Danilo Osorio Jr.’s baseball skills were once the pride of his father and entire hometown of El Chorrillo, Panamá. But that was then, and this is now…

Following 1989's Operation Just Cause, a US military invasion that left his neighborhood decimated, Danilo couldn’t care less about baseball or the father who abandoned him for opportunities in the States. Now Danilo’s focus is taking care of his mamá and sister and trying to save them all from needing to relocate to a refugee camp.

When Danilo unintentionally catches the eye of a baseball recruiter and is offered the opportunity to visit and train in California—the same place as his father’s last known address—he is tasked with deciding to go or stay. But if playing baseball could help him find his father and secure the extra funds his family needs, Danilo is willing to travel anywhere, even to the very country responsible for destroying his home.

Between his tough-as-nails baseball coach, ultracompetitive teammates, and overly enthusiastic host family, Danilo’s plans encounter some curveballs. And when his turn to bat finally comes, he’ll have to decide what and who he’s actually fighting for.

When Denzel “Denz” Carter’s workaholic father and CEO of 24 Carter Gold unexpectedly announces his retirement, the competition is on for who will become his successor. To convince his judgmental family members that Denz is capable of commitment he impulsively lies about being in a serious relationship. Problem is the last serious relationship he was in hung him high and dry after leaving the continent.

Now Denz needs to find a fake boyfriend to bring to family functions and seal the deal on the CEO position. To do so he enlists the help of his best friend and roommate, Jamie. Someone his family already accepts in their inner circle. But when his BFF is a no-show, Denz is forced to turn to the last person he wants to be in a pretend (or any) relationship with: Braylon, the man who broke his heart.

Braylon’s sudden reappearance in Denz’s life turns everything upside down. But apparently, he needs Denz’s connections to the mayor to win his own promotion and Denz is currently up a creek without a paddle. So, they strike a deal. It’s all business, but between the funny texts and the confusing kisses soon enough Denz is struggling to separate business from the affairs of his heart.

In Julian Winters's I think They Love You, sometimes fake dating your way to success can mean finding the second chance at love you've needed all along.

When an Archangel named Selaphiela is unjustly cast from Heaven and stripped of her divine power, her existence is turned upside down. Now a mortal, she is tasked with a crucial mission: to save a broken soul and prove her loyalty to the celestial realm she once called home. As Selaphiela navigates the complexities of human life, she remains unaware of the dark forces unfolding behind the scenes. 
In a tale woven with destiny and betrayal, the fates of three strangers become intertwined as they confront their own demons. With time running out and evil lurking in the shadows, Selaphiela must reclaim her strength and forge unexpected alliances.

A definitive selection of Audre Lorde’s "intelligent, fierce, powerful, sensual, provocative, indelible" (Roxane Gay) prose and poetry, for a new generation of readers.

Self-described "black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet" Audre Lorde is an unforgettable voice in twentieth-century literature, and one of the first to center the experiences of black, queer women. This essential reader showcases her indelible contributions to intersectional feminism, queer theory, and critical race studies in twelve landmark essays and more than sixty poems―selected and introduced by one of our most powerful contemporary voices on race and gender, Roxane Gay.

Among the essays included here are:

"The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action"
"The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House"
"I Am Your Sister"
Excerpts from the American Book Award–winning A Burst of Light
The poems are drawn from Lorde’s nine volumes, including The Black Unicorn and National Book Award finalist From a Land Where Other People Live. Among them are:

"Martha"
"A Litany for Survival"
"Sister Outsider"
"Making Love to Concrete"

What happens when unpacking your emotional baggage reveals more than you bargained for?

On Chicago's South Side, in the fictional close-knit community of Ebondale, four friends join a unique therapy group, where secrets and long-hidden truths rise to the surface, testing the bonds of their sisterhood in ways that could either tear them apart or bring them closer than ever.

Each woman shoulders emotional scars that weigh heavily on her spirit. When a scandal threatens to unravel their fragile peace, will these best friends turn on each other, or will they trust in the healing power of truth?

Follow Josie, Londyn, Mia, and Brianna as they strip away the facades they've hidden behind for years, facing deep wounds and harsh realities on their path to healing, self-awareness, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood. Their journey of strength and transformation mirrors the challenges many of us face. Are you prepared to embrace the truth?

One lost human.
One stunning fairy.
A journey of warmth

The forest is just a challenging hike for 31-year-old Maurice, a Black Portland Oregon software tech looking for a new hobby. Until he’s hopelessly lost, a moving branch slashes his leg, and he’s passing out from the pain.

Waking in the tree-top home of Sunniva, the most beautiful Black woman he’s ever seen feels like a dream…especially when she spreads her wings. But as she tends to his wounds, her warm touch is very real.

So, it comes as no surprise that Sunniva is a Sun Fairy when things literally heat up between them. And Maurice will come to discover that his search for a simple new hobby has just become a whole new life.

The Sunlit Fairy: Lost And Found (63k words) contains fairy dust, polyamory, open communication, male emotional vulnerability, and sunbathing.

Skye Nickson’s world changed forever when her dad went on the run with her brother, Finn. It’s been four years without Finn’s jokes, four years without her father’s old soul music, and four years of Skye filling in as Rent-a-Finn on his MIA birthdays for their mom. Finn’s birthday is always difficult, but at least Skye has her best friends, Reece and Jax, to lean on, even if Reece has started acting too cool for them.

But this year is different because after Finn’s birthday, they get a call that he’s finally been found. Tall, quiet, and secretive, this Finn is nothing like the brother she grew up with. He keeps taking late-night phone calls and losing his new expensive gifts, and he doesn’t seem to remember any of their inside jokes or secrets.

As Skye tries to make sense of it all through the lens of her old Polaroid camera, she starts to wonder: Could this Finn be someone else entirely? And if everyone else has changed, does it mean that Skye has to change too?

Thrown into a world of danger, nineteen-year-old Clairabelle Keita must navigate a life-threatening mission in Kinnisiseq—a town far removed from her peaceful past—in search of The Tea Master. Upon meeting him, she explains her mission: revenge for the brutal destruction of her village. As Clairabelle challenges The Tea Master to join her quest, the pivotal moment approaches—will he embrace the call to arms, or remain an observer in the face of vengeance against a formidable foe: The Seventh Kingdom.

Hidden in our world, a society of vampires originating in Africa, can only feed from select human bloodlines. Each bloodline represents a House more cutthroat than the last. To ensure peaceful co-existence and inherit their legacy, human children of these families must study at an elite university before choosing a vampire companion.
 
Lost Heiress Kidan Adane grew up far from Uxlay University. She is obsessively protective, mildly nihilistic, and willing to do anything to save her loved ones. When her sister, June, disappears, Kidan is convinced a vampire stole her—the same vampire bound to her own House, the cruel yet captivating Susenyos Sagad. 
 
To stay in Uxlay, Kidan must study an arcane philosophy, work with four enigmatic students, and survive living with Susenyos--even as he does everything to drive her away. It doesn’t matter that Susenyos’ violence speaks to her own and tempts Kidan to surrender to a life of darkness. She must find her sister and kill him at all costs.
 
When a murder mirroring June’s disappearance shakes Uxlay, Kidan sinks further into the ruthless underworld of vampires, risking her very soul. Here, she discovers a centuries-old threat. And June could be at the center of it. To save her sister, Kidan must bring Uxlay to its knees and either break underneath the horrors of her own actions or embrace the dark entanglements of love—and the blood it requires.

Witchy family secrets, demon bodyguards, and a family reunion from the underworld.

In the wake of harrowing events—a doorstep strewn with corpses and losing a dear friend—Selena, the reluctant mirror witch, craves only peace. Yet fate, like an unyielding tide, drags her into the depths of the underworld to confront her estranged father, a being of both angelic and demonic descent.

With vengeful demons hot on her trail, Selena's father insists on her return, deploying none other than Raesean, a demon known for his allure and charm—a figure Selena would rather avoid despite his captivating presence.
As they journey through the dangerous underworld, facing relentless assaults and uncertain alliances, Selena questions her decision to embark on this treacherous path. Then, amidst the chaos, a mysterious woman infiltrates her father's domain, unearthing long-buried family secrets that resonate through the very fabric of existence.

To survive the Abyss and protect those she holds dear, Selena must navigate the precarious landscape of her powers while grappling with her destiny—whether to stand alongside her father as a force for order or defy him and risk chaos. For if she falters, the consequences will be dire, and the heads of demons may indeed roll, leaving chaos in their wake.

Can Selena harness the depths of her magic and the strength within to forge her own path, or will she succumb to the machinations of destiny and the shadows that lurk in every mirror's reflection? In this tale of moral ambiguity, Selena must tread carefully, for in the underworld, even the most innocuous choices can lead to perilous consequences.

Thrown into a desolate land of sickness and unnatural beasts, Kai wakes in the woods with no idea who she is or how she got there. All she knows is that if she cannot reach the Sea of Devour, even this hellscape will get worse. But when she sees the village blacksmith fight invaders with unspeakable skill, she decides to accept his offer of help.

Too bad he’s as skilled at annoying her as he is at fighting.

As she searches for answers, Kai only finds more questions, especially regarding the blacksmith who can ignite her body like a flame, then douse it with ice in the next breath.

And no one is what―or who―they appear to be in the kingdom of Vinevridth, including the man whose secrets might be as deadly as the land itself.

From the ruins of Freya's temple, a new era of gods have risen. Carrying the power of those who came before them, they're tasked with doing what their predecessors could not — protecting the realm from the time beings who want to see it destroyed. It's an impossible task that leaves them with no room for failure.

But when their greatest enemy offers to become their ally, offering up Freya's darkest secrets in exchange for their trust, Brandi begins to question who it is they should be protecting the realm from — the time beings or the gods?

Weighed down with more questions than answers, Brandi chooses the path of greatest destruction. She'll lead the rebellion against the queendom, have Sarah bid for the throne, and escort Adam Bertanal to the gods herself. And anyone who defies her will learn what it means to face the true wrath of a god.

In this richly imagined and unconventionally told debut collection, Avitus B. Carle turns tradition on its head, discarding and reframing antiquated portraits of women and girls as damsels, princesses, and homemakers relegated to lives of cleaning and baking and waiting in towers to be rescued or to receive a truly forced first kiss. Instead, Carle’s characters face the world head-on in unique, bold, and unexpected ways.

Symone Watson’s first day out of orientation couldn’t be any sweeter:

Enlisted to the greatest superpowered defense unit in Uri City, whisked on a hovercraft to take on her first mission, a brand-new uniform to break in, and an exclusive mentorship with the Company’s top Defender and Elite Unit Leader – Malcolm Bennett.

Malcolm’s day, meanwhile, couldn’t be any worse:

Chewed out by his boss for failing the last mission, saddled with another newbie on the Elite Unit, and still reeling from the nightmares that haunt him worse than the countless opponents he’s faced over the years.

While Symone’s insatiable appetite for a real brawl drives her to break down Malcolm’s impenetrable emotional walls, the greatest threat to Uri City’s powered population emerges and goads the superpowered Defenders into a maniacal race against the clock to stop him and his team of assassins from murdering one of the Company’s own. As Malcolm and Symone’s relationship evolves, the threads that bind their hearts and their powers together may prove to be the key to the survival of the Defenders, the Company, and all of Uri City.

She was a shadow.

Forced into a life of serving the queendom before she was old enough to deny them, Brandi was a cultivator of death and the queen’s own blade, reserved only for the disloyal and the blasphemous. Crafted by the queendom and forged in blood, she was nothing more than a tool. She was never meant to have an opinion on whose blood she shed — never meant to question whose back she was pressed into or whose throat she was slipped across.

She was destruction.

But when Freya, the goddess of life and judger of souls, demands that she protect rather than destroy, Brandi has no choice but to obey her new orders. And while abandoning the queendom comes with its own set of problems, being hunted by the people she once called family is the least of her worries when the gods reveal to her an enemy who exists beyond the reach of their power. So, with a helpless princess in tow, she begins her search for a way to fight this impossible enemy and save the realm from destruction.

Because she is the wrath of the gods.

And it was foolish for anyone to forget that.
