“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.

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.

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.

Find out what happens when their perfect image breaks in #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken''s steamy new adult romance. Everything was perfect. Until it wasn''t. Until my family took on a foster girl and placed her across the hall from me. A charity case to look good and a person who should have never existed in my world. I kissed her to get her to stop talking, and then I kissed her again because I liked the taste of her words-I liked her. It was our secret until we got caught-that night changed everything. We became strangers living in the same house, seeing the same ghosts of our past mistakes, but I can''t stop thinking about us, about those forbidden moments. I pretend to hate her, I tell her I''ll never forgive her, and then Quinn, my ex-best friend, steps into the picture. I can''t tell if he actually likes her or if he has a death wish and just likes pissing me off, but what do I say? Stay away from my foster sister? She''s mine? I''ve already had her? Saying that to him would expose what we were and ruin everything. We''re all three of us living multiple lies, and eventually, I know our ivory tower of perfection is going to come crashing down. He knows my secrets. I know his. And now she knows both. She wants. He wants. But I always-always get what I want. And what I want is the girl, no matter what it may cost me.

Nejsem typická dívka. Utíkala jsem tak dlouho před vzpomínkami, které mě pronásledovaly, až se deprese stala mou jedinou společnicí. Žila jsem v temnotě... dokud se Wes Michels nenabídl, že se stane mým světlem. Netušila jsem, že čas nehraje v můj prospěch – že každou vteřinou, která uběhne, se přibližuju ke konci něčeho, co znamená začátek konce mě samotné. Snažil se mě varovat. Slíbil mi všechno, co jen mohl – každičkou chvíli –, ale ani to nestačilo. Někdy, když si myslíte, že je konec, tak je to ve skutečnosti jen začátek. Wes si myslel, že mě může zachránit, ale tím, že mi dal všechno, mě naopak zničil. Protože po jednom jediném polibku, jednom jediném dotyku už jsem nemohla – už jsem nechtěla – být stejná jako dřív. Od té chvíle se jeho srdeční tep stal mým vlastním.

I hit on her first. Realized she was my best friend Finn''s little sister second. And got a bloody nose third - compliments of Finn after he watched me nearly score with the new underclassman. After all I did have a reputation on campus, word on the street was that a girl could orgasm within one minute just watching me eat Lucky Charms. You can''t make this stuff up - even though it was at least four minutes and included outside circumstances. Ahem, I digress. Point is, not only did I earn the attention of the worst sort of girl for me - my best friend''s only sibling - but now she''s out to seduce me. Me! One of the most famous Pleasure Ponies of them all! I can''t shower - she follows me to the bathroom. Literally. I can''t sleep - Lucky me, she lives in the same dorm. And I can''t focus on anything except for her taunting eyes every single time something goes her way. I want her, but I don''t want her to know I want her, and I definitely don''t want to die before graduation, which is looking more and more likely considering we can''t keep our hands off each other. Something''s gotta give, and I have an inkling I should probably start writing my eulogy now because that something is probably going to be me.
