<b>'Sworn enemies, dazzling magic and delicious romantic tension make this a witty, wonderful gem'</b> Sangu Mandanna, author of <i>The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches</i><br/><br/><b>In this swoony, witty and heart-stoppingly romantic sequel to instant <i>Sunday Times</i> and <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy</i>, the stakes are high, the love is forbidden and the slow burn turns steamy.</b><br/><br/>Osric is a member of the Fyren Order, a guild of assassins who gleefully murder for money. Aurienne is a Haelan, a scholar-healer whose Order's motto is <i>Harm to none</i>. Clear-cut absolutes separate them: good and bad, right and wrong, light and dark -<br/><br/>Until they don't. <br/><br/>When Osric first bribed Aurienne to heal him, he never imagined those lines would begin to blur. But every healing session draws the two of them closer together. He finds himself developing unwanted feelings for Aurienne as her capable hands heal his body - and his heart. <br/><br/>Aurienne's perfect life has been flung into chaos in the form of a devastatingly handsome assassin. She should be in her research lab, not illicitly healing a Fyren every full moon - nor wrestling an attraction to him that threatens to slip into something else. <br/><br/>Things go superbly sideways when Osric and Aurienne discover more about the deadly Pox deliberately unleashed through the Tiendoms. The plague may be the work of another Order - an Order far nastier than either of them can handle.<br/><br/>As the lines between Osric and Aurienne continue to blur, the balance between peace and war and love and hate trembles, shifts, and hinges on a heartbeat.<br/><br/><b>Tropes include:</b><br/>Forced collaboration<br/>Forbidden love<br/>Denied attraction<br/>Majoring in Yearnalism<br/>Semi-public s*x and other words not in the Bible<br/>Rated E for E*ting Her Out<br/><br/>Praise for Dearly Beloathed duology:<br/><br/><b>'Utterly unique, hilarious, swoony beyond my wildest dreams!

<b>"Pons writes romance that burns with heart, humor, and spectacular heat. I'm obsessed with this!" -Elena Armas, New York Times bestselling author of The Spanish Love Deception </b><br/><br/><b>"THE romance book of 2026." -Sara Cate, New York Times bestselling author of the Salacious Players' Club</b><br/><br/><b>For fans of MM romances like Heated Rivalry and The Entanglement of Rival Wizards, a sexy Hades-inspired gay rom-com, in which the former god of the Underworld turned grumpy funeral director must find a loophole in the Immortal Retirement Act that banished him to Earth, until the florist next door begins to unravel all his carefully laid plans.</b><br/><br/>Hope is a dangerous thing for gods. Even former ones. <br/><br/>Hayden Harlow, once the mighty Hades, has spent centuries quietly resenting his fall from immortality.

Still, he's determined to claw his way back...if only the Fates at City Hall would stop toying with him. <br/><br/>Enter Levi Wilder: a florist with an artist's heart, an infectious smile, and a gift for finding beauty in life's messiest moments. When Hayden storms into Levi's shop to complain about a bouquet of sunflowers-an offensive choice for a funeral, in his opinion-their worlds collide. Hayden is all restraint and shadows; Levi is all sunshine and charm. But beneath the clash lies an undeniable spark neither can ignore. <br/><br/>As their connection blossoms, Hayden finds himself caught between the life he once knew and the bright future Levi dares him to imagine. But trusting Levi means risking the walls he's kept in place all these years-and it's not just his heart on the line. Because in the threads of fate, one choice can change everything.

The Roman Empire stretches from the wilds of Britain to the deserts of Parthia. Nero is god of all he surveys. Yet dangerous traitors lie close at hand. Generals commanding legions. Senators whispering in corridors. The people cheer in the circus - but curse him in the streets. As word of Nero's cruelties and corruption spreads, they spark trouble in the north - Queen Boudicca revolts - and the ever unruly Gauls rebel. Nero's empire is aflame.

<i>Ghost Stories</i> is Siri Hustvedt's most personal work yet, a searing and intimate meditation on grief, memory, and enduring love, written in the aftermath of the death of her husband, writer, poet and filmmaker Paul Auster.<br/><br/>It is a patchwork-quilt book that stitches together memories from over forty years of love and life together: journal entries Siri wrote between early November 2023, when Paul first became ill, and 3 May 2024, the day of his funeral; e-mails Siri sent to friends during Paul's cancer treatment; notes Paul sent her over the course of their relationship; and three love letters Siri wrote to him in 1981, when he left her for a period of nine or ten days to return to his former life with his first wife and son.<br/><br/>The book also contains Paul Auster's last ever piece of writing - the first thirty-five pages of what he hoped would be a small book of letters to Siri's and his grandson, Miles Auster Hustvedt Ostrander, born on 1st January 2024. <br/><br/>The result is an emotional, full-bodied story of Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster's life together, an exploration of how grief unmoors time and how the intimacy of a shared life continues to mark the everyday. Part memoir, part philosophical inquiry, <i>Ghost Stories</i> is unflinching, tender, and wise. It is a story of a woman haunting her own life, and the ghosts that inhabit us even as we carry on.
