Pestilence
Laura Thalassa • 2024
Los cuatro jinetes llegaron a la tierra montados en sus corceles, recorriendo cada rincón del mundo. Pestilence, War, Famine y Death tienen el poder de destruir a toda la humanidad y ese es su objetivo: acabar con todos nosotros.<br/><br/>Cuando Pestilence llega a la ciudad de Sara Burn, sabe que toda la gente a la que ama y conoce tiene la muerte asegurada, a menos que ella misma detenga al jinete de aspecto angelical. Y eso es exactamente lo que Sara tiene en mente cuando dispara a la bestia impía con su escopeta.<br/>Lástima que nadie le dijera que no se puede matar a un jinete.<br/>Para su desgracia, solo ha conseguido acabar prisionera de un jinete muy cabreado, ansioso por hacerla sufrir. Pero cuanto más tiempo pasa Sara con él, más insegura está sobre los sentimientos de Pestilence hacia ella… y de los suyos.<br/>Puede que Sara sea capaz de salvar la humanidad, pero para ello tendrá que sacrificar su corazón en el proceso.

Love, Theoretically
Ali Hazelwood • 2023
"The reigning queen of STEM romance."—The Washington Post<br/><br/>An Indie Next and Library Reads Pick!<br/><br/>Rival physicists collide in a vortex of academic feuds and fake dating shenanigans in this delightfully STEMinist romcom from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis and Love on the Brain.<br/><br/>The many lives of theoretical physicist Elsie Hannaway have finally caught up with her. By day, she’s an adjunct professor, toiling away at grading labs and teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of landing tenure. By other day, Elsie makes up for her non-existent paycheck by offering her services as a fake girlfriend, tapping into her expertly honed people-pleasing skills to embody whichever version of herself the client needs.<br/><br/>Honestly, it’s a pretty sweet gig—until her carefully constructed Elsie-verse comes crashing down. Because Jack Smith, the annoyingly attractive and arrogant older brother of her favorite client, turns out to be the cold-hearted experimental physicist who ruined her mentor’s career and undermined the reputation of theorists everywhere. And he’s the same Jack Smith who rules over the physics department at MIT, standing right between Elsie and her dream job.<br/><br/>Elsie is prepared for an all-out war of scholarly sabotage but…those long, penetrating looks? Not having to be anything other than her true self when she’s with him? Will falling into an experimentalist’s orbit finally tempt her to put her most guarded theories on love into practice?

I Hope This Doesn't Find You
Ann Liang • 2024
An instant New York Times bestseller! Snarky and romantic, I Hope This Doesn't Find You is Never Have I Ever meets To All the Boys I've Loved Before if Lara Jean wrote hate emails instead of love letters.<br/><br/>Sadie Wen is perfect on paper: school captain, valedictorian, and a "pleasure to have in class." It’s not easy, but she has a trick to keep her model-student smile plastered on her face at all times: she channels all her frustrations into her email drafts. She'd never send them of course -- she'd rather die than hurt anyone's feelings -- but it's a relief to let loose on her power-hungry English teacher or a freeloading classmate taking credit for Sadie's work.<br/><br/>All her most vehemently worded emails are directed at her infuriating cocaptain, Julius Gong, whose arrogance and competitive streak have irked Sadie since they were kids. "You're attention starved and self-obsessed and unbearably vain . . . I really hope your comb breaks and you run out of whatever expensive hair products you've been using to make your hair appear deceptively soft . . ."<br/><br/>Sadie doesn't have to hold back in her emails, because nobody will ever read them . . . that is, until they're accidentally sent out.<br/><br/>Overnight, Sadie’s carefully crafted, conflict-free life is turned upside down. It's her worst nightmare -- now everyone at school knows what she really thinks of them, and they're not afraid to tell her what they really think of her either. But amidst the chaos, there's one person growing to appreciate the "real" Sadie -- Julius, the only boy she's sworn to hate . . . .

Bride
Ali Hazelwood • 2024
#1 Indie Next Pick!<br/>A Hall of Fame LibraryReads pick!<br/>One of People’s Best Books to Read in February<br/><br/>A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha Werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis.<br/><br/>Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast—again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold a historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and she sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange—again...<br/><br/>Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It’s clear from the way he tracks Misery’s every movement that he doesn’t trust her. If only he knew how right he was….<br/><br/>Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what’s hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory…alone with the wolf.

Farsa de amor a la española
Elena Armas • 2022
Cuatro semanas no son demasiado para encontrar a alguien dispuesto a acompañarte a la boda de tu hermana al otro lado del Atlántico, y menos aún si tiene que fingir que te ama. Suena ridículo, sí, pero lo es aún más que Aaron Blackford, el compañero de trabajo al que Catalina no soporta, se ofrezca a hacerlo. Pero Lina está desesperada, y deberá sopesar qué es peor: aguantar a Aaron, con su aire petulante y sus ojos de hielo, o admitir a su familia que ha mentido y que es todo una farsa. Como diría su abuela: que Dios nos pille confesados.
