Vivimos en la era de las teorías de la conspiración, propagadas cada vez más por políticos y redes sociales, que inventan un enemigo invisible para explicar nuestras desgracias. El conspiracionismo reencanta el mundo, aunque sea para poblarlo de demonios, y funciona como calmante frente al caos.
Esta comedia frívola para gente seria, o, como tambien la describe Oscar Wilde, "una farsa admirable para el estilo, pero fatal para la escritura", es quizá la obra más conocida y representada del genial autor irlandes. En ella, Wilde se consagra al ingenio del lenguaje y hace del estilo, la cháchara y el sinsentido el núcleo de la pieza. Comedia de enredos que lanza sus dardos al matrimonio, la religión o aquello que nos hace respetables, narra la historia de dos hombres, Jack y Algernon, que emplearán toda clase de engaños para añadir emoción a sus vidas.
He wants revenge, but he wants her more…
James has always had one agenda: destroy his enemy, Peter Michaels. When Peter's twenty-year-old daughter Wendy shows up in James's bar, he sees his way in. Seduce the girl and use her for his revenge. It's the perfect plan, until things in James's organization begin to crumble. Suddenly, he has to find the traitor in his midst, and his plan for revenge gets murkier as James starts to see Wendy as more than just a pawn in his game.
Wendy has been cloistered away most of her life by her wealthy cold father, but a spontaneous night out with friends turns into an intense and addictive love affair with the dark and brooding James. As much as she knows James is dangerous, Wendy can't seem to shake her desire for him. But as their relationship grows more heated and she learns more about the world he moves in, she finds herself unsure if she's falling for the man known as James or the monster known as Hook.

He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen…and the most dangerous. Eternally young and full of a brilliant passion that may ultimately be the end of me: my perfect Dorian Gray.
The painting that's kept Dorian Gray flawless for over a century is beginning to fall apart, rotted by his life of reckless decadence. Desperate, he seeks out the only person who might be able to save him: a talented young painter descended from Dorian's first love.
Baz may have the same magical gift as her ancestor, but she's vowed never to paint anyone's likeness again. Haunted by the memory of the terrible price her talent can exact, she swears she will not be swayed—not even by the seductive words dripping like venom from the lips of the most beautiful man she's ever met.
Yet as Dorian tries to persuade Baz by any means possible, they become aware of a darker, deadlier magic awakening around them. Dangerous forces, long dormant, have been stirred by Baz's presence…and are determined to have her no matter the cost. As tensions rise and desire flares ever-hotter, Baz and Dorian become trapped in a complex web of conflicting motives, messy emotions, and a growing, desperate passion that may well consume them both.
