When I left my life as the daughter of the most powerful mob family in New York City, I never imagined I’d be forced to marry my identical twin sister’s fiancé. Even if he’s Finn Gallagher, the family’s heartless, handsome, and intimidating top enforcer. And the only man I’ve ever wanted. But when my sister disappeared on her wedding day, my father demanded I impersonate her. If I refused, I’d endanger the lives of everyone. If I agreed, I’d be putting myself back into the hands of the Gallaghers, the family that betrayed me. Nothing could be more dangerous. Then he kissed me.

I was supposed to walk down the aisle to Finn Gallagher, heir to the Gallagher mafia. Instead, I walked out of my own life as the favored mafia daughter to start a new one in Hawai’i. On my terms. Now they’ve found me. He’s found me. Cian Mahoney, the most wanted and despised enforcer in the Gallagher Mafia. My nemesis. And the man whose kiss intoxicated me the night I disappeared. If he drags me back to New York, my life is over. So I formulate an escape plan. Make Cian believe I want him. Need him. Crave him. Except my performance turns real.

I crashed the double wedding of two of the scariest Irish Kings to get information. Information to help me find my best friend’s sister, who was abducted. All I had to do was hack the phone of one of the mafia members.

KiaraI’ve only ever wanted the two things I can’t have —love and freedom. Instead, I’m a prisoner. Forced to create art for the De Lucas to exploit. Until my father is murdered. Now my monstrous cousin is the new don, and life as I know it is about to end. Instead of just selling my paintings, he's planning to auction me off to the highest bidder. So I run. Right into the hottest guy I’ve ever seen, who pins me to the wall and kisses me until my body lights up inside like a Christmas tree, before helping me escape. But he’s no savior.

LucyI don’t need a bodyguard. Especially not one as cold and devastatingly gorgeous as Callum Kavanaugh. I’ve just landed a spot in the most competitive modeling event of the year. This is my chance to reclaim my life after everything I’ve survived. I won’t let an overbearing robot in a three-piece suit stop me. His calm, condescending demeanor infuriates me. I want to break his control and create chaos in his life and see how he likes it. But I’m playing with fire, because the sparks between us could turn into a blaze that burns out of control. He can protect me from the evil man hunting me.

Kellin Brennan is the answer to my prayers. If his company invests in my boutique Santa Monica hotel, I can finally escape my family. My destiny. And run my hotel on my terms, free from my father’s mafia world.

Barbecue: The History of an American Institution draws on hundreds of sources to document the evolution of barbecue from its origins among Native Americans to its present status as an icon of American culture. This is the story not just of a dish but of a social institution that helped shape the many regional cultures of the United States.

By the wonder of reverse tachyon technology, we have been able to retrieve a series of essays on the History of the United States which was published (or will be published) in the year 2190 AD. The author, Hugo Gottfried, was (will be) the custodian of the abandoned research library on Fifth Avenue in New York City. As he began in the middle of the 22nd century to read the old books down in the dark and dusty nether recesses of the crumbling old building, he slowly came to a startling realization.

This book is for those who find themselves questioning the simplistic solutions of our age and who find arguing about the existence of God a waste of time—as if God were a super-being, a divine fixer or fascist. It is for those who are yearning for ways to connect that involve both faith and rationality: making room for God while being unwilling to check their brains at the door.
