Je näher ich Adrian kennenlerne, desto mehr Fragezeichen eröffnen sich mir. Ja, er respektiert meinen Wunsch nach Freiheit – und trotzdem fühle ich mich ein bisschen wie in einem Käfig. Zudem werde ich auf eine Art und Weise zu ihm hingezogen, die mir Gänsehaut beschert. Und da ist etwas in seinen dunklen Augen … ein Schmerz aus der Vergangenheit, der ihn immer wieder einzuholen scheint. Ob ich es bin, die ihm diesen nehmen kann?

It’s officially booty o’clock, I’m alone again in my kitchen choking down a slice of terrible chocolate cake…and I’m pretty sure I just got drunk texted by the man I have a ginormous crush on. I’ve been daydreaming about Eliot Hoffman’s dimples for two months, and even though I’m sure this was a mistake on his end, it doesn’t mean it’s not an opportunity on mine.

Ich, das einfache Hooters Girl, bin mit zwei scharfen Kerlen unterwegs, die sich in riesige Wölfe – oder Canicore, wie sie sich nennen – verwandeln können. Sitze mit ihnen in einem Auto und fahre Richtung Manhattan zu ihrem luxuriösen Penthaus, wo noch vier weitere solche Typen wohnen. Entweder bin ich gerade auf einem Trip, der mich in ein heißes Paralleluniversum befördert hat, oder aber das hier ist der Start in ein äußerst aufregendes Leben.

Tja, da bin ich nun, in einem luxuriösen Penthouse und lerne nach und nach Adrians Rudel kennen. Fünf Betas, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten – und die mein Interesse zugegebenermaßen jeder auf seine eigene Weise wecken. Doch erst gilt es noch, mich mit Adrian irgendwie zu arrangieren. Der Alpha ist zwar bemüht, sich um mich zu kümmern, aber so richtig wohl fühle ich mich trotzdem nicht in seiner Gegenwart.

Paul was reading a newspaper. Catherine was reading a novel. So begins Room on the Sea, André Aciman's scorching and elegiac love-story about a middle-aged man and woman who meet in the bullpen of jury selection and spend a sultry summer’s week trespassing ever further into each other's hearts. What begins as a flirtation quickly evolves into something deeper, something Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret - and with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question.

I didn't become the first female general manager in Major League Baseball without knowing how to handle a curveball. I make trades and close deals better than any other GM in the league. But when the arrogant billionaire offers me a contract I can't refuse, it seems like I've earned myself another fancy, although temporary title: wife.

What's more important—revenge . . . or the child you never knew you had? Jolie Chapman was my first love. Now she's my most bitter enemy. Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice . . . who am I kidding—I don't believe in second chances anymore. Tripp Montgomery was my first love. I gave him my innocence. Then he broke my heart. And I committed the ultimate betrayal. These Manhattan royals are out for revenge. Sweet, sweet revenge. But there's something they want more. Their daughter.
