When your life falls apart and grief consumes you, what better way to forget than to take a winter mountaineering course in the Scottish Highlands? That was my thought when I booked myself on to it. Now I’m regretting ever signing up. Getting paired up with a grumpy stranger who thinks I’m a foolish amateur is only the tip of the iceberg. When an avalanche hits, we get separated from the group and have to find another way down the mountain.

It started with an impossible choice. One I had no wish to make from a person I'd only just come to know. So many of our decisions had led up to this moment. Perhaps it was the way we'd come together which threw my life so off balance. Leaving me with the final say in a matter I wanted no part of. We had to draw up the battle lines. Change our fates. Or we'd all crash and burn. It wasn't a case of if we'd fight for survival, it was when. When would he come after us? When would he try to destroy us? When would he decide I wasn't worth saving any longer?

It started when they stole me from my life. The daughter of a crime lord who ruled with an iron fist. The heir to a family of blood and ruin. They left only a whisper of a name in the air. Il Diavolo. A man whose reputation preceded him. Ruthless. Merciless. Cunning. The one they called the Devil. He was as beautiful as he was terrifying. Except I wasn't scared of him or his three friends. They might want to use me in their quest for revenge, but they picked the wrong girl. Or maybe I was the right one and none of us knew it quite yet.

It started when they betrayed me. The ones who I'd come to trust. The ones I was starting to love. My world flipped upside down and nothing is as it seems. Everything was unravelling before my eyes, tearing us apart while pulling us closer together. I'm caught between two worlds. The one I grew up in and the one Id' started to forge with the boys. Everything came to a grinding halt when long hidden secrets came to light. The truth changed the rules and made us realize nothing in life is ever as it seems.

Detective Gemma Woodstock muss in einer australischen Kleinstadt den Mord an einer ehemaligen Klassenkameradin aufklären: Als Rosalind Ryans Leiche in einem See entdeckt wird, haben Gemma und ihr Partner es mit einem komplexen Fall zu tun. Alle behaupten, Rosalind geliebt und bewundert zu haben: der Direktor der Schule, an der sie unterrichtete; die Schüler, denen sie den Kopf verdrehte; ihr wohlhabender Vater und ihre drei Brüder.

The power of hashtag activism became clear in 2011, when #IranElection served as an organizing tool for Iranians protesting a disputed election and offered a global audience a front-row seat to a nascent revolution. Since then, activists have used a variety of hashtags to advocate, mobilize, and communicate. In this book, Sarah Jackson, Moya Bailey, and Brooke Foucault Welles explore how and why Twitter has become an important platform for historically disenfranchised populations, including Black Americans, women, and transgender people.

When Gemma Woodstock, homicide investigator in the large rural town of Smithson, views the body of her old school friend Rosalind splayed open on the autopsy table, she suffers the same feeling of inscrutability that has coloured her relationship with Rose for so long. Gemma, however, is hiding her own secrets. She has a four-year-old son, Ben, and has recently moved in with the boy's father, Scott. But the relationship is troubled, and she is having an affair with a colleague that she works closely with.

Him. I wanted to take them all down. I had everything under control. Then she walked into my life. And turned my world upside down. She changed me. She was the light in the darkness. I was her avenging angel. Until I ruined everything. Her. I wanted to be his everything. The one who took me. He showed me their darkest secrets. He taught me their twisted ways. I fell for him and fell hard. I was ready to destroy them all. Until he destroyed me.

Innocent. Fragile. Sheltered. The secrets from the past shattered me. The lies my family told broke my soul. Devastation was my only solace. Until my angel saved me. He gave me freedom. And I'd kill for him.

What might seem insignificant to one person might mean everything to another which is why they keep coming back for more. Seriously, they've seen Bridget Jones at least 150 times. So, why wait?
