Encantador, peligroso y lo suficientemente inteligente como para ocultarlo, a Christian Harper le resulta poco útil la moral y aún menos el amor, pero no puede negar la extraña atracción que siente hacia la mujer que vive justo un piso debajo de él. Ella es el objeto de sus deseos más oscuros, el único rompecabezas que no puede resolver. Y cuando surge la oportunidad de acercarse a ella, rompe sus propias reglas para ofrecerle un trato imposible de rechazar. Todos tenemos un punto débil. Ella es el suyo.
Su obsesión.
Su adicción.
Su única excepción.
Dulce, tímida e introvertida a pesar de su fama en las redes sociales, Stella Alonso es una romántica que mantiene su corazón a buen recaudo. Entre sus dos trabajos, tiene poco tiempo y ninguna gana de iniciar una relación. Pero cuando una amenaza de su pasado la lleva a los brazos (y a la casa) del hombre más peligroso que jamás haya conocido, caerá en la tentación de permitirse sentir algo por primera vez en mucho tiempo. Porque, a pesar de la naturaleza fría de Christian, él la hace sentir completa cuando están juntos.
Apasionada.
Protegida.
Anhelada.
El suyo es un amor amenazado por mentiras y secretos... y cuando las verdades por fin salgan a la luz, podrían destrozarlo todo.
A Farewell to Arms is one of Ernest Hemingway’s most popular books, a masterpiece that is not only among the greatest novels to come out of World War I but also one of the most profoundly moving in the American canon. Based on Hemingway’s own experience volunteering with the Red Cross in Italy during World War I, and written when he was only thirty, it tells the story of Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver, and Catherine Barkley, an English nurse. For Frederic, Catherine’s kindness and beauty shore him up against the carnage of battle; for Catherine, Frederic’s strength and devotion are a lifeboat in the sea of grief over her first love. Through injury, surgery, and the psychic fallout of war, they maintain an overwhelming desire to be together, even as forces conspire to keep them apart. Hemingway captures the intensity of both love and war with the taut immediacy and spare, understated eloquence that are his hallmarks, reminding us why this novel—his first bestseller—endures as a favorite, and why the Nobel laureate ranks among our most treasured writers.

Tuscany’s historical residences tell stories that no mere guidebook can capture. The houses that dot the landscape—from the stately Medici villas to the more humble yet charming farmhouses—are not just structures but also symbols of a way of life, a lasting testament to the fusion of an agrarian lifestyle, picturesque towns, notable architecture, fine craft, and art.
In the book’s foreword, Cabana founder Mondadori writes, “Tuscany is not merely a region; it is a living canvas, a dreamscape that has cradled the imagination of artists, poets, and thinkers for centuries.” The interiors presented in this book are a celebration of the talents of the diverse contemporary homeowners, who are keeping the region’s creative spirit alive. Houses brim with the output of skilled craftsmen, exquisite tapestries, brocades and damasks, objects arranged as if painterly still lifes, fantastical murals, rare books, furniture from a range of periods, and fine porcelain.
