Corban Addison’s riveting suspense debut pulls back the veil on one of the most profound human rights issues of our day: human trafficking. After their coastal town in India is wiped out by a tsunami, two sisters are abducted and sold into the global underground sex trade. Meanwhile, half a world away, a D.C. attorney makes it his life’s work to end this dehumanizing practice.

Dal maestro della narrativa d'avventura, un romanzo appassionante sul destino e la brutalità della natura umana. Un'eredità rubata. Un amore proibito. Una sete di vendetta così bruciante che potrebbe distruggere ogni cosa. Figlio di un influente proprietario terriero della Virginia, Mungo St John ha sempre dato per scontati la ricchezza e il lusso in cui è vissuto grazie ai privilegi di cui godeva la sua famiglia. Finché non riceve la notizia che il padre è morto.

J’ai lâché le volant une fraction de seconde seulement. Juré. Je ne l’ai pas fait exprès. Pas que je m’en sois voulu, de toute manière. J’étais plutôt indifférente. Sauf que ça allait m’occasionner davantage de problèmes. Je l’ai senti à l’instant où ma voiture a fait une embardée vers la droite. Vers ce piéton qui ne m’a jamais vue venir. Non mais, que fabriquait-il là, aussi, en plein milieu de la nuit?

Des enfants qui foulent le terrain pour la première fois. Des amitiés qui se tissent. Des potins, des rencontres et des cafés glacés. Une mère qui espère oublier son passé. Une autre qui a du mal à faire confiance de nouveau. Des attirances impossibles à nier. Quelques problèmes d'ex, de coach et de logement. Un papa mauvais perdant. Des trahisons, des mensonges et de la tricherie. Ouf ! Par chance, l'amour réussit toujours à tracer son chemin...

Retour à la case zéro.Maélie n'est plus sûre de rien. L'homme qu'elle croyait être son père n'était qu'un leurre. Sa mère n'a pas tout dit. A sûrement menti. Elle avait ses raisons, il faut croire. Alors comment connaître la vérité? Comment percer ce nouveau mystère?

Maélie sait maintenant qui est son père. Elle en connaît un peu plus sur le passé de ses parents. Pourtant, il lui reste encore tant de choses à apprendre.... L'énergie lui manque, et tout ce qu'elle voudrait, c'est retourner chez ses parents adoptifs pour se reposer. Mettre sa vie sur pause. Ne plus penser à rien. Mais ce n'est pas elle qui prend les décisions. Maélie a plus souvent qu'autrement l'impression de n'être qu'une marionnette forcée de se plier aux règles qui lui sont imposées.

Elle porte son pantalon de pyjama pour aller en classe (pas le choix, tous ses vêtements ont été déchirés par la sécheuse de son oncle). Elle peut passer des soirées entières à fouiner sur Pinterest (ce qu'on peut faire avec des pots Mason, c'est fou!). Ce qui l'inquiétait le plus quand elle est entrée en première secondaire, c'était de savoir comment elle allait réussir à déverrouiller le cadenas de son casier (et surtout, comment elle allait faire pour mémoriser la combinaison!).

Chelsea didn't mind being a club girl. Who wouldn't want a group of possessive alpha males on your side and in your bed? The freedom and the lifestyle allowed her to spread her wings while the rules and bylaws kept everyone in line. It was comfortable - safe. But while her head told her she was happy, her heart reminded her constantly of what she really wanted - Brothers by Blood President, Optimus. He was a brooding asshole who was sexy, loyal and pushed the boundaries of both her body and her mind. He never let her all the way in, but she still couldn't stay away from him.

Allison and James Price move to the navy-blue forests of Concordia, Idaho, hoping to leave behind the chaos of Los Angeles and the painful memories of his indiscretions. Once settled in the picturesque town, where time seems to have stalled and life moves at a slower pace, their six-year-old daughter, Reagan, befriends a mysterious young girl who seems too idyllic to be true with her pressed pinafores and perfectly curled pigtails. One late autumn evening, as their playdate winds down, both girls vanish into thin air.

The Bible uses the word Christian to describe followers of Jesus a grand total of three times. But there's another identifier that fills the pages of the New Testament - a word we've mistakenly reserved for the halo-wearing elite, losing something profound in the process: saints. Wrapped in this ancient word is a divine invitation to discover who God created you to be and awaken to the life you were meant to know. Using Scripture and stories from his own experience, Addison Bevere makes a compelling case that the life you desire is found in the mystery of this sacred identity.

For Blizzard, the feeling of betrayal was one he knew well. His father, a member of the Brothers by Blood MC, believed the brotherhood came first, even before his wife and child. At first Blizzard didn't even blame his mother for walking out on them. That was until he learned that she'd hooked up with a member of another MC, leaving him behind to deal with the aftermath. He never thought he would feel that kind of pain again. That was until Rose came along, tempting him, drawing him in and then leaving him on the sidewalk, fighting for his life as she walked away with the enemy.

Harmony makes no excuses for who she is or what she's done. For the past few years she's been living as a club girl for the Brothers by Blood MC. She respects the club, respects the men and she follows the rules. Watching the men walk in and out of her life is strangely comforting, and a feeling she's grown accustomed to. With a history of disappointments and false promises, all she wants is to have fun, play music, and finish college. Being associated with the club, she can do that without having to risk her heart. That was until he showed up.

Let's explore together to discover our faith and learn how to be healthier, stronger, more impactful Christians! Along the way, we'll live rebelliously, engage in subversion and challenge long-standing truisms. This is a Constructionist podcast; we don't tear down to rebuild. Instead, we unravel the existing mystery in the Word of God by asking the questions that help us construct our understanding. Grab a hot drink, tie on your headband, pull up your hood and grab a seat in the lounge!

Emile : Tu ris de mes jokes plates, tu me regardes quand tu penses que je m’en rends pas compte, tu demandes toujours aux autres où je suis… Moi : Comment tu sais que… Emile (en me coupant la parole) : Parce que moi aussi, je fais pareil. Moi aussi, je te surveille, je t’observe pis je te cherche des yeux quand j’arrive dans une pièce. Moi aussi je pense à toi dès que je me lève et je rêve de toi quand je me couche. Moi aussi je m’inquiète de savoir comment tu vas, je m’assure que tu es correcte et je me retire quand t’as besoin d’espace et d’air.

Moi : T’as bu ?! Colin (en se redressant et en faisant un pas vers l’arrière) : Ouais, et alors ? Moi : Mais tu disais que tu pouvais pas, à cause de ta tête. Colin : Ma tête va mieux. Et je bois si je veux. Pis j’ai juste pris une bière, de toute façon, pas de quoi capoter.

On aurait pu trouver une solution ensemble. Papa (en soupirant) : Ton compte en banque est vide, Dylane. Je vois mal comment tu aurais réussi à payer mes dettes. Moi (en relevant la tête, insultée) : Il est pas vide !!! Papa (en haussant un sourcil) : Ah non ? Il y a combien dedans, alors ? Vingt gros dollars ?

Je pense qu’il voudrait qu’on soit officiellement un couple, mais… je ne suis pas prête pour sa. Je viens à peine de sortir d’une relation super longue avec Colin.

The move leads her to family secrets and an infuriating, and inconveniently sexy, contractor. She goes for the money, but will she stay for something deeper?

Aleksandra Daniels is settling into her new home in Bellamy Bay, North Carolina. She loves her apothecary job, and is enjoying getting to know her boyfriend, local detective Jack Frazier. But she’s still trying to figure out her magical powers. Leaves are changing, pumpkins are being picked, and the small coastal town is caught in the excitement of the approaching Oktoberfest. Alex’s friend Pepper is more excited by the anniversary of a cold case she’s helping her boss, Jonah, investigate.
