A Novel

A people-pleasing baker tries to find her place as a bridesmaid-for-hire. Will she finally find her happily ever after-and her own voice?

ONE OF BUZZFEED'SMOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2022 ."A delightful debut, perfect for any person who's ever created their own place to belong."-Casey McQuiston, bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue and One Last Stop

Amy, a semicloseted queer baker and bartender in mid-2010s Oklahoma, has spent a lifetime putting other people's needs before her own. Until, that is, she's fired from her job at a Christian bakery and turns her one-off gig subbing in for a bridesmaid into a full-time business, thanks to her baking talents, crafting skills, and years watching rom-coms and Say Yes to the Dress. Between her new gig and meeting Charley, the attractive engineer who's just moved to Tulsa, suddenly Amy's found something-and someone-she actually wants.

Her tight-knit group of chosen family is thrilled that Amy is becoming her authentic self. But when her deep desire to please kicks into overdrive, Amy's precarious balancing act strains her relationships to the breaking point, and she must decide what it looks like to be true to herself-and if she has the courage to try.

Grundlosen Strudeln gleich, die Meere nicht erfullen, Macht der Genuss sie arm, und weiss sie nicht zu stillen. Gib dem Eroberer der sieben Hugel Macht, Schliesst er wohl Ianus Thor?-) Du magst Potosi's Schacht Und Amphitritens Schatz dem alten Harpar schenken, Noch wird er auf ein Schiff, den Mond zu plundern, denken. Hat den Tiberius dein Amt, Cason, ') vergnugt? Und hatte Philipps Sohn wohl jemals ausgesiegt? Viel anders wirkt das Gut, das sich der Weise wahlet Er wird nicht im Genuss von starkerm Durst gequalet; Es lautert sich sein Herz selbst im Genuss der Lust, Und er verliert nie ganz beim bittersten Verlust. Er adelt jeden Wunsch, der seiner Brust entfahret, Und nur die Tugend zeugt die Lust, die er begehret. Er kennt der Guter Werth, der Dinge wahren Brauch, Die Schatze der Natur, und er geniesst sie auch. Wohin sein Blick sich kehrt, stromt Wollust ihm entgegen, Ihm triefet jeder Tritt von seines Schopfers Segen; Kein innerlicher Feind macht in der Freude Schooss, Ihn zu vergonnter Lust verstockt und sinnenlos. Des Himmels holdes Blau, der Athem sanfter Winde, Des Fruhlings Malerei, der Schatten tiefer Grunde, Ist seinem Sinn genug, indem der bessere Geist, Erhabner Bilder voll, den Schopfer sieht und preis't; Was schon ist, ist's fur ihn; sein Auge zu ergotzen, Entladet Indien sich von seinen reichsten Schatzen: Zwar nennt er sie nicht sein, doch strahlen sie fur ihn An oelimenens Hals. Die grosste Konigin Besitzt nicht mehr vom Schmuck, der ihre Stirn umblitzet, Als der, der sie beschaut. Nu

Near Enough to Touch, Strong Enough to Trust

We applaud men for doing good things.

We enshrine God for doing great things.

But what about a man who does God things?

One thing is certain. We can't ignore him. If these moments are factual, if the claim of Christ is actual, then he was, at once, man and God.

The single most significant person who ever lived. Forget MVP. He is the entire league. The head of the parade? Hardly. No one else shares the street. Who comes close? Humanity's best and brightest fade like dime-store rubies next to him.

Dismiss him? We can't. Resist him? Equally difficult. Why would we want to?

Don't we need a God-man Savior? A just-God Jesus could make us, but not understand us. A just-man Jesus could love us, but never save us. But a God-man Jesus?

Near enough to touch. Strong enough to trust. A next door Savior.

When Tilla’s mother tells her she’ll be spending the summer on the island, Tilla dreads the idea of seeing him again, but longs to discover what life in Jamaica has always held for him. In an unexpected turn of events, Tilla is forced to face the storm that unravels in her own life as she learns about the dark secrets that lie beyond the veil of paradise—all in the midst of an impending hurricane. Hurricane Summer is a powerful coming of age story that deals with colorism, classism, young love, the father-daughter dynamic—and what it means to discover your own voice in the center of complete destruction.

"Find You First starts with a bang and ends with an even bigger one. . . . It's the best book of his career."  -- Stephen King

Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend, and everything he could dream of--except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a fifty percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past . . .

Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids--nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him--maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

As Miles begins to search for the children he's never known, aspiring film documentarian Chloe Swanson embarks on a quest to find her biological father, armed with the knowledge that twenty-two years ago, her mother used a New York sperm bank to become pregnant.

When Miles and Chloe eventually connect, their excitement at finding each other is overshadowed by a series of mysterious and terrifying events. One by one, Miles's other potential heirs are vanishing--every trace of them wiped, like they never existed at all.

Who is the vicious killer--another heir methodically erasing rivals? Or is something even more sinister going on?

It's a deadly race against time . . .

There is no real justice in the world...

Elvina Woods's death at her home in Mallorca is sudden and unexpected.

Another few days and her great-nephew would have inherited, through her, enough to buy the English farm he craves.

So when he returns to the house and finds her dead, his first thought is to conceal her death for a short time, his second how to do it.

It is only after that begins to question whether such an action was wise...

But - still grieving for his recently murdered fiancée - John Tatham already has enough reason to despise the law's insistence on the letter rather than the spirit. And he plans his deception carefully.

Elvina was not exactly popular with the English community on the island, nor with certain Mallorquins. And with her peculiar reputation, oft to acting impulsively, few would enquire about the mad woman if she were not seen around.

And when, later, her body was discovered, her death would be seen to be a fatal accident ...

Unfortunately, Tatham fails to reckon with Inspector Alvarez, the local policeman, with whom he has more in common than he thought.

And he fails to reckon with the fact that to a policeman his own role would look highly suspect.

Has Tatham in effect framed himself? And has he, in doing so, inadvertently involved himself in another's crime?

Mistakenly in Mallorca is filled with ingenious twist and turns that will keep you hooked.
