New Jersey. 1914. Constance Kopp non è esattamente la tipica donna del suo tempo. È più alta di quasi tutti gli uomini che incontra, non è attratta dal matrimonio né dalle faccende domestiche, e vive isolata dal mondo da quindici anni - da quando, cioè, un segreto inconfessabile aveva spinto lei e le sue sorelle a lasciare la città per rintanarsi in una fattoria in campagna.

Manca un anno all'inizio del college, ma per Cecelia Horner il destino ha piani meno scontati. Suo padre, un industriale multimilionario e anaffettivo con cui non ha rapporti da tempo, le ha fatto un'offerta difficile da rifiutare: andare a lavorare per un periodo nella sua azienda con la prospettiva di mettere dei soldi da parte ed ereditare, prima o poi, il suo impero.

Ava era mille cose. Era una ragazza che adorava cantare. Era una ragazza con tanti amici. Ora è solo la ragazza con le cicatrici. È passato un anno dall'incendio in cui ha perso i genitori. Un anno in cui Ava ha tagliato i ponti con il mondo perché le fa troppa paura. Ora è costretta a tornare a scuola. Una scuola nuova dove non conosce nessuno. Una scuola che – ne è sicura – sarà piena di ragazzi che non faranno altro che osservare il suo viso per poi allontanarsi spaventati. Chi vorrebbe mai fare amicizia con lei? Quali nuovi modi di prenderla in giro si inventeranno i suoi compagni?

L'estate a Triple Falls è finita, e per Cecelia Horner quella che doveva essere solo una breve parentesi prima di riprendere in mano il suo destino si è rivelato il periodo più eccitante della sua vita. In pochi mesi ha imparato che nelle questioni di cuore le regole non esistono e non sempre è obbligatorio scegliere. Accantonato ogni senso di colpa, si è tuffata in un triangolo amoroso con Sean e il suo amico Dominic, che ha liberato le sue fantasie ed esaudito i desideri più inconfessabili, anche quelli che non sapeva di avere.

Nessuno sa chi sia Tobias King. Forse, nemmeno lui stesso. I conti in sospeso con un passato difficile e violento non hanno mai permesso al Francese di mostrarsi per ciò che è veramente. Il misterioso leader dei Ravenhood ha vissuto gran parte della vita nell'ombra, animato da un'unica ossessione: saziare la sua sete di vendetta. Ma ora che finalmente i tempi sono maturi per passare all'azione, a scompaginare i piani è arrivata Cecelia Horner. La ragazza ha rinunciato a tutto per lui, e se in un primo momento Tobias ha cercato di tenerla a distanza per proteggerla, adesso la pretende.

Beginnend mit den 1880er Jahren und in das 20. Jahrhundert hineinragend, stellte Holmes seinen Status als brillantester und erfolgreichster Detektiv der Welt immer wieder unter Beweis.

Nell'autunno del 1915, Constance Kopp, dopo aver scartato sdegnosa il mestiere di giardiniera e intagliatrice, per non parlare di quello di governante, si destreggia nel suo nuovo mondo: la prigione dello sceriffo Heath, ad Hackensack, in New Jersey. Il suo posto da vicesceriffa è in bilico, perché le ingessate leggi dello Stato ancora non prevedono che quella carica possa essere ricoperta da una donna. E così viene retrocessa a direttrice della sezione femminile, dove sorveglia le detenute o rincorre giovani ragazze in fuga sui treni.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets.⁣ Secrets that cost us everything to keep.⁣ That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to.⁣ Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

Once upon a time… there lived a man with a vengeance-filled heart that held too many secrets and a woman, pure of soul, intent on uncovering them. What they failed to realize is that through the storm their love would create, a legacy would be born.

Thirty years ago, my father became the other half of a broken love story. A relationship he’s kept hidden for decades. Upon unearthing his secret through a series of emails in our paper’s archives, I began my search for the truth. Haunted by my father’s love story, and in my quest for answers, I never imagined I would discover a love of my own. Or that my love for Easton Crowne would be key in discovering the reason behind what split our parents up.

It’s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me. It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here. I can still feel them all, my boys of summer. Even when I'd sensed the danger, I gave in. I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness and my love both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered. There was never going to be an escape. All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us are serving our own sentences.

Through the years, I lived more as an enigma than a man. For so long, I denied I had a beating heart of my own. Until her. Until she unearthed the starving vessel inside, forced me to acknowledge it, forced me to understand that I’m capable of bleeding the same as any other. For that, we paid. We're still paying. Yet she demands it still; the useless heart of the ruthless thief and shameless villain she fell for. My fear is that I’m no longer that man.

The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. I’d found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song?

Based on new research conducted across Europe and in the United States, The Celts reveals when and how we came to call much of Europe "Celtic," why this idea mattered in the past, and why it still matters today, as the tide of nationalism is once again on the rise.

The Ape That Understood the Universe is the story of the strangest animal in the world: the human animal. It opens with a question: How would an alien scientist view our species? What would it make of our sex differences, our sexual behavior, our child-rearing patterns, our moral codes, our religions, our languages, and science? The book tackles these issues by drawing on ideas from two major schools of thought: evolutionary psychology and cultural evolutionary theory.

Thanks to the power of its "mystic" Indian origins, yoga promises peace, self-realization, and release. But what if this is just hype? In Fascist Yoga, Stewart Home sweeps away the half-truths to reveal a new origin story of modern postural practice. Starting with the world's first modern yogi—a Californian escapologist who added Hindu fairy dust to circus exercises—this history reveals a community full of grifters, occultists, and white supremacists, out to exploit and recruit via the medium of exercise.
