Only in New York
Hannah is ready to put her broken heart behind her and start afresh.
So when a celebrity client offers to lend her a luxury penthouse apartment in New York City, Hannah jumps at the chance. But it turns out that balancing a new job and new neighbours is harder than Hannah imagined. With a troublesome – yet undeniably attractive – client making headlines for all the wrong reasons, and the secretive curmudgeon next door seemingly on a mission to get her out, Hannah has her hands full.
It’s going to take all her best PR tricks to win over each of these cynics. But it isn’t only their walls that begin breaking down. And as Hannah starts to open her own heart to all the possibilities the city has to offer, a chance at love might be closer than she thinks.
This is New York, after all.
Hannah è pronta a lasciarsi il cuore spezzato alle spalle e a ricominciare da capo.
Così, quando una cliente famosa le offre un lussuoso attico a New York, Hannah coglie al volo l’occasione. Ma si scopre che conciliare un nuovo lavoro e nuovi vicini è più difficile di quanto Hannah avesse immaginato. Con una cliente problematica – ma innegabilmente attraente – che finisce sui giornali per i motivi sbagliati, e il brontolone e riservato vicino di casa apparentemente in missione per farla uscire, Hannah ha le mani piene.
Ci vorranno tutti i suoi migliori trucchi da PR per conquistare ognuno di questi cinici. Ma non sono solo i loro muri a iniziare a crollare. E mentre Hannah inizia ad aprire il suo cuore a tutte le possibilità che la città ha da offrire, la possibilità di trovare l’amore potrebbe essere più vicina di quanto pensi.
Dopotutto, questa è New York.

The Full Nest
One family home. Three generations.
What could possibly go wrong? Carly loves her family. She really does. It’s just that now her three children are grown up, she thought it was her time.
Everyone talks about the empty nest and how difficult that can be. But Carly and her husband, Frank, have often fantasised about it – meals without arguments, conversation without shouting over the sound of the Xbox, holidays planned around the culture not the next adventure. But Carly’s nest is far from empty.
Her elderly dad needs more support and is moving in ‘temporarily’. On top of which, Carly’s son, Eddie, is far too comfortable at home – why go out and get a job, when your parents keep you fed and your clothes laundered? And just when Carly is starting to pull her hair out, Eddie drops a bombshell that changes everything. Is there room in the nest for one more? Fiona Gibson is back with her brilliantly funny novel about family, frustrations and finding yourself in the chaos.
Una casa di famiglia. Tre generazioni.
Cosa potrebbe mai andare storto? Carly ama la sua famiglia. Davvero. È solo che ora che i suoi tre figli sono cresciuti, ha pensato che fosse arrivato il suo momento.
Tutti parlano del nido vuoto e di quanto possa essere difficile. Ma Carly e suo marito Frank ci hanno spesso fantasticato sopra: pasti senza litigi, conversazioni senza urla per coprire il rumore della Xbox, vacanze pianificate in base alla cultura, non alla prossima avventura. Ma il nido di Carly è tutt’altro che vuoto.
Il suo anziano padre ha bisogno di più sostegno e si trasferisce “temporaneamente”. Oltre a ciò, il figlio di Carly, Eddie, si trova fin troppo bene a casa: perché uscire e cercarsi un lavoro, quando i tuoi genitori ti danno da mangiare e ti lavano i vestiti? E proprio quando Carly sta iniziando a strapparsi i capelli, Eddie lancia una bomba che cambia tutto. C’è posto nel nido per un altro? Fiona Gibson è tornata con il suo romanzo brillantemente divertente sulla famiglia, le frustrazioni e il ritrovarsi nel caos.

The Great Tales of Middle-earth Boxed Set : The Children of HuRin, Beren and LuThien & the Fall of Gondolin
Sixth and final in a series of collectible boxed sets celebrating the literary achievement of Christopher Tolkien. Set #6 presents hardback editions of the three ‘Great Tales’ of Middle-earth, printed in full colour and with new art in each, and housed in a matching slipcase decorated with stunning new artwork by the books’ artist, Alan Lee.
THE CHILDREN OF HÚRIN Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwells in the vast fortress of Angband in the North; and within the shadow of the fear of Angband, and the war waged by Morgoth against the Elves, the fates of Túrin and his sister will be tragically entwined.Their brief and passionate lives are dominated by the elemental hatred that Morgoth bears them as the children of Húrin, the man who dared defy him to his face. Against them Morgoth sends his most formidable servant, Glaurung, a powerful spirit in the form of a huge wingless dragon of fire, in an attempt to fulfil his curse and destroy the children of Húrin.
BEREN AND LÚTHIEN Deeply opposed to the marriage of Beren, a mortal man, to his daughter Lúthien, the great Elvish lord, Thingol, imposes an impossible task that Beren must perform before they might wed.Undaunted by Lord Thingol’s challenge, Beren and Lúthien embark on the supremely heroic attempt to rob Morgoth, the greatest of all evil beings, of a Silmaril, one of the hallowed jewels that adorn the Black Enemy’s crown.
THE FALL OF GONDOLIN Central to the enmity of two of the greatest Powers in the world – Morgoth and Ulmo – is the Elvish city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor largely refuse to support Ulmo.Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Túrin, the instrument of Ulmo’s designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out on the fearful journey to Gondolin, where he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon’s daughter, and their son is Eärendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo. Then Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs.
