Charlie Braxton has it all: a wicked curveball, a beautiful wife, and the kind of money and attention that's attached to a professional baseball contract. Except his famous curveball comes with intense social anxiety, his wife is actually his soon-to-be ex-wife, and the money . . . Well, suffice it to say, he knows what it's like to be treated like an ATM. But at least he's better off than the new guy.

Three years ago, I divorced him. Took my broken heart and left. Now I'm back, asking for something so crazy he's almost guaranteed to say no. I met the love of my life when I was twenty. A simple collision of gazes and I fell hard. He caught me. Kept me. Protected me. Until a devastating loss tore us apart. Now, I need him again. Seth Isles may be built like a tank, with a track record that has made him one of the country's most sought-after MMA coaches, but to me he signifies security.

È il 1966, e l'estate pare essersi dimenticata delle Alpi, lasciando al suo posto piogge e temporali che inchiodano escursionisti e amanti delle cime negli alberghi e nei campeggi. L'arrampicatore californiano Gary Hemming - idealista, sfrontato e carismatico - guarda il Monte Bianco e freme: è venuto in Europa sull'onda dell'insaziabile fame di vita che da sempre lo incendia, e invece si ritrova un tetto di nuvole sopra la testa.

Un pugile con sei mani in un futuro distopico, un calciatore del campionato cadetto che sperimenta la peak experience, una giovanissima ginnasta dalla carriera incerta, un gruppo di vecchi giocatori di bocce in rivolta, un’insegnante di nuoto sincronizzato che attraversa lo Stretto di Messina, un talento del calcio sudamericano in lotta contro sé stesso, una generazione di nuotatori nella Romania di Ceausescu, un tennista disertore, una vecchia gloria del Milan che ripensa al suo passato, un’atleta curda e la sua squadra di ribelli.

Seventeen-year-old Bucky Yi knows nothing about his birth country of South Korea or his bio-dad's disappearance; he can't even pronounce his Korean name correctly. Running through the woods of rural Washington State with a tire tied to his waist, his sights are set on one all-American goal: to become a college football player. So when a misadventure with his adoptive family leads the US government to deport him to South Korea, he's forced to navigate an entirely foreign version of his life.

At a crossroads, my life a hot mess, I swiped right on the guy with the washboard abs and the tree-trunk thighs. His handle was Holt (yeah, really) but as soon as he opened the door, I recognized him: Hudson Grey, the hottest prospect in pro-hockey and apparently, secretly playing for my team. Not mind-blowing enough? He needed someone to punch his V-card, and I was only too happy to volunteer as tribute... Then he ghosted me when it got to be too much. A year later, my life is back on track and I’m a candidate firefighter at legendary Engine 6.

Ernesto Colnago ripercorre la sua storia (l'infanzia povera, le avventure come corridore, l'inizio dell'attività da garzone a operaio, la dura strada da meccanico ad artigiano, le creazioni da eccellenza del Made in Italy), la sua geografia (dai Giri d'Italia al seguito di Fiorenzo Magni ai Tour de France al servizio di Eddy Merckx, dai Mondiali di Vittorio Adorni e Giuseppe Saronni alle Olimpiadi non solo con l'Italia ma anche con la Russia), la sua scienza (l'età dell'acciaio, l'età dell'alluminio, l'età del carbonio), tra incontri (con Fausto Coppi, Gianni Brera, re Juan Carlos...) e folgorazioni (con Tullio Campagnolo, Enzo Ferrari, papa Wojtyla...).

I get up on the wrong side of the bed . . . every single day. They call me grumpy. A downer. Maybe even negative. But when your fiancee shatters your life into a million pieces it can take a while to heal. Enter Gwenivere. She's ethereal, hypnotic, and completely stunning. Everything that I'm not. The night she slips into the empty chair next to me during a night out with the team feels like the shutters being thrown open in a blackened room.

Addison Blakely should be happy. After all, so many items on her life list had checkmarks by them: self-sufficient and living on her own, enjoying life in DC with fantastic friends, happily single, and working at a professional job. So why isn't she? Addison knew life wasn't going to be like the Regency romances she devours. The pages of her own book weren't going to be filled with a dashing hero and a gorgeous romance. That wasn't reality. Or so she thought.

As a professional linebacker, I lived and breathed football. The only thing I loved as much as the game was my twin brother, Max, who kept me almost as busy cleaning up his messes. The most recent of which landed him behind bars. So, it shouldn't have surprised me when a beautiful woman showed up on my doorstep, claiming to be pregnant with Max's baby. Glory was unexpected, infuriating, and flat-out crazy most of the time. But no matter how hard I tried to deny it, that tiny spitfire slammed into my boring life with the strength of a Category 5 hurricane.
