The new novel by Maxim Jakubowski, the “King of the Erotic Thriller” (The Times)

A young Italian woman flees her home in Rome and gets involved with the wrong man in Paris.

Cornelia, the fearless stripper and killer for hire, who proved such a hit in previous novels, is back and on another mission to kill.

As the two women’s paths intersect, an English crime writer down on his luck is mistaken for a private eye and goes on a quest for a missing person.

From New York to Paris, and then on a thrilling journey through Barcelona, Tangiers, Venice and then finally to a small medieval town outside Rome, the waltz with darkness of the three characters in search of love, lust and redemption becomes ever more poignant and mysterious.

Sexy, sad, breathless, a memorable tale of lost souls caught in a spider’s web of their own making.

The writing is a joy, dancing nimbly between the erotic and the thriller. There will be many books this year, screaming for your attention, few will satisfy you on every level like this amazing book.

After the last fiasco, Sally gives up. She’ll never find a Dom of her own. Instead the computer whizz is job hunting in between bending the law—just a bit—to unearth the bastards who’d enslaved her friends. The clueless cops and Feds obviously need help.

FBI special agents, Galen and Vance, have waited to play with Sally for a long time. When the mischievous submissive returns to the exclusive Shadowlands BDSM club after an ugly relationship, the experienced co-tops are pleased. Realizing she’s suppressing her emotions, the powerful Doms push her—only to find that her sassiness conceals a scarred and vulnerable heart.

Shaken by the unexpected emotional exposure, Sally flees the demanding Masters and the Shadowlands.

Both Galen and Vance have reasons not to seek a long-term submissive, but when a brutal attack by her ex-Dom sends Sally into their home, the two agents are driven to protect her. To help her. To take her under command. Falling in love isn’t in the plans.

But as the little imp brings light into their lives, they begin to want more…until they discover she’s hacked into an organization that delights in burning people alive.

A passionate novel of unstoppable physical obsession amongst a group of Brussels eurocrats, “Illegal Liaisons” offers a fascinating insight into the first Polish generation that is truly ‘free’, but struggle to know where the boundaries of that freedom lie.

Plebanek’s characters have to negotiate between the old-fashioned devout Catholicism they grew up with, and the modern way of living they are desperate to embrace. Watch them as they try to claim their rightful place within the international crowd in the big world that turns out to be really rather small.

Expect the upending of stereotypes, libidos run wild, graphic eroticisim, and, ultimately, the soul searching and hard realities.

Classic Edward Lee. A non-stop, suspenseful and gripping thriller.

Secrets and lies. They are everywhere: haunting her, tormenting her. In the midst of it all, he’d been her escape, her passion. The only person she’d trusted in six years. And then he’d made her doubt that trust, cutting her deeply. But as she’d once told him, she was damaged, not broken. She is ready to fight and not just for survival. She is fighting for the truth and she won’t stop until she has it, not even for…him.

Они встретятся снова, чтобы продолжить начатую Рэнделлом Перришем партию и закончить задание, которое она получила, когда видела его в последний раз.         – Ты должна кое-что сделать для меня, Лиса.                 Рэнделл:. Со стороны может показаться, что я играю с ней и другими людьми от скуки, но это обманчивое впечатление, не имеющее ничего общего с истинными причинами. Моя одержимость контролем построена исключительно на страхе. Она позволяет мне управлять собой, потому что боится меня, а я использую всевозможные рычаги контроля, потому что боюсь ее. И это удивительное ощущение, невероятное по своей силе. И оно не стихийно, а имеет собственные законы, похожие на те, что держат солнечную систему в равновесии. Планеты вращаются вокруг солнца, под воздействием силы отталкивания, превышающей силу притяжения, и только поэтому не сходят со своей орбиты и галактика остается неизменной.                Лиса: Настоящего Рэнделла не знает никто.        Даже он сам.        Настоящего Рэнделла не существует.        Он по-прежнему живет в закрытой комнате, моделируя собственные псевдореальнсти, создавая схемы, неспешно и продуманно передвигая фигурами живых людей по шахматной доске.        . Я не особенная. Я его секрет. Источник его страха.         И, может быть, главная угроза его существованию.

Эллиаде. Наш маленький городок, находящийся на земле прекрасной Румынии за высокими стенами, ожидает что-то невероятно плохое… чувствую это. Знаю. Ведь не просто так схожу с ума, слыша его голос, зовущий меня на забытом и мертвом языке – латыни. Мне до жути страшно спать, и там он ворвется ко мне, чтобы забрать к себе. Но то, что мне открылось, заставило меня принять решение, изменившее всю мою жизнь, как и жизнь моего народа. Я верю в то, что стены когда-нибудь рухнут…
