    Summary

    Penelope Featherington never wanted any part of the criminal underworld — she’s a quiet book editor who’d rather lose herself in romance novels than deal with her family’s shady “import business.” But when her father’s gambling debts threaten to destroy everything, the only way out is an arranged marriage to Colin Bridgerton. Third son of the billionaire Bridgerton family that secretly runs New York’s underground empire. Colin has been photographed with every model in Manhattan, but the moment he meets the fiery, thique, freckled Penelope, he’s done playing. She hates him on sight. He’s already in love.

    Summary

    All’inizio del ventesimo secolo, Damiano David si ritrovò senzatetto nella bella città di Venezia. Scappando dal suo passato e dal suo trauma e cercando di sopravvivere, scoprì mezzi di sopravvivenza aiutando il signor Amadeus, un venditore di libri malato, nel suo pittoresco negozio di libri di seconda mano. I soldi erano limitati e Damiano dovette far affidamento su un altro insieme di abilità per mantenere il suo reddito costante. L’ondata di turisti nella città gli permise di continuare la sua piccola vita di crimini durante l’estate, ma nella stagione morta dell’inverno, era forzato a tagliare i costi del suo sostentamento e a trovare riparo in edifici abbandonati. In una di queste occasioni trovò un abitante inaspettato in uno dei luoghi presumibilmente deserti. Inoltre, un misterioso sconosciuto tornò a Venezia e Damiano era stanco di avere questo personaggio minaccioso attorno.

    Summary

    At 34 years old, Colin decides to adopt.

    As the bond grows, Colin must make a decision that will change everything: to choose with his heart, even when time is not on his side.

    Summary

    At forty years old, Viktor is a freshly divorced small bookstore owner. He finally has the life he’s always wanted, having left his ex-husband and the unforgiving world of academia behind. Now, he spends most of his time reading, writing book reviews, and organizing bookish events.

    When Jayce Talis, the country’s most famous thriller writer, returns from a two-year absence with a harrowing novel about a man’s fall into a ravine and subsequent descent into madness, Viktor knows he has to try to invite him to a Q&A and pick his brain. What starts off as a business agreement quickly becomes more, as sparks fly and the two men find themselves craving each other’s company more and more.

    Will they find what they have always searched for in each other, or will they let their fears get the best of them before they can even become something more?

    Summary

    Crowley is in the bookshop, and trying very hard not to care.
    Aziraphale is in Heaven, and trying very hard to make angels care.
    Neither of them knows they are working toward the same goal.

    As angels and demons begin to change in unexpected ways, misunderstandings pile up, trust lands in the wrong places, and every small choice starts to matter.
    Unintended teamwork, parallel choices, and how saving the world might look exactly like losing each other—right up until it doesn’t.

    ***
    Unless... from his perspective, wasn’t Crowley doing exactly what Aziraphale most likely intended?
    (…)
    Surely he can’t possibly think that I’m helping him carry out his plan willingly, can he? CAN HE?

    Summary

    It hadn’t been a nice day.

    Neither of them had been nice so far. Being the boss of about ten thousand angels wasn’t as easy a job as Aziraphale could have ever over-thought. Although he didn’t quite like the idea of being the boss, bossing other angels around; he wasn’t used to it. He was used to being in his bookshop, with his books and his classical records. And with Crowley…

    Oh, Crowley!

    No, not Crowley, of course not.

    Summary

    “Do you always lure your customers into buying your shi— books like this?”

    “Please elaborate on what you mean by like this,” Ivan answers calmly, a smug smile plastered on his face. “I see nothing wrong with engaging with my customers and getting acquainted with them. Better to know your clientele, hm?” He takes a step forward, entering Till’s personal space —Till would back down, but right behind him stand the shelves. Ivan curls his fingers around the book Till is holding. He brushes his fingers with his own as he does so, lingering there purposefully, before he eventually takes the volumes to rest it on the shelves. A sigh escapes Till’s lips, and only then does he realize he had stopped breathing.

    Yes. Infuriating, just like he said.

    Or: Till meets bookseller Ivan after being dragged to the newly opened bookstore by Sua. Things go about as (un)expected as they can.
