Someone Wanton His Way Comes (Wantons of Waverton Book 1) by Christi Caldwell

 

 

Christi Caldwell, USA Today bestselling author of the Wicked Wallflowers series, invites you to join London’s most scandalous society in a witty romance of love, rebellion, and second chances.

Widowed Lady Sylvia Elton is out to save young ladies from the terrible fate of love and marriage. Her former husband has retained his reputation as an honorable and loving man in death, but Sylvia has privately mourned his lies and infidelity. Joined by two equally scorned and cast-off friends, Sylvia establishes the Mismatch Society. With each new liberated member, the scandalous circle wreaks havoc on the romantic prospects of London’s frustrated male peerage. But nothing prepares Sylvia for the Viscount St. John, a familiar face and her most formidable challenger.

Clayton Kearsley, the Viscount St. John, can’t allow these wantons to dismantle the Marriage Mart. Until he discovers the ringleader is his old friend’s widow, a fine woman for whom he’s carried a torch since the day they met. Thinking himself undeserving of a diamond like her, he introduced her to his best friend—a decision he now regrets deeply, knowing of the hurt she carries in secret.

Now he is positioned to match wits with this woman, who is determined to save young ladies from future heartbreak. And despite his misgivings, Clayton is entertaining fantasies that he could end their battle with a kiss. If only he had the courage to tell her how he feels—or the hope that she’d ever again let down her guard.

This meeting of the Mismatch Society is called to order…

Black as Knight (Kenard Chronicles Book 1) by Moriah Jovan

 

 

Newly made English earl Grimme Kyneward must take a noblewoman to wife to keep his lands and his life, but even if he knew how to woo a woman, he doesn’t have time to do it properly. What does a knight do when he has no prospects for a bride, but needs to get one as quickly as possible? He snatches her, of course.

Never mind that Lady Brìghde Fàileach is the wrong bride; she has her own reasons for wanting to marry the first earl who plucks her out of her wedding just before she’s forced to say “I do.” That the earl has a deep and abiding aversion to brunettes is convenient for her, and the fact that he is also in need of a castellain to run his chaotic household is even better.

She is fully aware that a man in need of a noble wife will also be in need of legitimate heirs, but she readily agrees to it, freeing her from her father and fiancé forever, and giving her power to rule his household, which includes all his mistresses and bastard sons.

Grimme has no desire to bed Brìghde, but he must have a legitimate heir. Brìghde has no need to bed Grimme, but she’s absolutely certain she’ll enjoy the experience. And on the journey from her wedding to his lands, Grimme and Brìghde forge a friendship he is certain will last forever …

… but for his ravenous liege who covets everything Grimme loves and will kill to get it.

This is Book 1 in the Kenard Chronicles.

Il bambino intermittente: 1 di Luca Ragagnin (Miraggi)

 

 

Il piccolo Berg vive in una città del Nord con la madre professoressa. Ha molti nomi inventati e da un certo punto in avanti anche una sorella - vera o immaginaria? Ha un padre con un maggiolino giallo a pois rosa che gli insegna i nomi degli alberi e dei funghi. Ha dei nonni di città che gli insegnano l’uso filosofico degli Agnolotti e la contemplazione del meccanismo ha dei nonni di mare che lo accompagnano nella crescita, da una cucina con finestra sul mare e da uno sga- buzzino magico. Berg cresce rimodellando la realtà, in un travaso continuo di immaginazione, e in tal modo at tra- versa l’infanzia, adolescenza e l’età adulta. Da bambino, conosce Man mano il pericolo me- metafisica degli oggetti, inesorabile dei pensieri altrui, gli anni di piombo; da ragazzo - stupito e incredulo - l’amore e il risveglio di un'intera città industriale; da adulto la forza e abbandona, l’affollamento muto e una solitudine che continua a sfrigolare con le sue decine di voci interiori.
