They promised to get along for his sister’s wedding. Keeping their word could change everything. Jessa Landry’s best friend is getting married, making her the last single member of her friend group, the Solo Sisters. Now more than ever, she feels destined to end up alone like she always feared she would. But no matter how much she wishes things would stay the same, she wants Ellie to have the perfect wedding. So, she’ll play nice, pretend like donning a pink bridesmaid dress doesn’t make her want to crawl out of her skin, and curb her tongue around Ethan, Ellie’s annoyingly cheerful brother. They might be famous for their bickering, but they agreed to keep the peace for the weekend. As wedding festivities unfold, Jessa finds herself constantly paired with Ethan. The more time they’re together, the more she sees what’s really behind his jovial facade, and her grumpy shell begins to crack. But Jessa’s issues with abandonment and betrayal could make it impossible for her to open her heart. Even to the man who might be exactly what she needs. The Wedding Truce is a sweet, closed door (kissing only), reverse grumpy sunshine, opposites attract, small-town romcom with lots of sizzling tension and none of the spice.

On 8 July 1921 a Truce between the IRA and British forces in Ireland was announced, to begin three days later. However, in those three days at least sixty people from both sides of the conflict were killed. In 'Truce', Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc goes back to the facts to reveal what actually happened in those three bloody days, and why. •What sparked Belfast's 'Bloody Sunday' in 1921, the worst bout of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland's troubled history? • Why were four unarmed British soldiers kidnapped and killed by the IRA in Cork just hours before the ceasefire began? •Who murdered Margaret Keogh, a young Dublin rebel, in cold blood on her own doorstep? •Were the last spies shot by the IRA really working for British intelligence or just the victims of anti-Protestant bigotry? This book answers these questions for the first time and separates fact from fiction to find out what really happened in the final battles between the IRA and the British forces.

DIV This book tells the history of the French Renaissance through the lives of its most prominent queens and mistresses, beginning with Agnès Sorel, the first officially recognized royal mistress in 1444; including Anne of Brittany, Catherine de Medici, Anne Pisseleu, Diane de Poitiers, and Marguerite de Valois, among others; and concluding with Gabrielle d’Estrées, Henry IV’s powerful mistress during the 1590s. Wellman shows that women in both roles—queen and mistress—enjoyed great influence over French politics and culture, not to mention over the powerful men with whom they were involved. The book also addresses the enduring mythology surrounding these women, relating captivating tales that uncover much about Renaissance modes of argument, symbols, and values, as well as our own modern preoccupations. /div
