I’m good at hiding my feelings. Having to pretend I’m not in love with my best friend? Pfft. That’s child’s play. Here’s how I do it: I avert my eyes when he walks out of his room, shirtless in all his toned glory. I squash the butterflies that fill my stomach every time he slowly unfurls a dimpled smile. Not to brag, but Aiden Smith isn’t hard to resist if you’ve been doing it for as long as I have. In fact, we might have continued as best friends forever if not for the fact that I needed him to play the part of my fake boyfriend.

Ian is...just my best friend. We're extremely close, stuck so deep inside a Jim-and-Pam-style friendzone everyone at work assumes we're a couple - that is until one day, word spreads through the teacher's lounge that he's single. Fair game. Suddenly, it's open season on Ian. He should be reveling in all the newfound attention, but to our mutual surprise, the only attention he seems to want is mine. He's turning our formerly innocent nightly chats into X-rated phone calls. Our playful banter sports a new, dangerous edge.

Gli unici limiti sono nella vostra psicologia. L'unico limite a quanto in alto potete andare è quanto credete di poter salire. Ognuno di voi può ottenere ciò che vuole nella vita.

He's, my bodyguard. My marriage of convenience husband. And the one man I can't have feelings for. Ryot Davenport: Former Marine. Billionaire security expert.

I’m determined to make him feel again. Every unspoken promise. Every stolen glance. We’re playing a dangerous game where the only rule is: don’t fall. But some rules were never meant to be kept…

I was issued a warning: stay away from Ben Rosenberg. As Clifton Cove's resident "king", he thinks he's entitled to anyone and anything.

I'm the police chief's daughter and a librarian - for adorable children, no less. An all-nighter with a fictional hunk is about as exciting as my life gets until one day, fate decides to take pity on me and shove me straight into the path of Mr. Off-Limits himself.

Life as an ENFP is no walk in the park. Despite the happy-go-lucky attitude they exude, only those who share the specific preference for extroversion, intuition, feeling, and perceiving on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator can truly understand the unique form of chaos that governs this type's restless mind. Embodying a profoundly strange stack of cognitive functions, ENFPs approach the world with both the enthusiasm of a child and the wisdom of an old soul.

Wir leben in einer Welt voller Ablenkungen, Reizüberflutung, Unsicherheiten und ständiger Bewertung–durch andere und durch uns selbst. Angst, Druck, Stress, Überforderung sind Normalzustände geworden. Inmitten dieses Chaos suchen viele nach Orientierung, Ruhe und einem Weg, innerlich stabil zu bleiben, egal was im Außen passiert. Genau hier kommt der Stoizismus ins Spiel.

Being the only daughter of one of the most powerful mafia families on the East Coast, my life was pretty much planned out for me. An arranged marriage to the son of another powerful family. But my heart had other plans. For as long as I could remember, I loved Dante Vitale, my brother's best friend, but he only saw me as a little sister. Until he didn't. Our love was real, pure, and I was prepared to go against my papa's wishes for the man I loved.

At 22, I've already had my share of hell with being forced into an arranged marriage with an abusive man by parents, who couldn't care less. But Whispering Grove is my fresh start. My own apartment. My brewery job. My life, finally.

Iris non ha dubbi: per lei l'inferno sono gli altri. Il paradiso invece è Alert, l'insediamento umano più a nord del pianeta, dove riposano in ibernazione tutti i sogni che non ha realizzato. Ma ormai persino ad Alert i ghiacci si sciolgono, e lontano migliaia di chilometri, in un residence sul mare che è un perfetto campo di osservazione delle piccole assurdità umane, Iris affronta la sua solitudine durante un'estate senza fine, in cui anche la natura è in preda a un disastro che ci somiglia. A quasi cinquant'anni, dopo un matrimonio fallito, Iris si è trasferita lì a vivere con Jacopo.

Marie, vous la connaissez. Mais Joseph ? Comment ce simple charpentier de Bethléem a-t-il reçu la mission insolite de devenir le père adoptif de… Jésus, le sauveur du monde ? Cette année, revisitez la nativité ! Stupéfaction, incompréhension, crainte, joie et adoration… revivez les émotions du premier Noël avec ce témoin discret.

Heath Holiday. My crush on him has ebbed and flowed over the years, but the day I started working for his construction company was the day I smothered it for good. Sort of. Mostly. It was on my to-do list. Making it a priority would have been easier had he not arrived at his family’s annual Christmas party looking ridiculously handsome in a suit. Then he kissed me. We stepped into an alternate universe and he kissed me.

When your life is a hot mess at 20, it's cute. At 27...well, not so much. It's just that my lofty dreams - making it as a real estate agent, paying rent on time, showering daily - have stayed just that: dreams. Oh, and love? I've decided love might be a little ambitious for me at the moment. Instead, I've settled for the two guys who will never leave me: Ben & Jerry. That is, until Dr. Adam Foxe takes up residence as the town's new vet.

La cancelliera tedesca Angela Merkel è andata in pensione da poche settimane e si è trasferita con il marito e il cane, un carlino di nome Putin, in una regione della Germania settentrionale.
