"The point wasn't to win a war that had been lost, or to stop a death that had long turned bones to dust. It was to heal a broken heart." John Pierce has been in covert operations all his adult life. He doesn't know anything else but that and being a Dom, because that's how he blows off steam and balances the nagging emptiness inside of him. Since he was a kid, he's carried around an infatuation that's grown into an embarrassing obsession. He's in love with a myth-Medusa. "Mad Merlin" Maddock doesn't think that's crazy. He believes in powers deeper and stronger than men or gods, a connecting energy like the oceans. To those powers, healing a broken heart could create a ripple effect in the universe impacting all, even if that heart lives in the alternate dimension of folklore and myth. JP is the first one Maddock plans to send across those lines to bond with the woman he's always wanted. JP agrees to be his first guinea pig for two reasons. One, Maddock is so damn convincing, and two, the need for her has tripled since he met the guy. If Maddock can send JP into her world, JP will let nothing stop him from claiming her for his own and healing her heart, because he's sure as hell she's the missing piece of his. He just has to make sure she doesn't turn him into lawn ornamentation first.

New York Times best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith turns to realistic fiction with the thoughtful story of a Native teen navigating the complicated, confusing waters of high school — and first love. When Louise Wolfe’s first real boyfriend mocks and disrespects Native people in front of her, she breaks things off and dumps him over e-mail. It’s her senior year, anyway, and she’d rather spend her time with her family and friends and working on the school newspaper. The editors pair her up with Joey Kairouz, the ambitious new photojournalist, and in no time the paper’s staff find themselves with a major story to cover: the school musical director’s inclusive approach to casting The Wizard of Oz has been provoking backlash in their mostly white, middle-class Kansas town. From the newly formed Parents Against Revisionist Theater to anonymous threats, long-held prejudices are being laid bare and hostilities are spreading against teachers, parents, and students — especially the cast members at the center of the controversy, including Lou’s little brother, who’s playing the Tin Man. As tensions mount at school, so does a romance between Lou and Joey — but as she’s learned, “dating while Native” can be difficult. In trying to protect her own heart, will Lou break Joey’s?

Joey: A Desperate Search for My One True Love By: Walter Joseph Martinez Joey is a quietly contemplative memoir about one man’s journey to find true love in his life. Growing up in a broken home, with an absent father and a distant mother, Joey feels isolated and unwanted from a young age, and begins to seek acceptance and affection from other sources. Over the many years of his life, Joey has found many loves; most didn’t last, some broke his heart, but all made an impact on him that would last forever. Throughout life’s romantic trials and tribulations, Joey realizes there is one person who has always loved him and always been there for him, though Joey doesn’t always realize: God. Joey is as much an autobiography as it is a testimony to one’s faith and the power of God’s unconditional love.
