If Eve wants to keep those closest to her safe, she has to become a willing hostage. She has to stay away from the Westing brothers, but that won't be easy when they refuse to stay away from her. Is Eve a spy, a prisoner, or a pawn in a power struggle over the source of all magic?

Though her rich stepdad and her mom have moved into a newly renovated mansion, Eve can't join them or her spell breaking will undo all the magical security measures. That means she'll be living at the old house, and of course the guys have to stay with her to protect her. Eve uncovers a secret about her parents, her mother is put in danger, and the guys train Eve to defend herself. But the biggest challenge in Eve's life is how she's going to handle five arrogant, insufferable warlocks who love to drive her crazy.

Eve's new stepbrothers are the worst. Arrogant, gorgeous and rich, the Westing brothers invade her home town, her house, and her whole life. The five of them bring more trouble than any one girl could handle. That's because they're warlocks. Good thing Eve has a secret weapon to use against their magic. The Westing brothers have no use for Eve except to mess with her relentlessly. They think she's their new plaything. But things aren't as they seem. Eve isn't theirs to play with, she's theirs to protect.

A page-turning novel that is also an exploration of the great philosophical concepts of Western thought, Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World has fired the imagination of readers all over the world, with more than twenty million copies in print. One day fourteen-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find in her mailbox two notes, with one question on each: "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?" From that irresistible beginning, Sophie becomes obsessed with questions that take her far beyond what she knows of her Norwegian village. Through those letters, she enrolls in a kind of correspondence course, covering Socrates to Sartre, with a mysterious philosopher, while receiving letters addressed to another girl. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up? To unravel this riddle, Sophie must use the philosophy she is learning—but the truth turns out to be far more complicated than she could have imagined.

Meet Vince Fong... I’ve got a pretty great life, if I do say so myself. I made a fortune when I sold my tech start-up, and I’ve spent the years since partying, drinking, and inviting a parade of women into my bed. I should be happy, but I feel an annoying lack of fulfillment, and there’s no way I’m going back to the work I did before. At a friend’s party, I meet Marissa. We have hot sex against the door and agree to spend the weekend together. Just one weekend. I never expect to see her again.
