I should be immune to a man like Dax. Tall, dark, and deadly . . . quite literally with that sexy Army Ranger scroll on his uniform. But I know firsthand the headache, the worry, the grief that can come with a Special Ops guy like him. And I'll have no part of it. Even after Dax starts living in the extra room in my house. Even when he greets me in the morning, showcasing those glorious pecs-of-perfection before I've even had my coffee. Even when I find out that the man behind that devilish grin is ten times as tempting as his flawless form.

My name is Everly Banks, and I seem to collect problems like most people collect dust bunnies. With an army of enemies at the gate, I must gather one of my own. With the hunters on my side, and maybe even in my bed, I begin to have hope that I will make it through the coming war with my mind and heart intact. Some people seek to use me while others play the long game. But not all of my enemies are what they seem. A betrayal blindsides me and lives hang in the balance as my magics cry out for me to destroy it all.

La tensión entre Oro y Grim ha acabado desembocando en una guerra entre los reinos. Mientras tanto, Isla tendrá que luchar contra un corazón dividido en dos y enfrentarse al aterrador futuro que le mostró la profecía.

Das Drehbuch für einen großen Film zu schreiben, ist für Elle die Chance ihres Lebens. Das einzige Problem? Sie leidet seit Monaten an einer Schreibblockade, und die Deadline am Ende des Sommers rückt unaufhaltsam näher. Auf der Suche nach Inspiration zieht Elle für den Sommer zurück nach New York, wo der Film spielen wird. Dass ihr Nachbar ausgerechnet Parker Warren, der Tech-Milliardär ist, hat Elle nicht erwartet – und noch viel weniger, dass Parker sie bittet, über den Sommer sein Fake-Date zu spielen.

The nation as we know it is a thing of the past. With the male species on the verge of extinction, a society called the End Men is formed to save the world. Folsom Donahue is one of 12 men whose sole purpose is to repopulate the Regions. The endless days spent having sex with strangers leaves Folsom with an emptiness no amount of women, money, or status can fill. Until Gwen.

But with the uprising on the horizon and his best friend missing, Jackal is having a hard time living the same carefree existence. And then he meets a thief and everything changes. Phoenix Moyo, principal dancer of a notorious ballet company, lives a life of rigidity. When her world collides with Jackal’s, their chemistry is evident to everyone except her.

Desperate to save her coffeehouse from ruin, the last thing Leia Bellamy needs in her life is a man . . . especially when it's the same one who deserted her after their shotgun wedding when she was twenty years old. But eight years have passed, and the young ensign she loved is now a hardened warrior and Navy SEAL, Lieutenant Aidan MacDermott.

Isla Crown ha ganado el amor de dos poderosos gobernantes y ha roto las maldiciones que plagaron los seis reinos durante siglos, pero los verdaderos orígenes de sus poderes son desconocidos. Ahora, a raíz de una terrible traición, Isla a menudo se distrae con las seductoras atracciones de Lightlark en vez de cumplir con su deber como líder de sus reinos. Peor aún, los otros gobernantes no han aceptado su victoria, o no creen que se haya ganado su ascenso al poder.

Da TikTok alle vette più alte delle classifiche di tutto il mondo, "Lightlark" è il fantasy del momento. "Siete circondata da bugie e bugiardi, Isla Crown." Ogni cento anni, l'isola di Lightlark appare per ospitare il Centennale, una sfida mortale a cui sono invitati a partecipare sei sovrani di altrettanti regni - Natura, Stelle, Luna, Cielo, Sole e Ombre della Notte -, che hanno così la possibilità di spezzare le maledizioni che da secoli schiacciano i loro popoli, conquistando un potere senza eguali. Ma a un prezzo: uno di loro deve morire.

Twelve-year-old Tor Luna was born with a leadership emblem, just like his mother. But he hates his mark and is determined to choose a different path for himself. So, on the annual New Year's Eve celebration, where Emblemites throw their wishes into a bonfire in the hopes of having them granted, Tor wishes for a different power. The next morning Tor wakes up to discover a new marking on his skin...the symbol of a curse that has shortened his lifeline, giving him only a week before an untimely death.

Tor is adjusting to life with the power of the Night Witch, especially with his best friends, Engle and Melda, by his side. But when a mysterious girl washes up on shore claiming a band of cursed pirates is on their way to Emblem Island, life changes fast. The girl, Gemma, is from an underwater city that was destroyed by the terrible Calavera pirates, and she warns Tor they are now on their way to his home. The trio of friends must come up with a plan to stop the pirates from getting an ancient relic that would give them the ability to control the high seas.

I was raised to be Jadon Safrin’s enemy. My father was the king of Alidonia and wanted to rule all of the kingdoms, which meant trouble for Jadon when he became king of Farrow. When war threatened to break out between our countries and I met Jadon face-to-face, I realized I could become his greatest weakness. I could either do the right thing, or I could let him crash and burn, paving the way for my family to get their greatest wish. But I’d never met a man like Jadon, pure of heart and unparalleled bravery.

I never wanted to be a royal. I could leave that to my older brother and sister and be happy. I'd rather see the world, experience life with unjaded eyes, and meet people who liked me based on something other than their expectations. Gentry Barrington saw exactly who I was the first time we met, the real me. My title wasn't part of the equation.

In den ersten beiden Staffeln von Kohlrabenschwarz hat sich die SOKO um Polizeiseelsorger Stefan Schwab (Michael Kessler) zahlreichen mysteriösen Fälle gestellt, in denen uralte Märchen und Sagen auf erschreckende Weise Realität wurden. Nun steht das Team vor seiner größten Herausforderung: Der wahre Drahtzieher tritt endlich in Erscheinung und verfügt über eine unheimliche Fähigkeit, die ihn nahezu unbesiegbar macht. Doch bevor die Soko in den finalen Kampf zieht, müssen erst noch entführte Prinzessinnen gerettet, archaische Sagengestalten besiegt und die Geheimnisse unsterblicher Wesen ergründet werden.

Im beschaulichen Rosenheim will der Polizeiseelsorger Stefan Schwab (Michael Kessler) Ruhe und Abstand zum Job finden. Stattdessen zweifelt der Psychologe bald an seinem sonst so analytischen Verstand: Kinder verschwinden, sagenumwobene Gegenstände tauchen auf und uralte Ammenmärchen bekommen plötzlich eine blutige Brisanz. Bald zieht sich eine Spur an Gräueltaten durchs Voralpenland. Während die Polizei die offensichtlichen Zusammenhänge nach Kräften ignoriert, bekommt Schwab überraschend - und eher unfreiwillig - Unterstützung.

Auch mit der zweiten Staffel von "Kohlrabenschwarz" servieren Tommy Krappweis und Christian von Aster hochspannenden Heimat-Horror. Ihr Grimmiger Genremix aus Mystery, Thriller und feinstem Witz stellt den Polizeipsychologen Schwab (Michael Kessler) und sein Team (Bettina Zimmerman, Jürgen Tonkel, Bettina Lamprecht) auf eine besonders harte Probe. Neben allzu lebendigen Legenden hat es jemand direkt auf die Rosenheimer Ermittler abgesehen!
