Sarah, eine wildfremde Frau, kontaktiert Frank-Michael über das Internet. Er verheimlicht nicht, dass er verheiratet ist. Sarah steuert das Gespräch schnell in eine eindeutig-zweideutige Richtung und bettelt dann um Geld. Wie würden Sie reagieren? Blockieren und löschen. Aber dann wäre diese Geschichte zu Ende gewesen, bevor sie überhaupt begann. Junge Frauen fühlen sich heutzutage ermächtigt über ihr Smartphone wildfremde Männer auf der ganzen Welt für ihre Zwecke zu benutzen. Liebe, Lust und Leidenschaft sind schnell zusammengedichtet. Aber niemand kann wissen, ob die Frau wirklich nackt und willig auf ihrem Bett liegt oder gerade im Supermarkt die Wochenendeinkäufe erledigt. Letztlich heißt das perfide Geschäftsmodell „Verkaufe eine Phantasie“. Damit lässt sich die Haushaltskasse mühelos um hunderte, wenn nicht tausende Euros füllen. Sofern sich der Mann am anderen Ende der Leitung darauf einlässt. Frank-Michael ist das wohl bewusst. Ursprünglich wollte er einfach nur den Spieß umdrehen und schauen, wie lange er Sarah hinhalten kann. Ein kurzer, unverfänglicher Spaß. Aber schnell werden die Chats der beiden intensiver und interessanter. Aus dem anfänglichen Spiel entwickelt sich eine heiße Online Affäre. Aber wer verführt hier wen und zu welchem Zweck? *** Sarah, a complete stranger, contacts Frank-Michael over the internet. He doesn't hide the fact that he is married. Sarah quickly steers the conversation in a clearly ambiguous direction and then begs for money. How would you react? Block and delete. But then this story would have been over before it even began. Young women today feel empowered to use their smartphones to use complete strangers all over the world for their own purposes. Love, lust and passion are quickly made up. But nobody can know whether the woman is really lying naked and willing on her bed or is just doing her weekly shopping at the supermarket. Ultimately, the perfidious business model is called "Sell a fantasy". Once enough men are hooked, the household budget can be easily filled up by hundreds, even thousands of euros. The phenomenon is not new. But thanks to modern technology and social media, it is becoming increasingly easier for these women to find new victims. Frank-Michael is well aware of this. Originally he just wanted to turn the tables and see how long he could hold Sarah off before she broke off contact in frustration. But the chats between the two quickly became more intense and exciting. What started out as a game to pass the time developed into a hot online affair. Playing with provocative texts, revealing photos and imagination can quickly become dangerous. But who is seducing whom and for what purpose?

In Tessa Bailey's latest rom-com, two enemies team up to flip a house... and the sparks between them might burn the place down or ignite a passion that neither can ignore! Hair, makeup, clothing, decor... everything in Bethany Castle's world is organized, planned, and styled to perfection. Which is why the homes she designs for her family's real estate business are the most coveted in town. The only thing not perfect? Her track record with men. She's on a dating hiatus and after helping her friends achieve their dreams, Bethany finally has time to focus on her own: flip a house, from framework to furnishings, all by herself. Except her older brother runs the company and refuses to take her seriously. When a television producer gets wind of the Castle sibling rivalry, they're invited on Flip Off, a competition to see who can do the best renovation. Bethany wants bragging rights, but she needs a crew and the only member of her brother's construction team willing to jump ship is Wes Daniels, the new guy in town. His Texas drawl and handsome face got under Bethany's skin on day one, but the last thing she needs is some cocky young cowboy in her way. As the race to renovate heats up, Wes and Bethany are forced into close quarters, trading barbs and biting banter as they remodel the ugliest house on the block. It's a labor of love, hate, and everything in between, and soon sparks are flying. But Bethany's perfectly structured life is one kiss away from going up in smoke and she knows falling for a guy like Wes would be a flipping disaster.

In the tempestuous closing decades of the sixteenth century, the Empire of Japan writhes in chaos as the shogunate crumbles and rival warlords battle for supremacy. Warrior monks in their armed citadels block the road to the capital; castles are destroyed, villages plundered, fields put to the torch. Amid this devastation, three men dream of uniting the nation. At one extreme is the charismatic but brutal Nobunaga, whose ruthless ambition crushes all before him. At the opposite pole is the cold, deliberate Ieyasu, wise in counsel, brave in battle, mature beyond his years. But the keystone of this triumvirate is the most memorable of all, Hideyoshi, who rises from the menial post of sandal bearer to become Taiko--absolute ruler of Japan in the Emperor's name. When Nobunaga emerges from obscurity by destroying an army ten times the size of his own, he allies himself with Ieyasu, whose province is weak, but whose canniness and loyalty make him invaluable. Yet it is the scrawny, monkey-faced Hideyoshi--brash, impulsive, and utterly fearless--who becomes the unlikely savior of this ravaged land. Born the son of a farmer, he takes on the world with nothing but his bare hands and his wits, turning doubters into loyal servants, rivals into faithful friends, and enemies into allies. In all this he uses a piercing insight into human nature that unlocks castle gates, opens men's minds, and captures women's hearts. For Hideyoshi's passions are not limited to war and intrigue-his faithful wife, Nene, holds his love dear, even when she must share it; the chaste Oyu, sister of Hideyoshi's chief strategist, falls prey to his desires; and the seductive Chacha, whom he rescues from the fiery destruction of her father's castle, tempts his weakness. As recounted by Eiji Yoshikawa, author of the international best-seller Musashi, Taiko tells many stories: of the fury of Nobunaga and the fatal arrogance of the black-toothed Yoshimoto; of the pathetic downfall of the House of Takeda; how the scorned Mitsuhide betrayed his master; how once impregnable ramparts fell as their defenders died gloriously. Most of all, though, Taiko is the story of how one man transformed a nation through the force of his will and the depth of his humanity. Filled with scenes of pageantry and violence, acts of treachery and self-sacrifice, tenderness and savagery, Taiko combines the panoramic spectacle of a Kurosawa epic with a vivid evocation of feudal Japan.
