Collection: Adult

Marked by gods. Hunted by fate. Bound to a warrior she shouldn't want.

In a realm teetering on the edge of war, Islyn never asked to be chosen-by the gods, by destiny, or by the dangerously compelling warrior sworn to protect her. But power like hers doesn't stay hidden for long. As ancient forces stir and enemies close in, she must navigate a world of secrets, shifting alliances, and a connection that burns hotter than it should.

Caught between duty and desire, Islyn has to decide who she can trust-and what she's willing to become to survive.

By Blood, Shadow & Fire is a sweeping fantasy romance about fate, forbidden longing, and the kind of magic that demands everything.

From New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author Clarissa Wild comes a new STANDALONE, full-length MAFIA ROMANCE novel.

To save my mother after she falls dangerously ill, I'm forced into a marriage with Lucio Agostini, a corrupt and malicious Mafia lord set on making me his bride. Lucio's only interest is to acquire my estranged father's wealth, and I have no choice if I want my mother to live.

But Lucio's plans to marry me are thwarted when a rival Mafia family crashes our wedding right before we exchange vows.

My hand in marriage is stolen, and the ring is put around my finger by none other than Matteo De Silva, sworn enemy of Lucio Agostini. He's callous, headstrong, and dangerous.

In a stubborn quest to avenge his mother, he snatches me at my wedding to use me as a pawn in a devious game. He whisks me away to his mansion, which is nothing more than a luxurious prison for his newlywed wife.

His obsession with destroying Lucio is all that matters to him, even if it costs me my freedom. But I refuse to become collateral. Underneath all that rugged bravado is a wounded man who longs for affection, and I will use his attraction to me against him.

However, my past is laced in despair, and my secrets consume me from the inside out. When everything feels lost, Matteo's arms offer solace, and his touch calms my mind and sets my senses ablaze. His wicked charms slowly creep their way into my heart until it's no longer possible for me to deny the growing passion between us.

We both want what the other isn't willing to give.

A sinful, dirty fight for control is all that's left.

The only question is ... how far are we willing to go?

FOG OF WAR

Freed at last from the Dragon-Quelling Tower, Hongjun and Li Jinglong race to intercept An Lushan's advancing rebel army. With every city his horde of humans and yao devours, An Lushan's demonic power swells. If he is allowed to march unchecked to Chang'an, the exorcists fear he will truly become the heavenly demon Mara and raze the mortal world.

Now more than ever, the exorcists are relying on Li Jinglong--both his foolproof plans and the divine power of his heart lamp, their sole weapon against An Lushan until they can secure the six artifacts of Acalanatha. But after suffering Acalanatha's rejection in the Dragon-Quelling Tower, Li Jinglong's confidence is badly shaken. Can Hongjun stand to watch Li Jinglong hurl himself recklessly into danger yet again? And if Li Jinglong is not the true heir to Acalanatha's artifacts, who is?

National Book Award winner and Pulitzer Prize finalist Nathaniel Philbrick, author of In the Heart of the Sea and Mayflower, reveals how California's Gold Rush forged the modern United States--and lit the long fuse to civil war

In January 1848, a carpenter spotted flecks of gold in a shallow stream at Sutter's Mill in California--triggering the greatest voluntary migration in U.S. history and jolting a fragile republic already sliding toward crisis. In The Rush, Nathaniel Philbrick transforms the Gold Rush from a tale of sudden riches into the origin story of America's modern contradictions: capital consolidated at dizzying speed, democracy in thrall to private power, xenophobia weaponized in the name of liberty--and a stubborn belief in the American experiment that refuses to die. This is the story of a nation tearing at the seams--a republic tested by its own ideals.

From the feverish gold-mining camps of the Sierra Nevada mountains to the wharves and vigilance committees of San Francisco, Philbrick renders a combustible, all-world society: Chilean brothers reinventing themselves to outrun prejudice; Native communities navigating dispossession and violence; the merchant-showman Samuel Brannan, drawn into the center of early vigilantism; and the politicians vying for control of California's future--the ambitious free-soil political boss David Broderick, who squared off against William Gwin, the Southern power broker intent on tilting the state toward slavery and the Confederacy. Not until a year after the outbreak of the Civil War, when President Lincoln signed legislation that would unite the nation east to west by building a transcontinental railroad, was California's loyalty secured.

Philbrick follows the gold as it moves from riverbed to countinghouse to the halls of power, revealing how vigilantism hardened into law and how debates over slavery in the West tipped the balance in Washington. The result is a clear, human story of how a scramble for wealth reshaped ideas of freedom, labor, and belonging--and how California's rise helped push a fractured nation toward war. The Rush is alive with characters whose choices still reverberate: a searing, panoramic epic that captures both the fury and the promise of America.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists returns with an intimate yet epic love story--and a sweeping odyssey of scientific discovery. Under Story invites us to consider the promise of this life, what might lie beyond it, and how far we would go for more time with the people we love, cementing Chloe Benjamin's place among our best, and most lasting, storytellers.

"We wake up to tomorrow, never yesterday."

At the edge of the world, biologist Laurel Salter is hiding from everything she's ever known. For ten hours a day, six days per week, she works as a dishwasher at McMurdo Station, an isolated research base in Antarctica. She tells no one that before she arrived, she was a renowned young scientist with a promising career and a family.

But even in this remote outpost, Laurel can't escape her past. When a strange light appears across the ice--and draws a group of physicists to McMurdo--her former husband, Eli, won't be far behind. Laurel is captivated by the Arc: its surreal glow; the way it seems almost alive. And though Eli is reluctant to test her wildest theory, Laurel is convinced that the Arc leads down a rabbit hole and into a world they can barely imagine. Can she persuade him to risk everything to fix the burden that hangs between them--to turn back the clock and live their story a second time?

A breathless page-turner and a love letter to our planet, Under Story grapples with the great questions of our time: human hubris, the precarity of the natural world, and the mysterious webs of consciousness that bind us. A modern epic of science and soul, of bravery and redemption, it offers a vision of the future that demands we reckon with what we owe to one another, and to the earth itself.

The BRAND NEW action-packed, epic historical adventure from Michael Jecks

Once they'd had enough of war... Now they've had enough of peace

1359, Northern France. With the ink still drying on the Treaty of Bretigny, an agreement most believed to be nothing more than a stalemate between King Edward III of England and John II of France, the country is left riddled with both English and France armies - exhausted, adrift and directionless.

An atmosphere ripe for rebellion.

Berenger Fripper returns to the only life he truly understands, among the troops of Hawkwood's company. But danger and treachery lurk around every abandoned French farm or village. When the company comes across the promise of riches hidden in a monastery, the motley crew finally feel as though their luck is changing...

But as quickly as they find the treasure, quicker still it's stolen from under their noses, and as they seek revenge on the unknown thief, they find themselves swept up in the might - and the politics - of the Great Company... Will any of them get out alive?

The Unhealed Healer is a deeply honest journey into the spaces where strength and brokenness meet. Through vivid memories and tender reflections, the author invites readers to walk beside her as she uncovers the little girl she once was and the woman she became while trying to heal everyone except herself.

For anyone who has carried pain in silence, who has felt strong for too long, or who longs to return home to their true self, this book offers a gentle hand and a clear mirror. The Unhealed Healer is a testament that even the ones who guide others must also find their own way back to wholeness.

Three simple words changed everything between us: I dare you.

David Evans is a thorn in my side. A smart-mouthed, egotistical, philosophizing know-it-all who wants nothing more than to beat me at our silly little game.

I come from a family of five, so shying away from the competition isn't in my DNA. I will win anything he throws my way.

The game was harmless at first. Dare you to skip class, dare you to take a shot, dare you to tell a stranger last night's dream. Child's play. I should have known that wouldn't be enough for him. David seems determined to bring out the worst in me.

Once again, he uses five words that force me to question everything: Be mine for the night.

It's a challenge that someone with any common sense would refuse. Especially since I'm familiar with all his tricks. But I lost my common sense a long time ago.

So I accept, because playing his girlfriend can't be that hard.

They Wouldn't Dare is a fake dating college sports romance featuring an optimist student org president and a cynical tight end who have been frenemies since middle school. This book is intended for 18+ readers.
