      Divorcée Jasmine Mistry is intent on restarting her life when she gets the chance to do just that. A call from the past brings her home to Shelter Island, a green dot in the middle of Puget Sound, to run her beloved aunt's bookstore. The familiarity is heartening – the rocky beaches, pewter skies, country boutiques, and above all, Auntie’s Bookstore, nestled in a quaint Queen Anne Victorian, and believed, not incidentally, to be haunted. With that knowledge, Jasmine embarks on a mystical journey, urged along by her quirky family, guided by the highly emotional spirits of long-dead authors, and moved to heal her broken heart when she falls unexpectedly in love with an enigmatic young stranger. He knows about blurring the lines between truth and fantasy. In redefining the meaning of everlasting love, he urges Jasmine to reinvent herself in a place she calls home. All she has to do is close her eyes and say yes.

      A Roma nel I secolo d.C. cresce in forza un nuovo culto cristiano. Incontra l'ostilità dei cittadini, in particolare di un'associazione segreta chiamata Lemuri, una razza di uomini caratterizzati dalla mancanza di sentimenti superiori e da code ossee. Arriva in città l'apostolo Pietro, che scopre immediatamente un complotto volto a compromettere i suoi correligionari. L'insidiosa associazione, di cui fanno parte l'imperatore Nerone, il suo astrologo Barbillus e numerosi aristocratici, non si fermerà davanti a omicidi e persino all'incendio di Roma per raggiungere il proprio obiettivo. Si verifica uno scontro tra cristiani e Lemuri, che plasmerà per sempre le relazioni tra l'organizzazione segreta e la nascente Chiesa. Le conseguenze di questo conflitto si estenderanno in tutta Europa e influenzeranno i secoli a venire.

    • Racing from the remote, war-scarred landscapes of the Middle East to the blood-soaked chaos of the U.S.-Mexico border, #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Clancy delivers a heart-stopping thriller that is frighteningly close to reality. Working behind the scenes for the CIA, ex-Navy SEAL Maxwell Moore arrives at a rendezvous to take charge of a high-ranking Taliban captive and barely escapes with his life. Undaunted, Moore is relentless in his quest to find the terrorist cell responsible, but what he discovers leads him to a much darker conspiracy in an unexpected part of the globe... After years of planning, the Taliban have come to terms with a vicious Mexican drug cartel and agreed to supply them with opium. For the cartel, the deal means money, power, and ultimate control of the drug trade. But for the Taliban, it is a long awaited opportunity: to exploit the cartels and bring the fire of the jihad to the hearts of the infidels, striking against the very heart of America.
