About the book
A grumpy chef. A free-spirited nanny. A small-town romance as sweet as syrup.
World-renowned chef Archer never planned to leave the big city, let alone run a pancake restaurant in a charming small town. But Dream Harbor offers something he desperately needs—a fresh start and a community to help raise his daughter, Olive.
Iris has never stayed in one place for long, and she’s definitely not nanny material. But when the brooding single dad needs help, she finds herself stepping in. The more time she spends in Dream Harbor—with its cozy diners, warm-hearted locals, and one very adorable little girl—the more she starts to wonder… what if this was home?
From the bestselling author of The Pumpkin Spice Café, The Strawberry Patch Pancake House is a heartwarming small-town romance perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Gilmore Girls.

But as Hump delves deeper, he realizes there’s more to his master’s magic than he ever imagined. And in a world where power means everything, even a hedge wizard might become something greater.

About the book
He requires a wife. She needs to kill him. All’s fair in pursuit of love and revenge.
What’s a vampire to do when the fae who made her an orphan is searching for a wife?
Make him choose her and end his life on their wedding night, of course.
Brynleigh has been carefully planning this for years. Her plan is simple: date Ryker Waterborn, the Fae Representative’s son, make him fall in love with her, and kill him after they say, “I do.”
Unfortunately, it will not be that easy. She won’t be the only one going after Ryker’s hand. Far from it. Two dozen men and women are competing in the Choosing, each searching for their perfect partner. The catch? It’s a blind selection process, and contestants won’t see each other until they have made their choice.
Nothing will stand between Brynleigh and her revenge, not even a competition for love.
A Game of Love and Betrayal is the first book in The Choosing Chronicles, a captivating enemies-to-lovers, new adult contemporary high fantasy romance.
This is a series of three planned duologies with an overarching arc. Each duology will have a happy ending for the couple at the end of the second book.

About the book
FX/Hulu’s Shōgun won nineteen Emmys, four Golden Globes, and four Critics Choice Awards. The most talked about and awarded series on television. Read the book that started it all!
By #1 New York Times bestselling author James Clavell, Shōgun, the classic epic novel of feudal Japan that captured the heart of a culture and the imagination of the world, is now available for the first time in serial format. Part One contains the first half of the complete novel.
After Englishman John Blackthorne is lost at sea, he awakens in a place few Europeans know of and even fewer have seen: Nippon. Thrust into the closed society that is seventeenth-century Japan, a land where the line between life and death is razor-thin, Blackthorne must negotiate not only a foreign people, with unknown customs and language, but also his own definitions of morality, truth, and freedom. As internal political strife and a clash of cultures lead to seemingly inevitable conflict, Blackthorne’s loyalty and strength of character are tested by both passion and loss, and he is torn between two worlds that will each be forever changed.
Powerful and engrossing, capturing both the rich pageantry and stark realities of life in feudal Japan, Shōgun is a critically acclaimed powerhouse of a book. Heart-stopping, edge-of-your-seat action melds seamlessly with intricate historical detail and raw human emotion. Endlessly compelling, this sweeping saga captivated the world to become not only one of the best-selling novels of all time but one of the highest-rated television miniseries, as well as inspiring a nationwide surge of interest in the culture of Japan. Shakespearean in both scope and depth, Shōgun is, as the New York Times put it, “not only something you read—you live it.”

She was created by genetic engineering. Now they want her dead.
In a society where the genetically enhanced rule all, Brie Melrose only ever wanted to blend in.

Blessed with supreme intellect, they consider emotions to be pointless.
And, in some cases, dangerous…
Soon, she is to be invited into Inner Haven, the sanctuary of the Enhanced where she’ll come into contact with some strange and dangerous people.
People who want things from her.
People who know things about her past.
And before long, threats she never even knew existed will begin to close in, and Brie will learn that her world, and the city of Haven, isn’t quite what she thought it was.
And neither is she…
