"When five-year-old Evie O’Shea married her next-door neighbor in the wedding of the century, she had no idea she was swearing an oath to love the man who would grow into the bane of her existence until the end of time. Or that in ten years time, she’d start a long and winding journey to an eventual endometriosis diagnosis.
Now, aged twenty-six, Evie O’Shea lives in Paris, balancing precariously close to her Charlotte Lucas birthday. A burden to her parents, with no prospects and no money, Evie’s humdrum life needs a shake-up.
Enter Liam Kelly, the man Evie married at the age of five and promptly divorced at seven when he had the audacity to throw a muddy football at her while she was reading Eloise in Paris. Clad in a Henley and equipped with toned forearms and eye crinkles that rival Gene Kelly himself, Evie is determined to keep her ultimate temptation at a distance while she flails wildly navigating life, love, and endometriosis on the banks of the Seine.
But when a family announcement shakes up Evie’s world weeks before her brother’s wedding, Evie seeks Liam’s help to get through the wedding with some semblance of sanity intact.
Her request? Fake date.
Making a deal with the Devil always comes with a cost, though, and when Liam’s conditions which include elaborate backstories and practice dates, reignite passions her disease smothered long ago, Evie has to learn to fight for her dreams and break free from her life measured in ibuprofen pills and heating pad settings. Or else risk being alive but never truly living."
"Step into the occult underworld of Edwardian London with Aleister Crowley, a rebellious genius and aspiring magician, as he plunges into the secret society of the Golden Dawn.
The year is 1900, and this isn't just a new club; it's a war zone. Crowley, a world-class mountaineer and acclaimed poet, unwittingly arrives amidst a power struggle as formidable magicians revolt against their leaders, MacGregor Mathers and his wife, Moina Mathers.
Empowered by an ancient Arabic grimoire, the Mathers claimed contact with 'Secret Masters,' but now their influence is waning. As historical figures like William Butler Yeats and Bram Stoker populate the ranks, Crowley finds himself caught in a magical crossfire. His naive pursuit of enlightenment accidentally ignites an all-out wizard war with magical attacks recoiling upon his adversaries. Yet, aided by unseen forces, Crowley uncovers the interdimensional secrets of the ancient book, unleashing its power himself. This epic adventure culminates in a climactic magical showdown, where Crowley's self-realization becomes his ultimate weapon.
Between the darkness and the light stands Aleister Crowley."

"Generative AI has revolutionized how organizations tackle problems, accelerating the journey from concept to prototype to solution. As the models become increasingly capable, we have witnessed a new design pattern emerge: AI agents. By combining tools, knowledge, memory, and learning with advanced foundation models, we can now sequence multiple model inferences together to solve ambiguous and difficult problems. From coding agents to research agents to analyst agents and more, we've already seen agents accelerate teams and organizations. While these agents enhance efficiency, they often require extensive planning, drafting, and revising to complete complex tasks, and deploying them remains a challenge for many organizations.
This book is your indispensable guide through this intricate and fast-moving landscape. Author Michael Albada provides a practical and research-based approach to designing and implementing single- and multiagent systems.
- Discover the core components and design principles of AI agents
- Explore design trade-offs and implement effective multiagent systems
- Design and deploy tailored AI solutions, enhancing efficiency and innovation in your field"
"Companies like Dropbox, Zoom, Slack, Atlassian, and DocuSign grew into multibillion-dollar companies using the three-step 'Freemium' product strategy: (1) instead of hiring an expensive sales force, give away software for free; (2) let happy users tell others; (3) offer a premium subscription version, producing a recurring revenue stream. Over the last three decades, Freemium strategy has evolved into a practice known to tech industry insiders as 'product-led growth.'
Freemium is the authoritative guide to product-led growth, written by Silicon Valley entrepreneur and Harvard MBA Dave Boyce, who teaches the first MBA-level course on the topic. Freemium explains how to develop a product that can sell itself, how to ward off competitors, and how to seamlessly move upmarket, selling to larger customers. It details how the product itself (instead of expensive employees) can be used for customer onboarding, customer service, and customer retention. Freemium also details how non-software companies and enterprise sales-led companies are combining product-led growth tactics with more traditional go-to-market initiatives.
Competing in nearly every tech-related industry today requires an understanding of the principles of product-led growth. Freemium is the comprehensive, practical handbook for this unicorn-building strategy."
"A funny, heartbreaker of a novel about how (not) to kill your wife
Guy Pickering fell in love with Dorothy when they were just kids. Many years later, instead of enjoying their Florida retirement, he’s plotting ways to kill her. At her request.
Dorothy has received a terminal cancer diagnosis and has asked Guy to help end her suffering. But there’s a problem; he can’t imagine killing her, and can’t fathom living without her. So, Guy concocts a plan to deceive Dorothy with a fake terminal diagnosis of his own, hoping he can saunter through the pearly gates right beside his beloved.
This final romantic gesture goes awry with Guy’s repeated and clumsy attempts. Things are further complicated when a nosy neighbor gets suspicious and a rebellious teenage grandson unexpectedly arrives.
Romance meets comedy of errors in John Grayson Heide’s witty tale of marriage, death, and spectacularly bad timing. A bold and darkly optimistic contemplation of the things we’ll do for love, The Pickerings' Last Tango is as tender as it is twisted."
"The world has fallen into darkness . . .
. . . And Boston is ground zero for chaos.
After a devastating attack cripples America’s power grid and communication systems, Ryan, Siena, and Max set out on a desperate journey to Boston. But the city they find is nothing like they imagined.
Fires rage in the night, terrified families flee, and the streets are overrun with fear and violence. The military scrambles to contain the unrest while whispers of a hidden bomb spread panic through the city. For Ryan, time is running out. His survival hinges on finding medical help in a city collapsing under its own weight.
Every decision brings new dangers, and one wrong step could cost them everything. With tempers flaring and danger at every turn, the trio must navigate a warzone where the line between ally and enemy is razor–thin.
Will they find the help they need—or will Boston become their final stand?
Survival’s Edge is an unrelenting post-apocalyptic thriller filled with suspense, danger, and impossible choices. A disaster series perfect for fans of Kyla Stone, A.G. Riddle, Bobby Akart, Jack Hunt, and Ryan Schow."
"On the precipice of annihilation, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.
With the Earth in ruins from three catastrophic impacts, surviving the fallout was only the beginning. Unleashed from its celestial vector, the Prometheus Pathogen ravages those left behind, revealing how controlling life and death is a trait that will always be a driving force. As science advances, so does the threat of wielding that power.
Caught in the fight to access a potential cure, Kyle risks everything he has left to secure a future for his daughter, but the most lethal obstacles are those he can’t see coming. When lines are blurred, the way out may not always be straightforward.
Dallas has spent a lifetime navigating the unknown, though nothing could prepare her for the role she was to assume at the end of a civilization. Thrust into the chaos with an unlikely team, surviving will come down to her ability to trust and rely on the very thing she’s always feared.
The countdown hasn’t just begun; it’s rapidly reaching the end—the end of an epoch, the end of the human era. And it might already be too late to stop it."
"The perfect family. The perfect lie.
Mellie hasn't been home in over twenty years. Not since her parents and her brother Jacob died under mysterious circumstances. Not since she was left completely alone.
But the past isn't gone. It's waiting.
Her name appears in confidential files—alongside dozens of missing children. Her family's house holds hidden rooms, medical records, and surveillance equipment she was never meant to find. And someone is slipping inside at night, leaving things behind to remind her she isn't safe.
The deeper she digs, the more twisted the truth becomes.
Because her family's deaths were only the beginning.
And Mellie was never meant to walk away."
"An ancient killer has returned. This time, it will take us all.
Prometheus was more than an asteroid. It was a cosmological time capsule eons in the making, revealing that space is an even bigger mystery than could be fathomed.
As a paleoarchaeologist, Dallas was no stranger to ancient mysteries. But after witnessing the destruction of millions of lives, she’ll need more than determination to stop it from becoming billions. Broken, alone, and with nowhere else to turn, she teams up with an unlikely group destined to save mankind.
Kyle would never call himself a hero. As an astronomer working to keep the planet safe, he’ll forever question whether he could have somehow prevented the number of people lost. But he can still fight for his daughter and, in doing so, find a way to stop what’s been unleashed before nothing is left.
Except that in a world where power is the ultimate goal and the masses are considered expendable, human nature will prove to be the most significant obstacle they have to overcome.
Existential Threat is book 2 in The 6th Extinction, a Post-Apocalyptic trilogy from Tara Ellis! This series explores every facet of global disasters and how far people will go to survive. It's perfect for fans of Kyla Stone, Bobby Akart, Jack Hunt, and Ryan Schow.
Get it now!"
"Kate
Brody Kanfield. Messy, impulsive, and hot as hell in those lumberjack shirts. Nothing like the man I just left at the altar . . . Camden James Cartwright was the man my parents wanted me to marry. But Cam never truly loved me - he just loved the idea of me. Not like Brody, who brings out the fun, silly side of me that I thought I'd lost forever.
I'm not ready to go home to Chicago, so Brody and I make a pact to be roommates for a couple of weeks. The agreement might've worked if we weren't stuck in his house because of the blizzard. And if I could stop thinking about him when I'm all alone at night . . .
I think we might need a new plan, because I don't know how long I can keep being sensible Kate when he's looking at me like that . . .
Brody
Katelyn Millstone. The girl I rescued from the side of the road in the middle of a blizzard in her wedding dress. She seemed so uptight at first, not my type at all. But underneath all that makeup I could tell she was beautiful. And then I saw her in just a towel and suddenly I'm thinking all sorts of dirty thoughts . . .
Because not only is she super sweet and fun when she lets her hair down and we have snowball fights, but seeing her walking around in my shirts with nothing on underneath is getting me all hot and bothered.
She's only supposed to stay for a couple of weeks to help with the rent, but damn, I'm starting to wish she was staying for good . . ."
