È colpa mia?

Autore: Mercedes Ron

Numero di pagine: 408

Se hai solo diciassette anni e tua madre decide di cambiare vita, marito e città non puoi fare altro che seguirla, anche se è l’ultima cosa che vorresti al mondo. Anche se la città in questione è Los Angeles. È quello che succede a Noah, costretta a lasciare il fidanzato e tutti i suoi amici per trasferirsi in California, dove l’attendono una villa gigantesca, vestiti costosi, scuole private e feste in piscina. Tutte cose che a Noah non sono mai troppo interessate. Ma ad attenderla c’è anche Nicholas, il suo nuovo fratellastro: ventun anni, studente del college, capelli scuri e penetranti occhi azzurri. Quello che Noah non sa, e che nessuno in famiglia sospetta, è che dietro quella faccia d’angelo Nicholas nasconde una doppia vita, non proprio da bravo ragazzo… I mondi di Noah e Nick non potrebbero essere più diversi, eppure un’attrazione irrefrenabile (e inaspettata) si insinua prepotentemente fino a sconvolgere le loro esistenze. Stare accanto a uno come Nicholas Leister ha un prezzo, e nel caso di Noah questo vuol dire fare i conti con i fantasmi del passato e arrivare al punto di mettere a rischio la sua stessa vita… Una storia d’amore frenetica e...

Quando Noah si è innamorata di Nick, sapeva che la loro relazione non sarebbe stata facile. Appartengono a due mondi troppo diversi, ma insieme fanno scintille, sono fuoco ed elettricità allo stato puro. Finora l’amore e la passione si sono dimostrati più forti dell’orgoglio, ma la vita di Noah sta per capovolgersi di nuovo adesso che è il momento di iniziare l’università. La differenza di età, la vita al campus, le feste pericolose e i demoni interiori che perseguitano entrambi metteranno Nick e Noah ancora e ancora alla prova, minacciosi come una bomba a orologeria sul punto di esplodere, per riportare a galla tutte le insicurezze e i segreti che i due non hanno mai avuto il coraggio di confessarsi… Dopo il successo straordinario di È colpa mia?, Mercedes Ron torna con il romanzo che svela l’attesissimo seguito della storia d’amore più ardente e indimenticabile del momento.

Trilogia della colpa

Autore: Mercedes Ron

Numero di pagine: 1235

Per Noah tutto è crollato quando è stata costretta a partire. Per Nick tutto è iniziato con l’arrivo di Noah. Per lei prima c’era il Canada, un fidanzato da sogno, gli amici di sempre, una vita tranquilla ma perfetta. Per lui c’erano una villa lussuosa in California, la popolarità in una costosa scuola privata, un passatempo pericoloso che nascondeva dietro la faccia da bravo ragazzo. I loro mondi non potrebbero essere più diversi, ma quando all’improvviso si trovano ad abitare insieme devono rimettere in gioco tutto e abituarsi alla nuova vita da fratellastri. E se all’inizio non sopportano di rimanere nella stessa stanza per più di cinque minuti, ben presto un’attrazione irrefrenabile e inaspettata si insinuerà tra loro, costringendoli ad affrontare oscuri segreti e fantasmi dal passato che non danno tregua… La storia d’amore che ha fatto sognare il BookTok, per la prima volta in un unico volume. Una trilogia impossibile da lasciare a metà.

Ma quando una notizia inaspettata arriva come un fulmine a ciel sereno a sconvolgere il fragile equilibrio che hanno faticosamente costruito, entrambi saranno costretti a decidere, una volta per tutte, se sono davvero fatti l’uno per l’altra o se invece separarsi è l’unica scelta possibile. Perché l’amore a volte non basta e ci sono ferite tanto profonde che neanche il perdono può guarire. Ma come si fa a lasciarsi alle spalle un legame così forte? Come si cancellano i ricordi impressi a fuoco nel cuore? Nick e Noah riusciranno a lasciarsi il passato alle spalle e a ricominciare da capo? Intrecciando amore, passione e segreti inconfessabili Mercedes Ron firma l’attesissimo capitolo finale della storia d’amore proibita che ha conquistato milioni di lettori in tutto il mondo.

Envy

The shadowy world of shifting step-parents and seedy refuges for runaway teenage and young adult parents of the post WWII Britain has many secrets best left buried. For instance, only elderly Pat Dickens knows the enmeshed filial backgrounds of three thirty-something women professionals: Sharon Rains who heads an employment agency that does more than recruit for labour; Mary Thompson who has her way from sleazy East End back streets right to the corridors of Whitehall; and Marion Audrey, a devoted single mother with a demanding role in her family business. They are her arsenal against Burton Macdonald for a half century of lost love. Enters Alex Mwenda, a stranger with a mysterious past and a hand for children; and Marions are not spared. Soon, she is torn between her faith and the new bliss, unaware that the children are in the eye of a storm. But when they are abducted, she can only tell the man who now loves them more than he loves her. The unlikely warrior loses control in the search for the children that leads to the dense Savernake Forest where lie many other victims of paedophilia and human trafficking.

The Devil’s Tower, a slender rock column soared 175 feet above the angry Norwegian Sea. On top of the Devil’s Tower was the Devil’s Lighthouse. The names for the tower and lighthouse were bestowed with good reason. The ghost who haunted the lighthouse was grappling with the light keeper who was fighting for his life, wrestling with an opponent that he could not even see. The battle raged on the narrow walkway that surrounded the rotating light. The ghost, as always, won the life and death battle and flung the lightkeeper over the railing, his body crashing on the craggy rocks 175 feet below. Aaron Jurgen, assuming the ghost stories were nothing more than campfire tales, purchased the rock column and the lighthouse. No one bothered to tell him that the Devil still owned both.

There is a sliver of sand that extends itself into the sea beyond the usual coastline of North Carolina. Rich in pirate lore, ghost stories, nor'easters, and unpredictable weather, the Outer Banks continues to leave an indelible impression on those who are receptive. A reflection of three generations in the changing landscape of the North Carolina Outer Banks, Coming Home takes readers back to the more innocent era of the 1920s and 1930s, followed by accounts of the legendary Casino, the shifting sand of Jockey's Ridge, and other memories too good to lose from the 1950s and '60s. This reflection comes full circle with stories from vacationers who 'wrote' parts of this ode to the Outer Banks through their own real-life experiences. Author Sally Nixon Haines invites readers to see this place as locals do, offering insider information, travel tips, and amusing anecdotes—all sprinkled with a hearty dose of humor and nostalgia.
