Ella Laye:THE ORPHAN SKY

Leila Komünist Partisi'nin iyi bir kızıdır. O sadakatle KGB'ye hizmet vermektedir ve bir piyano dahisi olarak Azerbaycan'ın ulusal devlet hazinesi olma yolundadır.  Ama sonra bir gün onun komünist akıl hocası onu  bir hain olduğundan şüphelenilen bir genç ressam ve müzik dükkanı sahibi Tahir'i gizlice izlemesini emreder.


Tahir, Komünizmin üstünü kaplayan tabakayı kaldırıp, Leila'ya onun ikiyüzlülüğünü ve yolsuzluk larını gösterirken, Leila'ya müzik ve sanat dünyasının kapılarını açıyor. Laila, Batı'ya ve Tahir'e karşı aşık olmaya başlarken, yoldaşları ise  ilişkilerini ortaya çıkarıp, onu imkansız bir seçim yapmaya zorlarlar.

1970'lerin sonlarında Komünizmin kırmızı bayrağı altında, Türkiye, İran, ve Rus kültürlerinin kavşak noktasında yer alan ORPHAN SKY şiirsel dünyada kendi yerini bulmak için bir kadının mücadelesini ortaya koymaktadır.

Entertainment Weekly, February 6, 2015: SCAN ATTACHED!
“Using a sneak peek at his new graphic novel, The Sculptor, the legend [Scott McCloud] deconstructs one of the most overlooked and underappreciated art forms in comics: the speech bubble.”

After his untimely—and quite un-heroic—death, seventeen-year-old Mitchell Johnson is slaving away in the business district of Hell where he discovers a fabled time-travelling device he can’t ignore. But stealing the timepiece so he can prevent his own death has some unexpected consequences that place his new friends in danger. Each of the teens has a secret motive for returning to their times of death, but one of them has caught the attention of the feared Skin Walkers—the wolfish creatures that track evil on Earth and drag them into the bowels of the underworld to be tortured for all eternity. But which of Mitchell’s friends is their target?

After 40 years, Melissa "Medusa" Pallister is about to come face-to-face with the devils she saw outside her house the day her stepfather Rory died. But before the group can even begin to repair the holes in their memories, they are sent back to the land of the living to retrieve the Devil's Dreamcatcher—stolen by the same man who still haunts Medusa's dreams. A team of angels is dispatched to find the Dreamcatcher as well and the two teams unite in their search to locate Rory before the Dreamcatcher can be used as a weapon against one of the immortal realms. Resigned to act as bait, Medusa is tasked with shepherding the group through her short life while avoiding the vengeful Skinwalkers, learning to focus their own rage, and trying to get along. But the Dreamcatcher is definitely not what it seems, and their mission changes when they learn the consequences of coming back empty-handed.

Sixteen-year-old Eva has never been in love. But when she meets Will, everything changes. With him, her grief over her father's death fades, and she can escape from her difficult relationship with her mother. Then, without any warning, Will picks up and moves to California. So Eva—with the help of her best friend, Annie—concocts a plan to travel across the country to see him again. As they leave New York City for the first time and road-trip across America, they encounter cowboys, kudzu, and tiny towns without stoplights. Along the way, Eva and Annie learn the truth about love and all its complexities.

Love is really what this remarkable story is all about. Wise, inspiring, and ultimately uplifting—not to be missed.”—Kirkus, Starred review

A wonderful novel about friendship, love, travel, life, hope, poetry, intelligence and the inner lives of girls — all the things, to put it simply, that I like best in a book.

I loved it.”—#1 New York Times-bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert

—E. Lockhart, New York Times-bestselling author of We Were Liars

Gottie H. Oppenheimer is a lot of things: seventeen. Great at maths. Tall. Motherless. And the kind of girl who thinks you can decipher people from a list of facts. 
And she’s losing time. Literally. The fabric of the universe surrounding her sleepy seaside town is beginning to fray, sending Gottie through wormholes to her past. To last summer, when her grandfather Grey died – and she lost her virginity to a boy who wouldn’t even hold her hand at the funeral.
Perhaps it’s insomnia. Perhaps it’s quantum physics. Or perhaps it’s something to do with Thomas Althorpe. Gottie hasn’t seen her former best friend since she was ten – the day he moved to Canada, leaving her behind with a scar on her hand and a black hole in her memory. But now he's back…
Over a summer of world-stopping kisses and rips in the space-time continuum, Gottie learns that to stop being afraid of the future, you’ve got to let go of the past.
THE SQUARE ROOT OF SUMMER will appeal to fans of THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE and BEFORE I FALL - YA contemporary with a twist.

Aspiring Member of Parliament, Simon Belleville knows he should take the pretty prostitute directly to Newgate Gaol. But one glimpse of Christine Tremayne’s lovely, tear splashed face finds him faltering. Staring into her pleading amber eyes, he cannot subdue the sense that she is not at all what she seems. Though her expectations are limited by birth and circumstance, she demonstrates a keen mind and a love of books and learning. Hoping to help her as once he was helped, he assumes the role of her guardian—and tutor. As the heat in their private lessons progresses from a fledgling spark to full flame, Simon allows he has never before been so intrigued—or so tempted.

When Robert Bellamy signed on with the East India Company and set sail for Calcutta,  Lady Phoebe Tremont took his promise to heart. Their separation would be but brief; in  six months he would send for her.
Six years later, believing her love to be drowned at sea, Phoebe hides her tears behind a  disguise at a masked ball to celebrate her engagement to a dashing French aristocrat. It is  there she encounters a handsome guest costumed as a rogue of the sea—a pirate. When  he drops his mask, she finds herself looking into a dead man’s eyes. A ghost’s eyes.  Robert’s eyes.
Through hardship and degradation, Robert never lost his resolve to return home to  England a rich man. Now a successful ship’s captain, there is one prize left to reclaim— Phoebe.
But the demure debutante he left behind has grown into a dazzling, decidedly self- determined woman. Nor is Robert the callow youth who set sail in search of adventure.  Yet the one thing that could win her heart is the very dark truth his pride warns him never to reveal…

"Sexy and smart, intriguing and compelling, Hope Tarr’s books always keep me up late turning the pages."Anna Campbell, author of What a Duke Dares

A few hours ago, Sherry Carne would have sworn that vampires didn’t exist. That’s before rogue immortals rampage through her store, leaving bloody chaos (literally) in their wake. The kicker comes when Sherry learns that one of the vamps on the bad guys’ trail may be her life mate. Her head says it’s impossible. The rest of her takes one look at Basileios Argeneau and has much more interesting ideas.
Whatever Basil expected in a life mate, funny, outspoken Sherry isn’t it. But mind-blowing chemistry and instinct don’t lie. They tell him something else, too—that Sherry’s connection to the immortal world goes deeper than she knows. And that she’s in the kind of danger only Basil can save her from—if she’ll just trust him, now and forever . . .

Sands continues her Argeneau series with Basil's story and maintains the levels of suspense, heat and humor she's known for. Basil and Sherry's relationship moves beyond the sexual, and the physical and emotional dangers they have to confront create a strong, endearing bond. Intense sensuality, captivating romance.” —Kirkus Reviews

With her trademark attention to detail, Sands immerses readers in the love lives of the Immortals…Humor and delightful character interactions between both familiar and new faces more than balance a slightly formulaic plot, resulting in a rich, satisfying read for both series veterans and newcomers.” —Publishers Weekly

Avelyn is the pride of her parents—lovely, intelligent, sweet tempered, skilled in all pursuits expected of a great lady in eleventh-century England. Unfortunately, her nasty cousins have taunted her so unceasingly for so many years that she feels ugly, fat, and undesirable. A series of humiliating incidents have also convinced her new husband Paen de Gerville that she is not only frail but accident-prone, and the comical misunderstandings that result lead to more unhappiness for Avelyn. But soon her natural optimism overcomes her feelings of inadequacy, allowing her to take control and succeed as chatelaine of Rumsfeld in spite of the mishaps that continue to plague her.

“Sands has cleverly woven a suspenseful subplot into this medieval coming-of-age romance, and her characters—including two sets of overanxious but loving parents, a clumsy squire-in-training, and a pet piglet—delight, while her trademark humor and vivid settings enthrall the reader.”Booklist

Clarissa Crambray wanted a husband, but maybe not as much as her mother wanted one for her.  Doffing her spectacles might make her prettier, but blind as a bat, she causes enough mayhem to earn a rather horrible nickname and scare away her suitors.  But Clumsby Clarissa just might stumble onto true love with a dark, handsome blur of a man: Adrian Montfort, the Earl of Mowbray, who has shunned society since his return from the Napoleonic Wars disfigured by scars.

How this perfectly matched pair manage to get around her ruthless stepmother, another suitor and a killer is what takes this Regency-set historical to another level of love and laughter, madness and mayhem and into the realm of a sexy, irrepressible and utterly memorable story to cherish. Sands writes with humor and poignancy to our delight.”RT Book Reviews

They call him the Devil.  He is the most notorious laird of Scotland: fierce, cold, deadly, and maybe even worse. Yet Evelinde has just agreed to wed him. Anything, she thinks, is better than her cruel stepmother. Though Evelinde should be wary of the rumors, she can't help but be drawn to this warrior.  They may call him whatever they wish, but Cullen, Laird of Donnachaidh, cares only for the future of his clan. He must find a wife, a woman to bear him sons and heed his commands. He has no need for beauty or grace, but one taste of his lovely bride's sweet lips and the sultry feel of her skin arouse an untamed passion. Perhaps there's more to marriage than he thought.

Until the real earl appears.  Richard Fairgrave had every intention of confronting his villainous twin who robbed him of his name and title...only to discover that he'd died.  Quietly assuming his identity, Richard must now deal with a maddening desire for his ravishing inherited "wife"-certainly a gold digger and possibly a murderess.  And Christiana must deal with an unwanted new "husband"...and they both must figure out what to do before the ice melts!

She never expected to marry…
Annabel was about to take the veil to become a nun when her mother suddenly arrives at the Abbey to take her home…so that she can marry the Scottish laird who is betrothed to her runaway sister! She knows nothing about being a wife, nothing about how to run a household, and definitely nothing about the marriage bed.
He never expected to fall in love . . .
From the moment Ross MacKay sets eyes on Annabel, he is taken with his shy sweet bride…and the fact that she's blessed with lush curves only makes him utter his own prayers of thanks. But when an enemy endangers her life, he'll move the Highlands themselves to save her. For though Annabel's not the bride he planned for, she's the only woman he desires.

"With humor, wit and compassion, Sands spins the touching tale of a lonely outsider who is rescued from the jaws of a bleak future… Watching Ross and his clan fall in love with Annabel is touching, and Ross' prowess at maneuvering the church's "bedding laws" and Annabel's entrenched religious obedience are highly amusing.
