NOVEDADES

Hace un año, Amelie lo tenía todo: un novio de toda la vida, su mejor amiga de la infancia y un trabajo en el restaurante de su padre. Su vida era perfecta. Hasta que Ian se sentó junto a ella en una boda y le demostró que quizá podría apetecerle algo fuera de la carta. Hoy, Amelie está soltera y sin trabajo, y se ha tomado un respiro de su mejor amiga. Por si fuera poco, ha perdido todo contacto con Ian. Cuando visita la ciudad de este para dar una conferencia sobre cocina, espera un gran encuentro romántico y trascendental. Sin embargo, todo vuela por los aires al descubrir que Ian es hijo del rival de su padre. ¿Puede haber un fiasco aún mayor? Él solo quiere que sean amigos. Amelie tiene una semana para hacerle cambiar de opinión y demostrarle que, pese a todo, ella es la persona indicada con la que compartir su menú de boda.

A servant girl escapes from a settlement. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her.

A commander who bled to defend her people, Ahnna is haunted by two beliefs: The first is that she failed to protect Ithicana from invasion. And the second is that saving her homeland means leaving it behind forever. The Maridrinians left Ithicana in ruins and its people impoverished. So when the wealthy kingdom of Harendell claims Ahnna as a bride for its crown prince, she is prepared to do whatever it takes to gain influence as the future queen—and to control the gold that comes with the throne. Yet Ahnna swiftly discovers that beneath the beautiful surface of Harendell’s court is a dark underbelly of schemes, duplicity, and the pursuit of power. The only individual who holds himself above the politics is not her future husband but his infuriating half brother, James. And as she begins to question whether Harendell is the ally it claims to be, Ahnna finds herself drawn into a forbidden attraction to the wrong prince. As deadly plots tighten around her, Ahnna must decide whether saving her people will be achieved as a bride . . . or as a blade.

A queen now in exile as a traitor, Lara has watched as Ithicana is conquered by her own father, helpless to do anything to stop the destruction. But when she learns her husband, Aren, has been captured in battle, Lara knows there is only one reason her father is keeping him alive: as bait for his traitorous daughter. And it is bait she fully intends to take. Risking her life on the Tempest Seas, Lara returns to Ithicana with a plan not only to free its king but to liberate the Bridge Kingdom from her father’s clutches, using his own weapons: the sisters whose lives she spared. Yet not only is the palace inescapable, there are more players in the game than Lara ever realized: enemies and allies switching sides in the fight for crowns, kingdoms, and bridges. But her greatest adversary of all might be the man she’s trying to free—the husband she betrayed. With everything she loves in jeopardy, Lara must decide who—and what—she is fighting for: her kingdom, her husband, or herself.
