Summary

In this fairytale inspired by a classic children's story, weaver's daughter Adrien is tired of turning down marriage proposals. So she disguises herself as a boy and sets out on a journey of discovery, accompanied only by her faithful piglet Ferkel. Rescuing a young monk named Felix from brigands, Adrien agrees to act as bodyguard on his journey to the King's castle to present the princess with a telescope.
The lovely Princess Selene has also had more than her fair share of suitors, but she refuses to marry until someone gives her the moon. Felix's telescope could grant her heart's desire, but it's Adrien who finds herself in love with the lively, beautiful princess. 
Astonished to find Selene loves her in return, Adrien's joy is short-lived. Surely Selene's love will die when Adrien reveals her true gender? And in any case, two women cannot be married -- can they?

    Thieves come in all varieties, from the loner to a married couple to a team, from human to paranormal. They all have one thing in common: they want to succeed without being caught.
    The four gay romance stories in this box set feature thieves who work together ... or not. Contains the stories:
    An Honorable Thief: Ash is a professional thief who retrieves stolen items. He's also a loner until he meets Mark. They become more than friends and Ash agrees to take him along on a job. Mark betrays Ash, taking the item from him at gun-point. Ash vows to find him and get even. What happens afterward may change both their lives, if they can survive a man who wants Mark, A.K.A. Pete, dead.
    Art Theft 101: Vampire Philip and his team of art thieves -- shifter Duff, ghost Rob, and human Liddy -- agree to break tradition and help Ian Croft save his kidnapped nephew. Philip finds he's interested in Ian and believes his interest is returned. During the job, Philip finds not love but betrayal. Can he learn to trust once more when he meets Ephram, a fledgling vampire? Or will he be betrayed ... again?
    Second Story Men: Amery and Myles are a married couple, and professional burglars. When they break into a house, they find more than they were bargaining for -- two dead bodies. Now all they want to do is avoid being arrested for the murders. Then Fetch, a cop and Amery's ex, shows up with questions they'd rather not answer. Can they help solve the murders without Fetch discovering they were at the house -- and why?
    Wrong Side of the Law: Dirk is an ex undercover cop framed for blackmail and kicked off the force. After deciding to turn the tables and become a thief, can he put together a successful team of B&E specialists to steal on demand? And equally as important, can Dirk, who has sworn off love, find it again with team member Maverick? Or will they remain only friends with benefits?

    Sometimes it's the little cases. 
     
     
     
    Not every minute of being a detective is spent solving huge murder cases. Sometimes it's the little ones that take up Detective Young's life, like the seventy-year-old cold case that suddenly fell into his lap or figuring out if a death was suicide or murder. 
     
     
     
    Lance spends most of his time working cases that no one hears about. The unattended deaths of those not under a doctor's care take up most of his time. Now that he can speak to ghosts, some of those cases are the most interesting. Work isn't all that is keeping him busy—his brother's girlfriend has shown up in need of his help, and he can't refuse when she'd helped him so much in the past. 
     
     
     
    Life is never boring for Lance and Angus, and though work pulls them both in different directions, they always seem to meet up somewhere in the middle of things. Sometimes it feels like if murder and death didn't bring them together, they'd never get time together at all.

    Lights, Camera . . . Catastrophe. 
     
    When Oscar-winning actress Lilah Paxton torpedoes her career in spectacular fashion, she escapes to the sleepy English village of Bankton to lie low. But country life isn't quite the cozy retreat she imagined. There's mud, terrifying sheep, and absolutely no room service. 
     
    Blossom Baker, cheerful café owner and lifelong Lilah fangirl, always dreamed of meeting her idol. She just didn't expect her to be such a grump. Or completely incapable of basic adulting. 
     
    Determined to help Lilah find a new purpose (and keep her from starving), Blossom ropes her into small-town life, complete with community theater chaos, an overly friendly bull, and a whole lot of unexpected feelings. 
     
    But love isn't a script Lilah can memorize, and happily-ever-afters aren't as simple as Hollywood makes them seem. Can she prove she's finally ready for something real? And can a small-town barista really capture the heart of her teenage film-star crush? 
     
    For My Finale is a laugh-out-loud, opposites-attract sapphic romcom about finding yourself, falling in love, and the unexpected magic of second acts from bestselling writer Sienna Waters.

    "This book rewired my brain; it's a bonafide knockout." —Kristen Arnett, author of With Teeth "You can try bracing yourself for the ride this story takes you on, but it's best to just surrender. Your wig is going to fall off no matter what you do." —Saeed Jones, author of How We Fight for Our LivesA gut-busting and heartbreaking descent into one woman's fraying connection to reality, from a soon-to-be superstar.Coral is the first person to discover her brother Jay’s dead body in the wake of his suicide. There’s no note, only a drably furnished bachelor pad in Long Beach, California, and a cell phone with a handful of numbers in it. Coral pockets the phone. And then she starts responding to texts as her dead brother.Over the course of one week, Coral, the successful yet lonely author of a hit dystopian novel, Wildfire, becomes increasingly untethered from reality. Blindsided by grief and operating with reckless determination, she doubles —and triples—down on posing as her brother, risking not only her own sanity but her relationship with her precocious niece, Khadijah. As Coral’s swirl of lies slowly closes in on her, the quirky and mysterious alien world of Wildfire becomes enmeshed in her own reality, in the process pushing long-buried memories, traumas, and secrets dangerously into the present.A form-shifting and soul-crunching chronicle of grief and crisis, Venita Blackburn’s debut novel, Dead in Long Beach, California, is a fleet-footed marvel of self-discovery and storytelling that explores the depths of humankind’s capacity for harm and healing. With the daring, often hilarious imagination that made her an acclaimed short-fiction innovator, Blackburn crafts a layered, page-turning reckoning with what it means to be alive, dead, and somewhere in between.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
