  An autobiographical novel from Édouard Louis, hailed as one of the most important voices of his generation—about social class, transformation, and the perils of leaving the past behind. 
   
   
   
  One question took center stage in my life, it focused all of my thoughts and occupied every moment when I was alone with myself: how could I get this revenge, by what means? I tried everything. 
   
   
   
  Édouard Louis longs for a life beyond the poverty, discrimination, and violence in his working-class hometown—so he sets out for school in Amiens, and, later, university in Paris. He sheds the provincial "Eddy" for an elegant new name, determined to eradicate every aspect of his past. He reads incessantly; he dines with aristocrats; he spends nights with millionaires and drug-dealers alike. Everything he does is motivated by a single obsession: to become someone else. At once harrowing and profound, Change is not just a personal odyssey, a story of dreams and of "the beautiful violence of being torn away," but a vividly rendered portrait of a society divided by class, power, and inequality.

  Sergi has stopped lying to himself: he’s had a crush on a guy for a while. 
  Things seem to be looking up when the guy turns out to be an omega and he agrees to take Sergi as his bondmate. But it isn’t as simple as alpha meets omega and they live happily ever after. 
  For one thing, Ray has four other alphas. For another, one of them seems intent on ignoring every one of the conventions alphas are meant to live by. Sergi should be angry and he’s certainly worried, but the more lines Iesu crosses, the closer he gets to the person Sergi has always been afraid to be. 
  Is Sergi brave enough to face himself and does Iesu have the patience to wait him out while he does? 
  Book 2 in The Stars of the Pack series.

  Martin quits his job, sells his house, and buys a set of fixer-upper cabins on the coast. There's just one teensy problem. Along with the property comes a very angry man. 
   
   
   
  Nicholas Waugh had his own scare. With no home to call his own, he finagles a security gig keeping an eye on a set of vacant cabins. The deal comes with a free one-year lease–and he's not leaving a day sooner. 
   
   
   
  Fifteen years of teaching, and patience is second nature to Martin. But Nick is giving Martin a run for his money. If that wasn't enough, Martin finds himself fighting an inappropriate and ridiculous attraction to the much younger man. 
   
   
   
  Everyone in Cooper Springs thinks Nick is crying wolf, but creepy stuff is going on around town. When human remains are found in the forest, and a body is dumped on the property he's in charge of, Nick is on high alert. Martin wants to get started on the remodel. Instead, he's fighting with Nick over things that go bump in the night and losing sleep worrying he's made a disastrously wrong decision. 
   
   
   
  Failure is not an option. 
   
   
   
  What will it take for Nick to let his guard down? What will it take for Martin to admit that age is just a number and Nick is more than man enough for him?

  They say time heals all wounds. Well, I'm not getting any younger. 
   
   
   
  My disciplinary file at ESCU is almost as thick as my personnel file, which is saying something since I've been working for them for more than twenty years. I do the jobs no one else wants, go places no one is supposed to go to deal with monsters that don't exist. After a while, you get a feel for how a mission's going to go, and I have a feeling this next one is going to be fifty shades of FUBAR. 
   
   
   
  And not just because my new partner, Ziggy, is last night's one-night stand. 
   
   
   
  Whom I may have accidentally married . . . 
   
   
   
  He's a furry blue monster with big dreams and an even bigger heart. We're supposed to be locating an escaped monster and the AWOL soldier who broke him out. I can't afford to complicate our working relationship with feelings, especially given how my last relationship ended. 
   
   
   
  For better or worse we're stuck together until I can figure out how to undo this, which is just as well considering everything I know about ESCU might be a lie. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
