2021br. Bologna, 1877. Un ragazzo di diciassette anni scende dal treno alla stazione Centrale. È Febo Nalli, è arrivato fin da Matidia, in Umbria, con un solo obiettivo: laurearsi in Matematica all'Alma mater studiorum. Tra lezioni ed esami, Febo scopre due grandi amori. Il primo è la geometria non euclidea. Il secondo è Isabella Galimberti, giovane di nobile famiglia, conosciuta da Febo l'anno prima e ora ritrovata. Fra i due, nonostante la differenza di condizione sociale, la scintilla è immediata e prepotente; ma, durante l'estate, Isabella si ammala. L'origine del suo male sembra collegata a una misteriosa lettera ricevuta dalla ragazza, un foglio su cui era tracciata un'unica, grande X e nient'altro. Con l'aiuto dell'amica Caterina, Febo inizia a indagare. Chi ha spedito quella lettera e perché?
2022br. Avere come vicina una maestra in pensione dalla personalità esplosiva e invadente può rivelarsi un'esperienza estrema, soprattutto se si viene da un periodo nero nel quale la vita sentimentale è andata a rotoli, insieme a quella lavorativa. Questo direbbe Carolina Bassani, cardiologa, dirimpettaia dell'arzilla Eufemia. Due anni prima, una terribile disgrazia ha distrutto la carriera lavorativa sua e di un collega, Ascanio Sangiorgi, chirurgo plastico. I due medici si rincontrano per caso in un supermercato, protagonisti di un imprevedibile e rocambolesco incidente: Carolina viene colpita dalla scheggia di una bottiglia di Franciacorta caduta dallo scaffale dei vini, Ascanio la soccorre. Da quel momento, si inanella una serie di eventi che, come in un domino a tinte giallo-rosa, porterà due persone sole e deluse a riemergere dal baratro. E, magari, con l'aiuto fondamentale di una Eufemia in versione Mata Hari, a risolvere l'enigma che ha rovinato le loro vite.

2017brossura Quando l'astrofisico Solovi scompare, lascia dietro di sé una serie di fondamentali scoperte ottenute in una brillante carriera di uomo di scienza, non ultima una serie di intuizioni che lo hanno aiutato a costruire il migliore degli strumenti per l'esplorazione dello spazio profondo. Non lascia che un vuoto di informazioni, tuttavia, sulla sua vita personale, e una sfilza di quesiti irrisolti. Perché ha compiuto - se davvero lo ha compiuto - un gesto così estremo come il suicidio? Quanto c'era di vero nella convinzione che Solovi avesse vissuto una vita appagante, invece di combattere contro una solitudine devastante, incolmabile, più vasta ancora dello spazio inesplorato? Forse non resta che l'opzione del rimpianto per aver perduto un uomo che ha dato tanto al mondo e che il mondo non si è dato pena di ricompensare. Ma ancora oggi risulta impossibile credere che una persona geniale, piena di risorse, eclettica come Solovi non abbia lasciato neanche un messaggio, andandosene.
1999[Harlequin Intrigue Series # 532]Nurse Abby Chance recognized her patient on a soggy, country road just before he collapsed of exhaustion. She brought Zach Andros to her weekend getaway cabin, but hadn't expected to become stranded with a man too tormented by memories for his own good-and too sexy for hers. Someone had staged a murder, knocked Zach out cold and them cast him as the prime suspect! Although he couldn't tell Abby exactly what had happened that night, she instinctively believed in him. Within her arms he found comfort, and in her bed, exquisite passion. Yet, by allowing her into his world, had Zach compromised her safety? For if he didn't discover who'd set him up, his freedom was forfeit and so was Abby's life. 249p.(Freda Vasilos and Tina Vasilos are pseudonyms of Freda Vasilopoulos,a Canadian writer) Book
2015brossura Il libro narra la storia di Maria, una giovane donna del sud emigrata, con il marito Michele e il piccolo figlio Luigi, a Torino in cerca di un lavoro e di un futuro migliore. Purtroppo le sue aspettative vengono ben presto disattese: per vivere Maria è costretta a fare la donna delle pulizie e la sua esistenza è caratterizzata da privazioni e umiliazioni. La vita di Maria diviene rapidamente un incubo a causa dei maltrattamenti di Michele che sfociano gradualmente in una vera e propria violenza fisica e psicologica. Michele, disoccupato cronico, sfoga sulla moglie tutte le proprie frustrazioni fino a quando, spinto dal facile guadagno, entra a far parte di un'organizzazione criminale dedita allo spaccio di droga. Da questo momento la vita di Maria diventa insostenibile, costretta a convivere con un marito aguzzino che la costringe anche a fare la prostituta. Le vicende che si susseguono sono altamente drammatiche. L'esistenza della protagonista viene sconvolta e soltanto Massimo, il padre di una compagna di classe di Luigi, poliziotto presso la Narcotici, cerca, anche spinto da un sentimento amoroso, di dare un po' di sostegno psicologico alla donna. La storia prenderà una piega inaspettata e Maria, privata di ogni forma di giustizia, alla fine sarà costretta ad assumere una decisione sofferta ma inevitabile.
