Hay palabras que nacen del alma, y "te amo" es una de ellas. Es un sentimiento tan profundo que desborda al idioma, como si aquello que se lleva en el corazón no pudiera expresarse del todo en una frase tan corta.

A lo largo de estas páginas se explora lo que surge como una necesidad de decir aquello que no cabe en lo literal, una colección de instantes donde el amor se expresa con voz propia, reinventándose en versos que aman desde la piel, desde la memoria, desde el abismo y desde la esperanza, sumergiéndose en lo intangible y habitando aquello que sentimos con intensidad y pocas veces se logra nombrar.

Aquí encontrarás cien formas distintas en las que el amor se envuelve en metáforas, convirtiendo cada poema en una declaración y un eco de un mismo saber universal: el amor vive para ser visto.

One decision will change everything.

When a young mother dies in childbirth, nurse Etta Harris feels an instant, undeniable connection to the newborn baby girl left behind. She believes the child-Storm-is meant to be hers. But belief isn't enough. With her husband uncertain and obstacles at every turn, Etta must decide how far she's willing to go to claim the family she longs for.

Across the hospital, Darren Johnson faces an unthinkable future after losing his wife while welcoming their son, Isaiah, into the world. Overwhelmed by grief and responsibility, Darren must summon the strength to raise his son alone-even as his own heart struggles to mend.

Years later, Storm and Isaiah's lives begin to intertwine in ways neither family could have imagined. What begins in shared loss grows into something fragile and unexpected-a bond shaped by shared resilience and the quiet hope that healing is still possible.

But some secrets never heal.

As Storm grows into adulthood, she must confront her own painful truth: sometimes the love that saves you can shape you in ways you don't yet understand. And sometimes, the bravest choice of all is learning that love should never come at the cost of who you are.

What Love Leaves Behind is a story about resilience, second chances, and the courage it takes to break free and choose a life-and a love-that heals.

Perfect for readers who believe in the power of love that finds its way home.

One man gambles on the dogs and his own life in this rediscovered Jewish post-war classic of London's seedy underbelly, introduced by Iain Sinclair.

"A novel and author richly deserving of renewed attention."--Kirkus starred review ⭐

Never give up hope before the dogs have crossed the finishing-line.

Harryboy Boas is a lowlife gambler. When he's not at the track, he lives in a Hackney boarding house, reading Zola, eating salt beef, pressing trousers and repressing wartime memories. But when a new family moves into the apartment downstairs, his life starts to unravel and Harryboy soon finds himself sinking into a murky East End underworld where violence, guilt and gangsters are the inevitable result for those who cannot pay their dues.

A celebrated cult classic, The Lowlife brilliantly evokes post-war East London - dog tracks, sandwich shops, tenements, sex workers, newly arrived West Indians and Jews leaving for Finchley - all seen through the tragicomic eyes of Harryboy, our picaresque rogue hero suffering from 'existential burn-out in the shadow of the Holocaust' (Iain Sinclair) and driven to bet, brag and beg to survive.

A young professor grapples with homophobia in Muslim Senegal in this searching, heart-wrenching novel from the National Book Award-longlisted author of The Most Secret Memory of Men.

A viral video makes the rounds in Dakar, showing an incensed crowd that gathers to dig up a grave and drag the corpse from holy ground. When Ndéné, a French literature teacher, watches it, he's surprisingly affected. Who was this man, and what could he have done to deserve such a fate? The answer soon becomes clear: he was a "góor-jigéen," one of the so-called "men-women," the shameful label given to homosexuals, cross-dressers, or any man who lives outside the accepted norm.

Haunted by the video, Ndéné sets out to learn more. With the help of a friend who works in night life, he explores a hidden side of Dakar, away from the rigid Islam of his family and university. Although he feels a certain disgust for homosexuality, he's moved by the suffering and resilience of the people he meets. But the further he goes, the more he doubts his own identity, threatening to become an object of suspicion and scorn himself.

A powerful, nuanced portrait of queerness in a conservative society, Pure Men asks the fundamental question of how to find the courage to be true to yourself, whatever the cost.

COUNT THE SPARROWS

Shy and anxious Nadine Harnois has spent her whole life living in the shadow of her older, prettier sister, Noelle. But when Noelle mysteriously vanishes just months after her fairytale wedding, Nadine gathers her courage to go to her brother-in-law's home in Argentum to seek answers.

Caledon Cullraven, the family's youngest son, takes an immediate interest in her, becoming both her tormentor and her ally. But beneath his playful demeanor lurks something twisted and depraved, and as her reluctant attraction to him grows, so, too, does the potential for real danger.

The Cullraven family legacy goes back for generations, with secrets that run as deep and as dark as the town's abandoned silver mines. The people of Argentum are suspicious and fearful of their town's reclusive benefactors, and possibly with good reason: because the more time Nadine spends with this family, the more she suspects that they're hiding something truly terrible.

"You want to run, Nadine? Run to me."
