But one day he discovers an unusual door that leads to a circular room with walls made of rough stone. The light coming through the window is hazy, as if the room is under water. It is a magic room—which he calls “The Adopted Room”—belonging to another world. And on a bed in the room sits a boy who is waiting to take Achim with him into the realm of the powerful Nameless One. Achim learns that the boy, Arnim, is the long-dead son of Achim’s new parents. When he died in a car accident at the age of four, Arnim was supposed to have become a bird and flown free to the land of the dead, which can be seen through the window of The Adopted Room. But the Nameless One has somehow locked Arnim inside, so he cannot leave. Achim, however, finds he can turn into a bird, slip through the window, and fly across the strange land. And thus begins a journey in which Achim must fight the Nameless One and free Arnim so he can finally leave his parents and they can let go of their grief. Antonia Michaelis’s fresh voice helps to address the delicate issues of death, grief, and mourning, portraying them as an essential part of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sebastian St. James needed an ego check in the worst way. All my instincts screamed "run" the moment we met. The instructions were unclear, so I ran after him. I slapped him. Then I gave him the tongue lashing of a lifetime. And then... well, he locked the door and returned the favor. Mission gloriously failed, if you asked me. We both agreed to part ways like adults. No strings. No attachments. Except I couldn't stand that he'd been able to walk away so easily. So I did the only reasonable thing I could. I threw coffee in his face a few months later at his book signing. I escaped security over a fence and broke my fall with my face. Before I knew it, I was recovering in Sebastian's mansion. Then he offered me a job watching his cat and staying in his house. I wish I could say I stared into his dreamy eyes and told him to bite me. But I needed the job more than I wanted to admit. So now I'm bunked with an obnoxiously attractive roommate. A roommate I somehow want to strangle and straddle at the same time. But there's nothing to worry about. Sebastian "doesn't do relationships." All he does is brood, glower, and boss me around. And just when I think I've put up the perfect walls, the plot (and my waistline) thickens... I'm pregnant, and the baby's probably going to come out with cute little horns and a pitchfork. A full-length enemies-to-lovers, secret baby romance loaded with laugh-out-loud moments, crackling chemistry, and a lovable heroine who would look the devil in the eyes and make him say "please". The jaded millionaire grump meets his match when his mischievous cat-sitter drags him kicking and grumbling to his Happily Ever After.
