No one believes he’s in danger, but when Asher’s relationship with Garrett is revealed in his small Florida town, he’s certain he will be destroyed.

When Asher’s mom announces they’re moving to Chicago, it seems like the perfect out, but how can he leave the only place that holds memories of his dead brother? Asher must choose between staying in a town where people know too much or escaping to a city where no one knows or cares, but either way, he can’t hide from himself.

Talia You’d think being raised in a brothel would prepare me for anything. You’d be wrong. I never expected to find my mother murdered in cold blood. I never predicted I’d hunt down the killer and take his life in exchange. And I sure didn’t imagine the son of my mother’s murderer would turn out to be my mate. But I guess this is my life now. Being a werewolf in hiding was no piece of cake, but being a werewolf on the run is even worse… Alex I don’t think I made a very good first impression. But to be fair, who meets their mate at their father’s murder scene? A murder where she, evidently, is the number one and only suspect. It’s disturbing. It’s gruesome. But it’s fate. And I’ll do anything to see the mysterious woman with distinctive blue eyes again… ***Wolfblood (Book 2 of the Wolfbane series) introduces some new characters and continues Jasmine’s story from the first book. As such, it is highly recommended you read Wolfbane before starting Wolfblood, for context and to avoid spoilers.*** Content warning: This is a paranormal romance novel with dark themes containing mature adult content, offensive language, and graphic violence, and may not be suitable for young readers.

Dating Nashville How does a straight guy accidentally come out as gay to the entire country music world? The truth is, he doesn’t. It happened so fast. One moment, Beckett Anderson stood on stage watching his best friend’s little brother standing in a sea of people as his heart broke in two. The next, he’d jumped off stage to give him the kiss of his life—or maybe the kiss of Becks’ life. So, that question about the straight guy… well, maybe it’s not so black and white. Maybe when Beckett begs Nicky to play his boyfriend for the media, a part of him wants it all to be real. Dating Washington How does the president’s son fall for the closeted son of a senator? The truth is, he didn’t want to. The only home Asher Brooks has ever known is the white house--yes, that white house. As the son of two presidents, the expectations weigh on him. The only person who never made him feel like he needed to be someone different, someone better, was his best friend--a friend who abandoned him the moment Asher revealed who he truly was. But this is Washington, and there’s no avoiding Kenny Montgomery. So, that question about falling for the wrong person… maybe it’s not so black and white. Maybe when Kenny kisses him, he’s allowed to kiss him back. Dating Texas How does the future NHL goaltender fall for his tech nerd roommate? The truth is, he decided not to fight it. Killian “Killer” James doesn’t fit into the elite world of Defiance Academy. There on a hockey scholarship, his Texas ranch hand ways are foreign to his wealthy classmates. And then there’s Diego, the kid who never looks up from the computer screen in their shared dorm room, the one whose genius is intimidating. Boys like them aren’t supposed to be friends, they aren’t supposed to share secret smiles or distract each other from the goals that have gotten them this far. So that question about the jock and the nerd… maybe distractions aren’t such a bad thing. Maybe it’s time for Killian to step out of his own lonely world and join Diego in his. Dating Him contains plenty of M/M swoon in a clean package. Perfect for fans of Simon vs. the Homosapien Agenda, Red White & Royal Blue, and What if it's Us.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this modern classic from the National Book Award–nominated author of The Chosen, a young religious artist is compulsively driven to render the world he sees and feels, even when it leads him to blasphemy. “A novel of finely articulated tragic power .... Little short of a work of genius.”—The New York Times Book Review Asher Lev is a Ladover Hasid who keeps kosher, prays three times a day and believes in the Ribbono Shel Olom, the Master of the Universe. He grows up in a cloistered Hasidic community in postwar Brooklyn, a world suffused by ritual and revolving around a charismatic Rebbe. He is torn between two identities, the one consecrated to God, the other devoted only to art and his imagination, and in time, his artistic gift threatens to estrange him from that world and the parents he adores. As it follows his struggle, My Name Is Asher Lev becomes a luminous, visionary portrait of the artist, by turns heartbreaking and exultant.

“Extraordinary . . . No one but Chaim Potok could have written this strangely sweet, compelling, and deeply felt novel.”—The Cleveland Plain Dealer In his powerful My Name is Asher Lev, Chaim Potok gave the world an unforgettable character and a timeless story that The New York Times Book Review hailed as “little short of a work of genius.” The Chicago Sun-Times declared it “a story that had to be told.” Now, Chaim Potok’s beloved character returns to learn, to teach, to dream, in The Gift of Asher Lev. Twenty years have passed. Asher Lev is a world-renowned artist living with his young family in France. Still, he is unsure of his artistic direction. Success has not brought ease to his heart. Then Asher’s beloved uncle dies suddenly, and Asher and his family rush back to Brooklyn—and into a world that Asher thought he had left behind forever. It is a journey of confrontation and discovery as Asher purges his past in search of new inspiration for his art and begins to understand the true meaning of sacrifice and the painful joy in sharing the most precious gift of all. Praise for The Gift of Asher Lev “A masterwork.”—Newsday “Rivals anything Chaim Potok has ever produced. It is a book written with passion about passion. You’re not likely to read anything better this year.”—The Detroit News “Fascinating.”—The Washington Post Book World “Very moving.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
