  We were supposed to hook up and never see each other again. Oops. 
  Ellis Donlan 
  Me? A sports agent? Clearly, hell has frozen over. 
  But it must be happening because Dad insists I start working for the family business, and I've run out of excuses not to. 
  Already dreading my first day tomorrow, I know the best thing to take the edge off is finding myself a hot guy for the night. 
  That plan leads me to Damon, the hottest, sweetest man ever. 
  We agree to one night of fun, then we never see each other again. 
  But the universe must have other ideas because the very next morning, I find out he’s my new coworker. And thanks to a little too much pillow talk, I accidentally use his insider information against him. 
  Now he hates me, and the sweet guy I met is nowhere to be found. 
  Damon Marks 
  I don’t do one-night stands. Not my thing. 
  Until Ellis enters my life. He’s beautiful, bold, and I'm instantly enamored. 
  He refuses to give me his number and tells me straight up that he only wants one night. Even if I don’t usually do this, I can't walk away. 
  It’s too bad he doesn’t want to see me again after this, because he’s perfect. 
  Unfortunately for him, the following day we’re both surprised to discover we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other—because he’s the CEO’s son. 
  And unfortunately for me, I never even saw it coming. 
  Now, two years later, just when I’ve gotten used to disliking the man I’m still very much attracted to, misfortune finds us once again when a snow storm traps us together in a hotel room—and we’ve only got one bed. 
  Deal Breaker is an M/M holiday romance novella, featuring a one-night stand between two people who thought they’d never see each other again.

  • 0

  A beautifully written short story collection that charts the lives of racialized women as they navigate their relationships, aspirations, and the burdens of memory and expectations
  		 
  “Sharply observed and gracefully told, this is a collection shining with all the unexpected delights and defeats that make up a life.” — Anuja Varghese, author of Chrysalis
  		 
  The wife who uses the name of her white husband in public. The mother who cleans the small-town hospital while her daughter moves to the city to forget their shared past. The well-behaved teen girl who anxiously watches her older sister slip further and further away from their hovering parents. Each of these characters is both familiar and singular, reminding us of women we have been, of our mothers and daughters, neighbors and adversaries.
  		 
  Kirti Bhadresa is a keen observer of humanity, especially of the BIPOC women whose domestic and professional work is the backbone of late-stage capitalism but whose lives receive so little attention in mainstream culture. An Astonishment of Stars is a collection that sees those who are unseen and cuts to the heart of contemporary womanhood, community collisions, and relationships both chosen and forced upon us.
