nothing 3a

Recently widowed Serena MacDonald Stewart focuses on her children to the exclusion of her career, her art, and her sanity. When her brothers ask her to oversee the family guest house on the Isle of Skye, it's a chance to dust off her long-ignored business skills and make a new start. But her hopes for a smooth transition are dashed when the hotel manager, Malcolm Blake, turns out to be irritating, condescending . . . and incredibly attractive. Malcolm Blake gave up everything--his home, his girlfriend, and his career--to return to Skye and raise his late sister's teenage daughter. With few job opportunities available on the island, he signs on as the manager of the MacDonald family hotel, which he's soon running successfully without interference from the owners. That is, until Serena shows up, challenging his authority and his conviction that there's nothing missing from his new life on Skye. Before long, Serena and Malcolm have to admit the spark between them is more than mere irritation. But as single parents, there's more on the line than their own hearts. Will their commitment to family be the thing that draws them together or the only thing that could keep them apart?

What do you get when you mix romance, rivalry, and a little too much magic? A hilarious tangle of love spells, family drama and supernatural mishaps-packed into three sparkling romcom novelettes.

Book Two puts Aunt Edwina centre stage, where juggling high-stakes coven politics, killer outfits, and the possibility of true love proves trickier than any potion. And in the laugh-out-loud finale, a brand-new heroine who's always lived in the background finally gets her turn in the spotlight-proving that magic, like romance, has a wicked sense of humour. Short, sharp and utterly charming, The Witches of London Trilogy shows that in love-and in witchcraft-nothing ever goes quite to plan.

The third Al-Athafi, written by Saud Hamoud Al-Saedi... The stories told by the shepherds say that Shish was lowered into the depth of the Al-Humaijah Well and there it turned into a spring of fresh water. Another says that a god ascended to the top of Mount Hira, and from the window of the cave he looked at the vast horizon and saw the history of the world passing in caravans that only showed their tops like mountains pointing up to the sky. From that mountainous east he saw all the specters of the coming time. It is said that in every flash he sees momentous events, but he does not know it. Like her, but her features are not clear. She told him the profit was true, and Rashid left the savagery when I left them in succession. She told him with fleeting boldness that the rain that revived the reefs was a cosmic event after which the features of the Earth changed. The savage was not alone, nor were they dead in the envelope of the Grand Valley. The overwhelming rain was a new time other than the time that I deposited in the grave of your friend. Do you still remember a page? He became clear and began to listen closely to what was being said about the city. The calls that passed through its hidden veins were nothing but the ghost of Ubaish, who had grown old that night and then left forever. He had left and had not yet recovered himself, so he remained in his wake, wrinkled and desolate, until he left the hills.

Lady Antonia Kerrigan could speak to animals, and they could speak to her. But nothing could have surprised her more than when she met a very charming wolf, especially since they were believed to be extinct in England. All he asked was for a temporary spell, to make him human for a day. Antonia had not agreed, yet that did not stop her from reviewing her great-grandmother's spell book to see if it was even possible. Unfortunately, she read the wrong spell, but at least nobody was around who could have been harmed. When Philip Cardwell, Viscount Chedworth saw Lady Antonia sneak off near midnight, he followed. He wasn't certain what he'd find, but it wasn't her sitting in the magical garden reading from a book. As he came from a family of witches, he knew better than to ask, so left her in peace. However, when strange things began happening to his body each midnight, she was the first person he confronted. Antonia had not even completed the spell, so how could Chedworth be affected? Of course, none of that mattered because if she did not find a way to reverse it by the next full moon...well, she did not even want to contemplate the repercussions. But one thing was certain, no doubt Chedworth would hate her, especially if she did not free him, and he was the only man she had ever loved.

When seventeen-year-old Patrick Roman is offered a scholarship to a top hockey preparatory school, he thinks maybe his notorious bad luck has finally ended. With a hearing for his legal emancipation on the horizon, he dreams of getting scouted and securing a place on a D1 college team. There's only one problem: Roman has serious beef with his new winger on the team, Damien Bordeaux. They're supposed to be perfectly in sync on the ice. But Roman, with his buzzcut and tattoos, has nothing in common with trust-fund-kid Damien, his floral scrunchies, and designer T-shirts that cost more than all of Roman's secondhand hockey gear combined. When eighteen-year-old Damien Bordeaux starts his senior year, he tells himself he's going to focus on hockey and school. No more making out in the stacks, no more dorm parties. He needs to decide what his future will look like. Does he pursue his long-held dream of becoming an author? Or stay in his lane and do what he's good at: hockey. Regardless, he's not going to let any pretty boys distract him from figuring his shit out. Except his new center, Roman, is possibly the most beautiful boy Damien has ever seen. And his hockey-the way he moves on the ice-might be even more beautiful. Too bad he's also probably a homophobic, racist asshole. But their antagonistic beginning turns into an unlikely friendship and then turns into something much scarier for them both. Navigating relationships is hard enough for normal teenagers. It's a lot harder when contending with lawyers, NHL scouts, and mutual past trauma. Roman and Damien have to decide: What do they really want in life? Are they willing to fight for each other-including fighting against their own pasts and prejudices-so they can have a happy ending?
