He wasn't famous then. He was the boy next door; my foster brother's best friend. A popular jock and out of my league. But he said he loved me. He said he'd keep my heart safe. He lied. Now fifteen years later, I've picked up the fragments of my shattered heart. I've built a new life as a child advocacy lawyer. My food issues are quasi under control, my secrets are buried, and I've even made a tenuous peace with my plus-size body.

Weston Ashford was determined to have it all. After a tumultuous upbringing, he'd found a family of his own and his calling: surfing.

Years later, he's fresh-out-the-slammer and stripped of his medal.

That is, until he crosses paths with his coach's daughter.

The Mediterranean Fleet under Lord Collingwood is at its greatest ever—more than a hundred vessels—and is far too small for the tasks demanded of it. The French have invaded Spain, their former ally, and are ravaging the land in a fashion unseen since the Thirty Years War in the Germanies. The Barbary Corsairs are resurgent, slaving and raiding across the whole Sea. The Two Sicilies, an ally, has collapsed into corrupt desuetude. Turkey is rumbling in the East, and there is a renewed Russian interest in the old aim of achieving access to warm waters from the Black Sea.

My life is a mess. I run a failing antiques shop, drink way too much coffee, and suffer from an '80s cartoon addiction. So, when a hot-as-hell stranger appears out of nowhere and rips me from my normal life, I don't know whether to be relieved or furious. You see, that hot-as-hell stranger isn't human. He's Fae. And not just any Fae, but King of the Shadow Court, and he claims I hold the key to averting a war between my world and his. But that's not the weirdest thing he's told me. He also says I'm his fated mate.

Think the goddess is just for women? Think again. In The Goddess Remedy, Suzin Green shatters this misconception, revealing how goddess wisdom is essential for everyone—especially now, as patriarchal systems create unprecedented ecological and social upheaval. Drawing on decades as a musician, writer, meditation teacher, and therapist, Green illuminates how the goddess paradigm offers a revolutionary approach to healing our most painful divides: doing vs. being, mind vs. body, and masculine vs. feminine—divisions that keep us out of balance and disconnected from ourselves and the world.

An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, but no one will listen to Circe; they claim her data and theory are wrong. Only Taurus takes her seriously, but she has her doubts a man—even one who calls himself a Zodiac Warrior—can do anything to prevent the disaster. She becomes even more skeptical when he claims they must go on a quest to recreate an ancient artifact. However, with time running out, what other choice does Circe have but to trust the handsome man who shows her magic truly exists?

My first love died in her sleep, and I ask forgiveness every day from a God I struggle to believe in. I write poems in a basement, keep my failures and secrets to myself, and live a life that feels like a lie. A life I owe to a man I barely know. Gibson Hayes is married, wealthy, powerful, and the man who gave me my job when I came to New York. He's the most generous of billionaires and the most mysterious of men.

Ever since I uncovered the truth about my bloodline, everything has gone to hell. My best friend, Bran, has been cursed—trapped inside an artifact by an ancient goddess who refuses to let her go.

Everything ends. I'm just a shapeshifting bush pilot with a knack for survival, but even I know this fight is bigger than me. The gods are making their final move.

When my controlling Bratva uncle planned to marry me off to a man with no mercy, I learned fast that some traps can't be escaped. My one desperate lie forced me into a life I didn't choose.

Axel tried his best to shield me from his brutal, dangerous world. But despite his best efforts, its shadows reached for me. But the storm rolling toward us isn't what shakes me. He is. And how I keep hoping he'll let me in.

Lauren Berlant continues to explore our affective engagement with the world. Berlant focuses on the encounter with and the desire for the bother of other people and objects, showing that to be driven toward attachment is to desire to be inconvenienced. Drawing on sources including Last Tango in Paris, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Claudia Rankine, Christopher Isherwood, Bhanu Kapil, the Occupy movement, and resistance to anti-Black state violence, Berlant poses inconvenience as an affective relation and considers how we might loosen our attachments in ways that allow us to build new forms of life.

It is difficult to ignore the resurgence of white nationalist movements in the United States, many of which employ symbols and slogans from Greco-Roman antiquity. A long-established neo-Nazi website incorporates an image of the Parthenon into its logo, and rioters wore Spartan helmets in the January 6, 2021, attack on the United States Capitol. These juxtapositions may appear incongruous to people who associate the ancient world with enlightened political ideals and sophisticated philosophical inquiry.

Enter Balen, a rising star in the Paladin Order, who stumbles upon Zavrius's struggles and offers to train him. Balen is everything Zavrius isn't: disciplined, unflinching, and steadfastly loyal to his duty. But as the two spend stolen hours together, a bond begins to form.

So, of course, he soon finds himself dragged out of the village and forced to go on an adventure. And why? Is it to look for great wealth, power, or wisdom? Are they searching for the One Bracelet to rule everybody? No, that would make far too much sense. Instead, they set out to find a legendary wine just to give a certain somebody the 'drunkest drunk.'

In 410 CE, Roman rule of Britain collapsed, bringing a centuries-long occupation to an end. A century later, Britain was dividing into two areas with contrasting cultures, an expansive "Anglo-Saxon" south and east, and a shrinking Celtic west and north. How did this transition happen? And why did the customs of the Germanic incomers prevail in England, unlike elsewhere in Europe? In this account, Nicholas J. Higham addresses these questions head on. Higham draws on archaeological evidence and contemporary literature, including the writings of Gildas, to reconsider the accepted narrative.

Hardened by brutality and betrayal, Jason is recruited into a covert task force to stop an insidious coup from toppling Rome from within. Joining him are Mallia, a senator's daughter suffocating in privilege; Argus and Tacitus, ex-legionnaires cast out by the very army they swore to serve; and Severus, a retired general and the Emperor's most trusted ally.

Escapist fantasies usually involve the open road, but Bernd Heinrich's dream was to focus on the riches of one small place—a few green acres along Alder Brook just east of the Presidential Mountains. The year begins as he settles into a cabin with no running water and no electricity, built of hand-cut logs he dragged out of the woods with a team of oxen. There, alone except for his pet raven, Jack, he rediscovers the meaning of peace and quiet and harmony with nature—of days spent not filling out forms, but tracking deer, or listening to the sound of a moth's wings.
