As the world's most renowned heart surgeon, I accomplished every dream I had. I did my humanitarian work in South Africa, conducted groundbreaking research with my clinic, and made a difference every single day. The best part? The way my father looked at me.....like he'd never been more proud. But when my patience dies on the table, I lose everything. And I mean everything. My wife left me. I lost my practice. And worst of all...I lost myself. I'll never be able to reclaim everything I lost, nor do I want to. Until I meet Sicily...and she refuses to accept no for an answer.

He is my Hades. I’d played the role of a goddess, bound and chained for the service of mortals. He freed me. He freed me, unchained me and taken me to his underworld, his dark realm where he’d brought out all my forbidden and secret desires. And now I’m his.

Why did I ever think Emerson and I were a good idea? She's my assistant, so I have to see her every day. We get along, for the most part, but there's subtle hostility between us both. Being on my own is better. It makes far more sense. Until something terrible happens, something I didn't see coming, and it's those moments of tragedy that change you forever. I've changed...and I can never go back.

Emmának és ikeröccseinek az a szerencséjük, hogy Gerry nagybácsikájuk kísértetiesen hasonlít Gerald Durrellre. Elég az hozzá, hogy Gerry bácsi a kertjükben landol Belladonna nevű léghajójával, és magával viszi a három gyereket, hogy felkutassák Gerry bátyját, aki két éve indult el afrikai tanulmányútra, de azóta nem adott hírt magáról. A keresésből aztán világ körüli utazás lesz. Gerald Durrell, a biológus szépíró rengeteg érdekes tudnivalót lop az izgalmas és humoros történetbe.

Now that Derek knows the truth, everything is out in the open. He still wants to be with me. But I’m afraid this is temporary. I’m afraid he’ll change his mind. I’m afraid he’ll realize he’s not up for the task. And I’ll lose both him...and my job.

I have a secret that I've never told Derek, simply because it's something I never share with anyone. He has his secrets, I have mine. But when a late night takes an unexpected turn, I realize the truth will have to come out. Until he figures it out on his own...and that makes it a million times worse.

I just landed my dream job as an editor at the esteemed publisher Astra Books, and my client is the infamous sci-fi writer Derek Hamilton. The greatest writer of our generation - in my opinion. But it's not as wonderful as I thought it would be. I can't get this guy to respond to my emails, texts, or phone calls. Whenever I get him on the phone, he's a jerk that hangs up on me. He's a pain in the you-know-where. Yes, he's gorgeous...but he makes my life a living hell.

I finally got Valerie to give Deacon what he wants. To move to the city so the three of them can be together. I just have to give her one thing: a penthouse in my building. That means I'll have to see her, talk to her, and worst of all, assist her. But no matter how difficult she is, her being here means Derek will be here...and that makes it all worth it.

Gerry bácsi különös időutazásra hívja gyerek-barátait, 66 - 245 millió évvel ezelőttre, amikor a Földön még a hatalmas - és néha félelmetes - dinoszauruszok éltek. Azért vezeti Emmát, Konrádot és Ivánt ebbe a korba, mert a dinoszauruszokat komoly veszély fenyegeti: a 20. századból megérkezett hozzájuk Lord Irtó Artúr, a vandál vadász, és fegyverhordozója, a rovott múltú Betonkéz. Hőseink a dinoszauruszok segítségével szeretnék megfékezni őket, hogy nyugodt lelkiismerettel térhessenek vissza a jelenbe.

A Legsötétebb Peruból jött medve legeslegújabb kalandjai is megfelel a híres-neves Paddington-hagyományoknak: megmosolyogtató, pergő cselekményű, kedves, váratlan fordulatokkal teli mesék fűzére, amely nem mentes a megszokott bond-i társadalomkritikától sem.
