A “marvelously amusing” political fable in which part of the European continent breaks off and drifts away on its own (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
 
A Nobel Prize winner who has been called “the García Márquez of Portugal” (New Statesman) chronicles world events on a human scale in this exhilarating allegorical novel.
 
One day, quite inexplicably, the Iberian Peninsula simply breaks free from the European continent and begins to drift as if it were a sort of stone raft. Panic ensues as residents and tourists attempt to escape, while crowds gather on cliffs to watch the newly formed island sail off into the sea.
 
Meanwhile, five people on the island are drawn together—first by a string of surreal events and then by love. Taking to the road to explore the limits of their now finite land, they find themselves adrift in a world made new by this radical shift in perspective. As bureaucrats ponder what to do about their unusual predicament, the intertwined lives of these five strangers are clarified and forever changed by a physical, spiritual, and sexual voyage to an unknown destination.
 
At once an epic adventure and a profound fable about the state of the European project, The Stone Raft is a “hauntingly lyrical narrative with political, social, and moral underpinnings” (Booklist) that “may be Saramago’s finest work” (Los Angeles Times).
 
Translated from the Portuguese by Giovanni Pontiero

The family that slays together stays together

Oren and his sister June both work with their mother in the family business. Life in the empire is dangerous but they are doing alright. Until one day they run into the son of the local magistrate and things go wrong.

The magistrate declares that Oren has wronged his son and the only recompense is June's hand in marriage. Instead of letting her children suffer at the magistrate's cruel abuse of his powers, Sanna decides to take June north to her homeland. But the journey will be long and hard, full of monsters, magic and soldiers hell-bent on bringing them back.

This is an exciting coming of age progression fantasy that fans of Cradle and He Who Fights with Monsters will be sure to enjoy!

The first time Caerwyn meets his mate, it ends with rejection, growling, and bear shifters…oh, my!

After his parents die in a tragic car accident, dragon shifter Caerwyn Lewis doesn’t know how to grieve properly, not that he really has time. He has siblings that are relying on him to pay off the debt their parents incurred on the farm. Also, he has a brother who isn’t taking their parents’ death well. The last thing he needs is a distraction, but that’s what he gets when his Alpha calls him in to help another neighboring shifter town. The distraction comes in the form of a handsome but grumpy bear shifter named Rory.

I’m captured by dragon shifters.
They say I’m their fated mate.
If they discover I’m magical, I’ll be put to death.

I reject them, but they don’t take no for an answer. It doesn’t matter how they soften my heart or make my body sing. The rule of The Six is absolute. If I don’t keep my secret, then Drisella will kill them. I can’t let that happen.

I have to get back to the wolf shifters who’ve protected me all my life. I’ve learned what The Six are planning to do and I must warn them.

Ancient Fae magic has awoken inside me. A little piece of the fabled Fae King’s grimoire demands to be let loose and I can’t control it.

The secret of my past is remembered. A decades long plan has started that the parents I never knew died for.

The Six are coming for us. My dragon mates are in danger. I must control the untameable magic locked inside me and take down the most powerful beings to ever have lived.

Magic Bonded is the second book in this dystopian romance series. This action-packed, heart-wrenching ride gives you a kickass heroine, three irresistible shifters, a steamy romance with no choosing required, and evil enemies like you've never seen before in each book.

A collection of addictive, emotional thrillers exploring the dark side of motherhood.

In My Perfect Daughter, Zoe didn't meet her daughter the way most mothers do. She finds five-year-old Maddie alone and dirty on a countryside road. Frightened for Maddie's safety, she picks her up and takes her back to her father, not knowing what she's about to step into. Because Maddie wasn't just lost, she was there to lure her serial killer dad's new victim.

In Little One, Fran reunites a lost child with her family. But why does little Esther keep running away? Fran worries for the girl's safety and not long later, the entire family disappears...

In Silent Child, Emma watched helplessly as her six-year-old son's red coat was fished out of the River Ouse. But Aiden's body was never recovered. Ten years later, he stumbles out of the woods alone... and silent...

Ties That Bind delves into every parent's worst fears and the strength it takes to overcome them. These three thrillers will have you on the edge of your seat.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is a brand new epic novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eragon, Christopher Paolini.

Kira Navárez dreamed of life on new worlds.

Now she's awakened a nightmare.

During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move.

As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human.

While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope . . .

Some truths set you free. Others show you just how trapped you really are.

Uncovering the brutal reality of the arena has been a game changer. But unlike most truth it hasn’t set them free. Armed only with their collective ability and desire for vengeance they hatch a plan akin to a suicide mission to take down the corporation responsible for their untold weeks of hell.

This final show down is going to challenge not just their metal and identities, but their entire view of the world as they know it.

As terrifying as the prospect of facing down an entire corporation the size of a military empire may seem the stakes are far bigger than just their own survival. The way of life, and the collective character of the human race, now hangs precariously in the balance. Only they can tip the scales.

If you liked Maze Runner, Aliens, The Hunger Games, Lost or Firefly, you’re going to love this psychological sci-fi mystery.

We’re known for our savagery.

We run New York City. We control every inch of it and anyone that gets in our way is executed.

I protect the people from con artists and thugs like the cartel. But I’m not a good guy. I loathe thinking of myself as a vigilante. And did I mention that my little sister tried to put me behind bars?

When a young woman's car breaks down in the rain, I’m feeling overly generous.

I recognize her, she’s a nurse from Steele Concierge Medical, at least that’s what she wants me to believe…

I bring her into my compound to protect her during the storm.

But she betrays me.

Turns out that she’s FBI, working undercover, and intends on destroying the Bratva from the inside.

Now that I know the truth, who will protect her from me?

BRUTAL BOSS is a steamy enemies to lovers Russian Mafia romance. It can be read as a standalone novel. The Bratva Brothers were previously introduced in Ruthless Vow (Mafia Marriages Book Five). It is not required that you have read Ruthless Vow before reading any of the Bratva Brothers series books.

No cheating. No cliffhanger. Happily Ever After ending.

There is a voice in Michael's head.

A voice that tells him he is worthless and unlovable. The voice masquerades as his own, wreaking havoc on his friendships and romantic relationships. It keeps him from pursuing his calling—a career as a pastor. It tears his life apart piece by piece, leading him to attempt suicide on more than one occasion. The voice almost defeats him, and yet there is another, more powerful voice—the still, small voice of God always whispering to him, “I love you.”

This is the true story of Michael’s journey from a precocious child in a small town to the spiritual leader of a faith community, and how he slowly and fitfully learns how to listen to the better angels within. Told with brutal honesty and insight into his own mental condition, this is a story of friendship, depression, despair, faith, and a God who refuses to let go.

A woman on the edge. A butcher’s taunts. When he invades her psyche, will she become his final victim?

But when the elusive murderer goes to work in her new city, she renews her passion to bring him to justice after he leaves a sinister calling card at her door…

Teaming with Detectives Daniels and Remalla to solve the grisly crimes, Jill despises the psychic connection that allows her to experience the horror through the depraved psychopath’s eyes. And as the killer stays one step ahead of their investigation, she fears losing her last shreds of sanity when she realizes he craves having her in his head.

A Wholesome, Spicy, and Realistic LGBTQ+ Romance That Will Get Your Heart and Body Warming - The Perfect Read for Those Who

Need a Little Romance in Their Life

I loved who I was. I was comfortable — mind, body, and soul.
I knew who I was and that the genitalia between my legs didn’t make me any less of a woman than the females around me. I could also wear skirts and walk around freely and none would be the wiser, until… you know.

But, that wasn’t an issue. Usually.
I moved to town about a year ago and my sweet supportive co-worker had been working her ass off trying to set me up on a date. From ‘sophisticated guys’ who liked lemon in their whiskey to guys who she thought were just absolutely ‘perfect’ for me. (Spoiler Alert: they never were.)
“It'll be fun this time! I promise!”
I gave her a flat look and remembered all the horrendous dates she’s set me up with. Not until I see him walk into the bookstore. Hearing the soft tinkle inkle link of the bells and watching him step through the door, any signs of a frown would disappear from my face and made me swell up under my skirt.
I didn’t think that by the time I’d hear the second tinkle inkle link of the bells, I’d have secured myself a date with the town’s hero — Less, Mr. April of the fireman's calendar.

I also didn’t think that I would have anything to worry about when it came to him. Except… he didn’t know what I had under my skirt.
What’s Under Her Skirt is a fantastically funny, yet realistically romantic LGBTQ-friendly romance. Of course, it isn’t without its spicy moments that will leave you out of breath. Come alongside Eda, a woman who’s comfortable in the body that she was born in, as she tries to navigate life and love.

A mad heiress and a false fiancé... The younger son of an earl, Dominic Renbourne is offered an irresistible bribe by his arrogant, identical twin brother, Kyle, who is heir to the earldom. All he must do is take Kyle's place at Warfield Manor, where he is to politely court Lady Meriel Grahame, the orphaned and vastly wealthy heiress Kyle is pledged to marry. The deception need only take a few weeks and no one will be the wiser because the fey Lady Meriel lives in a world of her own. The last thing Dominic expects when he arrives is to be entranced by a silent sylph whose ethereal beauty is as stunning as her passionate love for Warfield's flowers and fields and creatures. Until now, Meriel has kept her distance from normal society, spending her days at one with nature and safe from the nightmare that nearly destroyed her as a child. She is content to live alone, until the handsome intruder begins to inspire dreams of the world beyond her sanctuary. He understands her as no one else ever has--and because she lives outside society's rules, she sees no need to restrain her desire for the man who is surely her destined mate. Though Dominic’s sense of duty helps him control his longing for his brother’s future bride, Meriel’s untamed spirit proves more powerful than he can resist. In her garden paradise, passion binds them body and soul despite the agonizing consequences. Can Meriel forgive Dominic's deceit once she learns he is not Kyle, and can Kyle forgive the betrayal of the brother who had once been closer than his own shadow? Then past and present collide in a dangerous cataclysm that may bring destruction--or lasting love and a hope for beginnings. The Bride Trilogy Book 1: The Wild Child Book 2: The China Bride Book 3: The Bartered Bride

An instant New York Times Bestseller!

The new uplifting book from Matt Haig, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library, for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of a little encouragement.

Named by The Washington Post as one of the best feel-good books of 2021.

“It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learnt while we are at our lowest. But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard.”

THE COMFORT BOOK is Haig’s life raft: it’s a collection of notes, lists, and stories written over a span of several years that originally served as gentle reminders to Haig’s future self that things are not always as dark as they may seem. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig offers warmth and reassurance, reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence.

Do you doubt whether true, unconditional love exists?

Society tells you to compromise and lower your standards.

But God is greater than the ways of this world, and His love is a powerful thing. Some people try to buy love or earn it, but love cannot be purchased or achieved.

True love is as the Bible says, “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son” (John 3:16).

Having unconditional love can feel like an impossible thing, but true love is a choice and a gift you give repeatedly.

Author Geraldine Jones and her husband, Edward Jones, were married for nearly four decades before he went to be with Jesus in September 2020. Through their life of ups and downs, God continually showed them the way to love each other with words of affirmation, kindness, and His undying love.

Amazing Love shares their story and Jones hopes that others will begin to believe in true love again—and learn to trust in the One who makes it possible.

Unconditional love cannot be manufactured or created or forced. It comes from deep within, and it comes from Jesus Christ.

Jesus loves us all unconditionally and lived a perfect example of love on earth. God’s love is the only love that will never ever disappoint.

Make Jesus the center of your relationship and Amazing Love will follow.

An instant New York Times bestseller

The new standalone novel from bestselling author Jasper Fforde

Every Winter, the human population hibernates.

During those bitterly cold four months, the nation is a snow-draped landscape of desolate loneliness, devoid of human activity.

Well, not quite.

Your name is Charlie Worthing and it's your first season with the Winter Consuls, the committed but mildly unhinged group of misfits who are responsible for ensuring the hibernatory safe passage of the sleeping masses.

You are investigating an outbreak of viral dreams which you dismiss as nonsense; nothing more than a quirky artefact born of the sleeping mind.

When the dreams start to kill people, it's unsettling.

When you get the dreams too, it's weird.

When they start to come true, you begin to doubt your sanity.

But teasing truth from the Winter is never easy: You have to avoid the Villains and their penchant for murder, kidnapping and stamp collecting; ensure you aren't eaten by Nightwalkers, whose thirst for human flesh can only be satisfied by comfort food; and sidestep the increasingly less-than-mythical WinterVolk.

But so long as you remember to wrap up warmly, you'll be fine.
