Eekhout A: Mary / B

Mary

or, the Birth of Frankenstein

I tried to take his freedom.
Now he owns mine.

Aleksei Marinov is the Bratva's most ruthless killer.
Feared. Cold-blooded. Vicious.
Now-for better or worse-my husband.

I tried to put him behind bars.
He put a ring on my finger instead.

But it wasn't a choice.
I could either let my family suffer
or sell myself to the one man I hate.

This isn't love. It's revenge.
And Aleksei will stop at nothing to break me.

Possessive. Obsessive. Brutal.
He's everything I swore I'd never want,
but the only man who's ever made me feel safe.

He touches me like I'm sacred.
Looks at me like I'm already his.
And somewhere between hate and hunger,
I fall for the enemy.

Until I uncover the truth
and swear I'll never forgive him.

But when I'm taken, the man who claimed I meant nothing
tears the world apart to save me.

Aleksei

'A captivating story of love and adventure, thrumming with secrets' Lucy Steeds, author of The Artist 'Moves elegantly back and forwards in time, and across the world from Paris and London to the Antipodes . . . beautifully written' Sunday Times 'A compelling tale . . . blends historical fiction with high adventure and romance' Guardian 'Like a fine vintage of champagne, this novel is complex, layered, and delicious' Kate MacIntosh, author of The Champagne Letters Caroline examines a stolen map. And there she finds it, at the edge of the Western Hemisphere, a black mark at the 30th latitude smaller than a flea: Norfolk Island. Her Aunt thinks she's a fool for wanting to follow her father to the other side of the world. He is no longer the man who taught Caroline about philosophy, apothecary and dreamt of returning to the France of his childhood. He is a convicted murderer, mad, deported, condemned. But, when she understands that Caroline is determined, her Aunt has one piece of advice: she must leave her past behind and invent a new story. In 1839, Caroline lands in Van Dieman's Land, a young widow of means with a boy in her care. In this insular colony of exiles and opportunists, no-one talks too much about their past. Caroline leases a run-down cottage and abandoned vineyard and, on this island of extreme seasons and wild beauty, she embarks on a fearless enterprise to reclaim her father, create champagne, and rewrite her family's legacy. Travelling from Paris to Edinburgh, London, New York and to Tasmania, The Great Act of Love is an epic story of hope and self-invention.

A Great Act of Love

INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! A "traditional wife" influencer allows a demonic creature to impregnate her in this unnerving horror novel, perfect for fans of Nightbitch and Mary, from the author of Serial Killer Support Group. Every #tradwife needs a baby. She’ll get one at any cost. When Camille Deming isn’t cooking, cleaning, or homesteading in her picture-perfect country farmhouse, she’s posting about her tradwife lifestyle for her online followers. She takes inspiration from other tradwives on social media, aspiring to be like them, but Camille’s missing a key component: a baby. And contrary to what she posts online, things with her husband, Graham, have been strained. Pressured by her eager followers, Camille fears that without a baby, her relationship will suffer and her social media will never grow out of its infancy. When Camille discovers a mysterious, decrepit well in the wheatfield behind her house, she makes a wish for a baby. Afterward, she has unsettling experiences that she convinces herself are angelic in nature, and when she’s visited one night by a strange creature, her wish comes true.&nbsp; Camille’s pregnancy announcement gets more engagement than anything she’s ever posted—so what if Graham’s reaction is lukewarm? Camille’s life is finally falling into place. Never mind that her pregnancy is developing freakishly rapidly and she’s suddenly craving raw meat. Being a traditional wife is worth it. Rosemary’s Baby for the digital age, this disturbing horror novel is one you’ll want to devour in just one bite.

A Novel

Trad Wife

From the #1 New York Times bestselling master of international intrigue comes a shocking new stand-alone thriller that thrusts a group of university students, falsely accused of murder, into a treacherous hunt across Europe, all to unlock the secrets buried within a centuries-old book that could change humankind forever.Knowledge can be magic—until it falls into the wrong hands.The ritualistic murder of a British professor at the University of Exeter points to a startling cast of suspects: his own students. All are enrolled in a postgraduate program covering the history of witchcraft, folklore, and spiritualism.All evidence points to Sharyn Karr—an American student. Prior to the professor’s death, he had thrust a centuries-old book upon her. It appears to be the handwritten and encrypted diary of an eighteenth-century mystic and occultist, the Comte de Saint-Germain. The professor begged her to keep the text safe, ending with a warning: Trust no one. Such a responsibility forces her into cooperation with Duncan Maxwell, a fellow postgrad and the sixteenth in line to the British Crown. Already, Duncan has proven himself a savant with encryptions. Unfortunately, the pair clash at every level, but they both need one another. Especially when they discover the book’s opening words: Herein lies the secret to my immortality. Come find me, if you dare.As dark forces close upon the pair, she and her friends are forced to flee, pursued by law enforcement and hunted by a powerful cabal. In an explosive chase across Europe—from the Tower of London to Parisian chateaus to a fortress in the Italian Alps—Sharyn must learn the true secret hidden in Saint-Germain’s text. It will send her and the others across history and deep into the heart of one of the world’s greatest mysteries, a secret buried at the roots of Western Civilization, a discovery that could topple empires and change humanity forever.For what lies at the end of Saint-Germain’s diary is as shocking as its opening words.

Trust No One

Solomon Kane journeys back to England to save a woman accused of witchcraft and murder. Kane must find the true culprits while battling the town?s paranoia and superstition.

Solomon Kane: Suffer The Witch

An adoptive parent and historian delves into the differences of families made by law, not biology-- and shows us the deep value of those differences Adoption touches on some of our most vexing social questions, about race and sexuality, abortion rights, economic inequality, even foreign policy and global poverty. More than that, it prods us in tender places, reminding us of our own questions about belonging and separation, identity and alienation, our worries about what is determined by fate and what is freely choose. Blending personal memoir, history, and broader reflection on American culture, Ordinary Days and Tender Places offers a fresh take on adoption. As an historian and an adoptive parent, Bendroth takes seriously the criticisms and the personal pain many adoptees face, but she also invites readers to take a bigger view. This book asks us to turn the mirror on ourselves and consider the peculiarities of what we consider “normal” family life. In the end, our questions and controversies obscure a basic fact: raising children born to someone else is a time-honored human practice. In the past and in many cultures today, our modern American ideal, the two-parent biologically-related nuclear family, is an oddity. Within the long history of humanity our ideas about kinship and our beliefs about what constitutes a “normal” household are surprisingly narrow and, in the end, not all that helpful. Bendroth introduces readers to new ways of thinking about adoption, exploring the history of American families and children as well as fascinating findings by biologists and evolutionary anthropologists about kinship practices, genetics and inheritance, even motherhood itself. This is, in other words, a book about adoption and much more. It is an invitation to readers to reflect on their own lives, to think deeply about our human need to connect, to love, and belong.

Justice League: The New 52 Book Three

“‘But who are we, if we forget everything that came before?’ Roza wonders in&nbsp;The Jilted Countess. This moving story of one woman finding a new life and new love in the aftermath of WWII answers this question, in the process taking on themes of PTSD, communism, and the plight of being an immigrant in postwar America.”—Meg Waite Clayton, internationally bestselling author of&nbsp;Typewriter BeachIn the aftermath of World War II, a young Hungarian émigré jilted by a G.I. persuades a Midwestern newspaper editor to help her find an American husband in this poignant novel, based on a true story, from the author of The French Winemaker’s Daughter.The war stole Roza Meszaros’s dreams of becoming a ballerina and her aristocratic family’s fortune. But the penniless Hungarian countess’s fate takes a hopeful turn when she meets an American soldier named Joe, who promises to marry her and take her to the States. After two years of waiting to obtain the necessary money and paperwork to emigrate, Roza finally arrives in Minnesota—and discovers Joe has married someone else.Determined to stay in America, Roza turns to popular newspaper columnist Cedric Adams to help her find a suitable husband. Sharing Roza’s story and her picture, Adams makes a special plea to his military readers. The response is overwhelming—nearly 1,800 World War II veterans bombard the paper’s offices with telegrams, flowers, candy, and cash, “a world-record” for marriage proposals, Adams tells Roza.Like a 1948 version of The Bachelorette, Roza ultimately chooses Finn Erickson, a former soldier and railroad locomotive engineer. Putting aside her romantic ideals, she and her new husband settle into the small riverside town of Red Wing, Minnesota. But when Roza unexpectedly runs into her former fiancé, things quickly become complicated.A captivating and unusual tale of love, loss, finding yourself, and creating your destiny, The Jilted Countess examines the meaning of marriage, the American dream, and what it takes to face our demons while searching for happiness.&nbsp;

After all, nothing can stay hidden forever.

With a foreword written by award-winning crime author Reed Farrel Coleman, The Final Score is a propulsive, perceptive, and deeply immersive book of crime writing — the ultimate testament to Don Winslow's prowess as a living legend of the genre.

The Final Score

One honest answer changed everything.

Fresh out of medical school, a young doctor applies to the U.S. Army Medical Corps, expecting a safe posting and a chance to serve. On a routine form, he reveals he reads and speaks Russian. Within days, his life is changed forever.

Flagged by military intelligence, he is invited to have dinner with two men who vaguely share they are "with the Department of Defense." What begins as an interview becomes recruitment. What begins on land, races toward open water and pulls him into a covert Cold War operation no one can know exists.

From the shattered legacy of the Battle of Leningrad to the frozen dangers of the Bering Sea, the mission hurtles across borders and oceans, into enemy territory and the deepest shadows of the Iron Curtain. What begins as a rescue mission turns into a life and death pursuit where the doctor must rely on his medical training, his mastery of language, and his instincts to survive.

Fast-moving and packed with suspense, this high-stakes spy thriller delivers a clandestine adventure on the high seas where secrets kill, loyalty is lethal, and one man's knowledge could tip the balance of the Cold War.

PRAISE FOR THE SHATTERED CURTAIN: 
"A sweeping Cold War drama that transports readers from the tense corridors of Agency headquarters to a spy ship in the icy Bering Sea, through perilous encounters with the Soviet Navy, and deep behind the Iron Curtain. The author's command of aeronautical and nautical detail, combined with an insider's grasp of Russian language, espionage tactics, and CIA-KGB maneuvering, infuses the novel with authenticity. The result is a fast-paced, atmospheric thriller that blends action, history, and intrigue in equal measure."-Captain William Uberti, Captain USCG (Ret), Past Adjunct Professor of History, Central Texas College; Served aboard USCG Cutter, Decisive, participating in numerous hazardous weather rescues."Conroy spins a rip-roaring Cold-War yarn in the best tradition of Graham Greene and John le Carré. Set in the frigid waters between Alaska and Eastern Siberia, the novel tells a deeply human story while also capturing a tense game of cat and mouse between the CIA and KGB."¿Andrew Wachtel, Ph.D. World-renowned specialist in the culture and history of Russian, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia; acclaimed academic administrator, currently creating the pilot campus for Vision University, Almaty, Kazakhstan.
