Entre la France et la Sicile, XIXe siècle. Madeline et Mélanie Meilox, deux soeurs originaires de Laval, vont voir leur destin bouleversé par une toile. Un nu. Sublime, sensuel et vrai. Le Rolla d'Henri Gervex. La première pour avoir été reconnue comme la muse qui a inspiré l'artiste, l'autre pour l'avoir réellement été. Dans un 19ème encore puritain, le scandale éclate. De la butte Montmartre aux collines de la Sicile de Garibaldi, des chuchotements les suivent et la révolution des cœurs gronde.

1879, Ornella, la cousine par alliance des soeurs Meilox, fuit la Sicile. Elle veut vivre son rêve américain. Accompagnée de sa dame de compagnie, elle n'hésite pas à franchir l'Atlantique et à retrouver une partie de sa famille ayant immigré des années auparavant à New York. Cette ville l'intrigue et la fascine, des beaux quartiers aux quais de l'Hudson. Sans compter sur un sombre personnage aux allures de voyou des docks, malgré l'élégant costume qu'il porte, et dont le regard lui brûle la peau: Gabriele Orsini.

Do you sometimes feel as if you're just going through the motions in life? Are you good at looking and acting as if you're fine, but secretly feel lonely and disconnected? If so, you are not alone. The world is full of people who have an innate sense that something is wrong with them - who feel they live on the outside looking in, but have no explanation for this feeling and no way to put it into words.

Deux reines. Une malédiction ancestrale. Pourront-elles y échapper ? Wren et Rose sont enfin reines d’Eana. Mais le retour au pouvoir des sorcières ne plaît pas à tout le monde et une révolte se prépare. Si Rose souhaite entreprendre une tournée royale pour apaiser leur peuple, Wren, elle, ne pense qu’à une chose : se rendre à Gevra pour sauver leur grand-mère du cruel roi Alarik. Alors qu’une ancienne malédiction plane sur elles, les jumelles se retrouvent à nouveau séparées et face à des choix dont les conséquences pourraient s’avérer irréparables.

La malédiction était toujours en elle. Les ténèbres ne faisaient que commencer. Wren et Alarik sont désormais liés par le sortilège de sang interdit qu’ils ont lancé. Dévorés par une malédiction, ils doivent trouver la Haute Guérisseuse s’ils veulent espérer survivre.

Deux soeurs rivales, deux ambitions dévorantes mais un seul royaume. Laquelle emportera la couronne mais surtout, que laissera-t-elle derrière elle ?

In Gone to Earth, the haunting cry of fox hunters echoes as their quarry retreats to its den, leaving them in pursuit of an elusive spirit. Mary Webb weaves the poignant tale of Hazel Woodus, a young woman whose deep connection with her half-tame fox cub starkly contrasts with her struggles to navigate the complexities of human relationships. Caught between the affections of two very different suitors—the Manors Squire and the local Minister—Hazels journey unfolds in the enchanting rural landscape of late 1800s Shropshire. Written in 1917, this timeless story explores the intersection of ...

Easton Walker is the bane of my existence. A thorn in my side. And . . . my new fake husband. As the hottest hockey player in the league, he has everyone eating out of the palm of his hand. Everyone except for me. I'm not falling for his crooked grin, chiseled jaw, or broad shoulders. I made that mistake once, before I knew who he was, and I still felt the sting of his rejection. Now I'm stuck working with him. He does everything in his power to get under my skin, but no matter how much he vexes me, I can't deny the electric attraction that sparks between us.

My two cents for every day (kinda) of the year! I'll be diving into what's going on in my life, in the news, and in my noggin.
