Maison d'édition: Publishdrive

Synopsis

There was a time when it felt like the best job in the world. The energy of game nights. The thrill of the deal. The behind-the-scenes access and the ego-stroking perks. You felt like a somebody. Hell, you were a somebody! Drinks after work, suite nights with clients, inside jokes in the sales pit. This was the life.

It was the ultimate dream job.Until it wasn't.The Sales Pit is a raw, unapologetic dive into the underbelly of professional sports sales - before mental health mattered, before burnout had a name, and long before cancel culture called bullshit on toxic behaviour.It was an era where bravado was currency, vulnerability was weakness, and the grind never stopped. Toughness wasn't just expected - it was required. Silence was survival and speaking up could cost you everything.This book rips the mask off toxic masculinity, burnout culture, and the silent suffering of men told to "tough it out" at any cost. It's about the high of the hustle and the crash that inevitably follows. The hidden toll of always being "on" and what's left when the act finally breaks you.Nobody warned us about the exhaustion. The pressures. The fractured relationships and the slow erosion of one's self. But what kept most of us going wasn't the titles or the commissions. It was each other. The late-night beers, the dark humour and most importantly, the found family in the sales pit.Because in the end, it was never about the deals. It was always about the people. Real strength wasn't faking it until you made it, it was standing together, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, speaking up, and knowing you were not alone anymore.Content Warning:This book discusses topics related to men's mental health, including depression, anxiety, dark thoughts and suicidal ideation. Some readers may find these themes distressing or triggering. If you are struggling, please consider seeking support from a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

Shared by the Alphas - A...

Scarlett Blackwood

It was supposed to be the best night of her life.

Selene Carter was ready for Prom but her supposed prince charming had abandoned her the second the bond with his true mate clicked into place. Now, she was nothing more than a forgotten shadow, surrounded by laughter and love she can't relate. She stood alone at the edge of the ballroom, humiliation sinking into her like ice-cold steel.

She didn’t belong here.

Until they walked in.

Kieran. Lucian. Jaxon.

The Triplet Alphas ruthless, untouchable, dangerous. They should’ve ignored her. She was nothing to them, a nobody. But the moment their eyes landed on her, everything changed.

A kiss under the mistletoe.

One touch. One kiss. And the world shattered.

She was supposed to be invisible. But now, they saw her. And they claimed her.

They took her innocence, stripped away the control she held over her own body, and reveled in the way she trembled beneath them. Their dominance was unrelenting. And they weren’t finished.

They wanted more.

They were obsessed with her sweetness, her purity her innocence.

But she doesn’t belong in their world. She’s not the kind of woman they should want. Yet, as the Blood Moon rises, and as dark secrets about her own hidden power unfold, Selene finds herself torn between the man-made world she’s always known and the dangerous, intoxicating world of the Triplet Alphas. A power that binds her to them in ways she never imagined.

And Selene? She’ll have to choose. The life she’s always known or the Alphas who’ll never let her go.

This stand-alone reverse harem romance is filled with raw passion, danger, and scorching MFMM scenes. HEA is

guaranteed but at what cost?
