I really, really… really want to take the deal. I’ve spent more money on things so ridiculous I’m embarrassed to admit them.” “I sense there’s a ‘but’ coming.” “But… there’s no amount of money that will keep you from falling in love with me.” Amara Riley works for her crush and personal hero, Grayson Davis, a 30's Zuckerberg type CEO of an internet startup called Webster, the story world's equivalent of Facebook.

     But I can’t help myself, even if he’s straight. Noah is the first thing I see as I walk through the doors of the historic Gilded Fox, and just one glance is enough to set my body on fire. The exclusive club offers power and luxury, but all I can think about is Noah. I never in a million years thought I’d find something worth giving up all my money for. But I have to stop letting my fantasies run wild. I need to focus. I’ve just been inducted into a secretive circle I never knew existed. The men at the club show restraint, but I can sense the tinge of sexual energy hidden behind closed doors. Still, not everything is as it seems. There are power dynamics at play within the club, and the other members have heard that I’m gunning for a position of authority. The problem? Some of them don’t want me to take control. On top of that, I can’t stop thinking about Noah. I don’t want to fall for a guy who says he’s straight. But judging from the way his body responds to mine, he’s not so sure. NOAH: I’ve never been with a guy, and I sure as hell have never been with a billionaire. One minute I’m enjoying my job as one of the few straight men working in an exclusive social club for gay men, the Gilded Fox. The next minute my ordinary life is turned upside down. We come from two totally different worlds, and to make matters worse, employees are strictly forbidden from fraternizing with club members. I don’t want to risk everything by breaking the rules, but I’m wrestling with feelings I’ve never felt before. But Ben won’t back down. Everyone in the club is vying for a powerful position, while I’m angling for a different position entirely: preferably whichever one gets him alone. I try to keep my feelings under control, but I find myself swept up in a fantasy life where men don’t hold back from expressing their attraction to other men. I’ve always thought of myself as straight, and being surrounded by gay men all day, you’d think I’d know for sure. But Ben isn’t like the others. He’s something dangerously different. This is the first book in Jason Collins’ debut series. Readers can expect an extra spicy MM romance. Fair warning, this book has a heat level of 100.

    Danielle spoke only in grunts and yelps, walked on her tiptoes, was not toilet-trained and drank from a bottle. She was almost seven years old. But hope and help were waiting for this little girl. In October 2007, Bernie and Diane Lierow, a hard-working couple with five boys of their own, adopted her and utterly transformed her life. This book tells the moving story of how the Lierows rescued Dani and helped her recover to the point where she can not only communicate, something once thought impossible, but can say of herself, "I pretty." Dani's Story was featured on Oprah and the subject of a Pulitzer Prize-winning article published by the St. Petersburg Times. The Lierows describe their struggle to adopt Dani, how they bonded with her and made a home for her, how they satisfied her craving for contact and stimuli, how Dani began to overcome her severe learning disabilities, how she learned she no longer had to steal food, and how their son Willie may be the greatest brother ever. Charting a perilous journey from hardship to hope, a new family, and a second chance at life, Dani's Story is a book you cannot put down and will never forget.

    That doesn't stop her reading about them, or writing wild fantasy novels during her day job in a small NYC bookstore. Then suddenly, she finds herself in the middle of a strange world, with no damn phone reception and, worse, no way home. Until now, being adopted was the hardest thing she had to deal with, and the accompanying knowledge that nobody had a clue where she'd come from. When brothers Elladan and Aerin find her wandering around the forest after dark, they take her back to their home for the night before she can learn of the dangers that lurk between the trees. They're beautiful and dangerous and seem like they've stepped straight out of one of Elora's books, and though she's wary, they promise to help her. Except the brothers have no idea how she got there, either, and refuse to let her leave until they figure it out. They insist that she, and her world, are not what they seem. At first, she resents them for trapping her, but soon, she discovers that this strange land feels more like home than New York ever did. He feels like home. But she's filled with questions, and no one seems to want to give her any answers. Caught between a centuries old prophecy that seemed to foretell her arrival and a war she wants nothing to do with, Elora must make her choice: to embrace the strange new powers she’s spent her whole life writing about, or to get out while she can and let her newfound home, and the man she's damn near fallen for, burn.
