Summary

Stella leaves behind the quiet familiarity of her old
life in Monte Rosa for a fresh start in Stockholm.
Moving into the apartment next door to her father's,
she dreams of starting over – of freedom, distance
from the past, and the vibrant pulse of city life.
Peter, newly divorced, is finally chasing the dream
he once set aside: opening his own neighborhood
bistro. He's looking forward to a simpler, freer life –
and maybe even love. But with Stella unexpectedly
by his side, he finds himself torn between single life
and fatherhood in a new city.

One morning, they bump into each other in the
stairwell, each with a guest from the night before.
They realize how little they really know about one
another.

To reconnect, they make a pact: Sunday lunch,
every week for a year. At each meal, they'll share
one untold truth. But are they ready to reveal
the real reasons they left everything behind in
Monte Rosa?
Available since: 07/09/2025.

    "Code Noir is storytelling at its deepest and most intimate. These stories are magic and you must enter them as if you, too, are wondrous." —Dionne Brand, author of Nomenclature, Theory, and Map to the Door of No Return 
 
 
 
Canisia Lubrin's debut fiction is that rare work of art—a brilliant, startlingly original book that combines immense literary and political force. Its structure, deceptively simple, is based on the infamous Code Noir, a set of real historical decrees originally passed in 1685 by King Louis XIV of France defining the conditions of slavery in the French colonial empire. The original code had fifty-nine articles; Code Noir has fifty-nine linked fictions—vivid, unforgettable, multilayered fragments filled with globe-wise characters who desire to live beyond the ruins of the past. 
 
 
 
With a foreword by Christina Sharpe, Code Noir ranges in style from contemporary realism to dystopian literature, from futuristic fantasy to historical fiction. This inventive, shape-shifting braid of narratives exists far beyond the boundaries of an official decree.

    It's a terrible idea. 
Impersonating her twin for staff orientation at Camp Firefly Falls is sure to end badly, but Sarah Meadows can't say no. It's just a quick two-week break to help her sister out of a jam, then she'll be back to finishing her stalled master's thesis. Except when her sexy, ex-park ranger partner uncovers her secret, Sarah's summer takes an unexpected turn. 
Beckett Hayes knows he should report Sarah to the boss. But intrigued by her determination and pulled in by those big, doe eyes, he decides to train her instead. He can’t help but root for the underdog, especially when the underdog starts to wiggle her way into his heart. 
Sarah's leaving in a matter of days, so a workplace romance is the last thing they need, but that doesn't stop either of them from diving in. Except a situationship isn't part of Sarah's long-term plans. As the clock counts down to the swap, the lines between duty and desire blur. Can Beckett convince Sarah to follow her heart, or will they have to be satisfied with only a summer fling? 
Find out in this charming conclusion to the Summer Fling trilogy!

    What happens when fate intertwines shifters from land and sea? 
 
 
 
Dr. Everett Voda loves a challenge, which is why he's spent his entire medical career traveling the world, helping shifters in remote areas. There has rarely been a problem he can't solve, but Merritt Lucas might be the exception to that rule. Everett can't figure out what's wrong with Merritt, and his attraction to the younger wolf is starting to become a distraction, especially since they are about to spend a lot of time alone together. 
 
 
 
Merritt doesn't have much going for him. He doesn't have a pack. He doesn't have a secondary gender scent. And he's fallen hopelessly head over heels for an alpha he can't have. But that doesn't stop him from taking Everett up on his offer to see the world and experience some of the shifter cultures he has only read about. 
 
 
 
But Everett has hidden motives for the trip, and big changes are on the horizon for Merritt and Everett, changes that will either drive them apart or bond them for life. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.

    In her previous life, Xu Anran never realized her husband, Qin Xiaokun, was a wolf in sheep's clothing until it was too late. He had deceived her with a facade of affection, schemed to take over her family's fortune, and destroyed her loved ones. In the end, he even coldly ran her over to pursue his true love. 
But now, Xu Anran has been given a second chance. She wakes up on the day of her marriage to Qin Xiaokun, five years before her tragic death. This time, she won’t be anyone’s fool. She’s determined to protect what’s rightfully hers and make every betrayal pay. 
In front of the shocked Qin family, Xu Anran boldly approaches Jiang Rongyan, Qin Xiaokun's greatest rival, and asks with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, would you marry me?" 
Jiang Rongyan accepts, and thus begins a new chapter of revenge, with Qin Xiaokun left humiliated in her wake. Xu Anran had planned to avoid relationships this time around, but as their arranged marriage comes to an end, Jiang Rongyan has no intention of letting her walk away so easily. 
"You think you can leave after using me?" he says, his eyes gleaming. "You're dreaming."
