Book excerpt: In this collection of erotic vampire tales from authors Northwestern and Northwestern at heart, the creatures range from classic to alien, from dom to sub, from blood-drinking to soul-sucking. In Jeff Mann's "Summer Solstice Sacrifice," a burly, kilted vampire faces losing a lover or turning him before it's too late. Colleen Anderson's "Hold Back the Night" explores how cultural norms divide two very different women in Mumbai--one of them undead. A male vampire watches his wife solve his murder in Joscelyne Gray's "The Longest Death of the Year." And Sara Dobie Bauer in "Forever Dead" brings us a muscular, vamp-hunting detective with an uncomfortable hankering for a blood-sucking guy. Whatever your sexual orientation, you'll find something here for you.

Book excerpt: *INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER* *INSTANT #1 INDIE BESTSELLER* From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks... For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures. But then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train. Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all. Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time.

Selena Kitt’s *Girls Only*—where the girls get naughty together, but it feels oh, so good! Jaime, a mother with newborn twins, feels overwhelmed until she finds the local Mommy and Me group. She and Caroline hit it off right away, both single mothers with young children. When the group organizes a dinner and karaoke night, Jaime and Caroline jump at the chance for a break, pooling their money for a babysitter. But Jaime doesn’t plan on how difficult—and physically painful—the night might be without her two nurslings and no breast pump in sight. Determined to stay out and have fun, Jaime enlists Caroline’s help, and together the two women not only save their night out, they discover one more delicious thing they have in common!

Open up.” The lock slid over and the door swung open, revealing a dejected Jaime sitting fully clothed on the toilet, stuffing folded paper towels into her bra. Caroline’s heart melted. If only she hadn’t forgotten the damned pump! “I’m leaking like crazy. It’s killing me! They’re so tender!” Jaime wailed, pulling a wad of paper towel out. It was literally dripping with milk. “What am I going to do? I don’t want to have to go home.” “I know, hon, me neither.” Caroline cocked her head, frowning as she watched Jaime reach for toilet paper, wadding it up in her hand. Caroline stopped her. “Wait.” Jaime looked up, quizzical. “You got a better idea?” “I actually do.” Caroline took her friend’s hands, pulling her to her feet. Their eyes locked and Caroline felt a flutter of excitement and anxiety in her belly. “Do you trust me?” “Yeahhhh…” Jaime’s face told a different story, but she allowed Caroline to move around her, the women trading places, Caroline sitting and Jaime standing. “Okay, close your eyes,” Caroline instructed. “What?” “Trust me.” She was drunk, she knew it—and maybe, she decided, she could use that as an excuse later. She’d done a lot of things that seemed like a good idea at the time when she was drunk, things she had simply wanted to do but hadn’t the courage. This, she decided, was one of those situations where she might say she was remorseful later and blame it on the margaritas—but in her heart, she knew she wouldn’t really regret it for a minute. “Okay.” Jaime sighed, closing her eyes and shaking her blonde head as Caroline began to lift her friend’s shirt up over her belly. “What are you—?” “Shh!” Caroline chided, pulling Jaime’s shirt off and gently freeing her heavy breasts from her sports bra. “Keep them closed.” Jaime was nude from the waist up now, wearing just a black mini and heels, and she was shivering. Her nipples were hard and beads of milky-white fluid gathered at the tips, falling in fat droplets to the bathroom floor. Caroline took in the breathless sight of her briefly before cupping one of her friend’s breasts in her hands and beginning to suckle. “Caroline! No! Oh my god! No! What…?” Caroline didn’t let up, suckling hard, swallowing deeply. She hadn’t given any thought to how breast milk and margaritas were going to mix, but Jaime’s milk was sweet and went down like cream. Jaime’s hands went to Caroline’s hair, at first attempting to push her off, her thin, lithe body squirming against the side of the bathroom stall as if she could wiggle away. “Nooo!” Jaime wailed, but Caroline watched her friend’s face, seeing the immediate relief there. “Oh… oh… that’s… that’s so much better already!” Keywords: Lesbian romance, Steamy Romance, Virgin, Erotic Sex Stories, Barely Legal, First Time, Erotica

Book excerpt: “This moving and deeply fulfilling romance marks the launch of a very promising series.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review (on New Ink on Life) Sometimes everything you shouldn’t want is exactly what you need. Tattoo artist Jamie Winston is used to caring for others. Between her assistant manager position at a tattoo parlor, single-parenting her twelve-year-old daughter, and supporting her alcoholic parents, Jamie rarely prioritizes her own needs—unless Sierra Clark is in her chair. The bubbly, younger woman somehow manages to make Jamie feel like the carefree teenager she never got to be, making anything seem possible. For Sierra, time with Jamie is a much-needed escape. She takes her work as a social worker seriously, but with budget cuts threatening her job, there’s a lot riding on the fundraiser she’s planning with Jamie. The fact that it means working closely with the sexy, older tattooist is a bonus—a deliciously tempting bonus. Sierra isn’t one for relationships, but she’s never felt such a strong desire to mix business with pleasure. Sizzling chemistry quickly erodes Jamie’s fears of being too old for Sierra, but navigating a romance with someone who’s at such a different stage in life is no easy task. They’ve each come to rely on themselves more than anyone else, but having a future together will mean letting their guards down, and accepting each other as a safe place to fall. This book is approximately 85,000 words One-click with confidence. This title is part of the Carina Press Romance Promise: all the romance you’re looking for with an HEA/HFN. It’s a promise!

Mouths of Rain, the companion anthology to Beverly Guy-Sheftall's classic Words of Fire, traces the long history of intellectual thought produced by Black Lesbian writers, spanning the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century. Using “Black Lesbian” as a capacious signifier, Mouths of Rain includes writing by Black women who have shared intimate and loving relationships with other women, as well as Black women who see bonding as mutual, Black women who have self-identified as lesbian, Black women who have written about Black Lesbians, and Black women who theorize about and see the word lesbian as a political descriptor that disrupts and critiques capitalism, heterosexism, and heteropatriarchy. Taking its title from a poem by Audre Lorde, Mouths of Rain addresses pervasive issues such as misogynoir and anti-blackness while also attending to love, romance, “coming out,” and the erotic. Contributors include: Barbara Smith Beverly Smith Bettina Love Dionne Brand Cheryl Clarke Cathy J.

Book excerpt: A Sunday Times Bestseller! A 2022 Alex Award Winner! “Sparks fly” (NPR) in Everina Maxwell’s gut-wrenching and romantic space opera debut. Prince Kiem, a famously disappointing minor royal and the Emperor's least favorite grandchild, has been called upon to be useful for once. He's commanded to fulfill an obligation of marriage to the representative of the Empire's newest and most rebellious vassal planet. His future husband, Count Jainan, is a widower and murder suspect. Neither wants to be wed, but with a conspiracy unfolding around them and the fate of the empire at stake they will have to navigate the thorns and barbs of court intrigue, the machinations of war, and the long shadows of Jainan's past, and they'll have to do it together. So begins a legendary love story amid the stars. Like Ancillary Justice meets Red, White and Royal Blue, Winter’s Orbit is perfect for fans of Lois McMaster Bujold. “High-pitched noises escaped me; I shouted, more than once, 'Now kiss!' ... in a world so relentlessly uncertain, there’s a powerfully simple pleasure in the experience of a promise kept.” —The New York Times Book Review At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book-length work of its kind, In Transition: Young Adult Literature and Transgender Representation examines the shift in the young adult book market towards increased representation of transgender characters and authors. Through a comprehensive exploration of historical conventions, genres, character diversity, and ideologies of trans representation, Emily Corbett traces the roots of trans literature from its beginnings in a cisgender-dominated publishing world to the recent rise in trans creators, characters, and implied readers. Corbett describes how trans-ness was initially perceived as an issue to be overcome by cisgender authors and highlights the ways in which the market has changed. Through careful analysis of texts that have until now received little scholarly attention, Corbett weaves together different theoretical approaches and fields of study to provide a map of the textual and cultural histories of this twenty-first-century publishing phenomenon. Focusing on trans authorship, authentic storytelling, and intersectional diversity, this book charts changing public attitudes, the YA book market, and the unique sociocultural moment in which these books are published. In Transition contributes new perspectives on the intersections of adolescence and trans-ness and sheds light on a dynamic subset of YA literature that has yet to receive sustained analysis.

These consequences come with the dawn of a passion she didn’t know existed, a carnal feast of flesh she can’t get enough of. But on the night she gains the ultimate satisfaction from the woman she’d always wanted, she also loses every good thing she ever had. This loss takes Ny from the shelter of her family and home to the unknown wilds of a new world flush with ancient power, and into the arms of an old lover who has always been by her side.

Book excerpt: “Extraordinary...beautifully precise...[an] earnestly ambitious debut.” —The New York Times Book Review “A wild, angry, and devastating masterpiece of a book.” —NPR “[A] descendent of the Dickensian ‘social novel’ by way of Jonathan Franzen: epic fiction that lays bare contemporary culture clashes, showing us who we are and how we got here.” —O, The Oprah Magazine “A book that has stayed with me ever since I put it down.” —Seth Meyers, host of Late Night with Seth Meyers One sweltering night in 2013, four former high school classmates converge on their hometown in northeastern Ohio. There’s Bill Ashcraft, a passionate, drug-abusing young activist whose flailing ambitions have taken him from Cambodia to Zuccotti Park to post-BP New Orleans, and now back home with a mysterious package strapped to the undercarriage of his truck; Stacey Moore, a doctoral candidate reluctantly confronting her family and the mother of her best friend and first love, whose disappearance spurs the mystery at the heart of the novel; Dan Eaton, a shy veteran of three tours in Iraq, home for a dinner date with the high school sweetheart he’s tried desperately to forget; and the beautiful, fragile Tina Ross, whose rendezvous with the washed-up captain of the football team triggers the novel’s shocking climax. Set over the course of a single evening, Ohio toggles between the perspectives of these unforgettable characters as they unearth dark secrets, revisit old regrets and uncover—and compound—bitter betrayals. Before the evening is through, these narratives converge masterfully to reveal a mystery so dark and shocking it will take your breath away.
