Danica Pierce has one great love in her life: work. As one of the top divorce lawyers in Austin, Danica lets her caseload keep her warm at night and has no problem being married to her job, not when love only ends in hurt. When the biggest case of her career gives her a shot at making partner, it seems like nothing could possibly stand in her way…except for her infuriating secret: she’s sleeping with the enemy. Ezra Hart is known for charming his way in and out of a courtroom. In the matter of winning Danica Pierce’s heart, however, he’s been far less successful. With her verdict to keep things purely physical with no chance of appeal, Ezra struggles to show Danica he’s more than the insufferable playboy she’s pegged him to be—especially since they find themselves on opposing sides of Danica’s most important case to date. While Dani and Ezra battle it out in the courtroom, the real trial is the one happening between them. When Dani realizes that everything she knows of Ezra might be hearsay—and that she’s not the only one with emotional baggage—she must choose between her fear of trusting again and the feelings blossoming between her and the man she thought was her worst enemy.

Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting tale of magic and suspense.

Over the summer, she stopped texting him. She never stopped thinking about him.

Things are getting complicated: he's the boy she can't get off her mind, and the Walters have become the family she loves and needs. How can Jackie move forward when she's afraid of taking the next step?

Dos historias paralelas se desarrollan en escenarios de nombre evocador.- una transcurre en el llamado «fin del mundo», una misteriosa ciudad amurallada; la otra, en un Tokio de un futuro no muy lejano, un despiadado «país de las maravillas». En la primera, el protagonista se ve privado de su sombra, e impelido a leer sueños, entre extraños habitantes y unicornios cuyo pelaje se torna dorado en invierno. En la segunda historia, el narrador y protagonista es un informático que trabaja en una turbia institución gubernamental; sus servicios son requeridos por un inquietante científico que juguetea con la manipu­lación de la mente y vive en la red de alcantarillado, una red poblada por tenebrosas criaturas carnívoras.

Los mejores libros jamás escritos Una obra fundamental de la literatura mística Edición de Jorge García López, profesor de Filología Española en la Universitat de Girona Santa Teresa de Jesús, también conocida como Teresa de Ávila, es, junto con san Juan de la Cruz, el gran nombre de la mística española. El Libro de la vida es el primero de sus escritos no líricos y ya en él se hallan los temas más recurrentes de su obra. Se trata de una obra temprana y fresca, que combina la autobiografía con la enseñanza religiosa y el relato con la doctrina. De este modo, mientras que los primeros diez capítulos son meramente biográficos, casi confesionales, lo cual supuso una novedad totalmente rupturista en el ámbito de las letras, los siguientes capítulos constituyen un bello tratado acerca de la oración. Hacia el final de la obra, la carmelita retoma la narración más cotidiana y relata la fundación del convento de San José de Ávila. La sencilla y sincera prosa de santa Teresa de Jesús otorga al Libro de la vida no solo un valor religioso, sino sobre todo literario.
