Achilleus, »den bedste af alle grækere«, søn af den grusomme havgudinde Thetis og den legendariske kong Peleus, er stærk, hurtig og smuk, uimodståelig for alle, der møder ham. Patroklos er en kejtet ung prins, forvist fra sit hjemland efter en chokerende voldshandling. Bragt sammen af tilfældet knytter de et ubrydeligt bånd, selv om de risikerer gudernes vrede. De trænes af kentauren Cheiron i krigskunst og lægekunst, men da nyheden kommer om, at Helena af Sparta er blevet bortført, kaldes alle Grækenlands helte til at belejre Troja i hendes navn. Forført af løftet om en strålende skæbne slutter Achilleus sig til deres sag, og splittet mellem kærlighed til og frygt for sin ven følger Patroklos efter. De ved ikke, at de grusomme skæbnegudinder vil sætte dem begge på en prøve som aldrig før og kræve et frygteligt offer.

Hledá se: Jeden (falešný) přítel Téměř dokonalý ve všech ohledech Luc O'Donnell je okrajově – a neochotně – slavný. Jeho rodiče, oba rockové hvězdy, se rozešli, když byl malý, a otec, kterého nikdy nepoznal, strávil dalších dvacet let střídavě v léčebnách a mimo ně. Teď, když se jeho otec vrací na scénu, je Luc znovu na očích veřejnosti a jediná kompromitující fotografie stačí, aby všechno zničila. Aby si vylepšil image, musí si Luc najít pěkný, normální vztah... a Oliver Blackwood je tak pěkný a normální, jak jen to jde. Je advokát, etický vegetarián a za celý život nezavdal jediný důvod ke skandálu. Jinými slovy: dokonalý materiál na přítele. Bohužel kromě toho, že jsou oba gayové, svobodní a opravdu, opravdu potřebují doprovod na velkou společenskou událost, nemají Luc a Oliver nic společného. Uzavřou tedy dohodu, že budou vystupovat jako (falešní) přátelé přijatelnější pro veřejnost, dokud se situace neuklidní. Pak se mohou každý vydat vlastní cestou a předstírat, že se to nikdy nestalo. Jenže na falešném randění je to, že může působit hodně jako skutečné randění. A tehdy si na někoho zvyknete. Začnete se do něj zamilovávat. A už ho nikdy nechcete nechat odejít.

Oliver Marks has just served ten years in jail - for a murder he may or may not have committed. On the day he's released, he's greeted by the man who put him in prison. Detective Colborne is retiring, but before he does, he wants to know what really happened a decade ago. As one of seven young actors studying Shakespeare at an elite arts college, Oliver and his friends play the same roles onstage and off: hero, villain, tyrant, temptress, ingenue, extra. But when the casting changes, and the secondary characters usurp the stars, the plays spill dangerously over into life, and one of them is found dead. The rest face their greatest acting challenge yet: convincing the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.

Οι κανόνες ήταν απλοί. Να κρατήσω τα χέρια μου μακριά από την κόρη του και να μη μπλέξω σε μπελάδες. Αλλά τώρα είμαι κολλημένος μαζί της. Υπάρχει μόνο ένα κρεβάτι. Και, λοιπόν, οι κανόνες είναι για να παραβιάζονται. Είμαι το πρόσωπο του επαγγελματικού ροντέο με ταύρους — το χρυσό αγόρι. Ή, τουλάχιστον, ήμουν, μέχρι που όλα έσκασαν στα μούτρα μου. Τώρα ο ατζέντης μου λέει ότι πρέπει να φτιάξω την εικόνα μου, οπότε είμαι κολλημένος με την κόρη του, που δεν σηκώνει πολλά-πολλά, για το υπόλοιπο της σεζόν ως η «επιτήρησή» μου πλήρους απασχόλησης. Αλλά δεν χρειάζομαι καμιά καταραμένη μπέιμπι σίτερ, ειδικά κάποια με εφαρμοστό τζιν, σέξι μειδίαμα και στόμα που δεν σταματά να μιλάει. Ένα στόμα που δεν μπορώ να σταματήσω να σκέφτομαι. Γιατί η Σάμερ δεν είναι απλώς άλλη μία κατάκτηση. Βλέπει τον άντρα πίσω από τη μάσκα και δεν το βάζει στα πόδια — με τραβάει πιο κοντά, ακόμη κι όταν δεν θα έπρεπε. Λέει ότι αυτό δεν σημαίνει τίποτα. Εγώ λέω ότι σημαίνει τα πάντα. Λέει ότι υπάρχουν όρια που δεν πρέπει να ξεπεράσουμε. Ότι η φήμη μου δεν αντέχει άλλα πλήγματα — ούτε η πληγωμένη καρδιά της. Εγώ λέω ότι έτσι κι αλλιώς θα της την κλέψω.

Vanessa Mazur knows she's doing the right thing. She shouldn't feel bad for quitting. Being an assistant/housekeeper/fairy godmother to the top defensive end in the National Football Organization was always supposed to be temporary. She has plans and none of them include washing extra-large underwear longer than necessary. But when Aiden Graves shows up at her door wanting her to come back, she's beyond shocked. For two years, the man known as The Wall of Winnipeg couldn't find it in him to tell her good morning or congratulate her on her birthday. Now? He's asking for the unthinkable. What do you say to the man who is used to getting everything he wants?

Riley Beckett met Gianna Mäkinen – drop\-dead gorgeous influencer, trilingual, daughter of world\-famous models, yes, that Gianna Mäkinen – their first year at Boston University, and it changed everything for the both of them. After all, when you find the person who just gets you, nothing feels quite "the same" right? And in the ten years since, Riley has come to depend on Gianna more than anyone else in her life. She knows Gianna just as well as she knows herself – maybe better, some days. She knows Gianna is incredibly sex\-positive, she knows Gianna doesn't do romance or relationships, and she knows nothing could ever come between them. This is what makes sense to her, all of this is status\-quo. But when a holiday party mix\-up sets in motion a domino effect of changes to these previously inalienable truths, Riley has to question everything she thought she knew about their relationship. What, exactly, does Gianna mean to her after all?

ASIN B086GM3R68 moved to the more recent edition Sutton Spencer’s ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling completely hopeless, that would be great too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite. She's always had clear steps outlining her path to success with no time or inclination for romance. Her burgeoning career in politics means everything to her and she’s not willing to compromise it for something as insignificant as love. Fleeting, casual, and discreet worked perfectly fine. When they meet through a dating app, it's immediately clear that they aren't suited for anything more than friendship. Right?
