In the spring of 1957, Jacob Versteeg is graduating from high school at the top of his class. Quite an accomplishment for a guy who spent his young childhood in a German concentration camp. When the war ended, he was adopted by Huub Versteeg, a kind fellow POW at Bergen-Belsen who had taken him under his wing. For ten years Jacob grew up in Chicago surrounded by the love of his new family, including Danny and Anya McClain and their two young children. In fact, he has thrived.
But Jacob still struggles to understand the void left in his heart by his German parents who discarded him at the doorstep of war. After his first year at Wheaton College, Jacob joins a summer study course in West Germany. There, he realizes he must gather his courage to overcome his past if he's ever to complete his long journey from war.
"No one writes love stories with more heart, more swoons, and more sizzle" (Joanna Shupe, USA Today bestselling author) in this clever reimaging of Snow White, where a handsome businessman must decide whom to trust with his heart-but with danger looming, it's his life, not his love, at risk.
Barbara Leaming's Marilyn Monroe is a complex, sympathetic portrait that will totally change the way we view the most enduring icon of American sexuality. To those who think they have heard all there is to hear about Marilyn Monroe, think again. Leaming's book tells a brand-new tale of sexual, psychological, and political intrigue of the highest order. Told for the first time in all its complexity, this is a compelling portrait of a woman at the center of a drama with immensely high stakes, a drama in which the other players are some of the most fascinating characters from the worlds of movies, theater, and politics. It is a book that shines a bright light on one of the most tumultuous, frightening, and exciting periods in American culture.
Basing her research on new interviews and on thousands of primary documents, Leaming has reconstructed the tangles of betrayal in Marilyn's life. For the first time, a master storyteller has put together all of the pieces and told Marilyn's story with the intensity and drama it so richly deserves.
At the heart of this book is a sexual triangle and a riveting story of betrayal that has never been told before. You will come away filled with new respect for Marilyn's incredible courage, dignity, and loyalty, and an overwhelming sense of tragedy.
Eighteen-year-old clairvoyant Blake Wilder stumbles across the body of a beautiful young woman outside The Lower 8, a nightclub exclusively for those with paranormal abilities. All evidence points to club owner Jessie McCabe as the killer, but Blake's desire to discover the truth about the man who has gotten under her skin is complicated by the arrival of her younger sister, Jordan, a girl devastated to learn the hard way that paranormal abilities run in families.
Adding to Blake's growing worries is the absence of boyfriend Nicholas Thorne, who returned to Alder House-the ancestral home of the ancient society just outside of London-only to vanish from her life without a trace. An urgent phone call from Nicholas's ex lures Blake away from Jessie and Jordan-and straight into the crosshairs of some of the most treacherous and powerful Nines at Alder House.
In a story packed with romance, intrigue, and magic, Blake will be forced to fight for the truth, her life, and the future of all those she loves.
Two paths, one fate.
Lucan now knows who-and what-Mackenzie truly is. She is Terra, the supernatural boogieman whose tales of carnage are used by parents to bring wayward children in line.
But she's captive, and the longer it takes to free her, the less choice he has-break the bond, or die.
Mackenzie-thrust back into the nightmare of her childhood-learns the awful truth. Her captors have no mercy . . . and now they know how to force her to do their bidding. Her Achilles' heel. And they'll use that knowledge against her in the worst possible way. But as her hopes for rescue dwindle, she must use every bit of her wits and skills just to survive. Because even in darkness, light can be found.
Mackenzie must hold out long enough for those she loves to free her, but every passing second brings her closer to crumbling under the weight of a past she can't outrun.
You're only paranoid if nobody's out to get you.
Mackenzie's paranoia hasn't ebbed, if anything, it's only gotten worse, and it's starting to wear thin on her family. Add in a new familiar, and her sister's sudden rebellion, and tempers ignite.
As a hunter for Catch and Release, Mackenzie doesn't choose her assignments, they are chosen for her. So, when Lucan has doubts about the security for the upcoming peace summit, he hires Mackenzie to be his deadly arm candy.
But being on Lucan's arm has an unexpected effect.
He's the Dragon Protector, and she should know better than to get attached, but despite her best effort, her feelings for him spark into something more.
As the summit drags on and things heat up Mackenzie receives a terrifying message and she's forced to choose: freedom or the life of someone she's bound to protect. However, Mackenzie's choices have deeper consequences, as secrets she has carefully guarded are about to be revealed . . .
The Dragon Protector asking Mackenzie for a favor-maybe the sky truly has fallen . . .
Mackenzie works for Catch and Release, a bounty-hunting guild, and she loves her job.
She goes after the usual suspects: Rogue vampires, feral shifters, and crazed mages. Nightmare stuff.
The last thing she ever imagined was Lucan, an infuriating and high-ranking dragon shifter, hiring her to find a child kidnapped from his Tribe.
Even though her magical talents lean more towards bodyguarding and hunting dangerous beings, condemning a kid to death isn't who she is.
But as Mackenzie gets deeper into her hunt, she uncovers deadly secrets surrounding the child, the kidnapper, and Lucan himself . . .
One thing's for sure; when the going gets tough, Mackenzie gets dangerous!
George-Étienne and his children have formed The House of Styx, after finding a mysterious artefact on the surface of Venus herself. But with the discovery comes great risk, not only from a planet that kills with its very touch but also from the banks and powers of old Earth, who

Caught between realities, a mathematician, a book dealer, and a mobster desperately seek a notorious book that disappears upon being read. Only the author, a rakish sci-fi writer, knows whether his popular novel is truthful or a hoax. In a story that is cosmic, inventive, and sly, multi-award-winning author Lavie Tidhar (Central Station) travels from the emergence of life to the very ends of the universe.
Delia Welegtabit discovered two things during her childhood on a South Pacific island: her love for mathematics and a novel that isn’t supposed to exist. But the elusive book proves unexpectedly dangerous. Oskar Lens, a science fiction–obsessed mobster in the midst of an existential crisis, will stop at nothing to find the novel. After Delia’s husband, Levi, goes missing, she seeks help from Daniel Chase, a young, face-blind book dealer.
The infamous novel Lode Stars was written by the infamous Eugene Charles Hartley: legendary pulp science-fiction writer and founder of the Church of the All-Seeing Eyes. In Hartley’s novel, a doppelganger of Delia searches for her missing father in a strange star system. But is any of Lode Stars real? Was Hartley a cynical conman on a quest for wealth and immortality, creating a religion he did not believe in? Or was he a visionary who truly discovered the secrets of the universe?
The power of the one is the power of the many.

When she witnesses a series of bizarre murders that have not yet occurred, it's not long before the killer learns of her visions. Blake must decide whether to trust her head or her heart in a race to unmask the murderer before she is the next to die.
From an author known for her "powerful and passionate" work comes a story with an enchanting twist on Cinderella (Eva Leigh, bestselling author): a charming heiress must marry to save her family's business, but the man she dreams of is the one she can't have.
London, 1832: Isabelle Lira may be in distress, but she's no damsel. Since her father's death, his former partners have sought to oust her from their joint equity business. Her only choice is to marry-and fast-to a powerful ally outside the respected Berab family's sphere of influence. Only finding the right spouse will require casting a wide net. So she'll host a series of festivals, to which every eligible Jewish man is invited.
Once, Aaron Ellenberg longed to have a family of his own. But as the synagogue custodian, he is too poor for wishes and not foolish enough for dreams. Until the bold, beautiful Isabelle Lira presents him with an irresistible offer . . . if he ensures her favored suitors have no hidden loyalties to the Berabs, she will provide him with money for a new life.
Yet the transaction provides surprising temptation, as Aaron and Isabelle find caring and passion in the last person they each expected. Only a future for them is impossible-for heiresses don't marry orphans, and love only conquers in children's tales. But if Isabelle can find the courage to trust her heart, she'll discover anything is possible, if only she says yes.
By beginning a conversation that encourages self-examination and compassion, Combined Destinies invites readers to look at how white Americans have been hurt by the very ideology that their ancestors created. Editors Ann Todd Jealous and Caroline T. Haskell, both experienced psychotherapists skilled at facilitating dialogue about racial issues, are cognizant of the challenges that even the thought of such conversations often presents. Their book is based on the premise that for positive and lasting change to occur, hearts as well as minds must be opened.
This courageous anthology posits that unearned privilege has damaged the psyche of white people as well as their capacity to understand racism. Drawing on the intimate stories of diverse contributors, Combined Destinies is organized thematically, with individual chapters focusing on topics such as guilt, shame, silence, and resistance.
