Life can be a bitch but love can get you through any storm.
Madison Cole’s family is the Storm Motorcycle Club. Her father is the President and her brother is the VP. She grew up surrounded by bikers, crime and violence. Two years ago she walked away from her family and the world they live in. Her soul was shattered, her heart was broken and she had an addiction she couldn't shake. She picked up the pieces and put herself back together. Now her family wants her back. The club is being threatened and they send a club member to return her home to safety; the one person that could destroy everything she has worked so hard to build.
Jason Reilly has sacrificed a lot for the motorcycle club he calls family. Two years ago he made the biggest sacrifice of all; he gave up the woman he loved for them. Now he is being sent to bring her back and he is conflicted. He thought he was over her but discovers their connection is as strong as ever. Their love was all-consuming, passionate and fiery. It was also their undoing and he doesn't know if either of them is strong enough to battle the demons that ripped them apart, to find love again.
Madison and Jason are brought back together by a force out of their control; one that pushes them to a breaking point. Can they overcome their past and discover a love worth fighting for or will the harsh reality of their world finally and completely break them both?
Their love had the power of a runaway freight train, and the potential to be just as destructive.

Michael Koryta, con Esta noche digo adiós consigue algo insólito hoy en día: Un autor rozando la veintena escribe una novela policíaca al más puro estilo hard boiled sin caer en el déjà vu. Quizás sea porque los estereotipos nunca mueren, quizás porque lo clásico nunca muere, quizás porque Koryta es suficientemente inteligente como para combinar lo típico del hard boiled con otros aspectos de la novela negra y acaba tejiendo un argumento finalmente original: la mafia rusa en la pequeña Cleveland.
My name is Lily Gilmore, and I was supposed to be getting married today. That was until I found my fiancé having sex with my sister in the church moments before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. I grew up with a father who was a womanizer and cheated on my mother every moment he had the chance. He would even stoop as low as to take me and my sister with him on his trysts when we were younger. Cheating was all I grew up with, and I vowed never to live the life my mother did. After finding my fiancé and my sister together, I moved from Seattle to Santa Monica to start a new life of independence and to focus on my passion for photography, man-free.
My name is Luke Matthews. About a year ago, I lost the love of my life, my fiancé, in a tragic car accident. There are no words that can describe how I’ve felt the past year. My life and all my dreams had died with her in the accident. I exist, and I play my guitar to try and ease the pain. My love was taken away, and I will never get that back.
What happens when the lives of two people who no longer believe in love are suddenly changed by fate?
Lincoln Perry, acusado de asesinar al marido de su ex prometida, tendrá que demostrar su inocencia y descubrir al culpable.
La prometedora carrera como policía de Lincoln Perry y su vida amorosa acabaron en el instante en que este abandonaba el aparcamiento de un elitista club de campo dejando tras de sí la figura maltrecha y sangrante de Alex Jefferson, un abogado de éxito y amante de su prometida, Karen.
Ahora Jefferson está muerto y Lincoln es, obviamente, el primer sospechoso de la policía. A Karen, sin embargo, no parecen importarle las sospechas que alberga la policía sobre su ex y le hace un encargo delicado pero difícil de rechazar: encontrar al hijo descarriado de Jefferson, Matt, heredero de la fortuna del millonario.
A Lincoln, el caso le parece fácil y rutinario, basta con localizar a alguien que no quiere ser localizado, y el pago que ofrece Karen es muy tentador. Lincoln se imagina que el encuentro consistirá en informar a Matt de la muerte de su padre y de la cuantiosa herencia que le corresponde, murmurar fingidas palabras de pésame, subir a la furgoneta y volver a casa. No obstante, el único vehículo que va a pisar Lincoln después de localizar por fin a Matt es un coche de policía.
Esta intrigante novela es un reflejo de lo lejos que puede llegar un hombre desesperado para limpiar su nombre y resolver un crimen.
Shangai, 1938: Walter Neumann acaba de llegar a la metrópolis china en un barco de refugiados que huyen de la Europa nazi. Esta ciudad es el único destino del mundo que no requiere visado, por lo que cientos de alemanes y austríacos llegan cada día a ella, escapando de una muerte segura, y se suman a una variopinta colonia europea. El protagonista, acosado por la miseria y la frustración, recala en el Wiener Café, donde ejerce de camarero y pianista y donde conoce a Feng-si, una hermosa china de equívoca vida, de quien se enamora. Desde ese punto de partida, Walter inicia un recorrido asombroso por las maravillas y sombras de una ciudad llena de contrastes. A través de las bulliciosas calles de Shangai, una extraordinaria historia coral en la que los sentimientos más intensos —el amor, la desesperación y la fe— son el contrapunto de la más áspera lucha por la supervivencia y se convierten en los auténticos protagonistas de esta entrañable novela.
Through the centuries, Russia has swung sharply between successful expansionism, catastrophic collapse, and spectacular recovery. This illuminating history traces these dramatic cycles of boom and bust from the late Neolithic age to Ivan the Terrible, and from the height of Communism to the truncated Russia of today.
Philip Longworth explores the dynamics of Russia’s past through time and space, from the nameless adventurers who first penetrated this vast, inhospitable terrain to a cast of dynamic characters that includes Ivan the Terrible, Catherine the Great, and Stalin. His narrative takes in the magnificent, historic cities of Kiev, Moscow, and St. Petersburg; it stretches to Alaska in the east, to the Black Sea and the Ottoman Empire to the south, to the Baltic in the west and to Archangel and the Arctic Ocean to the north.
Who are the Russians and what is the source of their imperialistic culture? Why was Russia so driven to colonize and conquer? From Kievan Rus’—the first-ever Russian state, which collapsed with the invasion of the Mongols in the thirteenth century—to ruthless Muscovy, the Russian Empire of the eighteenth century and finally the Soviet period, this groundbreaking study analyzes the growth and dissolution of each vast empire as it gives way to the next.
Refreshing in its insight and drawing on a vast range of scholarship, this book also explicitly addresses the question of what the future holds for Russia and her neighbors, and asks whether her sphere of influence is growing.
Koltsov, corresponsal extraordinario de Pravda en España, fue testigo ocular de los acontecimientos que narra. Estrechamente ligado a la política contemporánea del partido comunista ruso y periodista fuera de lo común, unió a una gran valentía personal dotes políticas y militares excepcionales, una innegable profundidad de análisis y una lengua exacta y poética. Su papel en España fue mucho más importante que el que se puede esperar de un simple corresponsal de guerra, y sus actividades le situaron en más de una ocasión en el plano más elevado de la acción política.
Su maravillosa fuerza descriptiva es patente en los pasajes más duros del Diario: la muerte de Lukacs, la conversación con el aviador moribundo, el tanquista herido, el asalto frustrado al Alcázar... Pero nada supera, sin duda, la maestría de los retratos de Koltsov. Su pluma arranca los rasgos esenciales de los nombres más significativos del campo republicano: Largo Caballero, Durruti, Alvarez del Vayo, Rojo, Malraux, García Oliver, Kleber, La Pasionaria, Casares Quiroga, Líster, Checa, Aguirre, José Díaz, junto a gentes de importancia menos señalada, con frecuencia anónimas: oficiales, soldados, mujeres, niños... Es éste, en definitiva, un documento literario y político de un periodo crucial —1936-1937—, que ayuda no sólo a revivirlo sino a comprenderlo.
Presentado como un «Nocturno para dos voces», este relato contrapone la fina textura poética de una voz que recorre un paisaje urbano con una narración en primera persona de la represión en la dictadura estalinista. La llaneza y la espontaneidad, despojadas de cualquier carga moral, con que un antiguo agente de la policía política evoca sus andanzas en los años del terror, dan vida con mano maestra a un espacio en el que el lector advertirá la facilidad con que a menudo se desdibujan las fronteras del mal. Como en todos los relatos de Kuráyev—uno de los más importantes narradores rusos contemporáneos—, en esta Ronda Nocturna se describe con excepcional talento un mundo impenetrable y hermético en el que lo ingenuo convive con lo feroz, consiguiendo así traer a la luz la oscura y asfixiante atmósfera del estalinismo.
In his sensational new book, Economist senior editor Edward Lucas lays bare the naïveté, hypocrisy and sinister background surrounding Edward Snowden, the fugitive American intelligence contractor now living in Moscow. “The Snowden Operation”, demolishes Snowden’s claim to be a whistleblower. Drawing on 30 years’ experience observing the world of intelligence, Lucas depicts Snowden as at best reckless and naïve, and at worst a saboteur. He stole far more secrets than were necessary to make his case and did so in a deliberately damaging matter. Any benefits to the public debate about issues such as meta-data and encryption are far outweighed by the damage done to the West’s security, diplomacy and economic interests.
“The Snowden Operation” highlights the inconsistencies and puzzles in the account of events given by the “Snowdenistas”. It explains how Russia could have sponsored Snowden’s data heist — the greatest disaster ever to hit Western intelligence, and one whose effects have neatly suited Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
