Steamy Historical Romance

After years as a diplomat navigating the treacherous waters of the Napoleonic Wars, Lord Eastwood has returned to London society—and he’s miserable about it. 🎨 His scandalous divorce has made him infamous, and the ton’s gossip mill never stops churning. He’s become cantankerous, guarded, and convinced that his only path to respectability is marrying some quiet, conventional noblewoman who won’t cause a stir.

Enter Faith Brookes: bold, vibrant, artistic, and absolutely not what he had in mind. 🖌️ Faith is a painter—talented, opinionated, and entirely unsuitable for a man trying to rehabilitate his reputation. She’s exactly the kind of woman the gossips love to whisper about. And yet Eastwood can’t stay away. She sees through his gruff exterior; he’s drawn to her fire and honesty. They are the least appropriate match imaginable.

Heath excels at the slow-burn dynamic between two people who know better but can’t help themselves. ✨ The chemistry is sharp and genuine, built on verbal sparring that gradually reveals vulnerability beneath the bravado. Eastwood’s wounds from his failed marriage are real, and Faith’s determination to be taken seriously as an artist gives her dimension beyond the standard Regency heroine.

The Regency setting is rendered with care—the social constraints feel authentic, and the consequences of flouting them have real weight. 💕 This isn’t a world where reputation is a minor inconvenience; it shapes every choice these characters make, which raises the stakes for their romance.

Here’s what you’re getting: enemies-to-lovers heat with emotional substance, featuring a hero learning to trust again and a heroine who refuses to be diminished. 🔥 First in The Talk of the Beau Monde trilogy, with two more charming installments to follow.

Christian Spiritual Growth

On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, the renowned scholar Marcus Borg offers something more personal than his previous work: a spiritual autobiography organized around the convictions that have shaped his faith. ✝️ Each chapter embodies a distinct belief, and together they form a manifesto for progressive Christians seeking the best path for following Jesus today.

Borg writes provocatively and compellingly on ideas that challenge conventional assumptions: God is real and a mystery. Salvation is more about this life than an afterlife. The Bible can be true without being literally true. Jesus’s death on the cross matters—but not because he paid for our sins. 📖 These aren’t abstract theological propositions; Borg grounds each one in his own journey, showing how he arrived at these positions through doubt, study, and lived experience.

The book is also a call to action. Borg argues that American Christians are at their best when they focus on hope and transformation rather than exclusivity and judgment. 🌍 God, he contends, is passionate about justice and the poor, and to love God is to love like God. He urges readers to reject divisiveness and create communities that celebrate joy, possibility, and renewal—to bring to earth the kingdom Jesus actually talked about.

Borg’s writing is accessible without being simplistic, scholarly without being dry. He engages seriously with scripture and tradition while remaining open to mystery and uncertainty. 🕊️ For readers raised in more conservative traditions, some of these ideas may feel radical; for others, they’ll articulate what they’ve intuited but couldn’t name.

Here’s what you’re getting: a wise, searching book from one of progressive Christianity’s most important voices, offering a vision of faith grounded in love, justice, and intellectual honesty. 💜 Rich in insight, warm in tone, and likely to become a touchstone for readers seeking a thoughtful, generous Christianity.

Native American Literature

Ever Geimausaddle’s family is part Mexican, part Native American, and determined to hold onto their community despite obstacles at every turn. 🪶 His father is injured at the hands of corrupt police on the border while visiting family in Mexico. His mother struggles to keep her job while caring for her husband. And young Ever is lost and angry at all he doesn’t understand, at a world that seems designed to undermine his sense of safety.

Hokeah’s electric debut follows Ever from childhood through young adulthood as his relatives try to shape who he is and who he should become. 🌾 His Cherokee grandmother urges the family to move across Oklahoma to be near her, understanding the importance of proximity. His grandfather, watching their traditions slip away, tries to reconnect Ever with his heritage through traditional gourd dances. Each relative carries their own wounds and wisdom, and each wants the same thing: to remind Ever of the rich, supportive communities that surround him.

The novel’s structure is remarkable—told through multiple perspectives across different time periods, it builds a mosaic of family and cultural identity. 📚 Hokeah, himself Kiowa and Cherokee, writes with authority about the specific textures of Native life in Oklahoma: the ceremonies, the foods, the humor, the intergenerational trauma, and the fierce love that persists despite everything.

At its heart, this is a story about how a young man visualizes a place for himself when the world hasn’t made room for him to start with. 💔 How do you find home when home has been systematically disrupted? How do you take the strength given to you and use it not only to save yourself but also the next generation?

Here’s what you’re getting: an honest, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting novel about family, heritage, and belonging. 🔥 Hokeah is a major new voice in Native American literature, and this debut announces his arrival with force and grace.
