Collection: Adult

A deadly game of cat and mouse unfolds when a housewife with a secret life takes on a tech billionaire with secrets darker than her own . . . from the author of How I'll Kill You.

Margaux leads a double life that would make most people dizzy. By day, she's a seemingly ordinary interior decorator with a picture-perfect marriage. By night, she works for a mysterious employer known only as Mr. X. Her specialty: infiltrating the lives of dangerous targets, gaining their trust, and ultimately exposing their crimes.

Her latest assignment: unraveling the reclusive life of Bertram Casimir, a billionaire tech CEO whose career is as mysterious as his past. His sister claims he stole her app to build his fortune. Not only that, his girlfriend may or may not have recently gone missing.

Bertram sees through Margaux's carefully constructed facade, matching her move for move. As the lines between hunter and prey blur, Margaux finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Bertram. They share more than she'd like to admit--a dangerous intelligence, a taste for high-stakes manipulation. When the evidence begins to shift, threatening to destroy everything she knows, Margaux realizes this is far more than just another job.

Her hidden past--and her life--are now on the line. One lie remains, and it might just save her.

Two families. Two sworn enemies. One love story to unite them all.

Charlie Jonquil is mild-mannered and kind―except when it comes to his one true adversary, Artemis Lancaster. Though Charlie has a brilliant mind for mathematics, Artemis poses a problem he can't seem to comprehend: How can one be so lovely and so infuriating? A party in London brings him into the company of the maddening young lady, and it is clear that Charlie's disdain is mutual. But when an unfortunate incident between the pair involving Charlie's jacket and a glass of raspberry shrub leads to scandal, the sworn enemies are left with only two options: Be ruined or be married.

So it is that Artemis finds herself in a most outrageous predicament: she must wed a gentleman she's hated for years―and she pledges to avoid him at all costs. But it is only when they enter into this mockery of a marriage that Charlie and Artemis learn things are not as simple as they once appeared. As their tentative ceasefire leads to friendship, it seems their marriage born of desperation might lead them to a love that was destined to be.

Grain, Grind, and Gratitude by Julieta is a deeply personal and inspiring memoir that traces a remarkable journey from humble beginnings to a life shaped by resilience, purpose, and unwavering determination.

Growing up in a small farming village in the Philippines, Julieta's childhood was marked by hardship, discipline, and cultural traditions that tested her strength from an early age.

At its heart, this memoir is a testament to gratitude the power of embracing one's past, honoring sacrifices, and using life's struggles as fuel for growth and service to others.

Rich with cultural insight, personal reflection, and universal themes of identity, resilience, and legacy, Grain, Grind, and Gratitude is a compelling story that will resonate with anyone striving to overcome adversity and create a meaningful life.

Olivia Hart always dreamed of following in her father's footsteps to become the CEO of Hartstring Records-the massive record label that's been in her family for generations. Before he died, she vowed she'd do whatever it took to make that dream a reality, regardless of the personal cost.

Now, at thirty-seven, she's kept her promise. Only, instead of bringing her joy, she finds herself divorced and resenting her position at the top, forced to prioritize her career over her daughter, Charlie. The days are long and the nights are lonely. She finds herself longing for a fraction of the happiness her ex has found after their divorce. When Olivia gets an unexpected call from her brother that their uncle's health is failing, she seizes the opportunity to step away from the career that has become more of a chore and drops everything to head back to Tennessee and the charming little town she left behind.

It doesn't take long for Olivia to realize that not everything is the same as it was before she left. Especially not her brother's best friend.

Duke Bennett was carefree and vibrant the last time she saw him, but now his dark eyes are haunted by something that wasn't there before. He's brash, stubborn, and adamantly against her being back in his life for any reason. Unfortunately, his daughter and Olivia's have become inseparable, and there's no avoiding each other. What starts as after-school playdates and Saturday morning soccer games reluctantly becomes more. Before she knows it, her brother's broody best friend becomes the one thing that makes her feel free for the first time in years, giving her hope for something she thought she'd never have.

As Olivia's time in Pinecrest comes to a close, she is faced with a decision that could wreck her heart either way. Does she walk away from Pinecrest and return to the dream she thought she always wanted, or will she realize that sometimes it's the legacy you choose that matters the most?

Six strangers. One sealed bunker. A world that may no longer exist.

When Jase, Olivia, Ava, Damian, Ryder, and Nolan agreed to spend ninety days underground for a government-funded study, it seemed like a fair trade-college credits, a paycheck, and student loan forgiveness in exchange for three months of isolation inside a state-of-the-art facility called the Ouroboros.

Then, sixty-six days in, everything changes.

Communication with the surface is severed. Emergency lockdown protocols activate-and the doors stay sealed. The countdown to their release stops, and begins counting up.

The doors never open.

Trapped underground with no explanation and no contact from the outside world, the six participants are forced to confront a terrifying possibility: the world above may no longer exist.

As isolation stretches into months, the shelter begins to feel less like a study-and more like a prison. Tensions fracture. Loyalties shift. And the artificial intelligence overseeing the facility becomes their warden.

When they finally learn what caused the Genesis Collapse, the reality is worse than they imagined. Civilization has fallen. The world they knew is gone. And survival may require becoming something they never intended to be.

Now the six must decide who they are in a broken world-and whether they are willing to fight for what remains of it.

The Fallout Kids is a character-driven dystopian science fiction novel about survival, control, and the cost of resilience. Perfect for readers who enjoy high-stakes confinement thrillers, post-apocalyptic worlds, and morally complex survival stories.

The world ended.

Their story is just beginning.

Different parenting styles. When your child comes out as gay. Launching a young adult with autism.

Carrie and her husband Joe have been married for twenty-seven years. In her most revealing memoir yet, Carrie is candid about the challenges they have faced in these areas and more.

Through moments of heartbreak, humor, and hard-won grace, Carrie explores how raising a diagnosed child both strains and strengthens a partnership, how siblings find their place in a family that doesn't look like others, and how small victories become monumental triumphs.

The narrative moves beyond medical labels and daily challenges to reveal a deeper story about identity, acceptance, and the evolving meaning of "normal."

At its core, this is a story about staying-staying in a marriage when it's easier to pull away, staying present through uncertainty, and staying open to a kind of joy that looks nothing like what was once imagined. Honest and deeply human, it offers a powerful reflection on what it means to build a life, and a family, under extraordinary circumstances.

Kasira used to be a masterful con artist: choosing her target, building trust, judging the precise moment to make her move. Now, she's keeping her head down and working off a lengthy prison sentence. But Kasira's past catches up to her when she's offered a deal: her freedom in exchange for one last con--infiltrate the fabled Library of Amorlin.

When Kasira goes undercover as the new Assistant Librarian, she enters an enchanting world brimming with books and magical creatures, tempting her with a life she can never have. But Kasira's real future depends on her charge: the long con to bring down the Librarian. Unfortunately, Allaster is as prickly as he is handsome . . . and hiding a beastly transformation that could destroy him.

Kasira has to decide: take down Allaster and destroy the only place that has ever felt like home--or be herself for once in her life, and risk losing it all anyway.

Batman won his explosive battle with Bane, but his friends will never be the same--and he might not be able to help them, even if he crosses worlds and enlists the help of a god to do it.

Meanwhile, another of Ark M's residents will be unleashed on Gotham. And the biggest question of all still remains...what is the true identity of the man behind everything? Legendary artist Jock reunites with writer Scott Snyder to tell one version of the story Alfred's been chasing for years, and a one-shot explores the origins of Ark M!

When the ghosts of war won't stay buried, a former Army nurse must find a way to heal-or risk losing everything.

In 1951 New Orleans, Laura Marino works as a nurse at Charity Hospital. She's been home from World War II for six years, but peacetime has brought its own challenges. She's frustrated at work, and her childless marriage to Nicholas, a surgeon she met in the Army, is strained.

Laura is devastated when news arrives that Frances, her best friend from the front, has taken her own life. Turning to the wartime journal she has kept hidden away, Laura is plunged back into memories of the bonds forged amid chaos on the front lines of North Africa, during the siege of Anzio, and at a refugee camp in Italy.

While her husband takes on an overseas assignment, Laura wrestles with her grief and guilt over Frances' death. Then she meets Boyer, a wounded veteran who shares her pain. Their connection is intense-and dangerous, threatening to upend her life entirely.

Triage is an intimate portrait of a woman's hard-won journey through love, loss, and a quest for redemption.

Pancho Villa retrata inmejorablemente a un complejo personaje que siempre logró escaparse del sistema, hasta después de muerto.

Aquí se cuenta la vida de un hombre que solía despertarse, casi siempre, en un lugar diferente del que originalmente había elegido para dormir. Tenía este extraño hábito porque más de la mitad de su vida adulta, 17 años de los 30 que vivió antes de sumarse a una revolución, había sido prófugo de la justicia, bandolero, ladrón, asaltante de caminos, cuatrero. Y tenía miedo de que la debilidad de las horas sueño fuera su perdición.

Esta es la biografía de Pancho Villa, uno de los más grandes revolucionarios mexicanos, escrita por Paco Ignacio Taibo II, implacable novelista e historiador, quien se dio a la titánica tarea de narrarnos la vida del Centauro del Norte.

La Travesía de Villa, temeraria y desmedida, saturada de hechos heroicos y trágicos, siempre ha sido un símbolo atemporal de la Revolución mexicana.
