Hugo Roman Over the limit - French version
A forbidden love in the world of Formula 1, from the author of the New York Times bestselling Driven series. You don't touch a teammate's ex. That's the rule. But it's easier said than done when it comes to Blair Carmichael. She's sexy, brilliant, breathtakingly beautiful, and utterly unattainable. I've never been so crazy about anyone. Except she's completely off-limits. (Even though I dream of only one thing: touching her.) My team's success and my chances of landing a new contract for next season depend on my ability to keep my hands on the wheel. And away from its curves. As the season progresses, we secretly experience as many stolen moments as possible—in hotel rooms, after races, anywhere we won't be caught. A public relationship would jeopardize her job in the sport, her reputation, and my image—not to mention my already strained relationship with my teammate. I've lived my whole life with one motto: The team first. Any desire outside of racing was never a consideration. Until now. Until Blair. She deserves the very best, and I intend to give it to her. Even if it means giving up the most important contract of my career.

Les Éditions de La Presse The lie of the century: anatomy of a media and judicial blunder
Marie-Anne Houde, known as "the stepmother", was the victim of a hostile press and a biased court: this is the historical truth of this century-old national tragedy. In Quebec City in 1920, Marie-Anne Houde underwent a trial during which the scandalous details of the tortures she allegedly inflicted on her stepdaughter, Aurore Gagnon, known as the "child martyr," were laid bare. Wary of sensationalist newspapers, the contemporaries of the cursed "stepmother" swallowed all the outrageous claims made in a blatantly biased court of law. And, following their example, generation after generation, we have fed on the same lies. It's time to show this legal case for what it truly is. Did Aurore Gagnon really suffer a martyrdom? That's far from certain. On the other hand, it's likely that her stepmother, Marie-Anne Houde, was the victim of a miscarriage of justice.

Les Éditions de La Presse Happy, slim, and free: the 4 golden rules to regain control of your brain and your weight
After years of trying virtually every diet imaginable to lose weight, Susan Peirce Thompson, a doctor of cognitive neuroscience, had to face the facts: not only did she regain the weight she had lost within a few weeks, but exercise was doing nothing to help. Convinced that the situation could be corrected, she discovered the solution within the brain: "We need to change our cultural approach to being overweight by redefining it for what it truly is—that is, neither a lack of willpower nor a moral failing, but rather the byproduct of a brain held hostage by our modern diet," she asserts. This discovery would change her life and the lives of thousands of others, as evidenced by this powerful book. In it, the author reveals the four golden rules that have the power to control our brains and help us lose weight permanently. Susan Peirce Thompson, PhD in cognitive neuroscience, taught for eight years at the University of Rochester. Published in 2017, her book *Bright Line Eating: The Science of Living Happy, Thin and Free* quickly became a bestseller in several countries.

Les Éditions de La Presse Criticism never killed anyone: memoirs
I loved being a journalist. I loved writing for a newspaper, being published, informing readers. Not changing the world, no, nothing so grand, but changing mindsets, making people react, touching them, positively or negatively. Participating in a great open conversation, which sometimes perhaps led nowhere, but what did it matter, the essential thing was to be part of it.” Nathalie Petrowski. With a pen as sharp as her character, Nathalie Petrowski has always been a free spirit. In *This Criticism Never Killed Anyone*, she delivers, without evasion or settling scores, her memoirs as a journalist. The memoirs of a woman who, from P'tit Simard to Marie-Mai, from Forcier to Dolan, from René Lévesque to Manon Massé, and from Jerrold to the iPad, casts a passionate and critical eye on culture, journalism, and its challenges. A book that offers a privileged glimpse into the rapid evolution of Quebec society over the last 40 years.

Les Éditions de La Presse Guy Latraverse: 50 years of Quebec showbiz
Guy Latraverse and Quebec showbiz are inseparable. His unwavering faith in local talent—including Jean-Pierre Ferland, Robert Charlebois, Yvon Deschamps, and Diane Dufresne—made him the biggest-time show producer in Quebec. The first to present a Quebec artist performing solo at Place des Arts, the Forum, and the Olympic Stadium, in addition to being involved in bringing major French stars to Quebec and producing numerous large-scale shows for stage and television, he was also a co-founder of ADISQ and the FrancoFolies. In his autobiography, this man of action tells his story simply: his successes and failures, his relationships with the various artists whose careers he managed or whose shows he produced, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes. He speaks candidly about the bipolar disorder he suffers from and the impact it has had on his career and personal life, as well as the promise he made to himself to help thousands of Quebecers with bipolar disorder find hope through the Revivre Foundation.

Les Éditions de La Presse Taste buds for everyone! Aromatic winter cuisine - 200 recipes
The "Taste Buds for Everyone!" collection continues with the release of the second volume: Aromatic Winter Cuisine. Just like in Aromatic Autumn Cuisine, it features some 200 "classic" recipes with a Chartier twist, designed to fill our tables with new aromatic flavors and simplify our cooking. Through his exploration of harmonious flavor combinations, François Chartier has determined the aromatic profile of a multitude of dishes by isolating the dominant ingredient. For example, he breathes new life into a maple syrup pudding, sharing his new insights and recipe ideas with his collaborator, Stéphane Modat, who then adjusts and transforms the recipe. Since curry is in the same family as maple syrup, they suggest flavoring the classic maple syrup pudding with curry! This simple dish is transformed into a harmonious creation! Readers can thus give a new identity to their favorite recipes, thanks to the new aromatic synergies suggested by the authors. They will also be able to more easily achieve perfect pairings with liquids (wines, beers, sakes, spirits, etc.) thanks to suggestions that are easy for everyone to understand. With "Papilles pour tous!" (Taste Buds for Everyone!), readers will reinvent their everyday cooking with surprising ease. Say goodbye to food pairing headaches with "Papilles pour tous!"
