Cloud Atlas meets Orphan Black in this epic dimension-bending trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Claudia Gray about a girl who must chase her father's killer through multiple dimensions. Marguerite Caine's physicist parents are known for their groundbreaking achievements. Their most astonishing invention, called the Firebird, allows users to jump into multiple universes—and promises to revolutionize science forever. But then Marguerite's father is murdered, and the killer—her parent's handsome, enigmatic assistant Paul— escapes into another dimension before the law can touch him. Marguerite refuses to let the man who destroyed her family go free. So she races after Paul through different universes, always leaping into another version of herself. But she also meets alternate versions of the people she knows—including Paul, whose life entangles with hers in increasingly familiar ways. Before long she begins to question Paul's guilt—as well as her own heart. And soon she discovers the truth behind her father's death is far more sinister than she expected. A Thousand Pieces of You explores an amazingly intricate multi-universe where fate is unavoidable, the truth elusive, and love the greatest mystery of all.

I have to make sure not to mess up their schedule, and "satisfy their every whim" as well.Sascha When Erin asked me about entering a lifestyle with two men, I thought it was a joke. Can you really love more than one person at the same time? Then I meet trouble - times three. My new bosses. Three gorgeous, possessive, over-the-top alphas that can undress me with one single glance. Ian. Head of Human Resources. Tall. Solidly built. Seductive. Ryland. C.O.O. Dominant, demanding and intense. A total monster. And Carson. C.E.O. Mysterious, powerful, and drop-dead gorgeous. Before I get the editor position that I truly want, I'd need to report to all three of them. My jaw almost dropped when they told me that they all want me. So I accept their offer to go on a date with each of them before I pick only one. But I can't make up my mind. The more connections I have with each man, the more addicted I get. I want not just one, but three of them. Now they want me in their office for a very private meeting, and tell me that everything that's going to happen would have to remain strictly confidential. And I have a feeling that this is about to get hot, dirty, and a whole lot messier. Readers' reviews: "A story full of hotness. The girl is hot and the men are hotter!" "Three bosses, three hot men, so different yet working so well together. It was very interesting to come on a journey of this relationship, watching things coming to surface, seeing them standing for one another. It was beautiful as it was steamy." "This book is extremely captivating, sexy, steamy with lust, love, and so much more!"

There are a few things you absolutely don't do in Adrian Terranova's world. You don't question him. You don't challenge him. You don't call him by his first name. You definitely don't contradict him in front of his entire staff. Unless you're me, apparently. I'd love to say I stood up to the bosshole from hell and walked away unscathed, but that'd be a lie. First he got me fired from the job I couldn't afford to lose. Then he made sure the only position in the city I could get was working as his personal assistant. He runs his office with iron buns and icy glares. Every day is cloudy with a chance of grumpy. Every moment is a test he expects me to fail, but I'll happily disappoint him. They say he's impossible to please? That he never smiles? Well, I don't run from challenges. I run into them. And then I make them attend office glitter parties with hot dogs. Sometimes I also get scared on company flights and crash face first in my boss' lap during turbulence. Or there was the time I wound up half-naked in his hotel room... But I know one thing for certain. No matter how many times I have to look at his obnoxiously attractive, insufferably arrogant rear end, I won't break. I won't even bend. Adrian: I won't break her, but she's absolutely going to bend. Over my desk, I think. Or maybe the couch in reception?
