Each precious thing I show you in this book is a holy relic from the night we both perished-the night when I combed you from my hair and watered the moon with your blood.

You've lost a lot of blood . . .

Everyone says there's no place like home... well not for me.

When I'm forced to spend the holidays at home with my family in Strawberry Hollow, I have no idea how I'm even going to survive the week, let alone make it through my least favorite holiday... Christmas.

That is until I run into my childhood crush, and my brother's best friend, Parker Grant.

Now, he's the sexy, off-limits doctor in our small town, and nothing like the man I left behind six years ago.

While I hate the holidays, there is nothing that he loves more.

Well, other than a good bet.

Which is exactly what happens when we end up together under the mistletoe.

A bet that changes everything.

He asks for the next seven days to change my mind about Christmas.

But seven days alone with Parker is more than either of us bargained for.

Now, there's much more at stake than a silly mistletoe bet.

The Mistletoe Bet is a complete standalone Christmas novella with lots of banter, even more laughter and a heartwarming HEA.

The proposal was simple: Score a homerun and take my virginity.

Except, my proposal went to the wrong brother.

It was supposed to go to my best friend, but as fate would have it, it fell into the hands of his infuriatingly hot, irritatingly charming older brother.

Lane Collins is Orleans University's All-Star baseball captain.

Cocky pitcher. Player on and off the field. The life of every party.

And the same guy I've crushed on in secret since we were kids.

He's always been out of my league.

That is until he signs the dotted line on a proposal that wasn't meant for him, and offers to teach me... everything.

The one and only condition?

We walk away once everything's checked off.

Easier said than done when my heart is involved.

Now, it's a whole new ballgame.

The Long Transition Towards Socialism and the End of Capitalism is the latest work from renowned revolutionary Torkil Lauesen, whose decades of activism and scholarship have made him a leading voice in global anti-imperialist movements. Drawing on his deep involvement in revolutionary struggles, Lauesen offers a comprehensive analysis of socialism's long, unfolding transition. By examining pivotal moments-from the 1848 revolutions to China's market reforms-Lauesen reframes these struggles not as isolated failures but as integral steps in the global shift away from the capitalist world-system. For those committed to socialist theory and anti-imperialism, The Long Transition provides essential insights into how the decline of capitalism and the rise of a global counter-hegemonies offer new opportunities for socialist transformation.

Another remarkable work from Torkil Lauesen. At a time when capitalism spells the doom of man and nature, this book addresses the difficulties and necessity of socialist transformation. Its message is that the fight for universal emancipation is long, yet delay is a crime. Essential reading to anyone wishing to understand the ascent of socialism and socialist thought. Its incisive examination of the history of imperialist aggression against states that adopt socialist principles covers areas rarely discussed in the mainstream.

-Ali Kadri, Sun Yatsen University, PRC

Torkil Lauesen's The Long Transition Towards Socialism and the End of Capitalism is a profound exploration of the global and historical dynamics of the past 150 years of the trajectory of socialism. Employing a historical materialist framework, the book challenges the reductionist 'purity politics' lens prevalent in much left analysis of socialism today. A failure to grasp the political economy of imperialism and how it has undermined the material conditions of socialist transition has led to defeatism and pessimism in Western Marxist circles. Lauesen, instead, provides reasons for optimism on the left, deftly tracing the 'fundamental contradiction' between the development of productive forces and the capitalist mode of production, demonstrating how this core conflict propels the global struggle towards socialism. The book provides a detailed historical overview of revolutionary movements, from the revolutions of 1848 to the Paris Commune and the Russian, Chinese, and decolonization revolutions of the 20^th century. Lauesen emphasizes how each revolution has contributed to the long transition from capitalism to socialism, serving as critical learning experiences for future movements. The discussion of China's strategic use of 'market socialism' highlights how the country navigated these contradictions by leveraging the dynamics of capitalism to develop its productive forces, illustrating a significant example of a transitional state adapting to global conditions. With the decline of neoliberalism and the rise of China, Lauesen highlights how Global South states have been provided 'breathing space' to remove the boot of imperialism from their necks, challenge historically polarized accumulation in the world-system, and provide support for socialist movements. This masterful analysis makes Lauesen's work essential reading for anyone interested in developing the theoretical tools required to understand the long transition and ultimately to achieve socialism on a world scale.

In That We May Be One: Christian Non-Duality by Thomas Keating points to the ultimate destination of the spiritual journey.

One of the chief architects of the Centering Prayer movement, Keating has guided countless people of all walks on the contemplative path toward wholeness. He speaks to the inner transformation experienced through daily silent meditation practice:

Centering Prayer establishes the letting go of self, making room for the gradual development of consciousness beyond rational thought

and into what some spiritual traditions call non-duality.

Keating reflects on Eastern philosophies of enlightenment and awakening as he presents core teachings of mystical Christianity. Drawing parallels to advances in science and technology, as well as to teachings found in the Gospel of John and the letters of Paul,

Keating invites us to become who we already are:

It is a simple program, but hard to do. All you have to do is do nothing. It does not mean that you actually do nothing...Emptiness is not nothingness,

but emptiness with an openness to becoming everything.

The Lost and Early Writings of James Connolly, 1889-1898 unveils the formative years of one of the 20th century's most influential socialist thinkers and revolutionary leaders. In this groundbreaking collection, editor Conor McCabe brings together Connolly's earliest articles, letters, and speeches, many of which have remained unpublished or inaccessible for over a century. These writings offer a rare glimpse into Connolly's evolving political thought as he navigated the fight for workers' rights, socialism, and Irish independence. Through his sharp critiques of capitalism and imperialism, Connolly laid the intellectual groundwork for the radical movements that would later define his legacy.

This collection not only captures Connolly's intellectual rigor but also his deep personal commitment to the working class and the oppressed. From his early involvement in Scottish socialist circles to his growing leadership in Ireland, Connolly's writings reveal a thinker who was as much a man of action as of theory. His early works show the seeds of what would become his revolutionary strategy-a blend of Marxist analysis, Irish republicanism, and a fierce advocacy for international solidarity. For readers, this volume offers a window into the life of a young rebel whose ideas would ignite movements far beyond his time and place.

With meticulous editing and historical context, this volume is an indispensable resource for scholars of labor history, Marxism, and Irish studies, while also remaining accessible to a broader audience eager to explore the origins of Connolly's revolutionary ideas. The Lost and Early Writings offers both a scholarly analysis of Connolly's early political development and a compelling narrative of a revolutionary mind in the making. This collection is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of Connolly's thought and his enduring influence on global struggles for justice and equality-as well as their relevance to modern day liberation struggles.

With her trademark bold, graphic style Monica Wellington has created a picture book about autumn, trees, and leaves. When the seasons change, a young narrator visits the arboretum to collect beautiful leaves of all shapes, sizes and colors. She researches the trees and leaves to identify them, does art projects with the leaves, and creates her own book with her findings. Brilliant illustrations show each variety of tree the girl encounters, from the common oak and maple to the lesser known gingko and honey locust. Like the girl in the book, young readers will be eager to make their very own leaf books. Suggestions and directions for art projects included at the end.

Except me.

But then life throws me the ultimate curveball: He's my new temporary roomie.

I thought it was going to be easy, keeping him at a distance.

Turns out, I was wrong.

He's nothing like the cocky, rich playboy that I thought he was.

I told myself one more time wouldn't hurt.

We promised to keep things casual, no strings attached.

But soon lines blur, and he somehow becomes my only safe space to land.

And now, we're catching feelings.

Gothic Romance

Multiple POV's

THIS IS NOT THE SPECIAL EDITION VERSION OF THE BOOK.

Cheating death comes with a heavy fine.

When her sister drowned, Azure Galanides was given a choice: sell her soul or let the child die. The decision was simple, and Daneliya lived, but the consequences were worse than she had imagined. Azure became a slave, turned into one of the Sea Goddess' murderous mermaids. From caregiver to killer, regret became her constant companion, and hope was a long-forgotten stranger. She didn't deserve redemption. At least, that was what she thought until she met Elios.

His stubborn will to survive, even as she sent his ship plummeting into the sea, sparked something within her. His determination to save her from her fate turned that spark into a burning desire for freedom. But the second she ran, the hunt was on. The Goddess would stop at nothing to snuff out Azure's life, and by helping her, Elios put a target on his back as well.

Can Azure protect Elios and gain her freedom? Or is she destined to die by the very hand that revived her sister?

Song of Death does NOT end on a cliffhanger.
