  One woman is torn between faith, family, and passion in this “heartfelt immigrant love story” from the author of Forbidden by Destiny and Forbidden by Time (Publishers Weekly). 
   
  Raised by her immigrant parents, Sara has been taught that a good daughter makes decisions based on her family’s approval, and she’s spent most of her life in their good graces. Until she meets Maziar. 
   
  An instant electricity ignites between them, and their meeting seems like fate. Just as her mind begins to soar with the possibilities, he shatters her hopes. Sara is Muslim. Maziar is Jewish. Will faith tear them apart? 
   
  Despite centuries of unrest behind them, Sara and Maziar embark on a forbidden love affair, attempting to navigate through cultural and religious prejudices. Deep within the trenches of their battle, Sara finds herself more empowered and careless than ever before, but will her love and newfound life be worth the ultimate cost—her family?

  When Oliver meets a really cute elf while out Live Action Role Playing, he thinks he's found the Sam to his Frodo. He tries to find out more about Oakenshire the Elf, but comes up with nothing. When summer vacation makes the LARPing group take a break, Oliver throws himself into his upcoming play, where he is one of the main leads. He soon meets a new person to captivate his attention: a young woman he runs into at the doctor's office and then at his best friend Lydia's party named Avery. She's smart, funny, and into all the same things that Oliver is into, including Harry Potter, War Gaming, and even LARPing.
  
  
  As their friendship progresses, Oliver begins to notice the similarities the young woman has to Oakenshire the Elf, including the same red hair and freckles. Is this Oliver's final chance to see the elf again? Or is this another case of mistaken identity that will leave Oliver fumbling for pronouns, excuses, and hurt feelings?

  A dying man recounts the story of the most amazing person he has ever met, a brilliant, Soviet linguist whom he calls Youriko. It is a tale of love, daring-do, spies and danger set in Japan, Germany, Turkey, the USA, Canada and the UK, but mostly in the Soviet Union of the Seventies. 
  Two girls, born thousands of miles apart in Kazakhstan and Japan just after World War II, meet and are like peas in a pod. They also get on like sisters and keep n touch for the rest of their lives. 
  However, one wants to help her battle-scarred country and the other wants to leave hers for the West. They dream up a daring, dangerous plan to achieve both goals, which Andropov, the chief of the Soviet KGB, is told about. He dubs it Operation Youriko and it is set in motion, but does it have even the remotest chance of success? 
  Andropov’s Cuckoo is based on a ‘true story’ related to the author by one of the protagonists.

  Why am I pink? 
   
   
   
  I've always wondered. I've always asked. I've checked every file in the ODP archives, too, but nobody could ever give me an answer. 
   
   
   
  Until I meet three high fae who seem to know everything about me. They mock me, humiliate me, and I can do nothing but take it. 
   
   
   
  And that's not even my only concern. Derek Dane is gone, and Dominic needs my help to find him. Having to play bait isn't something I look forward to. Sleeping under the same roof with him is going to test both of us, and we were never good with keeping our hands off each other. But it's my fault the brothers are in this situation. I have to make it right. 
   
   
   
  Nothing goes as it's supposed to, and before I know it, I find myself back home with my family, more alone than ever before. More secrets come to light and I'm told my fate is sealed. I'm supposed to live my life a certain way, become who I was meant to be. 
   
   
   
  But whoever designed that fate for me didn't know me at all. I might be tiny and pink, but I'll be damned if I let anyone tell me how to live my life. I will fight back with everything I have. And I will do absolutely anything to protect the people that I love. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
