“No elijo la muerte. Ni siquiera elijo la vida. La elijo a ella.” El romance más adictivo que no podrás parar de leer Decían que los dioses eran un mito. Que los gigantes solo eran historias contadas alrededor de fogatas moribundas. Mentían. Los dioses no están muertos; tan solo están dormidos, encerrados en cuerpos mortales, desperdigados por el mundo y esperando a que la chispa adecuada los despierte. Y mi padre es el más despiadado de todos. Me crio para obedecer. Para sangrar. Para ser su espada cuando llegue el momento. Y ahora me ha enviado a la Universidad de Endir, un lugar lleno de linajes antiguos y secretos letales, para recuperar el Mjölnir, el martillo de las leyendas. Si fracaso, todas las personas que quiero morirán. Pero Aric Erikson no formaba parte del plan. Él es el heredero del enemigo. Distante. Peligroso. Y... la única persona de quien no puedo permitirme enamorarme. Se ha aislado por completo detrás de un muro de hielo, pero cuanto más me ordenan que lo descifre, más difícil me resulta recordar dónde terminan las mentiras y dónde comienzo yo. Ahora, lo único que me separa de una guerra que decidirá el destino del mundo son una misión que yo no escogí... y un hombre a quien nunca debí amar. Pero, si yo soy la chispa, tal vez él sea la mecha. ¿Y los dioses? Están a punto de despertar furiosos.

They said the Gods were myth. That the Giants were only stories told around dying fires. They lied. The Gods aren’t dead—they’re only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And my father is the most ruthless of them all. He raised me to obey. To bleed. To be his blade when the time came. Now he’s sending me to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer of legend. If I fail, everyone I love dies. But Aric Erikson wasn’t part of the plan. He’s the enemy’s heir. Distant. Dangerous. And...the one person I can’t afford to fall for. He’s closed himself off completely behind a wall of ice, but the more I’m ordered to unravel him, the harder it becomes to remember where the lies end and I begin. There's only a mission I never chose—and a man I was never meant to love—standing between me and a war that will decide the fate of the world. But if I’m the spark, maybe he’s the fuse. And the Gods? They’re about to wake up angry.

Él está destinado a salvarla. Ella será su perdición. Liv siempre se ha sentido atraida por la mitología nórdica. Tras haberse graduado recibe de forma inesperada una oferta del trabajo de sus sueños en Noruega. Liv enseguida se da cuenta de que en el pequeño pueblo de Vonn al que ha ido a parar nada es lo que parece. Además, su nuevo jefe, Tristán, es muy antipático con ella (y terriblemente irresistible), y una de las condiciones del trabajo consiste en vivir con él en su mansión, donde la tensión entre ellos es inevitable. Pero pronto se da cuenta de que él esconde mucho más de lo que ella cree, y podría suponer un peligro incluso para su propia vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION They said the gods were myth. That the giants were only stories told around dying fires. They lied. The gods aren't dead--they're only sleeping, locked in mortal bodies, scattered across the world, waiting for the right spark to wake them. And Odin, the most ruthless of them all, is my father. He raised me to obey. To bleed. To be his blade when the time came. Now he's sending me to Endir University, a place filled with ancient bloodlines and deadly secrets, to steal back Mjolnir, the hammer that once belonged to my dead brother. If I fail, everyone I love dies. But Aric Westberg wasn't part of the plan. He's the enemy's heir. Distant. Dangerous. And somehow...familiar. He doesn't know what he is yet--or what he carries--but I do. And the more I'm ordered to unravel him, the harder it becomes to remember where the lies end and I begin. Because there's no clean line between survival and surrender anymore. No comfort in the stories I've told myself to make any of this feel justified. Only a mission I never chose--and a man I was never meant to care about--standing between me and the end of the world. If I'm the spark, he's the fuse. And the gods? They're about to wake up angry.

Spellbinding new fantasy from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken — coming soon!

Lost in Seoul is a standalone new adult romance set in the competitive world of K-pop from bestselling authors Rachel Van Dyken and Colet Abedi. A meet cute is supposed to be cute. Ours was sexy. Chaotic. Not normal. Less than 10 minutes after we met, I realized we could never be. She was forbidden to me. She held my hand behind his back. I gripped hers, knowing it was wrong. I was on the cusp of superstardom-and still I held her fingertips because it felt right. Knowing that when it all went wrong, we would be done-the media would destroy us. After all, not only was she was four years older than me, she was the leader of SWT's sister-my best friend-and someone who could wreck everything we'd worked for. But I still held on. I'm lost. So lost. I'm the youngest in the group, the one everyone sees as the most innocent. But they don't know the stolen moments with her. The kisses. The touching. They don't know any of that. So I keep acting as if I'm pure as the driven snow when really all it took was one chance meeting. To make. Me. Sin. Hi, I'm Sookie, Maknae of SWT, the most famous K-pop group in the world. And I'm pretty sure I'm not just lost... nah, I'm about to fall.

Un nuovo sport romance dall'autrice del bestseller Ricordati di Sognare, Rachel Van Dyken: il mondo del calcio non è mai stato così romatico! Dopo che il suo fidanzato l'ha mollata sull'altare, l'ereditiera Mackenzie Dupont decide di concedersi comunque la sua luna di miele a Puerto Vallarta. Il viaggio non inizia nel migliore dei modi: il volo è parecchio turbolento. Ma il lato positivo è che a occupare il sedile accanto c'è l'uomo più bello e gentile che Mack abbia mai incontrato, che prova a distrarla su un aereo di passeggeri in preda al panico. E Mack, presa dall'impulso e dal terrore di morire, decide di cogliere l'attimo e di baciarlo con passione. Slade Rodriguez, calciatore definito il miglior attaccante del mondo, è in fuga dalla stampa, dai fan e perfino dalla sua famiglia. Dopo aver colto la sua fidanzata a tradirlo, è partito unicamente per godersi un po' di solitudine nel lusso prima di unirsi alla sua nuova squadra. Tuttavia, quando la sua bocca subisce l'assalto di quella della meravigliosa ragazza al suo fianco - che sembra non avere idea della sua fama di atleta - i piani di solitudine vanno a monte. Da un bacio, Mack e Slade si ritrovano a trascorrere insieme l'intera giornata e, alla fine, una indimenticabile notte di passione. Al mattino, però, Slade viene riportato crudelmente alla realtà e senza pensarci due volte lascia Mack a risvegliarsi da sola. Di ritorno a Seattle, Mack è pronta per un nuovo lavoro. Impiegare il tempo a fare l'assistente personale per qualche atleta pigro è molto più allettante che lavorare fianco a fianco del suo ex. Alla porta del suo nuovo cliente, però rimarrà sconvolta nel trovarsi faccia a faccia con... l'uomo che l'ha abbandonata in Messico senza una parola. Lo stesso che le ha mentito sulla sua vera identità. E tra l'altro, ora sembra provare un inspiegabile risentimento per lei. Tra incomprensioni, dispetti, e una chimica esplosiva, Mack e Slade dovranno imparare a conoscersi e andare d'accordo perché condividono più di quanto immaginano... compreso un nemico comune che trama nell'ombra. Ma se riusciranno a smettere di nascondersi dalle bugie che si sono raccontati e dai sentimenti che provano l'uno per l'altra, saranno loro a vincere al gioco dell'amore. Accattivante, irresistibile.

Have you ever hated someone so much that you actually wondered if prison would be worth it? I have. And I had to bear witness to Mark's cocky smile for four miserable years watching girl after girl tumble in and out of his bed while he had nothing but scorn for me. After we graduated college and, thank God, finally parted ways, I thought that I was done having to deal with the enemy.

We had to live together under the same roof, and as the challenges got weirder and weirder, we got closer and closer-united by the trauma that is CEO Max Emory.
