For fans of Romantic Comedy and Notting Hill (so, everyone?!), a second-chance celebrity/normal person romance you’ll read in one sitting.

Schwartz L: Set Piece

An 831 Stories Romance

A conflicted villain and his unstoppable bride form the realm’s most chaotic alliance in this riotously funny dark romantasy perfect for fans of Assistant to the Villain, but darker and spicier. “What’s mine stays mine.” Step One: Kidnap someone cute. Step Two: Force her into marriage. Step Three: Try not to catch feelings. When Dark Lord Kazimir Blackrose kidnaps Lady Arabella for a forced marriage, he expects an obedient, trembling bride. What he gets is a knife to the throat and a furious woman with demands of her own. He may need her heroic bloodline to achieve ultimate dominion, but she’s not about to make this easy for him. Arabella has already survived her father’s tower prison and a lifetime of being treated like property. Getting abducted by the realm’s most notorious villain is just another Tuesday. If she must be married to the infuriating (and infuriatingly attractive) Dark Lord, she’ll do it on her terms: freedom within his fortress, hands strictly to himself, and complete honesty about his plans. But when those plans go awry, Kazimir faces his most terrifying challenge yet: he must date his own wife. Between magical training sessions, playing golf with the eyeballs of his enemies, and aphrodisiac dinners gone spectacularly wrong, his attempts at villainous seduction are failing at every turn. As Kazimir and Arabella navigate magical explosions and jealous exes, they discover a far more terrifying prospect than war or magical catastrophe: They might actually be falling for each other. This dark and sexy fantasy romance is perfect for readers who love: a morally gray antihero (who stays that way); a strong heroine who embraces her dark side (she doesn’t need rescuing, thanks); the touch her and die trope; hilarious, wicked banter and sizzling spice; one bed/forced proximity; kidnapped bride/forced marriage; and dark humor.

The Dark Lord's Guide to Dating (and Other War Crimes)

'Die actiongeladene Nacherzählung einer alten chinesischen Legende, klug, spannend - und wie geschaffen für unsere verrückten Zeiten.' Kirstin Chen
 Ein funkelnder, düster-komischer Roman über zwei Schwestern - eine aus New York, eine aus Singapur -, die ein jahrhundertealtes Geheimnis teilen. 

 Su führt ein behütetes, wohlhabendes Leben als perfekte Ehefrau eines konservativen Politikers in Singapur. Ihre Schwester Emerald dagegen lebt in New York als lebenslustiges Sugarbaby, folgt jeder Laune und verlässt sich auf ihren Charme, um über die Runden zu kommen. Doch die beiden ungleichen Frauen verbindet ein Geheimnis: Einst waren sie Schlangen, die sich im China der Tang-Dynastie unter dem Vollmond wanden.
 

 Tausend Jahre später ist diese geteilte Vergangenheit das Einzige, was sie noch verbindet. Als Emerald in New York in eine gewaltsame Auseinandersetzung gerät, fliegt Su zu ihr - und langsam nähern sich die Schwestern wieder an. Su überredet Emerald, nach Singapur zu ziehen, um sie im Blick zu behalten. Doch Emeralds ungezähmtes Wesen droht bald, sie beide zu enttarnen. Und in Singapur, wo alles wie am Schnürchen läuft und jede Abweichung verdächtig ist, wäre das brandgefährlich.
 

 Scharfsinnig, witzig und voller Emotionen erzählt 'Sister Snake' von sexueller Selbstbestimmung, gesellschaftlichen Zwängen und den vielen Formen von Familie - eine literarische Reise von der Tang-Dynastie bis in die Gegenwart, von wilden Orchideen zu Designerbrands, von schneller Liebe zu selbstgewählten Beziehungen.
 Eine radikal moderne Neuinterpretation der 'Legende von der weißen Schlange' - und eine schillernde Meditation darüber, was es bedeutet, wirklich frei zu leben.

Roman

Sister Snake

Mathilde ist jung, schön, voller Träume - und entschlossen, in den sechziger Jahren ein anderes Leben zu führen. Zusammen mit vier Studenten gründet sie in Hamburg eine WG, in der Besitz, Treue und Familie abgeschafft gehören. Freie Liebe, Kunst und Revolution sollen das alte Denken vertreiben. 1967 wird Johanna geboren - das "Gemeinschaftskind" einer Generation, die glaubte, die Welt neu zu erfinden.
Fünfzig Jahre später fragt sich Johanna, was von all den Idealen geblieben ist. Sie sieht ihre Mutter altern, die Männer verschwinden, die Träume verfliegen - und spürt, wie schwer es ist, das eigene Leben zu begreifen.
Carin Abicht erzählt mit Witz, Zärtlichkeit und präziser Ironie vom Glanz und Scheitern einer Zeit, in der alles möglich schien - und von den Töchtern, die mit den Träumen ihrer Eltern weiterleben müssen.

Ich bin ein Glanz

Ein virtuoser Ritt durch die Geschichte und die Genres - ein grandioses Epos. Jetzt endlich wieder erhältlich.

Die Meckels gelten als 'die Bachs der Medizingeschichte'. Johann Friedrich Meckel der Jüngere (1781 bis 1833), ein Vorreiter von Charles Darwin, ist die Hauptfigur dieses Romans, der von seinem Halbbruder Albrecht August erzählt wird. Beide sind Anatomen und dem ebenfalls detailversessenen Dichtergenie Jean Paul verbunden. 1813 nehmen sie an den Befreiungskriegen teil und sind in eine Mordintrige verwickelt, wegen der sie 1814 nach Neapel entweichen und dort vieler Rätsel Lösung näherkommen.
Albrecht trifft in diesem Roman Lützow und sein Freikorps, den Turnvater Jahn, Theodor Körner, aber auch seine Schicksalsliebe, die 'Potsdamer Jeanne d`Arc' Eleonore Prochaska. Es treten weiter auf: E. T. A. Hoffmann und Fouqué, der Maler Ingres, der 'Einstein des 19. Jahrhunderts' Georges Cuvier, Joachim Murat, König, Reitermarschall und Schwager Napoleons - und nicht zuletzt Napoleon selbst. Treuer Begleiter des Erzählers ist sein versoffener russischer Gaul Jean Paul.
Grandiose Pläne und die skurrilen Misslichkeiten großer Tatkraft in wirren Zeiten verknäulen sich auf ebenso tragische wie komische Weisen. Virtuos und voller Schalk mischt Wilhelm Bartsch auch Zutaten aus Kriminalgroteske und Gothic Novel, aus Liebes-, Heimat- und Kriegsroman zu einem grandiosen Epos.

Meckels Messerzüge

35 Jahre DDR treffen auf 35 Jahre "Westen": Mit 112 DM, einem Leitzordner und großen Erwartungen startet Bollfeger 1987 ins Abenteuer jenseits des Eisernen Vorhangs - und muss viele Vorurteile überraschend korrigieren.

Eine deutsch-deutsche Fluchtkoffervisite

Johannes Bollfeger nimmt sich das Leben (und noch ein bisschen mehr)

"An astonishing debut as mesmerizing as it is unnerving." --Joyce Carol Oates A day-in-the-life debut novel about a fading socialite on the hunt for someone to kill her before her next SoulCycle class. "A tale of suspense, a statement, a cry for help, and a delicious tour-de-force." --Nell Zink New York City, 2014. Agnes Maurer seeks a willing murderer and wonders what she should wear. Candidates include: an icy magazine editor with a special cutlery set; an eccentric designer from her past; and Agnes's cruel novelist boyfriend. As she Ubers from Upper East Side shopping to Craigslist gun deals, Agnes' desperation becomes an exhibition, a swan song of millennial sexuality as internalized abuse and consummate style, with the knob righty-tightened all the way. Newton's prose is disturbingly fun, relentless, shattering. A crafted study of existential despair that culminates in a worthy, intense denouement.

Agnes Lives!

"A magnificent debut" (Laila Lalami) that explores loneliness and community, religion and repression, and the pleasure and pain of womanhood. Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2026 by Debutiful, Lit Hub, Chicago Review of Books, and Autostraddle By turns tender and irreverent, the 11 genre-bending stories in Please Don't Touch the Body are thrillingly concerned with the devastation-and power-of being alive today. In the collection's first story, a Japanese woman finds healing in a secret life as a sex advice columnist after being fetishized by her white husband for decades. In the fourth story, Ronald Reagan is reincarnated as a puppy and must cope with being squeezed, dropped, and controlled by his young, queer owner. And in "Thank You No Thank You," a young woman grapples with the rules she learned in her religious childhood, the freedoms of her new and more liberal life, and her actual desires as she vacations with her long-term boyfriend. Together these inventive, emotionally rich stories reveal an incredible new vision and "a writer to watch" (Rita Chang-Eppig).

Money to Burn

From USA TODAY bestselling author Chloe Liese, a clever and heartwarming rom-com that is perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Annabel Monaghan about two best friends who must fake a relationship for their exes. Thea and Alex have three things in common—they love food, they hate where they live, and they’re both divorced. Otherwise, they couldn’t be more different. Thea’s never cooked a day in her life. Alex is a world-class chef. Alex resents feeling stuck in his hometown. Thea resents the town for not feeling more like home. Thea and her ex are in a contentious custody battle for their dog. Alex and his ex amicably coparent their daughter. Beyond a few friends in common, a couple small-world connections (welcome to life in a mid-size city), their lives look nothing alike. Fast forward two years, and they’re truly the best of friends. No one would ever know their friendship began as a lie… Two years ago, their exes got together immediately following their divorces, and somehow, Thea and Alex found themselves spinning a spite-fueled story about being old friends and first loves. Two years later, what began as a ruse has grown into real friendship—just friendship, despite what friends and family seem to think. But when their exes invite them on a two-week, “two family” beach vacation—daughter and dog included—Alex and Thea start to wonder if this story they’ve spun might have gotten away from them, and if it’s led them to the last place they ever thought it could: a happy ending.

Maybe If I Changed The Font?

After years spent outrunning her past, Cecília reexamines the case of a close family friend killed by a colleague and rival: her father. In 1988, shortly after Brazil reestablishes democratic rule, a state congressman is shot and killed in Porto Alegre. The main suspect: a close friend and colleague in congress, Representative Raul Matzenbacher. Many years later, Cecília Matzenbacher, his daughter, migrates from Southern Brazil to California, where she finds work as a taxidermist. Her temperament is ideally suited to this type of restoration and the careful reconstruction of a world frozen in time. But as Cecília confronts her own history and the memories of the investigation surrounding her father, her knack for composition frays. When news arrives that Raul has suffered a stroke and Cecília's chances to see him again may be limited, her past can no longer stay put, posed like a specimen behind glass. Her story emerges, the past stalking her present, threatening to derail the life she's made for herself in the United States. In sleek, arresting prose imbued with the suspense-filled edge of a true-crime thriller, Diorama cements Carol Bensimon's status as one of the most dynamic voices in contemporary Brazilian literature and demonstrates her narrative gifts at their apex. Fusing police procedural, coming-of-age story, and family drama, Diorama is a moving mystery about what and how we remember, a novel that endangers our notions of what is or isn't still alive inside all of us.

Diorama

The latest novel from the winner of the 2021 European Union Prize for Literature.

Teddý lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. It's 1962, and the world is changing, although you wouldn't know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young woman's existence. But after two chance encounters, Teddý's dreams of a world beyond begin to crystallise, albeit in strange and unexpected ways, as we follow one woman's life over five decades, from farm to city to the skies. Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy, sticky world of 1970s air travel, via check fraud, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts, Boudoir is a novel about reinvention, dislocation, and the forceful gravity of the lives and selves we think we've left behind.
