"Uno dei migliori thriller che abbia letto quest'anno. La trama è intelligente, e aggancia dal primo momento. L'autore ha fatto un lavoro superbo nel creare una serie di personaggi pienamente sviluppati e davvero interessanti. Non vedo l'ora di leggere il seguito." --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (su A ogni costo) OPERAZIONE PRESIDENTE è il libro 5 della serie thriller best-seller di Luke Stone, che comincia con A OGNI COSTO (libro 1)! Quando la Cina manda in bancarotta l'economia statunitense incassando il debito e chiudendo il Mar Cinese Meridionale, gli americani necessitano di un cambiamento radicale. La presidente Susan Hopkins, in corsa per la rielezione, resta di sasso nel vedere ciò che accade. Il suo rivale, un folle senatore dell'Alabama che persegue con la promessa di espellere tutti i cinesi e distruggere col nucleare le navi cinesi fuori dal Mar Cinese Meridionale, incredibilmente ha vinto. La presidente Hopkins, però, sa di non poter cedere il potere. Farlo vorrebbe dire causare la scintilla della Terza guerra mondiale. Sapendo che le elezioni sono state rubate, la presidente Hopkins ha bisogno di quarantotto ore per dimostrarlo e per fermare l'escalation di giochi di guerra con i cinesi. Senza nessuno ormai a cui rivolgersi, convoca Luke Stone, l'ex capo di una squadra d'élite paramilitare dell'FBI. Gli interessi in gioco non potrebbero essere più grossi quando gli ordina di salvare l'America dalla sua minaccia più grande: il suo stesso presidente eletto. Eppure, con uno scioccante colpo di scena dopo l'altro, persino per Luke Stone potrebbe essere troppo tardi. Thriller politico dall'azione continua, con drammatiche ambientazioni internazionali e suspense al cardiopalma, OPERAZIONE PRESIDENTE è il libro numero 5 della serie best-seller acclamata dalla critica di Luke Stone, un'esplosiva nuova serie che vi costringerà a girare pagina fino alla rivelazione finale. "La narrativa thriller al suo meglio. I fan del genere che apprezzano l'esecuzione precisa di un thriller internazionale, pur cercando profondità psicologica e credibilità in un protagonista che affronta sfide contemporaneamente sul piano professionale e personale, troveranno qui una storia avvincente difficile da abbandonare." --Midwest Book Review, Diane Donovan (a proposito di A ogni costo) Il libro 6 della serie di Luke Stone sarà presto disponibile.

'As sexy as it is sweet, this is the perfect beach read!' - Catherine Walsh, the bestselling author of Snowed In *** In surfing, everyone's chasing the perfect ride... Twelve years ago, Leo Silva was a world champion surfer—until reckless partying and tabloid scandals ended his career. After a mysteriously sudden and early retirement, Leo retreated to a sleepy seaside village in Portugal, where he's remained out of the spotlight ever since. But when he receives a surprise invitation to compete in Australia's legendary Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach contest, the news of his comeback sends shockwaves through the surf world. Enter Iris Gray, an ambitious sports journalist from London. Her editor wants her to make Leo and his comeback the topic of glossy Studio magazine's next big feature, but there's one small catch – he happens to be the son of TV star and media proprietor Michelle Martin, the owner of Studio. With a lot of pressure riding on this project and Iris's career hanging in the balance, there's simply no room for mistakes. When Iris flies to Portugal, she expects to uncover the truth behind Leo's infamous past, but she is unprepared for his stubbornness—or the undeniable chemistry that simmers between them. But as her interviewee and the boss's son, Leo is strictly off-limits... With a fierce rival threatening to derail Leo's comeback and the competition fast approaching, can they stay focused on their goals, or will love pull them under? *** Perfect for fans of: Sports romance Forced proximity Forbidden love Spicy love stories *** Readers LOVE Katherine Reilly: 'A delightful read, full of angst, romance and heapings of humour!' - NetGalley reviewer, 5* 'I LOVED this book...

He is one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court - but from early childhood Andre Agassi hated the game. 'engaging, thrilling...a superbly written book' Michael Atherton, The Times 'Honest in a way that such books seldom are ... An uncommonly well-written sports memoir' New York Times 'stunningly good' Lynne Truss, The Times Coaxed to swing a racket while still in the crib, forced to hit hundreds of balls a day while still in grade school, Agassi resented the constant pressure even as he drove himself to become a prodigy, an inner conflict that would define him. Now, in his beautiful, haunting autobiography, Agassi tells the story of a life framed by such conflicts. Agassi makes us feel his panic as an undersized seven-year-old in Las Vegas, practicing all day under the obsessive gaze of his violent father. We see him at thirteen, banished to a Florida tennis camp. Lonely, scared, a ninth-grade dropout, he rebels in ways that will soon make him a 1980s icon. By the time he turns pro at sixteen, his new look promises to change tennis forever, as does his lightning fast return. And yet, despite his raw talent, he struggles early on. We feel his confusion as he loses to the world's best, his greater confusion as he starts to win. After stumbling in three Grand Slam finals, Agassi shocks the world, and himself, by capturing the 1992 Wimbledon. Overnight he becomes a fan favorite and a media target. Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match, and every public relationship. Alongside vivid portraits of rivals, Agassi gives unstinting accounts of his brief time with Barbra Streisand and his doomed marriage to Brooke Shields. He reveals the depression that shatters his confidence, and the mistake that nearly costs him everything. Finally, he recounts his spectacular resurrection and his march to become the oldest man ever ranked number one. In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf. With its breakneck tempo and raw candor, Open will be read and cherished for years. A treat for ardent fans, it will also captivate readers who know nothing about tennis. Like Agassi's game, it sets a new standard for grace, style, speed and power.

Audrey si sta facendo un buon nome in campo professionale e viene invitata a recarsi in altre città della Sicilia per dare una mano con il problema degli animali di strada.

E, come se non bastasse, dopo un delitto inaspettato, diventa anche la principale indiziata del crimine. Riuscirà Audrey a riscattarsi dall'accusa, riabilitare la sua reputazione e scoprire l'identità del vero assassino?

From Andre Agassi, one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court, a beautiful, haunting autobiography. A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Century Agassi’s incredibly rigorous training begins when he is just a child. By the age of thirteen, he is banished to a Florida tennis camp that feels like a prison camp. Lonely, scared, a ninth-grade dropout, he rebels in ways that will soon make him a 1980s icon. He dyes his hair, pierces his ears, dresses like a punk rocker. By the time he turns pro at sixteen, his new look promises to change tennis forever, as does his lightning-fast return. And yet, despite his raw talent, he struggles early on. We feel his confusion as he loses to the world’s best, his greater confusion as he starts to win. After stumbling in three Grand Slam finals, Agassi shocks the world, and himself, by capturing the 1992 Wimbledon. Overnight he becomes a fan favorite and a media target. Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match and every relationship. Never before has the inner game of tennis and the outer game of fame been so precisely limned. Alongside vivid portraits of rivals from several generations—Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer—Agassi gives unstinting accounts of his brief time with Barbra Streisand and his doomed marriage to Brooke Shields. He reveals a shattering loss of confidence. And he recounts his spectacular resurrection, a comeback climaxing with his epic run at the 1999 French Open and his march to become the oldest man ever ranked number one. In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf. Inspired by her quiet strength, he fights through crippling pain from a deteriorating spine to remain a dangerous opponent in the twenty-first and final year of his career. Entering his last tournament in 2006, he’s hailed for completing a stunning metamorphosis, from nonconformist to elder statesman, from dropout to education advocate. And still he’s not done. At a U.S. Open for the ages, he makes a courageous last stand, then delivers one of the most stirring farewells ever heard in a sporting arena. With its breakneck tempo and raw candor, Open will be read and cherished for years. A treat for ardent fans, it will also captivate readers who know nothing about tennis. Like Agassi’s game, it sets a new standard for grace, style, speed, and power.

In the world of professional hockey, these players know how to score. But will the love they find off the ice be any match for their love for the game, or is someone bound to lose? This box set includes all three full-length novels in the Hat Trick series: Off the Ice Tristan Holt may be at the top of his game, but hitting the books in the off-season means he'll have a business degree to fall back on when it's time to hang up his hockey skates. What seems to be a straightforward plan is complicated by his undeniable attraction to his sexy sociology professor, Sebastian Cruz. Impressed by Tristan's brain as well as his brawn, Sebastian can't help lusting after the gorgeous jock. With tenure on the line, Sebastian won't break the rules by becoming involved with one of his students-at least, not until the end of term. Once final grades are posted, though, their naughty mutual fantasies can become reality. Tristan's not sure he's up for being the poster boy for openly gay hockey players, but Sebastian's never been the type of man to keep his sexuality-or his relationships-in the closet. For Tristan, being with Sebastian might mean risking more than just his heart. Goalie Interference After a stellar season as goalie for the Atlanta Venom, Ryu Mori is expecting to hear he's the new starting goalie for the team when he's called into mangement's office. Instead, Emmitt Armstrong-the incredibly hot, annoyingly bratty rookie-is here to compete for his spot. Emmitt Armstrong is not about to waste the opportunity after grinding his way from the bottom to the top. If the Venom are looking for a meek, mild-mannered pushover, they've got the wrong guy. Ryu doesn't want to admit the other goalie's smart mouth turns him on. Beating Armstrong at practice feels good, sure, but there are other, more fun ways to shut his rival up. In this league, it's winner takes all. But there's more to life than winning, and if Emmitt and Ryu can get past their egos and competitive natures, they might just discover they work better as partners than they ever imagined possible. Trade Deadline Daniel "Bellzie" Bellamy should be on top of the world-a Stanley Cup is the perfect topper to his fourteen-year NHL career. But despite the post-win high, something's missing. When the chance to play for his hometown team, the Miami Thunder, comes along, he's open to it. And when he runs into an old friend from his past soon after he makes the move, he wonders if it might be kismet. Micah Kelly never thought he'd reunite with his childhood crush-and first kiss-again. Danny Bellamy moved on to bigger and better things when they were teenagers, and the idea that Micah's relationship with the professional hockey player could be anything more than one-sided Instagram thirst seems too good to be true. As the season goes on, Micah teaches Daniel to surf, and Daniel introduces Micah to his lovable pack of rescue dogs and the world of being a hockey boyfriend. Life is good. But when things on the ice don't go as planned, they'll have to decide if their rediscovered romance is built to last.
