  One bed. Two best friends. Three nights playing pretend. 
  When I agreed to let Rome be my fake boyfriend on a work trip, I didn’t think acting like a couple would be that complicated. 
  He’d flash his killer smile at my colleagues. 
  Impress them with his charm. 
  While keeping my toxic ex at bay. 
  But that’s not the reality I’m currently drowning in. 
  From the moment we arrive at the resort Rome’s hands are all over me. 
  His whispered words in my ear more scandalously filthy than sweet. 
  He’s acting like a lust-drunk fool who’s dying for a taste and I can’t stop blushing… Or panicking… Because there’s only one bed in our hotel room and Rome Cavanaugh wouldn’t know how to sleep in anything other than his birthday suit.

  Buckle Up for a Deliriously Uncanny Literary Ride 
  Have you ever wondered about the deep-sea depths of unorthodox, unclassifiable stories that most ghostwriters take to their graves unseen? The kind of tales that straddle realities and make you second-guess the line between fact and fabulist fiction? 
  If so, "Mnemonic Phantasms" is the deliciously twisted tell-all you've been waiting for. In this daring anthology, an anonymous ghostwriter exposes some of the most bizarre, mind-bending client requests they've encountered over decades of sculpting prose in the shadows. 
  From crafting alien abduction memoirs and decoding subterranean civilisation epics to channelling celebrity afterlife autobiographies and exorcising cult leader manifestos - no paranormal subject, interdimensional whisper, or eccentric megalomania is off limits. 
  With dizzying narrative dexterity and a masterful command of speculative psychosphere violation, "Ava Silica" (a soigné nom de plume) brings readers along for a wild ride. It's a no-holds-barred immersion into the most uncharted, unchartable territories where few ghostwriters dare to tread. 
  Part memoir, part uncategorisable omnibus, this one-of-a-kind volume boldly unveils every ghostwriter's darkest secret—that the most unbelievable assignments are also often the most demanding. Thanks to Silica's decision to shatter the civility cloaks of confidentiality, you, the reader, get to experience the delicious, disturbing psilocybin trip of sheer WTF?! First-hand.

  You know what you did. So do I. 
  The man who’s been stalking Private Investigator Winter Black is dead, but he wasn’t working alone. Threats linger in the shadows, and she can’t shake the chilling feeling that she’s being watched. 
  It’s about to get personal…again. 
  A flyer advertising her business—Black Investigations—was found on the tenth-floor balcony of a woman who apparently jumped to her death. Except Winter has never seen the brochure before. Stranger still, her two newest clients received the same fake flyer, along with a blackmail letter. 
  Pay for your crime or kill yourself. 
  Did the dead woman receive the same threat and choose option two? Or did someone make that choice for her? 
  As Winter digs deeper into her clients’ dark confessions and pasts, she finds more questions than answers—and a terrifying pattern. Someone is playing a twisted game, and the flyers are an invitation for Winter to play…whether she wants to or not. But it’s hard to win when you don’t know the rules. Or your opponent. 
  The stakes have never been higher in Winter’s Stalker, the darkly addictive seventh book in the Winter Black Season Two series, where one thing becomes chillingly clear: in this game, there are fates worse than death.

  Dreaming of Ramadi in Detroit -...

  An electric essay collection about Blackness, art, and dreaming of new possibilities in a time of constriction 
   
   
   
  This collection of innovative, penetrating, and lively essays features swimming pools and poets, road trips and museums, family dinners and celebrity sightings. In a voice that is at once piercing, mournful, and slyly comic, Aisha Sabatini Sloan inhabits several roles: she is an art enthusiast in Los Angeles during a city-wide manhunt; a daughter on a road trip with her father; a professor playing with puppets in the wilds of Vermont; an interloper on a police ride-along in Detroit; a collector of the dreams of scientists at a biostation. As she watches cell phone video recordings of murder and is haunted in her sleep by the news, she reflects on her formative experiences with aesthetic and spiritual discovery, troubling those places where Blackness has been conflated with death. 
   
   
   
  Sabatini Sloan's lively style is perfectly suited to the way she circles a subject or an idea before cinching it tight. The curiosity that guides each essay, focusing on the period between the 2016 election and the onset of the pandemic, is rooted in the supposition that there is an intrinsic relationship between the way we conceptualize darkness and our collective opportunity for awakening.

  In the stormy ancient seas of Thalassia, where arcane tides rise with the pull of forgotten moons and mermaid sorcerers command whirlpools of enchantment, Sirena the tide-weaver falls for Caspian, a shipwrecked human prince with a heart attuned to the ocean's roar. Their forbidden romance, sealed with a pearl vow under bioluminescent waves, stirs the wrath of the deep's abyssal guardians and jealous sea witches. As they dive through coral labyrinths teeming with leviathan shadows and storm-summoned tempests, Sirena's magic entwines with Caspian's unyielding spirit, unveiling a submerged prophecy that could unite surface and depths or flood the world in vengeful waters. Betrayed by a siren spy in their midst, they must navigate treacherous currents laced with illusionary mirages to reclaim a lost trident of harmony. In the heart of arcane tides, where every wave carries a lover's sigh and every storm hides a drowned dream, their passion becomes the current that defies the seas' ancient divide.
