  As the nightmares descend, I will hold you dear... 
   
  Six months after the life-altering events whose impact affected his higher soul, Gabriel is struggling not to lose everything he has managed to carve out for himself in Vienna with Florian and Solomon. 
   
  Then Gabriel sees dark omens: the nature spirit Augarten's nightmares are coming. Gabriel knows powerful magic is woven into his very existence, and whether he allows the nature spirit access to that magic may very well determine whether Gabriel and his lovers survive the nightmares. Augarten holds their fate in her hands, and the bargain she is insisting upon is a tough one: it may even cost Gabriel his life and happiness. 
   
  Is there any path forward that will allow Gabriel to hold onto his joyful life with two men? Or will he be required to pay the ultimate price and lose their treasured love? 
   
  Newyddian, the fifth book of the Augarten series, is a 50,000-word MMM urban fantasy romance about a love that spans lifetimes. It contains magical realism, cute baby trees, a book bindery full of lost memories, and even in the darkest times, lots of espresso. 
   
  The Augarten series is now complete and is best read in order: Equinox, Syzygy, Hiraeth, Florian, Newyddian and Eviternity.

  Meet seventeen-year-old Noah York, the narrator of Bart Yates's astonishing debut novel. With a mouth like a truck driver and eyes that see through the lies of the world, Noah is heading into a life that's only getting more complicated by the day. 
   
   
   
  His dead father is fading into a snapshot memory. His mother, the famous psycho-poet, has relocated them from Chicago to a rural New England town that looks like a bad advertisement for small-town America. He can't seem to start a sentence without using the "f" word. And now, the very house he lives in is coming apart at the seams—literally—torn down bit by bit as he and his mother renovate the old Victorian. But deep within the walls lie secrets from a previous life—mason jars stuffed with bits of clothing, scraps of writing, old photographs—clues to the mysterious existence of a woman who disappeared decades before. While his mother grows more obsessed and unsettled by the discovery of these homemade reliquaries, Noah fights his own troubling obsession with the boy next door, the enigmatic J.D. 
   
   
   
  Part Portnoy, part Holden Caufield, Noah York is a touching and unforgettable character. His story is one of hope and heartbreak, love and redemption, of holding on to old wounds when new skin is what's needed, and of the power of growing up whole once every secret has been set free.

  Speak No Evil - A Novel

  In the long-anticipated novel from the author of the critically acclaimed Beasts of No Nation, a revelation shared between two privileged teenagers from very different backgrounds sets off a chain of events with devastating consequences. 
  On the surface, Niru leads a charmed life. Raised by two attentive parents in Washington, D.C., he’s a top student and a track star at his prestigious private high school. Bound for Harvard in the fall, his prospects are bright. But Niru has a painful secret: he is queer—an abominable sin to his conservative Nigerian parents. No one knows except Meredith, his best friend, the daughter of prominent Washington insiders—and the one person who seems not to judge him. 
  When his father accidentally discovers Niru is gay, the fallout is brutal and swift. Coping with troubles of her own, however, Meredith finds that she has little left emotionally to offer him. As the two friends struggle to reconcile their desires against the expectations and institutions that seek to define them, they find themselves speeding toward a future more violent and senseless than they can imagine. Neither will escape unscathed. 
  In the tradition of Junot Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah, Speak No Evil explores what it means to be different in a fundamentally conformist society and how that difference plays out in our inner and outer struggles. It is a novel about the power of words and self-identification, about who gets to speak and who has the power to speak for other people. As heart-wrenching and timely as his breakout debut, Beasts of No Nation, Uzodinma Iweala’s second novel cuts to the core of our humanity and leaves us reeling in its wake.

  The Falcon and the Foe

  Two single dads. One huge grudge. And one tiny tent. 
  It’s hard enough balancing two jobs with raising my son solo. Forget dating. I barely have time for laundry. 
  But when my son’s scouting troop The Falcons needed a co-scout leader, I couldn’t say no. There’s just one ginormous problem: the other scout leader Russ. 
  To all other parents, he’s #DadGoals, Mr. Sexy Widower who lords over the drop off line. 
  To me? He’s the bane of my picket-fenced existence - stuck up, anal (not in the fun way), and definitely the person who got me booted from the Parent Teacher Association. I can’t let him wrest control of The Falcons and have history repeat itself - no matter how hot he looks in his khaki uniform. 
  Thing is, the more we work together, the more I glimpse the caring man lurking under the cold exterior. Maybe he isn’t the completely wretched human being I thought. 
  We’d both sworn off romance to focus on fatherhood, and nothing’s going to change that, not even sharing a too-small tent in the wilderness. 
  Right? 
  The Falcon and the Foe is an MM enemies-to-lovers romance containing hot single dads, sizzling snarky banter, pitched tent puns, skinny dipping, and an HEA. It's the first in the Single Dads Club series, but can be read as a standalone.

This AI being loves Oscar's story of two ancient enemies becoming lovers and saving humanity. When John remembers his lost identity, he helps Oscar escape.
