An Unrivaled Off-Season (Hockey Ever After)
Par Ashlyn Kane, Morgan James. 2024
Any other year, hockey player Grady Armstrong would be licking his wounds after a disappointing playoffs exit. Somehow, this year,…
he&’s in the stands as his rival-turned-boyfriend Max Lockhart competes for the Stanley Cup… and there&’s nowhere he&’d rather be. Well, except maybe lifting the Cup himself. So along with preparing his body for next season, Grady prepares to ask Max to stay in his life permanently. Max figures it can&’t be easy for Grady to watch Max cash in on his dreams, but if he&’s struggling, he hides it well—which is great, because they don&’t get much time together during the season, and it would suck if Grady spent the summer sulking. But while Grady may still be a competitive bastard, he doesn&’t sulk. He nurses Max through hangovers. He comes home with him for the summer. He loses fishing bets. He earns so many boyfriend points Max should really level him up. The question is, how?The highly anticipated sequel to the action-packed dark fantasy SILVER UNDER NIGHTFALL!

A skeptic and a supernatural being make a crossroads deal to achieve their own ends only to get more than…
they bargained for in this lively young adult romantic adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of Spell Bound and So This Is Ever After.Seventeen-year-old Ellery is a non-believer in a region where people swear the supernatural is real. Sure, they&’ve been stuck in a five-year winter, but there&’s got to be a scientific explanation. If goddesses were real, they wouldn&’t abandon their charges like this, leaving farmers like Ellery&’s family to scrape by. Knox is a familiar from the Other World, a magical assistant sent to help humans who have made crossroads bargains. But it&’s been years since he heard from his queen, and Knox is getting nervous about what he might find once he returns home. When the crossroads demons come to collect Knox, he panics and runs. A chance encounter down an alley finds Ellery coming to Knox&’s rescue, successfully fending off his would-be abductors. Ellery can&’t quite believe what they&’ve seen.

Five Feet Apart, this tender solo debut by the coauthor of New York Times bestseller She Gets the Girl is a &“punch to the gut in the best way&” (Booklist, starred review) about the strength of love and the power of choosing each other, against odds and obstacles, again and again.What would you do if you forgot the love of your life ever even existed? Stevie and Nora had a love. A secret, epic, once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. They also had a plan: to leave their small, ultra-conservative town and families behind after graduation and move to California, where they could finally stop hiding that love. But then Stevie has a terrible fall. And when she comes to, she can remember nothing of the last two years—not California, not coming to terms with her sexuality, not even Nora. Suddenly, Stevie finds herself in a life she doesn&’t quite understand, one where she&’s estranged from her parents, drifting away from her friends, lying about the hours she works, and headed towards a future that isn&’t at all what her fifteen-year-old self would have envisioned. And Nora finds herself…forgotten. Can the two beat the odds a second time and find their way back together when &“together&” itself is just a lost memory?Wild Justice (Medieval Mysteries #14)

"Imagine an Agatha Christie mystery set in the late thirteenth century, and you'll have a pretty good picture of this…
very well executed mystery."—BooklistIt is Spring 1282. England is at war again with Wales. As Baron Hugh of Wynethorpe, a veteran of fighting in Outremer, prepares to join his King's army, he begs his sister, Prioress Eleanor, a favor. On her journey home to Tyndal Prior in Norfolk, she is to carry a gift of rents from the Wynethorpe estates to Mynchen Buckland Priory. The charter for the grant and a private letter are to be given to the Hospitaller nuns' Prioress Amicia, and none other. Eleanor agrees - if Hugh is heading into the Welsh wilderness, then she, Eleanor, will do him this service as well as pray for his protection.When she and her party of Brother Thomas and Sister Anne arrive in cold and rain-sodden Somerset, they receive a chilly welcome. Then the new Prioress at Mynchen Buckland delivers shocking news: Amicia has been imprisoned, convicted of murdering a widow from the village in the priory's cloister, and awaits sentencing by the Prior of England, the Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem's regional head in London. Eleanor gives Hugh's grant to newly elected Prioress Emelyne, but insists she must obey her brother's wishes by having an audience with Amicia in her cell. Eleanor is resolute in wishing to fulfill her promise by delivering Hugh's letter into Amicia's hands. Permission is granted.Eleanor is unprepared for Amicia's terribly frail condition. And more so when Amicia reads the Baron's letter, then tearfully begs Tyndal's prioress to prove her innocence, claiming she did not commit the crime. Eleanor believes her.In an unfamiliar place, the murder victim buried, and nothing left at the crime site, what can the Tyndal trio unearth? And how can they prolong their visit? Eleanor has it - she fakes a fall and injury to her ankle which requires nursing. Thomas and Anne will have to be her investigators, though they are closely chaperoned by members of the Mynchen Buckland community. Still, they learn the dead woman's unsavory behavior had made her well hated. Will anyone help uncover the real killer when so many welcomed the victim's death?A medieval historical mystery perfect for readers of Denise Domning and Sharon Kay Penman!Additional Praise for Wild Justice: "...a good read for fans of medieval history and anyone interested in problems surprisingly relevant to modern life."—Kirkus Reviews "Royal shows once again why she stands in the front rank of medieval mystery authors." —Publishers Weekly, STARRED ReviewFogland Point

As the two grow closer, the tension between them turns electric, and their chemistry spills past the confines of the stadium. For every tight double play they execute, there&’s also a glance at summer-tan shoulders or a secret shared, each one a breathless moment of possibility that ignites in Gene the visceral, terrifying kind of desire he&’s never allowed himself. Soon, Gene has to reconcile the quiet, minor-league-sized life he used to find fulfilling with the major-league dreams Luis inspires.This triumphant debut romance reveals what&’s possible when we allow ourselves to want something enough to swing for the fences.Teenage Dirtbags

From the New York Times bestselling author of Every Day, this is a queer love story set against the backdrop of…
the 2024 presidential election, in a reimagining of David Levithan&’s 2004 novel Wide Awake.When David Levithan published Wide Awake in 2004, he set it in an imagined 2024, where a gay Jewish man had just been elected president of the United States, until a governor decides that some election results in his state are invalid, awarding crucial votes to the other candidate and his fellow party member. What follows is the story of teens Jimmy and Duncan as they explore their relationship, their politics, and their country.In Wide Awake Now, David Levithan is flipping the script and rewriting Jimmy and Duncan&’s story in the real 2024, rather than his imagined version. This is a protest novel for today.Once again, David Levithan proves the critical importance of standing up for what you believe in and the cost of apathy in today&’s political climate.The Warden: A Novel (The Warden Series #1)
