Collection: Adult

From USA Today bestselling author Jenni L. Walsh comes a witty Jazz Age mystery where rivalry, ambition, and deceit glitter under every chandelier...and no one gets out until the killer is unmasked.

In Chicago's Gold Coast district, twenty of the city's most glamorous socialites gather for a charity whist drive at the Bellevue House mansion. Brightest among them are Ginevra King Mitchell and Edith Cummings, real-life debutantes who inspired Daisy Buchanan and Jordan Baker in The Great Gatsby.

But when their sharp-tongued hostess turns up dead and a blizzard traps everyone inside, suspicion and gossip give way to fear. After all, one guest has a habit of burying husbands, another a proclivity for poison. Their charming veneers belie jealousies, ambitions, and deceits aplenty, enough to drive any one of them to kill.

As whispers turn to accusations, the police start closing in. Ginevra and Edith compete to solve the murder, uncovering secrets far more dangerous than the gossip columns ever revealed. But when a second body is found--strangled with Ginevra's own pearls--their restless rivalry becomes a race for survival. Who's next? And is the answer hidden in Fitzgerald's exasperating novel?

Megahex Perfect Edition is the first book in a new series presenting all of Simon Hanselmann's acclaimed Megg, Mogg & Owl stories as they've never been presented before: fully remixed by the author to present the entire MMO universe timeline in chronological order, from the characters' earliest adventures and beyond. Complete with new covers and other artwork, as well as all-new "color commentary" in the form of end notes to the entire series.

From its earliest days as a more straightforward roommate stoner-comedy to its darker turns as the characters evolve (devolve?) and struggle with their depression, drug use, sexuality, poverty, lack of work, lack of ambition, and their complicated feelings about each other, Hanselmann's characters have captivated readers internationally: Megg, the depressed, self-medicating witch; Mogg, her codependent and enabling lover (and talking cat); Owl, a repressed, anthropomorphized glutton for punishment; and Werewolf Jones, pure, unbridled Id. The characters are imbued with far more pathos and depth than seems plausible given the initial sitcom trappings, and these Perfect Editions will surprise, delight, and horrify readers anew!

**The deluxe edition comes with designed edges, inside cover designs, and a colored piece of artwork of the couple!**

From New York Times bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a sizzling, forbidden age-gap MM romance about an FBI agent and the Camorra enforcer who thaws his frozen heart.

Tom

I know a secret that can destroy the most powerful crime organization in America.

For years, I've watched Enzo Ferrante get away with murder. Literally.

He's slipped between the FBI's fingers time after time, spreading terror and mayhem on the streets of New York, masked beneath a gorgeous face and elegant pedigree.

A sloppy error on his part results in an incident that unexpectedly binds us together.

Suddenly, I'm no longer the special agent who is thirsty for his blood.

I'm his savior. His god. The light in his pitch-black existence.

Now that I caught the social butterfly in my spider web, I'm never letting go.

He is about to taste the venomous kiss of betrayal as I put him and his entire family behind bars for the rest of their lives.

Because when the night falls, the Camorra's enforcer crawls between my sheets and whispers all his sordid secrets in my ear.

Enzo Ferrante is completely and utterly mine, and nobody knows.

Not even his lovely fiancée.

Coming home to small-town Texas means facing the past and embracing the future in this touching novel about the family we choose by New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown.

She and her childhood friends, Walker and Gracie, called it the Tomorrow Tree and shared their dreams beneath its branches. But Tina, still reeling from past betrayals, has no plans to stay.

Mae and Cleo aren't about to let her leave. The elderly ladies who practically raised Tina offer her a room in their boardinghouse--where she discovers Walker and Gracie are also staying. Suddenly, this small town feels more like home than ever. Especially when Tina takes a job at Walker's feedstore, and their friendship rekindles into something deeper than either dared to hope.

Through Mae and Cleo's fierce maternal love and a second chance with Walker, Tina must confront the wounds that drove her away. Can she finally trust in the family she's always had--and the love that's been waiting beneath the Tomorrow Tree?

When a Hollywood starlet is unexpectedly reunited with the costar who broke her heart, their chemistry has her questioning what's reel and what's real in this heartfelt summer romance about first loves and second chances.

It's been ten years since the fateful summer Scarlett Everhart filmed The Lost Letter, the tearjerking romantic drama that catapulted her to worldwide fame and set her on a collision course with Ryder Perry, the movie's intense, irresistible leading man. The pair's fiery onscreen chemistry captured audience's hearts--while their whirlwind affair offscreen shattered Scarlett's into a million pieces. Determined to move on, she made a vow: to focus on her career, leave Ryder in her past, and never, ever look back.

A decade later, Scarlett's kept that promise. She's become one of Hollywood's most bankable leading ladies and is on the cusp of the biggest role of her career. And if she's been unlucky in love, at least she's managed to put her ill-fated relationship with her former costar--and the public's obsession with the pair's star-crossed romance--behind her. That is, until a sudden twist of fate thrusts her and Ryder back together in the seaside South Carolina town where they first fell in love, then fell dramatically apart.

As old sparks reignite, Scarlett is swept back into the love story that once defined her life, forcing her to reckon with the choice that tore them apart...and the devastating secret she's been keeping since their breakup all those years ago.

Sandwich meets The Wedding People in this irresistible comedy of manners as three generations of a family--a snail scientist, a soon-to-be divorcée, her teenage daughter, a hapless con man, and their feckless patriarch--descend on a ritzy Lake Michigan vacation island.

"Engaging and charming, perfect for your own summer vacation."
--Elin Hilderbrand, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hotel Nantucket

When the Pickford siblings arrive at The Grand Hotel--a nostalgic tourist paradise of horse-drawn carriages, muddled cocktails, and white sweaters on the tennis court--they have every intention of spending the long weekend making nice. Pete, the nation's foremost expert on gastropods (mollusks), is keen to wade around the lake in search of a rare and exciting Carthusian snail. Viv, reeling from the secret revelation that her husband is gay, is determined to put on a brave face for her daughter. And Corey, a charming, handsome grifter, has lucked into five pounds of cocaine he plans to sell to the first dumb rich guy he can find.

But when Pete falls for the alluring mother of a local kid, when Viv's daughter gets up to teenage trouble, and when Corey finds the wealthy guests less interested in party drugs than golf clubs and waffle cones, the long weekend of family bonding veers into disaster. Why did their father bring them to this cushy island resort in the first place? And why does Corey, the biggest screw-up of them all, seem to be the only one who knows the truth? As secrets spill, old flames are fanned, and an innocent snail is crushed beneath the unrelenting heel of a hiking boot. In a story that is as sneakily wise as it is absurdly funny, Ryan Effgen's debut shows how sometimes the people who bring out your worst--your family--can also be the ones to bring you out of your shell.

An epic debut novel that follows one family across four centuries, from France to Acadia to the bayous of Southern Louisiana--a poignant examination of belonging, place, and how individual acts of moral compromise contribute to cycles of injustice and destruction.

"A deeply talented and wonderful writer."--Jesmyn Ward, National Book Award-winning author of Salvage the Bones and Let Us Descend

"Should the Waters Take Us is filled with unforgettable characters, breathtaking scenes, fascinating time jumps, and a setting so precisely rendered that it's palpable." --Patrick Ryan, author of Buckeye

In the shifting bayous of coastal Louisiana, on a rapidly disappearing spit of land, generations of Acadians have kept their heads above water any way they can. When an offshore rig explodes and unleashes a catastrophic spill, the people of Pelerin Parish face a reckoning that tests the bonds of family and the survival of their way of life.

As the toxic plume of oil advances across the Gulf, Boy Broussard, already living hand to mouth off another man's land, finds himself raising a daughter he barely knows. His dying aunt, Rosa Terrebonne, tries to right the misdeeds of the past yet finds herself thwarted by her husband, Jacot, a retired landman for big oil who refuses to give up claim to the plot of ground where Boy makes his living. Meanwhile, the parish priest, Father Fabian, far from his home in the Niger Delta, lends his assistance to Boy's all-but-motherless daughter, only to be met with suspicion and hostility from the insular community. When a powerful hurricane threatens to turn an already dire situation into a total cataclysm, this sharp-edged cast of characters collides in a thunderclap of resentment and violence. Throughout all this, Soileau unfolds a sweeping tapestry of loss, resilience, and the fragile miracle of hope.

Should the Waters Take Us reaches across four hundred years of history to illuminate the many epochs and peoples of this storied place. Soileau has crafted an emotionally explosive family saga, as well as a masterful literary crie de coeur about the ways in which moral compromise can eat away at the very fabric of the places we call home.

Love or hate, they can't stay away from each other...

A kingdom in danger. A marriage born of duty. A love neither expected.

Eadlyn's homeland teeters on the brink of ruin. After years under her father's violent, indulgent rule, Essix is fractured and vulnerable-an easy target for enemy kingdoms. With her younger brother newly crowned and the throne unsteady, Eadlyn offers the only thing she has: herself.

A marriage alliance with the fierce Nords may be Essix's last hope for survival. But it means leaving behind everything she's ever known and placing her fate in the hands of a people known for their brutality. Still, Eadlyn is willing to risk it all and trust the God she's always believed in to protect her and her country.

Aevar has already had and lost his chance at love. Now, marrying the Essian princess is simply a duty, one that will secure peace and strengthen both their peoples. What he won't do is open his heart again. Determined to keep his distance, he focuses only on keeping her safe from those who oppose their fragile alliance.

But as the bond between them grows and dangers gather, old wounds begin to heal. Together, they must learn to trust not just each other, but the providence of a God greater than any kingdom.

Norse-inspired romantasy that is faith-filled and no-spice.
