Sweet Romantic Comedy

Fame and love can only get easier, right?
Being a pop star is nothing like what Ruby Harkwad imagined. How was she supposed to know every stray hair was to be waxed off her body, she’d be pushed into sky-high stilettos that easily could cause her death, or that an eccentric diva would be her mentor?

All she wanted to do was compose music and perform, not join a freak show.

Thank goodness for Collin. Ruby could always count on her boyfriend—one kiss from him and she could forget every terrifying visit to the beautician.

Except he landed his dream job and he has a snake for a secretary. Seriously, that woman sucks. She thinks she can steal Collin? Over Ruby’s cold, dead body.

The problem is his secretary might be that ruthless.

Making a name for herself has always been a dream, but losing Collin might not be worth the cost of fame.

Private Investigators

P.I. Lou Fleener’s got a great disguise—he’s kind of short, slightly pudgy, and a little nondescript. But whatever you do, don’t get in a fight with him, even if you’ve brought a couple of buddies. Because you’re gonna lose every time. Some people just have a gift. And Lou has a second one, a little something for the ladies—he can dance like an Arthur Murray instructor. His best friend, movie-star handsome, socially awkward Dion “Monk” Monkton, has his own super power: working out intricate and diabolical revenge plans.

Cozy readers will adore the romance, the snappy jokes, and Lou’s spitfire wife Cassidy. There’s also enough fast-moving action for hard-boiled fans, and a quirky brand of noir that will appeal to classicists looking for the next Raymond Chandler.

Civil Rights & Liberties
Why do people choose authoritarianism over freedom? The classic study of the psychological appeal of fascism by a New York Times–bestselling author.
The pursuit of freedom has indelibly marked Western culture since Renaissance humanism and Protestantism began the fight for individualism and self-determination. This freedom, however, can make people feel unmoored, and is often accompanied by feelings of isolation, fear, and the loss of self, all leading to a desire for authoritarianism, conformity, or destructiveness. It is not only the question of freedom that makes Fromm’s debut book a timeless classic. In this examination of the roots of Nazism and fascism in Europe, Fromm also explains how economic and social constraints can also lead to authoritarianism.
