"Going into Society" reflects Dickens' deep understanding of human nature and his commitment to revealing the challenges faced by the underprivileged, urging readers to confront societal norms and advocate for change. This remarkable work is essential reading for those who appreciate intricate narratives that delve into social dynamics and human resilience.

Medium Rare - A Novel

A. Natasha Joukovsky

From the author of The Portrait of a Mirror, a modern tragicomedy transforms the myth of Icarus into a blazing romp through bureaucracy, B-list fame, and college basketball . . .Phil is ordinary. A mid-level Washington lobbyist for a decidedly unsexy organization, unhappy in the way all mildly successful, minimally influential men are. That is until the spring of 2019, when Phil's picks for the NCAA March Madness Tournament start panning out, and heads begin to turn his way. He really may do it: predict a perfect bracket, for a billion-dollar prize.At first, Cassandra is just along for Phil's soaring rise—she had foreseen it happening, after all. Despite moving in different circles since their shared university days and Cassandra never much liking him, she recognizes in Phil the making of a legend worthy of the highest art. What Cassandra fails to predict, though, is just how much she'd grow to care about Phil's wife, Raleigh—and that the grandest narrative arcs sometimes unfold at the steepest of personal costs.Dazzling in its absurd comedy, Medium Rare is not only a gambol through the upper echelon, but also a shrewd examination of madness, desire, and credibility—why don't we listen when prophetic women speak? A. Natasha Joukovsky delivers a story as layered and incisive as it is high-flying fun.

The Setup Man - A Forbidden...

Kate Watson

She's fake dating the wrong guy. Enter Mr. Right.

Scottie

I've spent my whole life cleaning up after Jake Rodgers—the bad boy of Major League Baseball. So when his latest PR disaster threatens to send him to the minors, agreeing to fake date him feels noble. Temporary. Manageable.

Then hot young pitcher Lucas Fischer shows up—with coffee I didn’t ask for and a smile that doesn’t quit—and suddenly none of it feels manageable anymore. Especially when I’m assigned to be his handler.

Now I'm pretending to be in love with the guy I've never wanted while trying not to fall for the one I can't have.

Lucas

I've been bringing Scottie Quinn coffee for ten months. I've never once guessed her order wrong–no small feat, considering the woman orders coffee based on vibes.

I've also never once told her that I know she's fake-dating Jake Rodgers, that she deserves better, or that I'm in love with her. I'm a patient guy. I can wait. What I can't do is watch her disappear to make everyone else comfortable.

But Jake and I are on the same team now, and our GM has one ironclad rule: no clubhouse drama.

Easy enough. All I have to do is keep showing up until she stops pretending… without blowing up both our careers.

Yeah. Maybe I’m not that patient after all.

The Setup Man is a swoony, closed-door sports romcom with fake dating, workplace romance, banter, forbidden feelings, black cat/golden retriever vibes, and a deliciously slow burn—all with no explicit content. Books in the Catching Feelings series standalone and can be read in any order.

Divine Dicks and Mortal Pricks:...

Walburga Appleseed

This is a book about divine dicks, mortal pricks, and some epically long-suffering women. 
The Ancient Greek myths and epics have spent the last few thousand years focusing on all the testosterone and willy-waving that their so-called heroes got up to. Now, at long last, it’s time to shine a light on the goddesses, nymphs and queens who had to endure all that unwanted wooing, the wrath of vengeful gods, and a lot of straight-up misogyny without complaint – or at least none that was considered worth noting. 
Is it really heroic to start a war just because the girl you like fancies someone else? And seriously, when will men stop fobbing off women's ideas as their own? 
These are the Greek myths as you’ve never heard them before. 
Appleseed's Divine Dicks and Mortal Pricks is a novel that reimagines the ancient Greek myths, focusing on the goddesses, nymphs, and queens who have been sidelined in the traditional stories. This humorous pastiche is a delightful blend of mythology and fiction, offering a fresh take on these timeless tales. 
For fans of Margaret Atwood (The Blind Assassin), Ali Hazelwood (Deep End), Rebecca Yarros (The Things We Leave Unfinished), Jonathan Coe (Bournville), and Bea Fitzgerald (Girl, Goddess, Queen).
