The Pucking Wrong Number meets Pucking Around in this spicy hockey romance where one girl becomes the obsession of three university hockey players.

I only have one shot to make a life for myself, and more than just my future is on the line. My baby brother is still back in the dump I escaped from, still living in a house of cigarette butts stuffed in beer cans and slurred arguments. So now that I’ve gotten to Sovereign Kings University, I have to make it worth it. I’ll keep my eyes down, ignore the rich kids’ taunts, and graduate.

At least that was my plan before I busted the knee of a hockey player. Having possibly ruined the team’s chance of a championship, I’m now the target of the players. The golden boy captain, Alexander, is the ringleader of the popular students. Every day Kane—the tall, dark and perpetually pissed-off defense—finds a way to humiliate me. Yet, being painfully ignored by the huge, reserved goalie they call Mountain may just hurt the most.

When the players aren’t making my life a living hell, these three are twisting me up inside with desire and glimpses of the real them. But can I risk losing my heart to one hockey player—let alone all three? I’m certainly in for a long, hard season.

A brilliant, feminist retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s evergreen classic, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, in which a woman gives in to the murderous and sensual force that awakens within her as she battles breast cancer.

Rosy Winter is dying.  Her husband, Charlie—sweet but out of his depth—tries to be supportive. Her sister-in-law, Sally, is too distracted by her own problems to help. Her students, once a source of delight, are now a daily reminder of Rosy’s mortality. So, Rosy succumbs to anguish, allowing a force—murderous, sensual, feverish—to awaken and stir within her. An embodiment of her rage, a twisted joie de vivre, ripping recompense from the world around her.  

A powerful feminist retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Gothic classic, Mrs. Jekyll is a brilliant, evocative, and lyrical story of one woman’s refusal to yield her passion for life, even as her body betrays her.

A business anthropologist reveals how cultural intelligence is the essential tool for understanding human behavior.

“Filled with illuminating case studies, this is a stimulating examination of the hidden influences that guide people’s actions.” ―Publishers Weekly

Why do people do what we do? To answer this question, many of us turn to psychology. But it’s not enough to understand how we think. We also have to recognize the influence of where and how we live. From the ways we bring up children and welcome guests, to the products we buy and how we spend our free time, our culture creates who we are.

Trailblazing anthropologist Oliver Sweet has spent decades using cultural insights to help businesses, governments, and NGOs achieve their goals—whether he’s working with the Gates Foundation to encourage South African men to get HIV tests or helping a pet food company break into a new market in Brazil. Now, in The Rules That Make Us, Sweet shows us how to strengthen our own cultural intelligence. Drawing on research conducted in thirty-five countries, he maps culture’s hidden rules: how it governs our behavior and creates our assumptions, how it’s shaped by technology, and even how it can help us predict the future. This book is an indispensable guide to an essential new way of understanding our families and colleagues, our customers and constituents, ourselves and our world.

A USA Today Bestseller, The Navigator’s Letter brings to light one of the best untold and dangerous stories of World War II, chronicling a moving and heroic story of patriotic duty, familial bonds, brotherhood, and love.

One of the riskiest air raids of World War II occurred on August 1, 1943, over the oil fields at Ploesti, Romania—Nazi Germany’s primary fuel source. The Allies believed that the destruction of Hitler’s oil refineries would shorten the war. Using an untested strategy, it was worth the gamble, but the mission did not go according to plan—with 53 aircraft and 532 crewmen lost, it was the costliest US air raid of the war.

A true story, The Navigator’s Letter is a tale of uncanny coincidences: two friends from the same small Illinois town; both joined the Air Corps; both became navigators; both were assigned to B-24 Liberators; both flew missions over Europe; both of their planes were forced down over Ploesti; and both went missing-in-action.

Intertwined with events of WWII, the story follows the two B-24 navigators coursing through wartime, both with ties to the same woman. Their lives unfurl with the Air Force’s darkest day, Operation Tidal Wave. It was the first-ever zero-altitude air raid followed by multIple high altitude rads culminating in Operation Reunion, the largest evacuation by air in history with the Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd Fighter Group flying escort repatriating 1,162 POWs from Romania back to American air bases in Italy.

An unvarnished and immersive dive into the world of conspiracy theories, propaganda, and disinformation from a former Infowars insider caught in the orbit of Alex Jones’s madness.   
 
At twenty-four-years old, Josh Owens dropped out of film school when a job offer arrived from the very world that had already begun to warp his sense of reality. After years of being pulled in by Alex Jones’s magnetic persona and anti-establishment defiance, he’d become entangled in a universe built on suspicion, spectacle, and carefully manufactured lies. When the call came, he packed up his life and moved halfway across the country, setting off on a journey that would unravel everything he thought he believed.
 
The Madness of Believing follows Josh’s experience working at Infowars, where he became one of Jones’s most trusted employees. He began traveling across the world creating “news” stories, staging chaos, and spreading outright lies to Infowars’s ever-growing audience. As he rose through the ranks, his skepticism grew, and Josh underwent a personal transformation just as Infowars too changed from a fringe community to a mainstream disinformation machine.  
 
Josh’s story is one playing out across America: that of impressionable young people pulled into a dangerous world where reality and fiction are blurred, and extremist beliefs gain steam. The Madness of Believing is a reckoning with this climate, one that provides riveting insight into these supposedly radical, truth-driven organizations while exposing their dangerous rhetoric and lies.
