NYHET fra Anna Stuart! Les den uforglemmelige romanen Jordmoren i AuschwitzAuschwitz, 1943: Da jeg holdt den nyfødte jenta i armene mine, lot jeg fingeren følge den svarte tatoveringen på låret hennes. Jeg ba til Gud om at dette tallet, som var identisk med morens fangenummer, en dag ville ville kunne ha kraft til å gjenforene en familie som var blitt revet fra hverandre av krigen.Inspirert av en utrolig, men sann historie om en kvinnes kamp for kjærlighet, håp - og livet - under grufulle omstendigheterDa Ana Kaminski blir dyttet gjennom porten til Auschwitz sammen med sin unge venninne Ester Pasternak, forstår hun at gode råd er dyre. For med hennes relativ høye alder er ikke fangevokterne overbevist om at hun kan være til nytte. Men Ana er jordmor, og med papirer som kan bevise det får hun og Ester, som assistenten hennes, armene tatovert med hvert sitt fangenummer og brakt til leirens fødeavdeling.En jordmor skal bistå den fødende med å bringe barnet trygt til verden, men forholdene i leiren gjør dette til en ufattelig prøvelse. For det er nemlig ikke meningen at mange av disse barna skal leve, og de få som gjør det, de sterkeste og med mest ariske trekk, blir plassert hos tyske familier.I dette helvete på jord får Ana et glimt av håp. Ana og Ester begynner å tatovere morens fangenummer et sted der det ikke er så synlig på den nyfødte, i håp om at mor og barn kan gjenforenes. For det går rykter om at krigen nærmer seg slutten.Men så legger Ana merke til kulen på Esters mage ...En aldeles hjerteskjærende og oppslukende roman om en kvinnes mot og besluttsomhet i en brutal og kaotisk verden.

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 New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis. 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 an historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange - again . . . 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 . . . 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.

Against the unforgiving landscape of a hospital, I fell in love with a mischievous, sun-eyed boy who became my only joy in that desolate place. That’s what made it all the more soul-crushing when he committed suicide in front of me. Since then, I've sworn never to love anyone again. With three exceptions: My friends, Sony, Neo, and Coeur, a little gang of rebellious, dying kids. Sony leads the charge with the air of freedom and only one lung to breathe it. Neo, a bad-tempered and wheel-chaired writer, keeps track of our great deeds from stealing to terrorizing our nurse. Coeur is the beautiful boy, the muscle, the gentle giant with a failing heart. Before death inevitably knocks down our doors, my thieves and I have one last heist planned. A great escape that will take us far from abusive parents, crippling loss, and the realities of our diseases. So what happens when someone else walks through the door? What happens when a girl joins our party and renders me speechless with her mischievous smile? What happens when she has suns in her eyes, and as terrified as I am to lose again, I start to fall? Trigger warnings found in foreword.
