Behind the Shadows
Some of us were born in darkness. Others were made.
They broke me, rebuilt me, and gave me a name.
Cleaner. Son. Monster.
They said she was gone-a ghost in my head.
But I see her-in flashes of red hair and memories that never fade.
Now she's real again. Flesh and fear. Fire and fate.
She runs.
I follow.
She looks back-and the past catches up.
Because after everything they took from us, I'm done letting her disappear.
You don't have to love me, little ghost.
Lock the door. Run.
But when the darkness calls, you'll remember who's waiting inside it.
Behind the Shadows is a standalone pitch-black dark stalker romance and psychological romantic thriller of obsession, betrayal, and deadly secrets. Perfect for readers who crave morally gray antiheroes, forbidden love, and a heroine fighting to reclaim her life. No cheating, no third-act breakup, and includes an HEA.

Jury is Back
Sammy Carrara, Jr. has been waiting for twelve agonizing hours to find out if the jury will find him not guilty so he can be set free, or guilty and die in the electric chair. He had moved from Tampa to Anna Maria Island to start a new life as a charter boat captain and get away from the bad influences that landed him in prison. But it is the late Seventies and reefer madness is sweeping across the country. Unable to resist the lure of big money and his thirst for adventure, he gets involved in pot smuggling off the West Coast of Florida. Things go south, and he finds himself charged with the first degree murder of a deputy sheriff. Sammy calls on his old friends, Ybor City private investigators Benjamin Blanc and his partner Chino, to assist his lawyer Mark Hammer to try to save his life. He insists he is being framed. The prosecutors claim they have a mountain of evidence, including the murder weapon, to convict him, and strap him into Old Sparky, Florida's infamous electric chair. Getting ready for trial, Blanc and Chino travel from New Orleans to Key West, searching for witnesses that will prove Sammy's alibi. Along the way they encounter a stunning Bourbon Street stripper, and a collection of shifty, offbeat characters. The journey turns hazardous and eventually deadly, leaving them having to defend themselves from mysterious enemies, bent on doing them harm. The hard-fought trail takes unexpected twists and turns. The tenacious prosecutors present a compelling case that Sammy had the motive, the means, and the opportunity to commit the crime. Fighting against insurmountable odds, Hammer, Blanc and Chino battle to the end trying to save Sammy's life. Now, Sammy's fate is in the hands of the jury, and no one can predict what the jury will decide. -

One Moment: Poems
"It's thrilling to encounter poetry this fresh, this undeniable." --Kaveh Akbar, New York Times bestselling author From "one of the most brilliant poets of his generation" (El Pais, Madrid) Spanish poet Luis Muñoz's debut North American collection, translated by Idra Novey and Garth Greenwell. Sweet, surreal, and haunting, these poems examine both the frictions and elusiveness that can occur between self and others. The slowing down of time, the gentle observation of sunlight like "golden cookies on the bedspread" as you lie next to a lover. The feeling of solitude rendering you as small and still as a garbanzo bean, yearning as much for water and light as to continue being left alone. Luis Muñoz is a beloved and critically acclaimed Spanish poet and One Moment marks his American debut. The poems within are presented in their original Spanish and in English, translated by acclaimed writers and translators Idra Novey and Garth Greenwell. Formally inventive, at turns playful and strange, One Moment moves a kaleidoscopic eye from friends to lovers, one place to another, one moment to the next, the finite to the infinite. These are poems that delight in all the senses, and in the movement of the world around us. -

The surprising, poignant Kennedy story you don't know, with the enigmatic Bobby Kennedy at its heart Bobby Kennedy was never meant to matter. The seventh of nine children, he's long been overlooked by his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., who governs his children with the same firm hand that earned him a fortune, an ambassadorship, and enough clout to plant the seeds of an American political dynasty. But when Bobby's eldest brother, the anointed heir, dies in a wartime mission, the burden to become the first Kennedy in Congress shifts to Jack, the next in line. Bobby--long ignored and underestimated--is forced to step up, especially as debilitating chronic pain threatens Jack's Senate seat and aspirations to higher office. With their sights eventually set on the White House, Bobby evolves into the ruthless operative behind the scenes--yet at what personal cost? Throughout the chaos of campaign after campaign, Bobby finds an unexpected ally in his brother's wife, Jacqueline Bouvier. While Jackie smiles and waves for the cameras, in private, she leans on Bobby for understanding. Their friendship serves as a refuge from the public spotlight and private intrigue of the Kennedy family, but Jack's ongoing infidelity tests the boundaries of their loyalty, forcing Bobby and Jackie to each decide just how much they're willing to sacrifice for the dynasty's image. Centering on one of the most significant political families of our time, Carson Markland's riveting, hopeful debut is about brothers, fathers and sons, winners and losers, loyalty and sacrifice, and the true cost of power.Sold out -

From Bram Stoker Award-winning author Lora Senf comes a fast-paced YA filled with cosmic horror and existential dread--four teens fight for survival on an impossible island against a creature who might spell the end of the world. Perfect for fans of Kate Alice Marshall and Claire Legrand. Reckless, depressed, impulsive and sixteen, Harrow Lane is going to an island that shouldn't exist to look for answers about the death of her father--the father who accidentally cursed her shortly after she was born. Things immediately go very wrong--beginning with the sinking of the boat that brought them to the island and an ominous chuckle from something that shouldn't be there--and keep getting worse in ways they couldn't possibly imagine. Harrow and friends came without being invited and whatever lives there doesn't like visitors. With no way to reach the outside world and no understanding of the rules of the island, Harrow and her friends are in mortal danger, and knowing who can and can't be trusted is a thing they left back on shore. Matters are only complicated by Harrow's emotions--she's given her biggest feelings human faces and personalities and does her best to keep them locked away in a seedy motel she built in her mind. But emotions are sneaky, and she's having to face them at the worst possible time. It's creating sort of an "Inside Out in hell" situation as they fight for survival against a creature that seems to be made entirely of terror and who very well might spell the end of the world.Sold out
