From New York Times and #1 Amazon bestselling author Marina Adair, comes a hysterical and heartfelt opposites attract, hot-neighbor romantic comedy that fans of Nadia Lee, Lucy Score, and Jill Shalvis will adore. Town ball-buster and reformed bad-girl, Kat Rhodes, has always had a love for trouble, not to mention trouble when it comes to love. Just last month she shared the most awkward, awful, terrible kiss in the history of kisses with the town's most infuriating man-the straight-laced, stick-up-his-backside, golden boy. It was an experience she vowed never to repeat, until she does and, woah baby, it's a fireworks, flutter-inducing, and all kinds of fanfare event. Which is ridiculous. He enforces laws, she breaks them. He's walks the straight and narrow-she doesn't even know how to color in the lines. Things in common: zero. Chances of a third kiss: negative zero. Federal Law Enforcement agent, Nolan Carmichael moved back to his ski town of Sierra Vista, hoping to find some much needed solitude in the wide open spaces and fresh mountain air. But for a job that is supposed to bring him closer to nature, Nolan finds himself too busy handling drunken campers and heading up security at his family's lodge to find any kind of peace. Or maybe his problem has something to do with the troublemaker next door. The woman is sexy, stubborn, and a distraction he can't afford. Especially since she is opinionated, annoying as hell, and has a record of causing trouble almost as long as those legs of hers. But when things start to go missing at the family lodge, and Kat's sister gets mixed up with the wrong crowd, he decides he'll do whatever it takes to get to the truth behind the burglaries-even if it means using his relationship with Kat. Which leaves Nolan two choices: follow the letter of the law or follow his heart. Second First Kiss is a tender, laugh-out-loud romcom featuring a law man who comes equipped with his own cuffs, a reformed bad-girl, and a series of white lies that leads to an enemies-to-lovers romance that will make you fall in love. It's book 2 in a series, but can be read as a standalone, and is guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and bring all the feels in-between. Second First Kiss is a frenemies-to-lovers, hot neighbor, what's-one-little-lie romcom with no cheating, no triggers and a satisfying happily ever after.

The strange and suspenseful dystopian classic about an ordinary woman whose weekend away in the Austrian mountains takes an inexplicable and sinister turn - and becomes a fight for survival. **FOR FANS OF I WHO HAVE NEVER KNOWN MEN** A woman takes a holiday in the Austrian mountains, spending a few days with her cousin and his wife in their hunting lodge.

This thoroughly updated third edition of Bradt’s Suriname remains the most detailed English-language guidebook – and the only standalone guide from a major travel publisher – to this exciting and emerging ecotourism destination. With an unrivalled nine-tenths of the thinly populated country comprising unspoilt rainforest, Suriname offers much to wildlife enthusiasts, adventurous travellers and anyone who delights in non-mainstream destinations – and is ever more accessible from the US via increasingly regular flights. A true one-off, Suriname is geographically part of South America, but politically looks mainly towards the Caribbean and is inexorably tied, linguistically and historically, to the Netherlands, its former coloniser. Peaceful and stable, the country celebrated the 50th anniversary of its independence in 2025. Its forested interior is swathed by pristine Amazonian rainforest, rich in wildlife – from monkeys to macaws, tapirs to sloths – and accessible only by air or by motorised dugout along the tropical waterways that incise it. On the coast, the capital Paramaribo is a lively, culinarily rewarding, ethnically diverse city whose historic old quarter, lined with Dutch-Creole architectural gems, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nearby beaches offer some of the world’s finest turtle-viewing sites, plus superb birdwatching. The longer you stay, the deeper you can delve. Explore several sites, including Peperpot Nature Park, along the Commewijne Plantation Loop. Marvel at 350 elaborate petroglyphs engraved into the walls of the Werehpai Caves, undiscovered by outsiders until 2004. Or visit the ruins of Jodensavanne (‘Jewish Savannah’); Suriname’s second-most important settlement until the early 19th century, and now its most important and intriguing historical site. Written by prolific guidebook author Philip Briggs, Bradt’s Suriname offers detailed coverage of all accessible parks and reserves, gearing advice to visitors joining organised tours as well as those who prefer independent travel. It is also the first guidebook to provide a comprehensive section on the Upper Suriname River, an exciting and remote area serviced by around 20 small lodges. Despite such riches, however, tourism to this safe and friendly country remains in its infancy, making it a fabulously rewarding travel destination for those who relish the truly wild and offbeat.

'Lana is the undisputed queen of anything Omegaverse! She writes the best sex scenes and her stories never fail to make me laugh! Lana has mastered the art of the spicy romcom, and The Mating Game is another homerun from her! ' Ali Hazelwood, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Two wolf shifters reluctant to love discover there's no fighting the call of the wild in this steamy romance by USA Today bestselling author Lana Ferguson. Contractor Tess Covington has spent her entire life as a regular non-shifter human, so after she lands in the Denver ER with flu-like symptoms, it comes as a complete shock to be told that, no, she's not sick - she's actually a late-presenting omega wolf shifter. With her family in dire financial straits and a contract for her own television show on the line, she can't afford not to complete the renovation job she came for. And given that her newly emerged wolf is in danger of going into heat, she'll just have to do her best to follow the doctor's advice to keep away from alpha shifters. Alpha wolf Hunter Barrett has spent most of his adult life living by a routine, and a big part of that involves staying clear of omegas after having one stomp on his heart. So when the tiny contractor shows up at his place smelling like the one thing he's determined to avoid, he thinks it must be some sort of cosmic joke. But with his lodge on the verge of failing and this sweet-smelling omega his only hope to turn things around . . . he's left with few other options than to grin and bear it. Set on avoiding each other as much as possible, they find things unexpectedly starting to heat up between them enough to thaw even the frostiest of hearts. Though even with the pair going head over paws for each other, there's no changing that their fling has an expiration date. The more time they spend together, the more they realize they're playing a dangerous game - one where the only thing on the line is their hearts.
