Book excerpt: Private investigator Annabel Brannigan’s mother was a brave Union Spy during the war, so she’s confident she has what it takes to track down her childhood friend Brett McCallum in the wilds of the Arizona Territory and rescue him from whatever trouble drove him to flee his wealthy St. Louis home. Annabel has secretly loved Brett for years and is determined to save him from the ruthless men hunting him out west – but can she save herself from Roy Steele, the rugged, dangerous gunslinger also tracking Brett? When Steele protects her from vicious desperadoes, they’re forced to travel together. Though Annabel has lied and told Steele she’s Brett’s fiancée, she finds herself drawn to the handsome gunslinger against her will. Yet Steele’s heart seems to be made of stone. And he wishes it was. Because Roy Steele is a man of secrets, and a woman slowing him down is the last thing he needs. But he can’t keep the beautiful, courageous Annabel out of his mind – or out of his arms. As danger surrounds them, he wants only two things -- to keep Annabel safe – and to have her for his own…. "A wonderfully exciting romance from the Old West. The plot twists in this novel are handled expertly. . . It's great from start to finish." — Rendezvous "Jill Gregory combines all the drama of a gritty western with the aura of a homespun romance in this beautifully rendered tale. The wonderful characters are sure to win readers' hearts." — Romantic Times

Book excerpt: From one of the most brilliant writers of the twentieth century—a masterpiece of the modern American theater: a play about faith and family, about the gulf between black men and black women and black fathers and black sons. "[Baldwin] uses words as the sea uses waves." —Langston Hughes In his first work for the theater, James Baldwin brought all the fervor and majestic rhetoric of the storefront churches of his childhood along with an unwavering awareness of the price those churches exacted from their worshipers. For years Sister Margaret Alexander has moved her Harlem congregation with a mixture of personal charisma and ferocious piety. But when Margaret's estranged husband, a scapegrace jazz musician, comes home to die, she is in danger of losing both her standing in the church and the son she has tried to keep on the godly path.

Book excerpt: Born into a family of cattlemen on the southern Arizona border at the beginning of the Great Depression, Mikey Summers is raised by people who are wilder than the animals under their care. Maggie, his mother, is quick to love, but also quick to fight, loves contention as much as peace, likes to run and play, but is decent with a fine moral sense. She does hard work as though tapping for a dance, but can be as mean and ill-tempered as she is decent and good. Paul Summers, his father, loves to cowboy, ride broncs, get drunk with Maggie's brothers, be Maggie's husband as long as it is fun, but tries not to get serious about any of it. When Maggie reminds him that he will have to stop running and playing and be responsible, he only grins. As his parents and uncles and their families work and play hard to keep their world from dying of drought, disease, and the Depression, Mikey revels in its fathers, mothers, horses, dirt, dogs, cows, and trees and learns that he must fight his own battles to keep it. Based on J. P. S. Brown's own experiences growing up and ranching in Mexico and Arizona, The World in Pancho's Eye offers an honest and heartfelt portrayal of the life of working cowboys and the love they and their families have for the job.

Book excerpt: A rescued dog returns the favor in the latest Second Chance Romance from USA Today bestselling author of Shelter Me. Detective AJ Parker left undercover work in Atlanta to join a small-town Tennessee police force, hoping for an easier workload and the solitude of his cabin. But the scars left by AJ’s previous work are more difficult to escape than he thought… Mary Hannah Gallo works with the Second Chance Ranch Animal Rescue to train therapy dogs for traumatized patients. It isn’t easy, but her life is under control—until she meets the broodingly sensual AJ, who rattles her composure all the way to her toes. After an assignment confiscating dogs from a backyard breeder reveals a dangerous drug operation, AJ must work with sexy perfectionist Mary Hannah to train an abused rescue dog—a dog now named Holly. While Holly proves to these two very different people that opposites can, in fact, attract, she also knows more than a few explosive secrets that could heal—or divide—the entire town.

Book excerpt: In this remarkable debut novel set in San Diego, 16-year-old Claire thinks she is pregnant and imagines that being a mother would be cool. As spring turns into summer, she learns all about motherhood---especially what it's like being a single mother---and the depths and joys of life resonate around a turquoise, community pool. Claire's mama, Virginia, is HIV positive, way too loud, and on an unusual quest. Claire's boyfriend’s mother, Molly, a poetic soul, has left behind a world of spousal abuse in Seattle. Renata, another mother, is an elegant, New York lawyer who watches her picture-perfect life come undone. And Dorie, a wild would-be writer and young mother, seeks to feel something at whatever cost. Until the unspeakable happens. Like The Joy Luck Club, Waiting to Exhale and How To Make An American Quilt, THE DEEPER, THE BLUER is about the friendship between women, about mothers and daughters, about celebration and loss. It also reveals the aching desire of a teenage girl to save her mother, make sense of her world, to love and be loved. As Claire says, "Real love must be the tightest sucking in of breath, a hold so pure and blue, the deepest blue you can imagine." An unforgettable and moving story from a writer with great promise.

Book excerpt: When Bianca appears late one night at her brother’s house in Santa Ana, she is barely conscious, though not alone. Jubilee, wrapped in a fuzzy pink romper, is buckled into a car seat. Jubilee, who Bianca feeds and clothes and bathes and loves. Jubilee, who Bianca could not leave behind. Jubilee, a doll in her arms. Told in alternating points of view, Jubilee reveals both the haunting power of our lived experiences and the surreal possibility of the present to heal the past. The first thread, “Before Jubilee,” follows Bianca in her girlhood home on the Mexicali border as she struggles with her high school sweetheart, Gabe, and a secret they’ve shared since she was fifteen. The second thread, “With Jubilee,” is told from the point of view of her new love, Joshua, who, along with Bianca’s family, helps her cope with a mysterious trauma by accepting Jubilee as part of the family. As Joshua’s love for Bianca grows, he fears that Jubilee has the power to tear his tiny family apart. Alternating chapters give readers a unique perspective on Bianca’s present and on her relationship with Jubilee as her past life with Gabe comes to a catastrophic end. Jubilee is at once a darkly suspenseful psychological drama and a luminous reflection on how beauty emerges from even the most traumatic of experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boxing. The Sport of Kings. And for every king, there are kingmakers and princes, determined heirs and ruthless pretenders to the throne. Boxers may enter the ring alone, but behind them are their families, many of whom have spent a career in the fight game themselves. And all are caught up in this most beautiful but brutal of sports. Beautiful Brutality is the first book to examine the world of boxing from the perspective of family. With unprecedented access to the likes of the Calzaghes, Mayweathers, Hattons and Khans, Sky Sports boxing expert Adam Smith lays bare the raw emotion at the heart of the sport. How does it feel when your son is taking a pummelling? Can a father make rational judgements from the corner of the ring, in the frenzied atmosphere of a fight? And how much strength does a boxer take from his family, or the family figures that so many trainers and promoters become? Passionate, hard-hitting and with astonishing revelations about the world of boxing, Beautiful Brutality is written from the heart, by an author with a unique knowledge and experience of the fight game.
