Book Description
Welcome to Blossom Ridge, a spinoff to the Surrender series. This resort outside Seattle, Washington, awaits guests who practice a similar lifestyle. It’s a safe place to be yourself…or who you wish to be. Feeling Brave: Juliet For three years I’ve been relying on Aldric. After my parents died, he swooped in to take care of me. It’s not fair to him. I know I’m holding him back. I’m a ballerina, but only in private. I’m also Little…but only in private. My fantasy of Aldric being the Daddy I crave is just that, a fantasy. What if I admit what I really want and I lose him? Aldric With our age difference, I know we have an unconventional relationship. There’s no place I’d rather be than with Juliet. She’s my Little, even if she doesn’t realize it. We live together. I take care of everything for her while she grieves. If this is all I ever get with Juliet, I will take it. She’s mine even though I’ve never told her. I could take a risk and ask for more, but what if I lose her? Embracing Joy: Giana I’m a well-known masochist. I’ve been a member of Surrender for two years. Someone unknown sponsors me. I can barely make ends meet, and I’ve just lost yet another job. When Kendric discovers me living in my car, he takes me home. It’s a horrible idea. I can’t stay with him. He’s a Daddy. I need a sadist in my life. But I’m falling for him, and I don’t have any other place to stay. Kendric I’ve been secretly sponsoring Giana. She’s intriguing, but I’ve never approached her. She’s not Little. I’m not a sadist. At least that’s what I’ve believed for two years. When I find her living in her car, another side of Giana comes out. She submits to me as a Daddy Dom. She thrives, even when I take her to Blossom Ridge. Convincing her she’s my Little is a challenge, and I’m all in. Accepting Love: Hannah I’m deeply Little in my heart. But no one outside Surrender can ever know. In my real life, I have a reputation to uphold. I’m a well-known public persona. The vanilla world wouldn’t understand. When I’m alone, I can be myself. When I’m not, I’m what everyone expects me to be. Zane I’ve had my eye on Hannah for two years. When I’ve asked her out, she’s turned me down. I know she likes me. It’s obvious. I dominate her, but only inside the club walls. It’s against strict policy for me to pressure her. So I wait and watch and hope. And then fate drops me into her space, outside the club…

Book Description
From National Book Award finalist Adele Griffin, an insightful and warmhearted story of two very different women who make an unexpected connection when one decides to carry a baby for the other. At I'll Have Seconds, a high-end fairytale vintage dress shop in Manhattan, Nora Hammond loves nothing better than pairing a rare find with the perfect client. At home, Nora grapples with the bleaker reality of enormous debt, a tiny apartment, and ever-dwindling hope that she and her husband Jacob will have a family of their own. When socialite Evelyn Elliot charges into Nora's life, the women spark an immediate connection, and Nora is jettisoned into the heady whirl of New York's moneyed elite. As Evelyn's stylist and confidante, Nora needs to learn all new rules of engagement for the uber-wealthy. But it isn't until Evelyn decides her next cause is to carry a baby for Nora, that these rules— and this unlikely friendship—are tested. A contemporary story that celebrates alternative routes to family, The Favor is an incisive examination of what it means to long for a child and what relationships cost us—and what they're worth.

Book Description
The Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition includes an exclusive afterword, a conversation with the author, and a book club discussion guide. The Daughters of Madurai is both a heartrending family story and a page-turning mystery about the secrets we must keep to protect those we love. Madurai, 1992. A young mother in a poor family, Janani is told she is useless if she can’t produce a son—or worse, if she bears daughters. They let her keep her first baby girl, but the rest are taken away as soon as they are born and murdered. But Janani can’t forget the daughters she was never allowed to love. Sydney, 2019. Nila has a secret; one she’s been keeping from her parents for too long. Before she can say anything, her grandfather in India falls ill and she agrees to join her parents on a trip to Madurai. Nila knows very little about where her family came from or who they left behind. What she’s about to learn will change her forever. While The Daughters of Madurai explores the harrowing issue of female infanticide, it’s also a universal story about the bond between mothers and daughters, the strength of women, and the power of love in overcoming all obstacles.
