In the Arms of an Earl
Summary
Book four of Rose Pearson’s series of stand-alone regency romance stories, The Duke's Daughters. The youngest daughter of the Duke of Westbrook, Harmonia Seaworth is gentle, beautiful, and sweet. She has never expected her life to be anything but ordinary and, as the last daughter left at Seaworth Manor, had thought it would consist of nothing more than caring for her ailing father and watching her sisters' children grow. Surely she wouldn’t be expected to find a husband before her father’s passing as well. But it seems her father’s dying wish to see his daughters married well before he passes extended to her too. Only, left on her own, she isn’t exactly the type to foster a social life helpful in finding a suitable husband. As always, her father, the Duke, is more than ready to see to things himself. Equally as common, as it seems for the Seaworth sisters, is that just as she relents to settle for the quickest and easiest match, the least likely suitor comes her way to make her feel things she never thought she could. Now, pursued by Luke Seaworth, a distant cousin, Harmonia finds herself inadvertently falling into the arms of Philip Marshal, the newly-instated Earl of Swansea. But can she trust Philip? Or is all that she has been told about him true? And what about her father's wish to see her wed to Luke? Could he really be as terrible as Philip says he is, or is Philip the real rake, out to take advantage of her and the possible passing of her wealthy dying father? In the Arms of an Earl is the fourth book in the Duke’s Daughter’s series. Each book is its own historical romance story with its own HEA and no cliffhangers. Listen to them all to see how each of the sisters find love in their own way.

The Boyfriend
Summary
Winner of the Adam Foundation Prize. Erica is 17 and in her last year of high school. Donny is 42 and everywhere - in her yoga class, at German Club, in her parents' spare room.... The story of a young woman who finds herself subject to the gravitational field of a charismatic man, The Boyfriend is a cautionary tale about blindly accepting traditional 'love' narratives. This clear-eyed, dismaying and often hilarious examination of sexual desire, trauma and growth is a remarkable debut and a perfect novel for our time.

Sha'Daa: Pawns
Summary
Once every 10,000 years, the walls between worlds grow thin. The stars align, and Hell is close. It is the time of the Sha'Daa. The hordes of Hell are about to ride out upon mankind; the forces of evil are trembling with eagerness at the doors of our dimension. Oh, wait a minute.... Actually, they’re not all eager. Some have become members of the Elks, or are involved with a fun crowd at the local high school (though, granted, they’re drinking the cheerleaders’ blood. Not enough to do any real harm). Others are tied up doing custodial work with incredibly annoying chipper young assistants. And there’s a blood diamond mine in Africa that’s perfectly hellish enough without demons getting into the act. Aliens and time travelers are frantically trying to get out of Dodge, not least by buying help at a certain centuries-old Afro-Celtic swap and barter shop in Ireland. And the mysterious master of the deal, Johnny the Salesman - what’s his part in all this? Sha’Daa Pawns offers up to 19 terrifying tales of the coming apocalypse written by some of today’s most daring authors: C.J. Henderson, Michael H. Hanson, Edward F. McKeown, John Manning, Arthur Sanchez, Jeff Barnes, Sarah Wagner, Diane Arrelle, Gustavo Bondoni, Leona Wisoker, Michael D. Griffiths, Paul Barrett, Richard Groller, Mallory Makepeace, Bruce Durham, Jamie K. Schmidt, Larry Atchley Jr., Jason Cordova, and Deborah Koren.
