To win this election, I should be trying to kiss babies, not my best friend! My chances of reelection have gone from slam dunk to nose dive. What happened? A former hookup sold me out to the press, complete with screenshots. In my defense, between being mayor and parenting twins (double the puberty!), I have zero room for relationships that go beyond one night. My campaign manager says I need to change the narrative, aka get a boyfriend ASAP to make me seem more (ugh) likeable. The only person I trust with this ruse is my charming best friend Dusty. Despite living 3,000 miles apart, thanks to endless text chains and 2 a.m. phone calls, we’ve been the constant in each other’s lives, navigating through single dad fails (me) and breakups with cruel ex-girlfriends (all him). Each day we spend as fake boyfriends feels more real, which is odd because Dusty is straight. And yet our playful banter is shifting from friendly to flirty. And he doesn’t stop holding my hand when the crowds leave. And was he always this attractive? With reporters sniffing for the truth, exploring these feelings could mean the implosion of my political career and our friendship. The Mayor and the Mystery Man is book 2 in the Single Dads Club series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone. Join Leo and Dusty as they stumble toward their happily ever after!Show book

Continuing her search for a neotropical mythos, in this brilliant second collection poet fahima ife articulates various scenes of subduction. Spoken in quiet recognition and grounded in desire, Septet for the Luminous Ones imagines a lush soundscape textured in oblique spiritual fusion of the Taíno and Yoruba. Or, what it sounded like coming together for the first time, and what it sounds like ever after—breathless, diaspora calling. Similar to the incidents in Maroon Choreography, what resounds in these poems is an ecstatic love song of the Caribbean Americas, of the main lands and islands, shaped and reshaped as breathwork, ritual, communion, and fantasy. In essence, the collection speaks to raise the vibrational frequencies of all species on Earth through a sensual pulse of Black English.From Alchemical Sirensit flickers in balsamic appealmoist in the palms of our handsa psalm a lamp a sap in our lapsan aspplausible love song after love poemswere last put on holdas in b l a ck a r tthe new black art is this — find the lost soul and love itShow book
