Quiet Ones


QuinnI've always had too many men in my life. My father, brothers, and nephews. They run this town, and although I've never given them a reason to worry, they treat me like I'm made of glass. They're wrong, though. I've got it all together - college graduated by twenty-one and a business owner with a perfect record. But I have one secret: I raced to grow up in case he ever came home. Lucas Morrow grew up with us, but he left when I was thirteen. I've waited and worked to be sure everything is perfect when I see him again. But I've waited years and maybe it's time to move on, get my own place and be my own person with new friends. It's summer after all and I am my brothers' sister. Did they really think the apple fell that fa? ucasShe thinks her family are the only men watching her. So innocent. And I want to keep her that way. Even though I'm twelve years older, we were always the odd ones out.. She gravitated to me, and I always made sure she wasn't alone. When I left, I told myself she'd be fine without me. But really, it was just an excuse to escape the guilt. I only meant to come back for a few days, but she's grown up, her brothers are distracted, and one bad decision after another is circling her. As well as old ghosts. And old enemies. She doesn't want a babysitter anymore, and if she ever finds out why I left town, she'll know why I'm not the best role model. But I'm still the older one. And she still needs supervision.

Songs of Expectation


This novel is inspired by a true story. London, 1881, and another party of child migrants sets sail for Canada, leaving behind all they know in search of a new life. Taken from the slums and workhouses of Britain, they are set to work as labourers and servants, building a nation in a foreign land. Among them is Mary Oliver, desperate to fulfil a promise she made to her dying father; Arthur Dilkes, to whom emigration is just another adventure; Sam Barney, who longs for a new family to replace the one he has lost; Margaret Walsh, who cannot forget the father she has left behind; and Lily, who does not even have a surname to call her own. All are unprepared for the prejudice and hostility they will face, and the obstacles they must overcome. All struggle to escape their pasts. Presiding over them and countless others is Alice Hamilton, obsessed with making her mark in a man’s world, whose mission to ‘save’ these children is called into question by a series of tragic events. A story of heartbreak and courage, Songs of Expectation shines a light on a shameful chapter in British history.

An Accident of Dragons: Deluxe Stenciled Edges


An unlikely lord finally meets a problem he can't flirt his way out of in this adventurous and slyly light-hearted queer cozy fantasy featuring pirates, dragons, kidnapping, tea, and other high-fantasy delights for readers of Rebecca Thorne, TJ Klune, Sarah Beth Durst, and Travis Baldree. Deluxe Limited Edition Paperback with Stenciled Edges! In theory, the dragoness of Summer can make any resident on her island the ruler, if the previous Lord Summer is so careless as to die without an heir. In practice, absolutely no one expected her to choose Teddy, the last lord's middle-aged fancy man. With his quick wit, heaps of charisma, and excellent dress sense, Teddy brings plenty of virtues to his new role, but statecraft, pedigree, and decorum are not among them. That's all right: he's done his duty to the island, and his five-year-old daughter, Zinnia, will make a brilliant Lady Summer when her time comes. Except when a ship of desperate mainlander thieves arrives, Zinnia's caught in the fracas and taken hostage. Teddy jumps into the rescue mission without delay, even though his days of adventures on the mainland are long buried with his lover. But his sailors have never seen their destination, and worse, the hard-liner admiral who leads them thinks Teddy's a worthless dandy. Against a conniving robber baron, a sorceress who's tamed her own dragon, and ordinary people with everything to lose, the crew faces terrible odds. But with all he loves in danger, Teddy must prove there's more to him than he'd ever intended to show.
