Born on August 5, 1850, in the Château de Miromesnil in Normandy, Guy de Maupassant became one of the most celebrated masters of the short story in world literature. Raised in a bourgeois family and deeply marked by the landscapes of Normandy, he developed early a sharp sense of observation and a taste for realism. His mother, a cultivated and independent woman, encouraged his literary ambitions and introduced him to the renowned novelist Gustave Flaubert, who became his mentor and guided his early writing. Maupassant first gained fame in 1880 with the publication of "Boule de Suif," included in the collective volume Les Soirées de Médan, alongside writers such as Émile Zola. The story was an immediate success and established him as a leading voice of the Naturalist movement. Over the next decade, he wrote more than 300 short stories, six novels, travel narratives, and numerous articles. His most famous works include the novel Bel-Ami (1885), a sharp portrayal of ambition and corruption in Parisian society, and Une Vie (1883), which explores the disillusionments of a young woman trapped by social conventions. In his short stories—such as "The Necklace" and "The Horla"—Maupassant displayed remarkable psychological insight, irony, and a deep understanding of human desires, fears, and hypocrisies. His style is characterized by clarity, concision, and an often cruel lucidity about human nature. Maupassant's life, however, was marked by illness and growing mental distress, partly due to syphilis contracted in his youth. In 1892, after a suicide attempt, he was committed to a private asylum in Passy, Paris, where he died on July 6, 1893, at the age of 42.

When a heroic rescue leaves firefighter Colby Morgan fighting to rebuild his life, the last thing he expects is to fall for the woman helping him recover in this emotionally rich, humor-filled romance with sizzling chemistry, blended family warmth, and a swoonworthy “man in uniform” hero who will do anything for the woman he loves. **A Revised and Refreshed DELUXE EDITION trade paperback with stenciled edges and interior design** Prepare to meet Colby Morgan, the hottest firefighter on your bookshelf . . . The first time I laid eyes on Lydia Decker, I couldn’t speak. Or breathe. Or string two coherent thoughts together. And I don’t mean any of that figuratively. I’m not talking about a guy being floored by the sight of a gorgeous woman—although; of course, Lydia is gorgeous beyond words. No, when I first laid eyes on Lydia Decker—my physical therapist—I was lying flat on my back in the ICU, high as a kite on painkillers, breathing on a ventilator, my bones as broken and splintered as my spirit. When I first laid eyes on Lydia Decker, she was a ray of light in the dark. Hope for the hopeless. A salve for my singed and battered soul. She said she’d been assigned to fix me. That she was there to bring me back to life. She said helping me was her calling. And then she touched me. Physically, emotionally, spiritually. She healed me. And I fell in love. But what I didn’t know . . . what I couldn’t possibly know . . . was that Lydia Decker needed fixing far more than I ever did.

Bloomsbury presents Michael Rabin - America's Virtuoso Violinist by Anthony Feinstein, read by Guy Bannerman. In Michael Rabin: America's Virtuoso Violinist, Anthony Feinstein tells the poignant story of the life and career of one of history's greatest violinists. As a child prodigy, Rabin had the classical music world at his feet. Notable successes included a coveted EMI contract, recording the soundtrack for an Elizabeth Taylor movie, and guest appearances on the Milton Berle Show and the Bell Telephone Hour. Yet no sooner had Rabin taken his place alongside such illustrious colleagues as Heifetz, Milstein, and Stern than he abruptly and inexplicably disappeared from the concert stage. For three years, the public saw and heard little of him. In the mid-1960s, Rabin resurfaced and painstakingly began rebuilding a once-great career. Then one morning, the music world awoke to news of his sudden, mysterious death at age 35. For the first edition of this biography, Feinstein had unprecedented access to Rabin's private papers and medical history. Now he draws on additional material obtained from recent interviews with Rabin's colleagues, girlfriends, and management. The result is an added appreciation of Rabin's remarkable family, his cloistered upbringing, and a micromanaged career that ensured not only great success but also periods of deep despair. Michael Rabin: America's Virtuoso Violinist is more than a story of a great violinist. It is also the moving account of a man of rare talent who never stopped battling to find personal happiness on that fragile journey from wunderkind to adulthood.

Fallon Bane thought that being cursed to feel pain every time she was touched was the worst thing that would ever happen to her. She was wrong. The worst thing was finding and falling for Ariyon--the only person in the realm who can touch her--only to accidentally trap him in the land of souls and swap powers with him. Now she must act as Maven healer to Queen Solana while trying to figure out how to sneak into the Realm of Eternity to save Ariyon. She drove me crazy, in both good and bad ways, and all I wanted to do was finally kiss her, hold her, feel her body relax into mine like it'd found its missing other half. Aryion Madden had enough to deal with: heir to the throne, Maven healing powers that meant he would die young, and orphaned by Marissa Bane. Then, he met Marissa's daughter and fell in love, upending everything he thought he knew. Now, he has to fight for his life--and maybe his afterlife--against the undead using Fallon's dark magic. And if that's not enough to worry about, all the while, the prophesied Nightling war is approaching.
