More Happy Than Not (Deluxe Edition) by Adam Silvera

In his twisty, gritty, profoundly moving debut–called “mandatory reading” by the New York Times–Adam Silvera brings to life a charged, dangerous near-future summer in the Bronx.

In the months after his father’s suicide, it’s been tough for 16-year-old Aaron Soto to find happiness again–but he’s still gunning for it. With the support of his girlfriend Genevieve and his overworked mom, he’s slowly remembering what that might feel like. But grief and the smile-shaped scar on his wrist prevent him from forgetting completely.

When Genevieve leaves for a couple of weeks, Aaron spends all his time hanging out with this new guy, Thomas. Aaron’s crew notices, and they’re not exactly thrilled. But Aaron can’t deny the happiness Thomas brings or how Thomas makes him feel safe from himself, despite the tensions their friendship is stirring with his girlfriend and friends. Since Aaron can’t stay away from Thomas or turn off his newfound feelings for him, he considers turning to the Leteo Institute’s revolutionary memory-alteration procedure to straighten himself out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is.

Why does happiness have to be so hard?

Killing Simon Webb by AJ Blake

A BRAND NEW RELEASE

*** By the author of DUST ON THE NETTLES***

“…a Tom Wolfe with gravitas…

___________________

It’s 2016. The Kremlin is quietly celebrating the election of Donald Trump. Britain has voted to leave the European Union.

When his marriage unravels, Simon Webb leaves his high-flying City job and moves from London to Berlin to set up a fund managing the wealth of mega-rich Russians. His fascination with the old Berlin of Cold War espionage leads him to a story that threatens to entangle him.

He meets a beautiful woman with “a body to die for”, a complex past and a mysterious present. Among her circle of friends are computer hackers, individuals with far-right agendas and one loner who shares Simon’s interest in Cold War spies.

On the surface Simon’s new life in Germany is good.

But… all is not as it seems. Danger lurks around every bend.

Before long he is on the run, fleeing for his life.

The Differenceby C. D’Angelo

When anxiety-prone Rachel Granza learns that her growing sense of emptiness is affecting her relationship with her almost perfect boyfriend and that she’s jeopardizing any possibility of a marriage proposal, she knows she must pull herself out of her funk. But how? A dream apartment in New York City, a thriving psychotherapy practice, and her unique obsessions with topics like the Titanic don’t even make her feel grounded anymore. Red alert!

Trying to find happiness and meaning again—in more than her beloved Italian food—she stumbles into a genealogy mission to discover childhood information about her idol, aka her grandpa, who died years ago. He never spoke about his Italian immigrant past and now she’s determined to find out the reason for his unusual secretiveness.

Rachel’s ancestral roller coaster has roadblocks galore, but she needs the answers to her family’s hidden history. They’re her only hope to know more about her hero, salvage her relationship, and most importantly to save herself.

Mr Stiff Studby Jacob Parker

My latest client wants to loosen me up…

And not in the ways I was hoping for.

She’s a beautiful, free-spirited type of girl, and I’m, well, stiff.

Love has kicked me around enough. I’m not interested in being the center of its attention anymore.

It can find another guy to play with.

This curvy goddess needs a website and my tech firm is perfect for the job.

I’m not interested in becoming involved myself until I see her.

Then, all bets are off.

If I could do some weird science and 3D-print a woman from our machines, I would craft a girl that looks just like her.

So now, I’m all in.

In my desire to show this woman how much I’m into her, I take her yoga idea and build an app to start growing it.

It’s a gift to her to go along with the website.

But as luck would have it, she hears about the app being live from the wrong source and it looks like I’ve stolen her idea.

I’m back to being a rich, piece of trash, Manhattan Man.

Perfect. Love can suck it. I’ll just stay the stiff stud I’ve always been.
