But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. They bring the news that a sudden blackout has swept the city. But in this rural area—with the TV and internet now down, and no cell phone service—it’s hard to know what to believe. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple—and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?

Arriving in Montana to find she's been lost in a poker game does little to calm Abbra's fears about spending two entire weeks with a bunch of cowboys. Romance author, Abbra Truelove, finds herself in a predicament when her editor offers a promotion no fan can resist. A promotion that will intentionally thrust Abbra back into rural life while she researches a book she doesn't even want to write. As if to add insult to injury, this insane promotion requires she be a house guest of the winning fan! After one too many bad experiences with rough and rowdy cowboys, Abbra is reluctant to say the least! Clay Benson, son of Abbra's number one fan and loser of last night's poker game, begrudgingly shows up to collect his house guest, expecting to find an older, overweight, unattractive city slicker that talks too much. What he finds is a shapely, gorgeous woman with a sweet side and a past full of secrets. After Abbra steals a horse, is involved in both a shoot out and a fist fight, then goes on to show some fancy footwork following an incident with a faulty bottle of baby oil, Clay finds it necessary to impose a list of rules to keep Abbra safe. When her ex husband show up, Clay faces losing the woman he's come to realize he can't live without and discovers she needs protection from more than just her past.

Now, who he needs to become to win her over is the only thing that matters.

Book Description
In the tradition of authors such as David Sedaris and Ellen DeGeneres, these slice of life stories remind us that even though humans are deeply flawed, we're also pretty funny that way. Kelli Dunham demonstrates that comedy and chaos reign when you combine a great sense of humor with a determination to make bad ideas a fantastic reality. Whether she is hitchhiking across Haiti to help out with disaster relief or volunteering at a convention full of 7,000 screaming Sarah Palin fans, her humorous interpretation of difficult situations is both inspiring and entertaining.

Book Description
One-of-a-kind cultural critic and New York Times bestselling author Chuck Klosterman “offers up great facts, interesting cultural insights, and thought-provoking moral calculations in this look at our love affair with the anti-hero” (New York magazine). Chuck Klosterman, “The Ethicist” for The New York Times Magazine, has walked into the darkness. In I Wear the Black Hat, he questions the modern understanding of villainy. When we classify someone as a bad person, what are we really saying, and why are we so obsessed with saying it? How does the culture of malevolence operate? What was so Machiavellian about Machiavelli? Why don’t we see Bernhard Goetz the same way we see Batman? Who is more worthy of our vitriol—Bill Clinton or Don Henley? What was O.J. Simpson’s second-worst decision? And why is Klosterman still haunted by some kid he knew for one week in 1985? Masterfully blending cultural analysis with self-interrogation and imaginative hypotheticals, I Wear the Black Hat delivers perceptive observations on the complexity of the antihero (seemingly the only kind of hero America still creates). As the Los Angeles Times notes: “By underscoring the contradictory, often knee-jerk ways we encounter the heroes and villains of our culture, Klosterman illustrates the passionate but incomplete computations that have come to define American culture—and maybe even American morality.” I Wear the Black Hat is a rare example of serious criticism that’s instantly accessible and really, really funny.

Book Description
Most anticipated by Book Riot, Her Campus, and San Diego Union Tribune! When falling in love is the punchline... Farley Jones is a loud, chaotic, and hilariously clever standup comedian on the way to stardom. The only thing she loves more than the rush of telling jokes in front of a revved-up audience is her hot older manager Meyer, though he doesn’t have a clue. Keeping her feelings hidden from him is agony (a tragedy, even—in lieu of flowers, please send cash...) but Meyer has been Farley’s closest and most treasured friend, not to mention vital to the trajectory of her career. She can’t risk ruining their relationship by telling him how she truly feels. After all, who else would have the patience to put up with a hot mess like her? A former standup star himself, single father Meyer Harrigan left the stage years ago in order to focus on raising his deaf daughter Hazel. Farley has been everything to them since she came into their lives three years ago, and despite his grumpiness, his protectiveness over Hazel, and his disdain for public attention, Meyer will do anything to make her standup dreams come true. When the biggest opportunity of Farley’s career comes along and forces the pair to fake-date in order to stir up publicity, it doesn't take long for their act to bring all those other funny feelings out into the open. Like most matters of the heart, it quickly begins to feel like anything but a joke. Touching on the creative spirit and all that comes with sharing that gift, Tarah DeWitt's Funny Feelings is a swoony story about friendship, love, and looking for the laugh in life. "Cozy, tender, sexy, hilarious – I adored every word.” —Rachel Lynn Solomon, New York Times bestselling author of The Ex Talk
