Arena Thieves by Madison Zehring

Arena Thieves by Madison Zehring

Soria was never supposed to be on that stage. The gifted are the ones they sell-those born with a power humming beneath their skin. Not her. She’s the nobody. The mistake. The girl who dared to love someone bound for the auction.

But when her plan to escape with her love falls apart, Soria is thrust into the spotlight she was never meant to stand in. And then he appears-calm, unreadable, a shadow of danger wrapped in perfect control. He has no need for a young girl from the cottage fields, but with a single bid, he claims his prize.

In the bidder’s world, survival is a game played with blood and secrets, and one misstep could cost everything. Soria has no choice but to outlast, outwit and outfight the hundreds of deadly recruits bought and shipped to the most notorious training base-all for the slim chance of becoming one of the few. The proud. The Arena Thieves.

Weaponization of Ignorance: How Lies and Misinformation Divided America by Stephen M. Fry, Ph.D.

Weaponization of Ignorance: How Lies and Misinformation Divided America by Stephen M. Fry, Ph.D.

In an age when Americans can’t even agree on reality, Weaponization of Ignorance exposes how our political crisis was engineered. Through clear explanations and compelling real-world examples, Stephen M. Fry, Ph.D., reveals how cognitive biases, emotional reasoning, partisan media, and deliberate disinformation have created a parallel universe of belief—one in which lies feel true, truth feels threatening, and democracy becomes vulnerable.
Why do smart people fall for obvious falsehoods?
Why is misinformation so powerful—and so hard to correct?
Why have political identities hardened into something like cult loyalty?
Drawing from psychology, political science, history, and today’s fractured media landscape, Fry shows how ignorance is no longer accidental—it is manufactured, sustained, and weaponized. The book also offers practical guidance for navigating conversations with loved ones caught in misinformation, and outlines the critical thinking and media literacy skills needed to rebuild a shared commitment to truth.
Clear, accessible, and urgently relevant, Weaponization of Ignorance is a roadmap for understanding—and resisting—the forces tearing America apart.

In the Pureblood’s Arms by Gianna Simone

In the Pureblood’s Arms by Gianna Simone

In 13th century France, attacked by those carrying out the Papal Inquisition, Magiste Enchantress Chantal Belliveau is thankful for rescue from certain torture and death. But she never expected her savior to be Henri Marchand, one of a powerful pureblooded line of ancient Magiste, the Zyndevines, known for their practice of dark magic. Henri holds the key to her survival, but the danger he poses to her heart and soul could be even more perilous.

Despite his dark lineage, Henri is part of Il Resistasse, a handful of powerful Magiste fighting the atrocities the Catholic Church inflicts on their race. Saving Chantal becomes more than a simple rescue – the innocent young woman with half-trained powers enchants him more than he has ever been before. That she enjoys the dark side of pleasure he inflicts makes him question his determination to never give another his heart.

Chantal is horrified when Henri invokes an ancient spell, the Possede Puissant. The incantation leaves her little more than his possession. While she finds herself enjoying his dark and wicked sensual delights, she determines to free herself. Yet, the security she finds with Henri encourages her to stay by his side, claiming spell or not.

Resentment from Henri’s family convinces Chantal she must ultimately break free of Henri’s possession. When the Inquisitors attack, Henri convinces Chantal to embark on a journey to a new land, a journey that may well mean the survival of the entire Magiste race but the loss of her freedom forever.

GIOVANNI by Claire Kirby

GIOVANNI by Claire Kirby

I inherited my Nonna’s restaurant, along with a debt to the mob I can never repay, and a baby I never meant to conceive.

Giovanni Conti walks into my kitchen like he owns it—because apparently, he does.
Underboss to Atlantic City’s most powerful crime family, twenty-one years my senior, and dangerous in every way that matters.

He could take everything.

Instead, he makes me an offer: work exclusively for him until the debt is paid.
I move into his penthouse world of silk sheets and blood money, cooking for hardened men who could kill, while he watches me work with an intensity that makes my skin burn, and my panties dampen.

When rival threats escalate, Gio moves me into his bed.
For my safety, he says.
For his pleasure, I know.

Then I discover his secret—he’s been using Nonna’s debt payments to keep neighborhood businesses alive, protecting people who can’t protect themselves.

This brutal man has a heart buried so deep, I’m the only one who’s found it.
And when I tell him I’m pregnant, the ice in his eyes melts to pure joy.

Until the Russos grab me in retaliation, and Gio thinks I’ve betrayed him and chosen his enemy.

By the time he realizes the truth, I’m already gone.
And so is any chance our baby will know its father.

Many are Called But Few are Chosen: Learning the Difference Between Hearing the Invitation and Belonging to the King

About Many are Called But Few are Chosen: Learning the Difference Between Hearing the Invitation and Belonging to the King

Not everyone who hears the gospel belongs to Christ.
Not everyone who answers the call has surrendered the heart.
Jesus’ words are both invitation and warning:
“Many are called, but few are chosen.”
These are not words meant to frighten the tender soul — but to awaken the honest one.
For it is possible to know the language of faith and yet remain unchanged. To sit among God’s people and still keep a guarded heart. To wear the garments of religion while never putting on Christ Himself.
This book is a gentle but searching companion for those who desire truth more than comfort.
Drawing on the piercing wisdom of faithful Puritans, it helps uncover the subtle difference between outward belief and inward transformation — between responding to God’s call and truly belonging to Him.
These pages invite you to slow down, to lay aside assumptions, and to stand honestly before God.
Not to ask, “Am I religious enough?”
But to ask, “Is my heart truly His?”
For those who dare to examine themselves in the light of eternity, this journey leads not to fear, but to freedom, assurance, and deep peace with the One who chooses His own

About ECHOES OF ENVY: A Paranormal Romance Mystery by J. K. Grueber

A fatal plane crash throws investigative reporter Veronica Bryson-Laquette into a tailspin.

Wracked with grief, she embarks on a quest to find her husband’s doppelgänger or to discover the facts surrounding his alleged death. The man was a psychic—one of the most gifted psychics to grace the known world—and the possibility of him boarding a plane destined to crash was slim to none. She’d find answers somewhere in Cleveland, Ohio, but she may not be the only one searching for them—or him.
With a thumb-sized, gifted, fetus in tow and skewing her sixth sense, Ronnie soon becomes entrenched in the FBI investigation of the serial killer known as “The Taxidermist,” a madman stalking and killing on the streets of Cleveland. But there may be more to this madman than a fetish for the perfect skin.

Meanwhile, already immersed in a mission to uncover an eighteen-year-old conspiracy, former Jade Laquette battles his inherent penchant for the dark side. Overlapping images of the distant past and glimpses of the future test his psychic talents to the limit as he realizes the continued threat to his wife and unborn child hovering on the edges of the present. And history is on the brink of repeating itself.

In this fast-paced murder mystery, it’s a race against what was and what could be. To survive, they need to find that single moment in time to alter events before the past catches up to them.

The Day After His Crucifixion by Merikay McLeod

About The Day After His Crucifixion by Merikay McLeod

“This is a page-turner with a timeless, illuminating message.” – Barnes & Noble reader.

The Day After His Crucifixion gives a fresh perspective to the story of Yeshua the Nazarene through the voices of women he helped and healed and drew into his circle. Their eyewitness reports bring familiar gospel events to life.

Following his brutal execution, Yeshua’s women followers gather to share food, recall important moments, and comfort one another amid their shared shock and grief. In their gathering, faith feels human rather than abstract. These women are not symbols, they are witnesses shaped by healing, liberation, and presence.

The miracles we think we know (from Sunday School classes) are re experienced as personal turning points. The Messiah the women remember is playful, courageous, encouraging, and profoundly relational.

The Day After His Crucifixion restores authority to voices long sidelined. By allowing women to interpret Yeshua’s ministry through their own experience, the book reveals a Gospel rooted in compassion, dignity and freedom. The women’s testimonies illuminate the kingdom of God not as an abstract promise, but as something already tasted through healing, welcome, and love abundant.

Purpose is Bullsh*t

About Purpose is Bullsh*t

Purpose is Bullsht: The Myth of Purpose and the Freedom to Live Now* is a raw, refreshing wake-up call for anyone who is tired of chasing the ever-elusive idea of “finding your purpose.” While the title is intentionally bold, the message itself is thoughtful, grounded, and far deeper than shock value. It speaks to the quiet exhaustion many people feel after being told that happiness, fulfillment, and worth are always just one more goal away.
We hear it everywhere, on stages, in podcasts, and across social media, that purpose is the key to success and meaning. But what if that belief is not only misleading, but actually keeping people stuck in a cycle of waiting and self-doubt?
In this no-fluff, straight-to-the-point read, I challenge the toxic narrative that says you are incomplete unless you have identified a singular “why.” Instead of endless searching, readers are invited to reconnect with the present moment and recognize that meaning does not require a grand mission or perfectly defined life path.
Written for doers, dreamers, burned-out achievers, and especially for those who do not usually pick up books in this genre, the book is intentionally short, accessible, and designed for busy people who want something honest, reflective, and immediately applicable. Through personal insights and practical reflections, Purpose is Bullsht* reminds readers that fulfillment is not something to earn later. Joy, peace, and contentment are available now, without the pressure to be extraordinary.
