Book Description
That's the thing about hearts- Like waves, they break too. Grief. I've never battled with the raw, debilitating pain that comes with it. Then a twist of fate hits me out of nowhere, and I can barely keep from drowning. It's like weights tied to my ankles in the middle of a raging ocean. I'm helpless, with no way to swim back to the surface. But fate is crueler still, bringing my stepbrother back for the first time in years. Cannon never wanted this family. Especially me. Still, he's always been my greatest desire. And my biggest weakness. He's unattainable. Straight, engaged, and with a seemingly perfect life on the other side of the country. It's something I'd do well to remember, yet when he stays, it's so easy to forget. In finding solace together, we mend what once was broken. This loss bonds us. Changes us. He's become more than a brother or a lover. He's my anchor. So how am I supposed to keep my head above water when I'll eventually lose him too? *Head Above Water is a STANDALONE full length MM enemies-to-lovers stepbrother romance novel.*

El Chapo
Author: Noah Hurowitz
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982133767
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
A stunning investigation of the life and legend of Mexican kingpin Joaquín Archivaldo “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera, building on Noah Hurowitz’s revelatory coverage for Rolling Stone of El Chapo’s federal drug-trafficking trial. This is the true story of how El Chapo built the world’s wealthiest and most powerful drug-trafficking operation, based on months’ worth of trial testimony and dozens of interviews with cartel gunmen, Mexican journalists and political figures, Chapo’s family members, and the DEA agents who brought him down. Over the course of three decades, El Chapo was responsible for smuggling hundreds of tons of cocaine, marijuana, heroin, meth, and fentanyl around the world, becoming in the process the most celebrated and reviled drug lord since Pablo Escobar. El Chapo waged ruthless wars against his rivals and former allies, plunging vast areas of Mexico into unprecedented levels of violence, even as many in his home state of Sinaloa continued to view him as a hero. This unputdownable book, written by a great new talent, brings El Chapo’s exploits into a focus that previous profiles have failed to capture. Hurowitz digs in deep beyond the legends and delves into El Chapo’s life and legacy—not just the hunt for him, revealing some of the most dramatic and often horrifying moments of his notorious career, including the infamous prison escapes, brutal murders, multi-million-dollar government payoffs, and the paranoia and narcissism that led to his downfall. From the evolution of organized crime in Mexico to the militarization of the drug war to the devastation wrought on both sides of the border by the introduction of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, this book is a gripping and comprehensive work of investigative, on-the-ground reporting.

Book Description
An unforgettable novel from the New York Times bestseller Gordon Korman Link, Michael, and Dana live in a quiet town. But it's woken up very quickly when someone sneaks into school and vandalizes it with a swastika. Nobody can believe it. How could such a symbol of hate end up in the middle of their school?

And because Dana's the only Jewish girl in the whole town, everyone's treating her more like an outsider than ever. The mystery deepens as more swastikas begin to appear.
