Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For four years, Tomás Aldana paid a fee.Not rent. Not a debt.

Then the van. Then her mother's ring, which bought eleven months.He is sixty-three. He sleeps in the back room of the repair shop he has run for forty years, mending things for people who cannot afford to replace them. The statement on his counter is fourteen days past due on the morning Vesper calls to tell him the tissue is failing.Then a stranger tells his story on a Thursday night stream, and four hundred thousand people weep for a man they have never met, and it raises - almost exactly - what the ring did.A talent house closes the gap.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For fans of cozy magic, found family, and someone finally building you a timer calibrated to exactly the way you work.Maeve has run the Clockwork & Chamomile Café for three years - a hidden kitchen sanctuary tucked inside a magical fold in Boston's Financial District, where her baked goods heal what medicine can't touch and the cast-iron oven adjusts itself to her moods. She gives everything to everyone who walks through the door. She's considerably less practised at letting anyone do the same for her.Arthur is the clockmaker next door. He arrives every morning at seven, moves his armchair two inches to the left, orders a black espresso with no sugar, and reads in absolute silence until nine. He has catalogued every sound in the café with the involuntary precision of a brain that cannot stop noticing things. He has been noticing Maeve for three years.When a corporate-backed health inspector arrives with a clipboard and a 48-hour suspension notice - part of a calculated bureaucratic siege designed to starve the alley's artisans out - Maeve and Arthur are forced into the kind of proximity that makes noticing considerably more complicated.He has the calibration tools to prove her oven is legal. She has the clarity tart that finally makes his world quiet. Together, they'll untangle a paper trail that leads all the way back to 1924 - and discover that the most precise instruments don't always measure what you expect them to.Warm, exact, and quietly devastating. A love story between a woman who forgets to ask for help and a man who spent three years learning her intervals before he admitted why.The Hidden Havens Series is a complete twenty-book cozy urban fantasy romance series. Each book is a standalone HEA. Best read in order.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - She has been asleep for twenty-two years. He is the only one who still comes.Emil Sarto's wife went down in a hospital corridor on a Thursday night, mid-shift, forty-one years old. She has not spoken since. For twenty-two years he has taken the same bus twice a week to the same bed, and told her the week, and gone home.Now the tissue is failing. A company he has never heard of would like to move his wife into a manufactured body, at no cost, for reasons of their own. The procedure is irreversible. It requires her clear verbal confirmation.She cannot give it. Protocol requires the script be read aloud anyway, and a stated interval observed, and a non-response recorded.The interval is twelve seconds.She wakes into a body built from photographs - at twenty, from a year before he met her, because that is the year the camera happened to keep. He is sixty-six. She has lost no time at all.And then Hesperide offers him the same procedure. Same terms. There is a field on the form where he could put any age he liked.The Interval is a quiet, slow-burning entry in the Vesper Universe - closer to literary fiction than to the darker, hotter books in the series. It is a novella about consent, devotion, and what twenty-two years of showing up is worth when nobody is watching. Readers who come to Vesper for heat should know this one burns low and cold.Note: This is in a different style compared to the other Vesper books, and it's meant to show a darker side of the world in a different manner.Standalone. No prior Vesper books required. New readers can start here.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - She came to take his chocolate apart. She didn't expect it to put her back together.Beatrice Okafor is a neurological researcher running on empty. Fourteen months into a grant partnership with Lexis AI, she arrives at a warm Cambridge confectionery with a pelican case full of analysis equipment and a single objective: map the anomalous cognitive compounds in the chocolatier's work and file her data. Clean science. No complications.Simon Adeyemi has been feeding the Scholar's Ward for six years. He knows what people need before they do, gives it freely, and has never once asked what he needs in return. When the sharp-eyed researcher sits down at his marble prep table, his copper vats register something he hasn't felt in years: this one matters.But the data Beatrice files in eleven seconds becomes a weapon in eleven more. Lexis AI deploys a synthetic cognitive signal into the Ward's Wi-Fi infrastructure - a digital frequency that mimics Simon's unquantifiable magic and begins lobotomising the academic community one mind at a time. To fight it, they need a counter-signal built from everything her science can map and everything his craft can feel. They need each other's opposite expertise. And they need to be in the same warm kitchen, at the same cold marble, for long enough to realise that the signal they've been building together isn't just neurological.Friends to Lovers. Secret Academic Rivals. Forced Proximity in the most delicious kitchen in a city that doesn't appear on any map.The Cocoa & Cipher Confectionery is the fourth book in the Scholar's Ward arc of The Hidden Havens Series - twenty standalone cozy urban fantasy romances set in the secret magical districts of modern Boston. Each book is a complete love story. Every couple is guaranteed a happily ever after.Series reading order: While each book stands alone, readers who have followed the series will recognise familiar faces in the warm amber light of the Study Hour.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Six operators died on a Red Sea beach. Seven weeks later they debuted in Seoul. Victor Garrity led his team into a smuggling yard that knew they were coming. The ambush should have killed all six of them. It took Victor's brother on the same coast two months earlier. Then, with the six dying, a contractor called Vesper offered each of them three doors. One of them was a second life. Now Victor is Angel, leader of the hottest new K-pop act in the country, and the five people Victor trusts most are on stage beside him in brand-new bodies: a sniper with a perfect braid, a signals spy with a giggle she can switch off, a medic with a voice fans make compilations of, an explosives tech with miraculous knees, and a comms specialist whose Korean was fluent long before the upload. They sing. They dance. They smile for the cameras. And behind the smiles, six soldiers are hunting the people who sold their mission. Every door in Seoul opens onto something: a choreographer who sees the seam, a general who sends Christmas cards starring his Labradors, a British smuggler who drinks barley tea, a manager with a laminated no-dating clause and an ulcer for every broken rule. Nobody orders them through any of those doors. They choose each one out loud, eyes open, and their sharp old inner voices keep score of every count, every exit and every cost. Funny, filthy and fierce, Sugar6: The Debut is a found-family spy caper about six people who lost everything and decided what their new lives were for. You'll love it if you crave: - Special ops soldiers reborn as K-pop stars- Sharp tactical inner voices under the idol smile>Adults only (18+).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Underground has been here for a hundred and forty years. Kael intends to keep it that way.Kael Marsh is a third-generation steward of the Hearth & Hollow Pottery, a late-night ceramic shop tucked into the Cobblestone Underground - a hidden nocturnal market built into the abandoned transit tunnels beneath Boston.

The fractures are real. And when the city's emergency protocol threatens to bury the Underground under thirty metres of concrete, Kael and Elara have seventy-two hours to find the source, seal the damage, and hold the line - together.A Mutual Pining / Forced Proximity romance.

Now she has fourteen days, forty-one cameras, and one shot at Open Flame's $500,000 prize to get it back.
