Riding high on love makes life as sweet as sugar.
Primrose Bellevue is many things-a candy maker, an influencer, and a pink-loving, confident woman. She isn't, however, a criminal.
That is, until she commits the stupidest crime in history.
After her very public break-up and her sudden fame as a stalker, she has no choice but to escape the scene of the crime. By some stroke of luck, the grumpy, arrogant farmer who witnessed it all just so happens to be desperate for an alibi of his own.
But lacking a stable connection out in the sticks might not be the worst part of bunking with her fake boyfriend. When Logan makes it his goal to check every item off her love wishlist, the bitter remarks between them turn into sweeter-than-sugar smiles.
And the hardest part might just be leaving him behind.

Logan Coleman isn't many things-a cowboy, a people person, or someone looking for a roommate. He is, however, unable to escape the pink-haired nightmare that keeps popping up everywhere he goes.
Of course she'd turn out to be his only ticket out of jail.
With his farm on the brink of failure and his mental health in shambles, he has a whole list of reasons not to want a real-life Barbie to break through all his carefully crafted barriers. But when being around her starts to feel more like a reward and less like a punishment, he knows letting her in will be worth it.
Even if it means Primrose will be the one to take him down.
Riding the Sugar High is a steamy, emotional, laugh-out-loud story about love, acceptance, and vegan treats. It features two opposites who, brought together by fate, choose to stick together even when it's the hardest path to follow.

To her surprise, the dashing lieutenant isn't merely in town for a leisurely visit, but to track down a wealthy socialite who's gone missing─and what's more, he asks Nel to help. The two of them embark on what Nel assumes to be a routine investigation, only to find there's much more to the story than her partner let on.
Across town, Thessa runs into trouble of her own when the Garden of Lilies, one of the city's most reputable red-light houses, becomes the scene of a horrific murder. Though the city guard arrests an obvious suspect, Thessa is convinced they're mistaken; and so, with the aid of her trusty friend Corlis, she offers to help unravel the mystery.

At Audi, they are fond of recalling how a pre-production quattro left all rear-wheel-drive sedans behind on an incline in wintry Austria - with summer tires! In fact, the well-known Audi slogan Vorsprung durch Technik (Progress through Technology) has seldom been put into practice as tangibly as with the presentation of permanent all-wheel drive in the Audi quattro, which established this drive variant as one of the first in production vehicle manufacturing. And it was not only on snow-covered mountain passes that the four driven wheels played out their advantages: They were safer and, above all, faster on all kinds of surfaces.
There are numerous special features that make this brand-defining sports coupe stand out: the five-cylinder in-line engine made for a husky voice, the digital displays installed in the interior from 1982 onward gave it a futuristic look, and the angular body design with its distinctive twin headlights had a high recognition factor. Anyone who drove a quattro stood out. This successful package was crowned by the successes of the sports version: Walter Röhrl's victory in the 1984 Monte Carlo Rally and the record-breaking drive in the 1987 Pikes Peak Hillclimb cemented the nimbus of the sporty all-purpose weapon.
Forty years after its unveiling at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show, the Audi quattro now receives its well-deserved tribute in a comprehensive monograph written by brand connoisseur, Audi driver, and noted automotive journalist Dirk-Michael Conradt. This 400 page, heavily illustrated book offers a complete chronology of the Urquattro from prototype to final model, and includes technical data and production figures. The illustrations include numerous previously unpublished images from the Audi factory archive.
Seventy-five years of the legendary Italian-made Ferrari motor and racing car, captured in photographs by Günther Raupp, who during the course of his career has taken pictures of almost every Ferrari ever built. The results of his eye-catching style and perfect technique are more than just plain photos. They reveal the car's soul. In this book, he chooses the images that he considers among his best, photographs that make the brand's history come alive. Writer Jürgen Lewandowski gives an expert presentation of the history of Ferrari, from the founding by Enzo Ferrari until today. For world-class drivers like Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel, winning in a Ferrari was an outstanding experience. For many it was the crowning moment of their career. But even off the race track the sports cars from Maranello are impressive: not just the sporting qualities, but also the bodies, drawn by Italy's best designers, including Bertone and especially Pininfarina. Günther Raupp photographs racing cars as well as road cars and makes 75 years of history of the Italian brand come alive. Text in English and German.
Germany's South, Germany's North ... everywhere CURVES has found scenic roads to fall in love with. But what about Eastern Germany? Just empty motorways? Bumpy village streets? Plattenbau buildings in blooming landscapes?

Winding roads lead up into the mountains of the interior or palm-fringed along the coasts, swirling through the country as less frequented and often well-maintained driving pleasure hunters.
So, buckle up, open all your senses, start your engines. Join us on breath-taking tours between the east coast and west coast - into a world of lush greenery, dripping jungle, foreign cultures, adventures and experiences.

A sports car for race tracks and everyday life: This holds true since the 1984 triumph of legendary four-by-four 911 at the Paris-Dakar rally, the world's toughest long-distance race. The now re-issued off-road Porsche manages the balancing act of road/sports car and cross-country vehicle better than any other 911 before. In eight chapters the richly illustrated car book depicts the development of the first genuine off-road 911. From the historic genes at the Porsche development center in Weissach to the extensive test drives of the sports car on various continents - a piece of living automobile history.
Impressive pictures document the development of this special 911 model, limited to 2,500 cars. Christoph Bauer, long-standing Porsche photographer, took the brilliant photos for this volume. Bauer followed the whole process of development - all the time close to the designers. Thus he was able to take spectacular Porsche photos, just for this illustrated car book. Pure Porsche design!
