The Stand-In
Romance · Asian Fiction · RomCom
Our take
A case of mistaken identity pulls an ordinary woman into a glittering lie just when real life is threatening to break her apart. In The Stand-In, Gracie agrees to impersonate a famous actress for the money her family desperately needs, only to find herself trapped between public performance, private grief, and an infuriating man she cannot ignore. This romantic comedy balances glamour, emotional strain, and slow-building chemistry with questions of identity and self-worth.

About the book
Featured in USA Today's "Best Rom-Coms" of May 2023 and one of the Washington Post's best romances of the year!
"The Stand-In is a charming, engaging rom com that drips in glamour and sparkles with banter. Chu's exploration of multi-racial identity was resonant and nuanced. The Stand-In is truly a stand out romance." — USA Today bestselling author Andie J. Christopher
Gracie Reed was just fired by her overly "handsy" boss at the worst possible moment. She's been scraping together every extra dollar to get her mother into a top-notch memory care center. To make matters worse, a paparazzo has mistaken her for a famous Chinese actress in town for a new project and the resulting snapshot's gone viral. Gracie's barely holding it all together…until a mysterious SUV rolls up beside her on the street, and she's offered the opportunity of a lifetime.
Gracie can't believe what she's hearing: due to their uncanny resemblance, gorgeous actress Wei Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in. The catch? Gracie will have to be escorted by Sam Yao, the other half of Chinese cinema's infamous golden couple. Problem is, Sam is the most attractive—and infuriating—man Gracie's ever met.
But if it means getting the money she needs for her mother, Gracie's in. Soon Gracie moves into a world of luxury she never knew existed. But resisting her attraction to Sam, and playing the role of an elegant movie star, proves more difficult than she ever imagined—especially when she learns the real reason Fangli so desperately needs to step out of the spotlight. In the end all the effort in the world won't be able to help Gracie keep up this elaborate ruse without losing herself...and her heart.
Readers will delight in this glamourous, swoon worthy enemies-to-lovers romance that is as hilarious as it is heart-wrenching.

Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Panthers. Fires. Floods. Trials of the Earth is the unforgettable memoir of Mary Mann Hamilton, a pioneer woman who carved out a life in the Mississippi Delta.

About the book
Before paved roads and power lines, Mary Mann Hamilton was building a life from scratch in the Mississippi Delta.
In Trials of the Earth, Hamilton shares her firsthand account of what it meant to survive as a woman on the American frontier. There were floods. Fires. Tornadoes. Snakes and panthers and bears. There was backbreaking labor, staggering loss, and moments of grit so raw they burn off the page.
Written near the end of her life and nearly lost to history, this memoir offers an unfiltered glimpse into the unsung lives that shaped the early South. With stark prose and powerful honesty, Hamilton captures a time and spirit few today can imagine.
This is not a romanticized pioneer tale. It is a testament to survival, sacrifice, and quiet heroism.

A luxury cruise ship sinks off the Florida coast. The explosion is blamed on ecoterrorism, but Sloan McPherson isn’t buying the official story.
As a deep-water diver with the Underwater Investigation Unit, Sloan knows when something smells off. Clues are vanishing beneath the waves. A tropical storm is closing in. And the authorities seem far too eager to wrap things up.
What starts as a salvage operation quickly spirals into a high-stakes conspiracy. With each dive, Sloan uncovers more than just wreckage—she’s unearthing secrets someone would rather drown.
The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes. This wasn’t an accident. And whoever’s behind it has the money, power, and motive to make sure she never resurfaces with the truth.

Reality bends, sanity wobbles, and stupidity reigns in this gloriously weird third entry in Jason Pargin’s cult-favorite series.
What the Hell Did I Just Read
Horror · Thriller
Our take
Reality bends, sanity wobbles, and stupidity reigns in this gloriously weird third entry in Jason Pargin’s cult-favorite series. What the Hell Did I Just Read mixes cosmic horror with pitch-black humor, unhinged monsters, and zero respect for genre rules. With 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon, it's smart, stupid, and probably unsafe to read alone.

About the book
Dave, John, and Amy are back. Which means something horrifying, stupid, or cosmically wrong is about to happen. Probably all three.
This time it starts with a missing child. Simple enough, until said child may or may not be an interdimensional shapeshifter. As the trio investigates, reality starts to unravel in the most inconvenient and deeply inappropriate ways. Because when you're knee-deep in illusions, lies, and your own incompetence, the universe tends to take that personally.
Is this story true? That’s what They want you to ask. Is it disturbing, hilarious, and somehow existentially destabilizing? Absolutely.
What the Hell Did I Just Read takes cosmic horror, drags it through a pile of greasy fast food wrappers, and dares you to make sense of any of it.

About the book
"An edge-of-your-seat tale of suspense paired with a heart-stopping romance . . . Love blooms amid the gritty realism of Sidney Bell's harrowing plot." —Sarina Bowen, USA Today–bestselling author
Released after five years in the system for assault, streetwise Edgar-Allen Church is ready to leave the past behind and finally look to his future. In need of a place to crash, he's leaning on Miller Quinn. A patient, solidly masculine pillar of strength and support, Miller has always been there for him—except in the one way Church has wanted the most.
With his staunchly conservative upbringing, Miller has been playing it straight his whole life. Now with Church so close again, it's getting harder to keep his denial intact. As they fumble their way back to friendship after so many years apart, Miller struggles to find the courage to accept who he really is. What he has with Church could be more than desire—it could be love. But it could also mean trouble.
Church's criminal connections are closing in on the both of them, and more than their hearts are at risk. This time, their very lives are on the line.
Don't miss the next titles in Sidney Bell's male/male romance series: Hard Line and Rough Trade.

Our take
Crown Prince Phillip secretly travels to an Italian village to propose to the woman who best fits his carefully designed marriage criteria, only to find that Alessia distrusts him and love refuses to follow his spreadsheet.

About the book
Crown Prince Phillip of Elsinore is nothing if not practical. With his father’s health failing, the royal family expects him to find a suitable wife. So he does what any spreadsheet-loving heir would do—builds a rubric.
His top match? A charming woman running a small-town Italian café. Alessia checks every box, so Phillip sneaks away to propose like it’s a business transaction.
Unfortunately, feelings aren’t quantifiable.
Alessia is unimpressed by his credentials and even less enchanted by his proposal. But Phillip isn’t giving up. Especially now that his heart has gone completely off script.
Winning her over might cost him the crown, but logic has officially left the building. And when love throws a royal curveball, not even a rubric can fix it.

I Am Not Myself These Days
Biographies & Memoirs · LGBTQIA+
Our take
A New York Times bestselling memoir called “absolutely hilarious and heartbreaking and heartfelt” by Armistead Maupin, I Am Not Myself These Days follows Josh Kilmer-Purcell’s dual life as a New York advertising art director by day and glitter-dripping drag queen by night, with a 4.3-star rating from more than 900 Amazon reviewers.

About the book
"A glittering, bittersweet vision of an outsider who turned himself into the life and soul of the party. Kilmer-Purcell's cast is part freak-show, part soap-opera, but his prose is graced with such insight and wit that the laughter is revelatory, and the tears—and there are tears to be shed along this extraordinary journey—are shed for people in whom everybody will find something of themselves. In a word, wonderful." — Clive Barker
"Absolutely hilarious and heartbreaking and heartfelt." —Armistead Maupin, author of Tales of the City
The New York Times bestselling, darkly funny memoir of a young New Yorker's daring dual life—advertising art director by day, glitter-dripping drag queen and nightclub beauty-pageant hopeful by night—was a smash literary debut for Josh Kilmer-Purcell, now known for his popular Planet Green television series The Fabulous Beekman Boys. His story begins here—before the homemade goat milk soaps and hand-gathered honeys, before his memoir of the city mouse's move to the country, The Bucolic Plague—in I Am Not Myself These Days, with "plenty of dishy anecdotes and moments of tragi-camp delight" (Washington Post).

About the book
A Michael L. Printz Honor Book
"This is East Texas, and there's lines. Lines you cross, lines you don't cross. That clear?"
New London, Texas. 1937. Naomi Vargas and Wash Fuller know about the lines in East Texas as well as anyone. They know the signs that mark them. They know the people who enforce them. But sometimes the attraction between two people is so powerful it breaks through even the most entrenched color lines. And the consequences can be explosive.
Ashley Hope Pérez takes the facts of the 1937 New London school explosion—the worst school disaster in American history—as a backdrop for a riveting novel about segregation, love, family, and the forces that destroy people.
"[This] layered tale of color lines, love and struggle in an East Texas oil town is a pit-in-the-stomach family drama that goes down like it should, with pain and fascination, like a mix of sugary medicine and artisanal moonshine."—The New York Times Book Review
"Pérez deftly weaves [an] unflinchingly intense narrative....A powerful, layered tale of forbidden love in times of unrelenting racism."—Kirkus Reviews
"This book presents a range of human nature, from kindness and love to acts of racial and sexual violence. The work resonates with fear, hope, love, and the importance of memory....Set against the backdrop of an actual historical event, Pérez...gives voice to many long-omitted facets of U.S. history."—School Library Journal
