    • Všetko sa začalo láskou. A skončilo sa tichom. Sorcha O’Donovanová vyrastá v ospalej dedinke na divokom írskom západe a túži po živote plnom vášne, hudby a dobrodružstva. Keď stretne charizmatického hudobníka a vydedenca Cona Dalyho, jej život sa konečne zmení. Utečie s ním do Londýna, kde ich čaká život, o akom obaja vždy snívali – sláva, koncerty, úspech. Ich životy sa však zmenia na nepoznanie, keď sa prejaví temná stránka slávy. Conova rocková kapela The Fishermen prerazí na svetové pódiá, no život pod žiarou reflektorov má svoju cenu. Smrteľné vyhrážky, utajená pravda a minulosť, ktorá si pýta svoju daň. Až Con jedného dňa zmizne. Bez stopy. O dve desaťročia neskôr sa kapela rozhodne opäť vystúpiť – na najväčšom charitatívnom koncerte na svete. Ak sa však Con Daly objaví skôr, ako vyjdú najavo fakty, história sa môže zopakovať s ešte tragickejšími následkami. Silný príbeh o láske, strate a druhých šanciach – Posledná ľúbostná pieseň je znovuoživený raný román milovanej autorky Lucindy Rileyovej, ktorý s úctou a láskou prepracoval jej syn Harry Whittaker, spoluautor bestsellera Atlas.

Když upoutá pozornost vlivné rodiny Delancey, ví, že její život už nikdy nebude jako dřív. O několik let později vezme svět modelingu útokem, cestuje z Milána do Londýna a New Yorku a žije život v klíně luxusu.

But the local police cannot rule out foul play and the case prompts the return of high-flying Detective Inspector Jazmine 'Jazz' Hunter to the force. Jazz has her own private reasons for stepping away from her police career in London, and reluctantly agrees to front the investigation as a favour to her old boss. Reunited with her loyal sergeant Alastair Miles, she enters the closed world of the school, and as Jazz begins to probe the circumstances surrounding Charlie Cavendish's tragic death, events are soon to take another troubling turn. Charlie is exposed as an arrogant bully, and those around him had both motive and opportunity to switch the drugs he took daily to control his epilepsy. As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of young pupil Rory Millar and the death of an elderly classics master provide Jazz with important leads, but are destined to complicate the investigation further. As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons . . . Then, a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career.

      The first book in a major new series from the #1 internationally bestselling author Lucinda Riley. Maia D'Apliese and her five sisters gather together at their childhood home, "Atlantis"--A fabulous, secluded castle situated on the shores of Lake Geneva--having been told that their beloved father, who adopted them all as babies, has died. Each of them is handed a tantalizing clue to her true heritage--a clue which takes Maia across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Once there, she begins to put together the pieces of her story and its beginnings. Eighty years earlier in Rio's Belle Epoque of the 1920s, Izabela Bonifacio's father has aspirations for his daughter to marry into the aristocracy. Meanwhile, architect Heitor da Silva Costa is devising plans for an enormous statue, to be called Christ the Redeemer, and will soon travel to Paris to find the right sculptor to complete his vision. Izabela--passionate and longing to see the world--convinces her father to allow her to accompany him and his family to Europe before she is married. There, at Paul Landowski's studio and in the heady, vibrant cafes of Montparnasse, she meets ambitious young sculptor Laurent Brouilly, and knows at once that her life will never be the same again. In this sweeping, epic tale of love and loss--the first in a unique, spellbinding series of seven novels--Lucinda Riley showcases her storytelling talent like never before.
