Summary

Giancarlo De Luca is chef and owner of the Ristorante De Luca, a bustling eatery in the heart of Manhattan that has served as neutral ground for supernatural creatures for over a hundred years. He's busy creating beautiful recipes and has no time to deal with rude customers, the drama of old rivalries, or the gorgeous vampire trying to court him.
Joseph has pursued Giancarlo for years with no success, but in an attempt to bring the vampire factions together under his leadership, he claims the human chef as mate and the Ristorante De Luca as vampire territory, and the fragile truce between werewolves, witches, and vampires shatters. 
Before Joseph can apologize, and before Giancarlo can admit to being secretly pleased by the vampire's romantic intents, war breaks out and Giancarlo finds himself at the center of the mess. Joseph springs into action to save his would-be mate, but Giancarlo has a secret of his own that could change the tide of the war and prove he is better suited to be Joseph's mate than anyone suspected. 
When the dust settles, is Giancarlo willing to face the danger and responsibility that comes with being a vampire's mate? Or will the stubborn chef go back to cooking alone?

    "Blood Orange" is a highly emotional, important and timely poetry collection by Mx. Yaffa (They/She), a trans Muslim displaced Indigenous Palestinian. Their writings probe the yearning for home, belonging, mental health, queerness, transness, and other dimensions of marginalization while nurturing dreams of utopia against the background of ongoing displacement and genocide of indigenous Palestinians. 
    The collection came quickly and relentlessly, drawn from the depths of the author's soul during a movement for a free Palestine and aligned with a solar eclipse. It beckons readers to re-evaluate what is perceived as immutable and to imagine pathways toward Utopia.  
    "Blood Orange"- the title an homage to the Yaffa Oranges (which were appropriated first by the British and subsequently by Israel) refers to the author themselves, their homeland and blood spilled in the name of settler colonialism. 
    This highly charged and cathartic body of work confronts the anguish and loss inflicted by genocide but also embraces a vision of a world free of it. The poems within "Blood Orange" were a means of working through and processing the grief caused by recent events and serve as an act of protest and defiance against settler colonialism as a whole.
