Return to the thrilling and terrifying world of Reapers, and find Aramis fighting for her life and love as she tries to rescue her master, the Reaper Vincent, as his first familiar. But when she does, she finds him severely injured and confused. Unable to protect him from his father, Death, Aramis is forced to take Vincent to a place where Death can’t find them: Safe Heaven, inhabited by ancient immortals led by Satan. With a wraith slowly consuming her body from the inside and Death’s perpetual hunt for her soul, it’s not just about surviving anymore. This time, the first familiar must surrender herself to one of the two evils to win against the other.
After barely escaping from captivity to find a cure for her illness, she, Vincent, and rest of the other Reapers team up to defeat the ancient dark creature Legion, whose sole mission is to destroy the earth. But in the midst of the ongoing chaos, the brothers unearth a dark prophecy that may lead to the apocalypse. What's worse for Aramis is that it involves the man whom she realizes she still has feelings for: Vincent. While suffering from an illness that may cost her her life, Aramis must do everything to end the madness once and for all. Now she must choose: Save the world, or save the man she loves.

But when the latest operation goes sideways, putting his CIA counterpart’s sister in danger; Carlo is asked to look after the woman. Babysitting is sometimes part of the job, so for Carlo, this is just another Thursday. Doctor Alessandra Salvatore doesn’t need a babysitter, nor does she have time to rearrange her life because her brother thinks she ‘might’ be in danger. And she definitely doesn’t need the electrifying neurological reaction she has when she comes face to face with the Roman gladiator of a man sent to guard her.

From the terracotta rooftops of Rome to the remote jungles of South America, the two are thrust into a world of intrigue and sexual tension. Can they build something together or is it better to let the passion fizzle out and amicably part ways? This book has some strong language, drinking and sex. Enjoy!
In Italy, an elderly mother awaits a reunion with the son stolen from her by the Nazis—“A darkly hypnotic kaleidoscope of a book” (The Jewish Daily Forward). Haya Tedeschi sits alone in Gorizia, in northeastern Italy, surrounded by a basket of photographs and newspaper clippings. Now an old woman, she waits to be reunited after sixty-two years with her son, fathered by an SS officer and stolen from her by the German authorities as part of Himmler’s clandestine Lebensborn project. Tedeschi reflects on her Catholicized Jewish family’s experiences, in a narrative that deals unsparingly with the massacre of Italian Jews in the concentration camps of Trieste. Her obsessive search for her son leads her to photographs, maps, and fragments of verse, to testimonies from the Nuremberg trials and interviews with second-generation Jews, and to eyewitness accounts of atrocities that took place on her doorstep. From this broad collage of material and memory arises the staggering chronicle of Nazi occupation in northern Italy that “explores the 20th century’s darkest chapter in an original way . . . an exceptional reading experience” (Minneapolis Star-Tribune).

The low-tech approaches, illustrated in schematic drawings and explained in texts, are a source of inspiration for the design of sustainable and energy-autonomous building structures.
