She never asked to be summoned to Heaven's Gate and never expected to be charged with the stubbornly attractive angel Nicholas as her partner. Though, with a face like his to look at, Dani isn't about to complain. The lines between good and evil are shifting. Dani discovers that, lurking in her familiar darkness, are secrets she would never have guessed at and doesn't understand. Now she must ask herself, who is a demon supposed to trust?<p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">He'll have to join forces with the last entity he expected... but sometimes true loyalty lies in the most unexpected places.<p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">Nicholas is a sentry angel yet to see actual combat, so it comes as a surprise when he's summoned by the highest angelic executive. The bigger shock is being forced to rally together with an alluring demon he can't get out of his head. But as allegiances are tested, Nicholas discovers a lot is hiding between the boundaries of good and evil. Side by side, Nicholas and Dani must fight the unknown... in whatever form it takes.

She was supposed to be a big-time journalist, instead, she's living in her parent's basement at 28. She can track everything that's gone wrong back to the one time she didn't follow her 10-year life plan. When she fake-dated the new-in-town bad boy, Dennis Summers. And it didn't end like the movies.</div><div dir="auto" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#242424;text-transform:none;line-height:inherit;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web (West European)', 'Segoe UI', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">Just when Olivia's getting back on track to follow her dreams, Dennis comes back to town.

So what if he confessed he had feelings for her back then? So what if everyone constantly asks when they're getting back together? So what if when Dennis tries to open a shop, the owner says she only rents to folks with strong connections to the town so he says he's dating Olivia? So what if they have to fake date again? Oliva's got the perfect plan to achieve her dreams. And nothing, not even a charming, grumbly man is going to change her mind.</div><div dir="auto" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#242424;text-transform:none;line-height:inherit;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web (West European)', 'Segoe UI', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"></div><div dir="auto" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#242424;text-transform:none;line-height:inherit;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web (West European)', 'Segoe UI', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">STRIKE TO BURN</div><div dir="auto" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#242424;text-transform:none;line-height:inherit;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web (West European)', 'Segoe UI', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"></div><div dir="auto" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#242424;text-transform:none;line-height:inherit;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web (West European)', 'Segoe UI', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">Zoey Riggs had her suspicions about her high school sweetheart.

Instead, he took the street view car out for a cross-country road trip to fill in their dead spaces. But one deer in his headlights and the car is wrecked. And what do you do when you've had a shit day? You get drunk at the restaurant next door to the mechanic, Zoey's shop.</div><div dir="auto" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#242424;text-transform:none;line-height:inherit;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web (West European)', 'Segoe UI', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">With nowhere else to put her new, drunk client, Zoey lets Stephen crash at her place. And when her ex shows up the next morning, Stephen tries to help out. By pretending to be her boyfriend. And that sparks an idea. Zoey promises to get her revenge by making her ex's life a living hell, beating him at a drag race, and rubbing her new (fake) man in his face. And Stephen happily tags along, whether it's a road trip in a stolen car, breaking into the newspaper office, or tagging the whole town with scandalous bumper stickers.</div><div dir="auto" style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#242424;text-transform:none;line-height:inherit;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web (West European)', 'Segoe UI', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;font-size:15px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">But the fun can only last for so long.

Yes, b*tch! Fat with ideas, inspiration, and the power to do what you've always talked about.<p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">We've all been through some sh*t, and in 2016, Nikki never expected her world to turn upside down from divorce. Yes, the scarlet letter "D" some are too familiar with. After the countless sympathies and questions of the future, she decided to do something about it; live the life she saw for herself. The evolution of sh*tty new boyfriends to ex-boyfriends and roadblocks felt never-ending as she learned to do everything independently. But then she figured out how to conquer the biggest elephant in the room: herself.<p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">What felt like a forced restart pushed Nikki toward the transformation she needed to just get over it already, seriously. This hilariously transparent, witty self-help guide, "Does This Divorce Make Me Look Fat?" is sure to help you do three things: laugh, learn, and move the f*ck on.<p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">Please note: This book can be used for any crisis, not just divorce.

We are very excited to host Josue during National Poetry Month and hope you stop by to say hello!About Rosita: Little Rose:<p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">When people read my poetry, a popular question they have is, "Who is Rosita?" Rosita is a moniker I made for the person who inspired me to originally start writing poetry. In Spanish, rosita means little rose. Today, Rosita has become much more than an individual. If I were to give a name to my poetry as a whole or entirety, then I've named her Rosita. This poetry book focuses on various subjects such as love, creativity, equality, heartbreak, grief, and depression. I've had my fair share of experiences with each one of these subjects, and I hope these pages convey the knowledge and wisdom to readers that I have learned. So who is Rosita, you ask? Rosita is my muse, my dreams, my everything.<p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;"><p style="outline:0px;text-align:left;color:#000000;text-transform:none;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:Lato, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:1rem;word-spacing:0px;white-space:normal;box-sizing:border-box;orphans:2;widows:2;background-color:#ffffff;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;">And I hope she can be an inspiration to you as well.

Elizabeth, a twenty-four-year-old interior designer living in Brooklyn, New York, encounters a little more than mental static when she sits down for her morning meditation, feeling disconnected from herself and her reality. As she meditates, she forces herself to confront her inner demons head on-including the darker parts that she would rather keep hidden from others, like her boyfriend, Adam. Her inner conflict leads her down a rabbit hole that is far different from the one she remembers from her favorite childhood story. When Elizabeth reaches the bottom of the rabbit hole, she follows a shadowy figure in a familiar blue dress who taunts her and coaxes her deeper into Wonderland. Unable to release herself from her meditation, Elizabeth chases Alice through Wonderland, guided by clues left by Alice, as well as the dark and strangely familiar characters she meets, like the Cheshire Cat, the Tweedle twins, and the Mad Hatter. In Wonderland, Elizabeth comes face to face with her inner light and darkness, and, finally, Alice-and discovers that Alice's secret might be what she has been searching for all along.
