Lady in the Fast Lane

Aaron Apollo Camp

Sinossi

When Karen Yellowdragon, an oat farmer from a small island that is part of the Lahyrntian island area of Vazkelt, lost her job as a wartime factory worker after a war ended, she, as an unmarried woman, sought to compete in automobile races in Vazkelt and on the Lahyrntian mainland.
 
In her quest for racing glory, which took her from Vazkelt to the Lahyrntian mainland and back, Karen purchased a race car from one of Lahyrnt's greatest racing legends, Kaiser Easthouse, and she sought to compete against men in the male-dominated world of automobile racing in Lahyrnt. At every turn, the men of Lahyrntian automobile racing sought to derail Karen's attempt to compete and win on the racetrack, even if doing so meant ruining the reputation of motorsports in Lahyrnt at the worst possible time.
 
Lady in the Fast Lane, the first story of The Chronicles of Vazkelt, is a story of and about self-determination, self-empowerment, perseverance, and a willingness to win.

The Black and White of It - Stories

Ann Allen Shockley

A magnificent collection of stories that bravely and honestly explore issues of race, class, sex, love, and being lesbian in AmericaAnn Allen Shockley’s work has been widely praised for its honest portrayals of lesbian life, and now the author takes an even closer look at the singular world of women in love. But the stories that make up The Black and White of It address much more than simply the female gay experience: They cast a brilliant light on race issues and prejudice, on the emotional barriers that divide women and men, on the polarizing distinctions of class and culture, and on family as a force for both good and ill.These are powerful stories of love and desire, intolerance and denial. Here, a bright, vivacious young coed attempts to bring light and love back into the sad life of a lonely middle-aged English professor. An ambitious African American congresswoman refuses to admit the truth about her sexuality, thereby jeopardizing her very special—and secret—relationship with her devoted female assistant. Shockley plunges the reader into the eye of the storm when a gay black woman brings her white lover home to meet the family on Thanksgiving.Whether exploring the ugly, deep-seated prejudice living under the surface of an academic lesbian community, relating the antebellum tale of a southern female plantation owner mesmerized by her newly acquired slave girl, or recalling the sweet, sensual awkwardness of a first date, Ann Allen Shockley writes with unabashed truthfulness, poignancy, and insight. Her stories will long be remembered by gay and straight readers alike.

Dusty Road Home

Isabella

Melanie Crenshaw has fallen off the proverbial map. Notoriously private on a good day, the world-famous mystery author has gone dark to avoid any public blowback or scandal from her latest failed relationship. Seeking quiet and solace, she retreats to her rural hometown, hoping isolation will be just the atmosphere she needs to finish her novel. But going back home is never as easy as it sounds, especially when a nosy reporter starts sniffing around. 
Pulitzer-winning investigative journalist Pilar Stein has seen people at their worst—and has the scars to prove it. After taking time off to heal from a particularly brutal assignment, she’s back in the saddle and ready to reclaim her place among the elite of hard-hitting reporters. Unfortunately, her re-entry story—a profile on elusive author Melanie Crenshaw who has suddenly disappeared—seems to lack the teeth necessary to catapult her back to the top of her game. 
Appearances are deceiving, of course, and Pilar soon discovers that what she deems a simple fluff piece might well lead to the scoop of a generation…just not the one she expected. 
As Melanie fights to maintain her privacy while Pilar takes a backhoe to her past, the two women find themselves torn between their own professional convictions and their growing attraction to each other. And no matter which road they take, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

A Royal Christmas Cruise - A...

Max Walker

Nicholas Silva: This Christmas, I was determined to change things. I woke up one morning and broke up with my girlfriend—to the shock of everyone. That same day, I had tickets booked on a holiday cruise where I planned on cutting loose and finding the truth I had been denying myself all along. 
Little did I know, I'd end up finding much more in the jaw-droppingly handsome man I met before boarding the ship. Our chemistry was immediate, and it wasn't long before we shared a passionate kiss. 
Shiro Brooks: This Christmas was supposed to be for reuniting with old friends. I didn't expect to be dealing with a break-up and becoming the seventh wheel. I tried staying positive, but after an embarrassing situation at the security checkpoint, I resigned myself to my crummy holiday fate. 
Imagine my Santa-sized surprise when I bump into (and subsequently make-out with) the hottest man I'd ever met in my entire life. Drunk off our connection, I blurt out a crazy proposal. A proposal that he quickly shoots down. 
I for sure thought it would all end there. I had no idea it was only just the beginning of our story. 
Contains mature themes.

Stolen - An MM Mpreg Romance

Susi Hawke, Crista Crown

Team: A.L.P.H.A.: Six battle-hardened alphas with one goal—to save any omega in peril
Cain McKiernan had been told his brother Jonah was dead, and he’d never believed it. But what else could he do? An unprotected omega kid on the streets was as good as dead… or worse. But even as an adult, Cain hasn’t been able to escape.
Until Team A.L.P.H.A. captured him, thinking he worked for the cartel, and one of them tortured him. Until his mate found him. Until his brother saw him.
Ezra Dempsey isn’t sure he can forgive his twin brother for carving a tic-tac-toe board on his mate’s chest. His beautiful, scared, broken but strong mate. Ezra will do anything to protect his mate, even if it means choosing Cain over his brother.
But his brother isn’t the biggest danger they face. The cartel that took Cain from Jonah so many years ago is still out there, and they need to pay. Cain knows all the secrets, and if the team will just trust him, they may be able to take down one of the largest threats to shifters ever.
This is the fifth book in this exciting series, but can definitely be read as a stand-alone novel. You can expect to find naughty, knotty scenes of steamy passion, along with a lot of potty-mouth language and occasional violence. Be prepared for way too many kids running around and more than one unexpected pregnancy. HEA definitely included, intended for 18+ readers only. Seriously, would you expect anything less from Susi Hawke and Crista Crown?
Trigger warnings: graphic violence, mention of past trauma and human trafficking
