About the book
It's been three months since Becca’s brother died in a car accident. Instead of working through her grief, she’s chosen to hide away from the world because it’s easier than being reminded that her brother is gone.
When her absences take a toll on her grades, she’s forced to make a decision: go back to school or redo her senior year. The problem is she refuses to drive and she can’t take the bus because it passes right by the site of the accident. So despite the fact her next door neighbor gets on her nerves, she begs him to drive her.
Will being stuck with someone who is determined to see her happy again help her heal? Or will she find a way to push him away too?

But the only thing she knows for sure is that to survive, she cannot let the cruel guards discover they are not just Polish, they are Jewish…

A Brooklyn snowstorm brings together Richard, a solitary professor, Evelyn, a frightened immigrant seeking help, and Lucia, a Chilean academic with her own buried grief.

Isabel Allende delivers a sweeping story of memory, justice, and home.
Choose your retailer
About the book
New York Times and worldwide bestselling author Isabel Allende returns with a sweeping novel that journeys from present-day Brooklyn to Guatemala in the recent past to 1970s Chile and Brazil that offers “a timely message about immigration and the meaning of home” (People).
During the biggest Brooklyn snowstorm in living memory, Richard Bowmaster, a lonely university professor in his sixties, hits the car of Evelyn Ortega, a young undocumented immigrant from Guatemala, and what at first seems an inconvenience takes a more serious turn when Evelyn comes to his house, seeking help. At a loss, the professor asks his tenant, Lucia Maraz, a fellow academic from Chile, for her advice.
As these three lives intertwine, each will discover truths about how they have been shaped by the tragedies they witnessed, and Richard and Lucia will find unexpected, long overdue love. Allende returns here to themes that have propelled some of her finest work: political injustice, the art of survival, and the essential nature of—and our need for—love.

About the book
This is a spicy standalone hockey romance novel has an obsessed morally gray hero who falls first.
Finneas Alexander Barlow is a walking thirst trap. Tall, hot, and broody. Tousled brown hair, chiseled jaw, alluring green eyes, perfect teeth, well-groomed beard, broad shoulders, and lips good enough to bite. He’d look like a Disney prince if the prince was a broody ahole.
Four years ago, a fated meeting led to an inevitable hook-up. Just one. It’s his rule. One-time hook-ups, no information exchanges, and no repeats. I knew that even before he established his boundaries, and he kept his promise. I hadn’t seen or heard from him since.
A year ago, when tragedy struck, he came back to town and sought me out. Gone was the disarming grin and the innuendos he’d once used to make my knees go weak. Unfortunately, his ire was equally debilitating. Now he’s back as the face of Fairview’s brand new professional hockey team and he’s looking for answers I don’t have. Finn won’t accept that, though. He’s as determined to uncover my secrets as I am to keep them. He pushes as hard as I pull. It’s only a matter of time before the rope snaps. Now I can only hope I'm the one left standing.

A warm fit for readers who like historical queer romance, baseball, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, and emotionally grounded found family.
You Should Be So Lucky
LGBTQIA+ · Romance · Gay Romance · Historical Romance
Our take
During the 1960 baseball season, struggling shortstop Eddie O'Leary is assigned to give interviews to Mark Bailey, an arts reporter reluctantly covering his story. Their connection develops into a slow-burn queer romance shaped by grief and found family, with a 4.3-star average from more than 19,300 Goodreads ratings. A warm fit for readers who like historical queer romance, baseball, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, and emotionally grounded found family.
Choose your retailer
About the book
An emotional, slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine, queer mid-century romance for fans of Evvie Drake Starts Over, about grief and found family, between the new star shortstop stuck in a batting slump and the reporter assigned to (reluctantly) cover his first season—set in the same universe as We Could Be So Good.
The 1960 baseball season is shaping up to be the worst year of Eddie O’Leary’s life. He can’t manage to hit the ball, his new teammates hate him, he’s living out of a suitcase, and he’s homesick. When the team’s owner orders him to give a bunch of interviews to some snobby reporter, he’s ready to call it quits. He can barely manage to behave himself for the length of a game, let alone an entire season. But he’s already on thin ice, so he has no choice but to agree.
Mark Bailey is not a sports reporter. He writes for the arts page, and these days he’s barely even managing to do that much. He’s had a rough year and just wants to be left alone in his too-empty apartment, mourning a partner he’d never been able to be public about. The last thing he needs is to spend a season writing about New York’s obnoxious new shortstop in a stunt to get the struggling newspaper more readers.
Isolated together within the crush of an anonymous city, these two lonely souls orbit each other as they slowly give in to the inevitable gravity of their attraction. But Mark has vowed that he’ll never be someone’s secret ever again, and Eddie can’t be out as a professional athlete. It’s just them against the world, and they’ll both have to decide if that’s enough.

About the book
A teen girl looking for the truth about her missing mother forms a reluctant alliance with her former best friend...in exchange for hiding him from his cult-leading family.
“All hail the new queen of YA horrormance! Arndt’s unputdownable debut crackles with wit and seethes with terrors just beneath the surface. Equal parts tender and grisly, Together We Rot will sink its roots into you.”—Allison Saft, New York Times bestselling author of A Far Wilder Magic
Wil Greene and Elwood Clarke used to be inseparable. That was before she accused his family of killing her mother.
These days, Wil obsessively gathers not-so-legal evidence on her mom’s disappearance while she and her checked-out dad try to make ends meet at their failing motel. They’re a hair’s breadth away from foreclosure, and the powerful Clarkes have their eye on the property.
Elwood has been counting down the days until winter break. He hasn’t told anyone he won’t be coming back to school to finish out senior year—his pastor father is training him to lead their congregation, the Garden of Adam. But after one last night out with his friends, he comes face-to-face with a more chilling fate. He’s not his father’s successor . . . but his sacrifice.
Now on the run, Elwood knows Wil is his only hope. Together, they must dig up the truth about her mom and the Garden of Adam. But what they don’t know is that Elwood harbors another monstrous secret, growing deep inside him. Can Wil save the boy she can’t help but fall for?

About the book
An unlikely savior searching for an angel in the midst of Hell...
As a convict serving a life sentence, I shouldn't be playing the hero to the prison warden's damsel-in-distress daughter. But with ninety-nine percent of the population projected to die from a rapidly-spreading virus and society falling into chaos, the desperate, dying father’s options are limited. And since I'm immune to the virus, he puts his daughter's life in my hands with one simple directive: Find her.
I only know the warden's daughter from a photograph, but she glows like she was Heaven-sent. Protecting her gives me purpose in this godforsaken world where a sinister and uncannily-organized faction is rising from the rubble—taking control in a lawless land and rounding up the few survivors. When I finally find her, will the young woman with the innocent smile and ocean-blue eyes still shine from within? Or will the spiraling darkness snuff out her light for good?
FIND HER is a standalone, steamy apocalypse romance novel with a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
