Should Wren ask his best friend to go on practice dates when he’s madly in love with him? Probably not. But a bad idea has never stopped Wren before. The last thing he expects to discover is that Izzy has been mutually pining for him. How long will it take before their practice dates become real ones?

Wren Ferres

I’m so used to Izzy shooting down my flirtations and bad ideas, I almost don’t know what to do when he accepts my offer to be my dating tutor. I really should have thought this genius plan out better because my heart is not prepared for my best friend to turn into Prince Charming, then sweep me off my feet like his romancing is for real. We’re only going on “practice” dates, but it feels a little too realistic. But that gives me another brilliant idea: I should try to convince Izzy to be my actual boyfriend.

Since he’s already agreed to being my dating tutor, maybe I’ll push my luck by suggesting some kissing practice next?

Izzy Devereaux

I fell in love with Wren the day he literally crashed into my life and became my best friend. He pushes me to my limits with his playful flirting, naughty innuendos, and nonstop passes that wear my resistance down a little more each day. When he asks me to go out with him on practice dates to give him “pointers,” I know I should tell him there’s no way in hell I’ll do that. Agreeing would put me in serious danger of my secret feelings for him being discovered. But, it also presents a tempting opportunity to make him see me as more than just his best friend. Even more importantly, it could be my only shot at making him my actual boyfriend.

Our dates may be fake, but my feelings for him are all too real. I’ve spent years suppressing my love for him, which obviously isn’t working. If I want to win his heart and make him mine, maybe it’s time for me to embrace my role as his dating tutor and teach him a lesson on how to fall in love with me?

AN INDIE NEXT PICK!

From the #1 bestselling author in Japan comes a celebration of books, cats, and the people who love them, infused with the heartwarming spirit of The Guest Cat and The Travelling Cat Chronicles.

Bookish high school student Rintaro Natsuki is about to close the secondhand bookstore he inherited from his beloved bookworm grandfather. Then, a talking cat appears with an unusual request. The feline asks for—or rather, demands—the teenager’s help in saving books with him. The world is full of lonely books left unread and unloved, and the cat and Rintaro must liberate them from their neglectful owners. 

Their mission sends this odd couple on an amazing journey, where they enter different mazes to set books free. Through their travels, the cat and Rintaro meet a man who leaves his books to perish on a bookshelf, an unwitting book torturer who cuts the pages of books into snippets to help people speed read, and a publishing drone who only wants to create bestsellers. Their adventures culminate in one final, unforgettable challenge—the last maze that awaits leads Rintaro down a realm only the bravest dare enter . . . 

An enthralling tale of books, first love, fantasy, and an unusual friendship with a talking cat, The Cat Who Saved Books is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper. 

Translated from the Japanese by Louise Heal Kawai.

"Cats, books, young love, and adventure: catnip for a variety of readers!" –Kirkus

Your calendar is overloaded with meetings. Your inbox is filled with unread email. You hear the ringing of buzzwords and corporate jargon in your head. In other words, it’s a typical workday.

Your job might be rewarding, and you might even enjoy your day, if not for these annoyances.

Isn’t this just 'normal’ for a corporate job? Does it have to be this way?

No. There is a better approach.

Live and Let Work is a new mindset for the corporate employee. It looks at all of the little things that we take for granted in the work environment - email, meetings, presentations, jargon, goals, and more - and frames them with a new perspective. A perspective that says we can gain control and even enjoy these things. A perspective that says we don't have to waste our lives being bored and overworked.

Live and Let Work begins by covering the following aspects of the corporate workday:

• Email

• Meetings

• Presentations

• Motivation and Efficiency

The book then covers a set of soft skills that are critical in the corporate job / work environment:

• Word Choice

• Jargon

• Setting Expectations

• Setting Goals

• Be Yourself

This book is a call to action: Remove the obstacles from the corporate environment and replace them with the things that allow you to gain control and be effective. Make room to be yourself and enjoy your day. Learn to Live and Let Work!

Tales of Ghosts, Crimes, and the Paranormal: The Ghostly Visitation

A Sycamore Grove Ghostly Cozy Mystery

“Excuse me. Can we help you?” I wonder if she forgot to tell me someone else was helping us. The man looks up at me, shocked, while Maddie looks at me like I have three heads.

“Who are you talking to?” Her head whips around, clearly not seeing what I’m seeing.

Great. It’s official. I’m losing my mind. “Please tell me you can see him.” I point in the man’s direction at the man who’s still staring at me.

“You see me?” he asks, standing.

“Stay right there. Don’t move a muscle!”

“Eden, you’re kind of freaking me out. I don’t see anyone. We’re the only two back here.”

When Eden Kyle, an artist and tarot reader, moves to Sycamore Grove to help her niece develop a new store as a business, she starts seeing and hearing ghosts in the building where she is visiting. She soon has an encounter with the spirit of a recently murdered man who had been staying at the local B and B.

Most people could never kill without regret.

I don't have that luxury. I'm an artificial creation who exists solely to follow the orders of a tyrannical maniac. Death is the only constant I know.

I want more, so I'm running.

What lies beyond the realm of my former master, presents a whole new set of problems, including a mistake that lands me at death's door. I accept that. Welcome it, really. For a relic of war, death is my inevitable release.

It’s November in Chicago. Still healing from an encounter with the Corn Flakes Killer, Lieutenant Michelle “Mickey” Rooney and her partner, Sam Tanner, head out into the snowy night to investigate four seemingly unrelated drug killings. They appear to be run-of-the-mill drug deals gone bad…until witnesses at one of the crime scenes report that they saw the shooting. And they have overheard the name of the killer: Esteban Fernandez.

Mickey and the Chicago PD notify the Federal authorities, thanks to a new Federal APB on Fernandez. Fernandez has been declared a threat to National Security, and all movements are to be reported.

Justice Security has been given a government contract: find Esteban Fernandez and stop him. Bring him in for trial if possible, but stop him. When word reaches them that Fernandez is in Chicago, Joey Justice, his partners, and their FBI liaison, Marcus Moore, move quickly to the Windy City, and they take over the investigation.

They also take over Mickey Rooney and Sam Tanner, and draft them into the biggest crime case in Chicago’s history…a crime case that Mickey will never be allowed to talk about.

Action, humor, and a two-night-romance for Mickey and Marcus…find out what happens when Justice Security takes on insane Mexican drug cartel leader, Esteban Fernandez, in the Windy City! Read T. M. Bilderback’s novel, inspired by the classic song performed by Paper Lace, The Night Chicago Died!

Despite his low expectations, he finds Pickleville isn’t the same old tired farming town, although two things remain the same. The same bully wants to drag him down. And Travis Heath is still the hottest guy in town. And somehow Jaron has gained both of their attention. One offers nothing but pain. The other offers a love he’s not sure he should trust.

From the author of the Rainbow Awards honorably mentioned, The Journey of Jimini Renn and the Saint Lakes Series comes the first book in the Pickleville series.
