Synopsis

When his father is accused of rebellion and forced to commit seppuku, it falls to Maki Bunshirō to protect his family's house from future retribution. Training as a samurai, Bunshirō must hone his skills with the sword and make powerful allies among the elders of the domain if he hopes to survive. As he is navigating clan politics, the object of his youthful affection, Fuku, becomes the mistress of the lord of the domain. When Fuku and her child become the key to the future of the domain, Bunshirō is forced to choose between what his lord commands and his childhood love.
Semishigure, literally meaning "cicada showers," refers to the ever-present noise of insects chirping in Japanese summers, a nostalgic reminder of the passing seasons. This much-loved, sentimental samurai novel by Shuhei Fujisawa, the undisputed master of the genre, is finally available in English, and Thomas Harper's deft translation brings all of the power, longing, and joy of the original that has captivated generations of Japanese readers.

    Never make a deal at the crossroads. But if you do, certainly never buy your riches with someone else’s pound of flesh. 
    The late thirties in the Deep South were hard, unforgiving times. But for Henry, Tanner, and Edgar, things have miraculously turned around. The only catch is that if they want to keep their good fortune, they have to tend to a … pet. 
    Aside from their nightly pet sitting duties, their lavish new lives in Shreveport have been gravy. Henry has his prestigious medical practice. Tanner has his slick, chromed-out Duesenberg dealership. And Edgar has two grocery stores that are the epitome of modernity. 
    The wealthy and influential folk of the Louisiana town have welcomed the three with open arms and wallets. Which, in the middle of the Great Depression, is no small feat. Especially when the three are full of shady secrets and lies. 
    Tonight, Henry is hosting a Halloween party for the elite, and the three friends must feed their little pet before they join the party. When things get out of hand, their pet slips her leash. 
    And once it’s snapped, all hell will break loose. 
    'Mine' is a gruesome erotic extreme horror novella in the style of Hellraiser, written from the perspective of the “Monster” but will leave you wondering who the real monster truly is.

    I'm stuck with my one-night stand. 
     
     
     
    What was supposed to be a quick and blissful night with a yummy stranger has turned into my worst nightmare, thanks to a nasty storm and power outage. 
     
     
     
    The carefree single life I choose to lead only works because I wholeheartedly avoid getting to know the guys I meet. And now, I'm dangerously close to being swept off my feet by the tattooed former soccer player. I can't escape learning every intriguing detail about him. Not that it matters. I won't be seeing him again. Except fate intervenes, and I do see him again—and he asks me to marry him. 
     
     
     
    With wild hair and charm for days, Wade Jameson is the stuff of fantasies. It's why I hooked up with him in the first place. But marriage? Ha! I cherish my single life like I do my margaritas. 
     
     
     
    But when he insists I'm his best option to get custody of his daughter since we have "a history," I can't say no. I can't share with him the main reason I say yes, either. That would mean getting even closer to him, and developing real feelings for my fake husband would be a mistake. 
     
     
     
    But the more we pretend to be a family, the more I surprise myself and wonder . . . what if we can have it all?

    November “Novel” Calendar is ready to start her real life. She’s always lived at home, and she’s not able to truly research the way she needs to, so she calls a matchmaker whose specialty is introducing people at the altar. She’s convinced that a marriage of convenience is the only way for her to be truly happy. Novel has read enough romance novels to know she belongs with a tall, dark, and handsome man who is just waiting for her to complete his life. 
    Tyler Carrington is doing his best to raise three daughters on his own. When his ten-year-old starts asking questions that could be better answered by a woman, he decides it’s time to remarry—someone who won’t leave him with three little girls to raise on his own like his first wife did. He has no intention of falling in love with the woman he marries. The whole purpose of marrying is to get someone to be a mother to his girls, not to enjoy the companionship of a woman. 
    Will the two be able to come together in the end? Or will Novel get the real-life wake-up call she needs?
