Boots Beneath Her Bed
Grace Underwood has been keeping a dark secret from the day her parents died. Only her ruthless uncle Bellamy knows the truth, and he’s been using it against her ever since.
When his cruelty pushes her too far, Grace decides to walk away from her family for good and take a job as a horse trainer at Halcyon Ranch. It’s a chance to start over. That is, if the owner’s son, Crew Caldwell, doesn’t stand in her way.
Crew doesn’t trust outsiders, especially one from Bellamy's bloodline. But Grace's undeniable gift with horses slowly wins over the other ranch hands and even Crew - the one man she shouldn’t want but can’t seem to ignore.
As the tension between them grows, so does the risk of Grace’s secret unravelling. And with her uncle's threats still looming, she’ll have to decide whether she’s willing to fight for the only place - and the only man - that’s ever felt like home.

Queer Art (Art Essentials)
A concise, accessible and global overview of modern and contemporary queer art, co-written by notable curators in the field.
Queer Art is a commanding compendium of LGBTQIA+ art that highlights its ongoing resilience from the 19th century to the present day. Spanning generations and geographies, Queer Art's carefully curated selection of practitioners paints a rich picture of LGBTQIA+ visual culture, underscoring the complexity of lived experience and cutting through the basic understanding of the subject that seeks to measure 'queerness' against overt homoeroticism and proven homosexuality.
Queer art curators Mollie E. Barnes and Gemma Rolls-Bentley begin by exploring how resilience has shaped artistic expression, establishing the historical backdrop against which queer art has evolved. From liberation to intersectionality, reclamation to futurism, four thematic chapters unpack the key concerns of queer art as they relate to the work of artists such as Keith Haring, Bhupen Khakhar, Hélio Oiticica, Catherine Opie, Lotte Laserstein and Xiyadie. By exploring the notion of 'queer art' through the lens of both historical figures and contemporary practitioners, Queer Art adopts a dual focus, traversing the past and present to reflect on covert histories whilst imagining radical futures in which art not only reflects but shapes social norms.
How to Get Rich the American Way
How to Get Rich the American Way is based on years of in-depth research by a contrarian academic who become rich himself while developing the book's theories, learning the history of real estate investing, stock trading, get-rich-quick schemes, and financial gurus.
From Nigerian prince scams to the investment manuals of housewives, from the destruction of African Americans' savings in the Freedman's Bank to the surprisingly long history of failing to teach children about money, and from the wit of Benjamin Franklin to the fraud of $0 down real estate infomercials, How to Get Rich the American Way brings an eclectic set of stories to bear on the financial destinies of everyday people. Each chapter includes anecdotes from the author's economic journey, including tales of wild investment ideas, get-rich-quick seminars, and his decade long-quest to apply the lessons of history to his own finances. By the end, to his own very great surprise, he is now a multi-millionaire.
Accessibly written with short, punchy chapters, the book is a thoughtful, realistic, and ultimately encouraging read on the prospects of getting by and getting ahead.

The Odyssey
With his Odyssey, best-selling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike - a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles.
Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualities - meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance - and in so doing restores to Homer's master work its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer's verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original.
The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer's work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn's Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.

The Lady Killer
A dizzying tale of lust and murder in the shady world of Tokyo's cabaret bars, from one of Japan's greatest mystery writers-now with a striking new cover design.
"An outstanding puzzle mystery." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
A hunter prowls the night spots of Shinjuku.
But he's the one walking into a trap...
Ichiro Honda leads a double life. By day, he is a devoted husband and a diligent worker, but bynight, he moves through the shadow world of Tokyo's cabaret bars and nightclubs in search of vulnerable women to seduce, and then abandon.
While Ichiro meticulously documents these encounters in his diary, the daily newspaper reports of local murders seem to throw up a disturbing pattern.
A trail of bodies is appearing in his wake, so it seems. First Keiko Obana, a typist, jumps from a second floor window. Then others start to follow: a supermarket cashier strangled in her apartment in Kinshibori. A girl he picked up about two months ago at a dance hall in Koto Rakutenchi, is found murdered in the same gruesome way. The hunter becomes the prey and Ichiro realises he has been caught in a snare.
As the trap closes around him, even Ichiro begins to doubt his innocence. Can he find the real killer before it's too late, and - more importantly - will anyone believe him?
From the beloved Japanese mystery author of The Master Key, this gorgeously redesigned paperback of his cult classic thriller will keep fans old and new guessing until the very end.

Meet Me at the Seaside Cottages
EVERYONE IS SEARCHING FOR THEIR PERFECT HOUSE. BUT HOME IS REALLY WHERE THE HEART IS ...??
Janey Carter has a lot to be grateful for - a home by the sea in Carso that she renovated herself, a job as an audiologist that she loves, two great kids, and a network of kind and supportive friends. But since her husband left, her confidence has taken a nosedive. And then, out of the blue, her grumpy 30-year-old daughter announces she's moving back home. Janey loves Essie dearly but they only just made it out alive from her adolescence. And this really is going to cramp her soon-to-be-rediscovered dating style.
Yes, Essie Carter is grumpy but she's just lost her job, she can't afford her rent in Edinburgh and her boyfriend isn't ready to commit. There's nothing for it but to admit defeat and hope the sea air soothes her soul. Life seems to be punching this millennial squarely in the face.
Living back under the same roof brings its challenges. But a combination of rescue dogs, pub quizzes and a surprise project doing up the unloved Seagate Cottages next door slowly brings mother and daughter closer together. Meanwhile, the steady stream of people coming past the house with fabric swatches and paint brings revelations for Essie, and offers Janey a surprise second chance at love as well.
