From award-winning Lisa Kumar comes a contemporary fantasy romance of a fae shifter driade who hides in plain sight as a businessman and finds the human woman who is his destined mate. When Ashlee Trent meets handsome businessman Kaiden West on a plane to Australia, he eases her fears even as he sets her heart ablaze. After their plane crashes into the ocean and they wash ashore on an island in the South Pacific, danger and intrigue greet them. Too bad most of it seems related to the mystery of who—or just what—Kaiden is. Ashlee must now try to tease apart what is fact or fiction if they're ever to have a future together. Kaiden West, a fae driade-shifter, keeps dozens of secrets about his life and his people—like the truth of their very existence. The faerin hide away who and what they are so they can mesh seamlessly with humans, who'd only show them fear and prejudice if their true natures were revealed. When he meets the lovely but flustered Ashlee, he's drawn to her in a way that he's never experienced before. Though they've survived a plane crash, will the secrets surrounding him not only send their budding relationship into a nosedive but also end their lives? This novella contains adult content and is perfect for fans of Tasha Black, Sarah J. Maas, C.N. Crawford, and Alessa Thorn. This story was previously published as Crashing into You and was also in the anthology Crashing into Love. Kaiden and Ashlee later appear in the Mists of Eria series, so some of The Faerin characters crossover to the Mists series. This crossing-over starts in Bound to the Dark Elf, Book Three of the Mists of Eria series.

From award-winning author Lisa Kumar comes a new fantasy romance series with dashes of fairytale flair and hints of Bridgerton. In this tale, an ice-cold, cursed fae prince meets his match in a human witch who can't control her magic. Ellohen, the Prince Regent of the Holly Court, has been cursed to feel no emotion for longer than a moment. His kingdom has fallen under the icy pall of coldness. To break the spell, he has to find a female who is capable of loving him. He finds her. She’s human and a dismal witch. Worse, she’s much too sunny and has the audacity to make him feel. It’s much too soon for that. Jane, the impoverished daughter of a squire, never thought she’d be fated to anyone, let alone an otherworldly fae prince. Too bad he's emotionally constipated. Literally. He believes that she can break the spell, but she has huge doubts. Sure, he’s handsome and makes her heart wildly thud. However, most of the time, a wall has more emotional depth. Still, to aid him, she finds herself fighting both her family and his enemies. Both Ellohen and Jane will find out that love makes people do the oddest things—and that they’re no exception. This is the first book in the Brides of the Fae series and contains adult content and language (18+). This series is perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Grace Draven, and Elise Kova and for readers who love fae/human romances.

The first monograph on the works of Patricia Urquiola, whose eclectic approach to product design and architecture has established her as one of the key figures in contemporary design. A superstar in the world of design, Patricia Urquiola’s portfolio of architectural projects and product designs is as diverse as it is intensely personal—from a house for Patrizia Moroso, to the interiors of boutique hotels, to industrial design, and with products that include chairs, watches, and cutlery. Since the opening of her own design practice in Milan in 2001, Urquiola has taken on an ever-expanding number of projects, and has worked with all the great international design houses, including Moroso, De Padova, B&B Italia, Bisazza, Alessi, Driade, and Flos, to name a few. Urquiola’s distinctive works straddle the boundary between architecture and design, the product of a rigorous, interdisciplinary education. Her products and spaces have won her acclaim for combining a bold, passionate imagination with an innate practicality. Drawing inspiration from historical precedent, her designs are often characterized by their clear lines and formal simplicity, and their irrepressible sensuality. This inspiring book captures the fervid energy of Urquiola’s life and work, in an unprecedented and striking design object as innovative and intimate as her body of work.

A sincere tribute to the world renowned phenomenon of Made in Italy on the occasion of two memorable dates: the fiftieth anniversary of the first Italian fashion show (Florence, 1951) and the fortieth anniversary of the International Furniture Show (Milan, 1961). The book, devoted to fifty years of Italian fashion and design, examines the complex mosaic of Made in Italy divided into different aspects and themes: -- Belvedere: an overview of the cultural and emotional relationship that exists between certain great foreign artists (including Luciano Fabro, Nam June Paik, Anish Kapoor, Joseph Kosuth, Panamarenko, Julian Schnabel) and Italy. -- Memory: a spectacular and historic interpretation of forty years of Italian life divided into four decades. Protagonists of the design and fashion worlds have been chosen for each decade: from Gio Ponti and Roberto Capucci (1951-1961) to Ettore Sottsass and Gianni Versace (1981-1991). -- Brokenhaus: an original mass of clothes and objects of fashion and design of the last 50 years, including Brionvega TV, Olivetti typewriters and Bialetti coffee-makers. -- Taste: another major "Italian-made" reality, gastronomy, is unconventionally interpreted by the designer Gaetano Pesce and by Andrea Pezzi, icon of teen-age pop culture. -- Allegory: a metaphor of the triumph of "Italian-made" goods to represent the decade 1991-2001, dedicated to all the leading figures in Italian design and fashion today, from Philippe Starck and Vico Magistretti to Gaetano Pesce, from Armani and Gucci to Dolce e Gabbana.
