequest is an old family diary, which may or may not contain the secrets of his past . . . and the key to his future. The problem is—it’s written in Italian, of which Gareth speaks not a word. Meet Our Heroine . . . All the ton agreed: there was no one quite like Hyacinth Bridgerton. She’s fiendishly smart, devilishly outspoken, and according to Gareth, probably best in small doses. But there’s something about her—something charming and vexing—that grabs him and won’t quite let go . . . Meet Poor Mr. Mozart . . . Or don’t. But rest assured, he’s spinning in his grave when Gareth and Hyacinth cross paths at the annual—and annually discordant—Smythe-Smith musicale. To Hyacinth, Gareth’s every word seems a dare, and she offers to translate his diary, even though her Italian is slightly less than perfect. But as they delve into the mysterious text, they discover that the answers they seek lie not in the diary, but in each other . . . and that there is nothing as simple—or as complicated—as a single, perfect kiss. |

No one except him.  Being dead was not as easy as Karli thought it would be. She couldn’t call anyone, use her cards, or go anywhere with a camera. Her face had been on every channel, trying to gather support for finding her killer. A man who killed the wrong woman. A man who would hunt her down and get it right if he knew Karli was still alive.  Cade knew the woman in the morgue was not who everyone said she was. He knew her face, every inch of it, and they were wrong. He just had to find her, the other her, and convince her to trust him.  When a stranger calls her by name, Karli’s instincts tell her to run. But there’s something about him that pulls her in. Something that gets her to let her guard down. Something that could cost her her life. Forever this time. |

During her long years of service, she has known pain, loss, heartache…and one great love. Edward, captain of the Royal Guard, loved her once. However, Princess Liza's sweet innocence inadvertently stole the heart he had once sworn belonged to Mara alone. When the queen learns of her daughter's forbidden love for Edward, she devises a series of punishments, torturing Edward while her daughter is forced to watch.

All of their pain is cast aside when Liza is murdered by a rival court. Haunted by her failure to protect the princess, and seeking a route to protect the guards who served under her from the queen's increasing cruelty, Mara takes the ancient vow of the Black Rose. Her quest for vengeance leads her on a dark path of violence, rage, and bloodshed. Tormented by a fate they can neither accept nor escape, Black Rose is a tale of retribution, love, and above all, honor—at any cost. |
