DOWNLOAD EBOOKLina O'Kelly, psychic and interstellar transporter, has been accused of mind-controlling her new husband, Valiant. With the galaxy's most powerful superhero under her command, she could conquer worlds. But she's innocent. How can she make her accusers—and especially her arresting officer, Jae Rallene—believe her? He is the last of his kind, supremely powerful in his own right, and best friends with Lina's groom. Lina is new to her powers, new to being off-Earth, new even to being able to touch and love another person. Now she has to figure a way out of this mess without bringing dishonor to Valiant. Superhero romance and adventure Jae must stop himself from growing closer to the intriguing woman his commanding officer has named a suspect. To do so defies his duty as a Mega-Legionnaire and as a friend. But when a web of interstellar crises begins to tighten around the two, will he be able to keep a safe distance from her?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEleanor & Park meets Perks of Being a Wallflower in this bittersweet 1980’s story about love, loss, and a comet that only comes around every ninety-seven years. When Carrie looks through her telescope, the world makes sense. It’s life here on Earth that’s hard to decipher. Since her older sister, Ginny, died, Carrie has been floating in the orbit of Ginny’s friends, the cool kids, who are far more interested in bands and partying than science. Carrie’s reckless behavior crosses a line, and her father enrolls her in a summer work camp at a local state park. There, Carrie pulls weeds and endures pep talks about the power of hard work. Despite her best efforts to hate the job, Carrie actually feels happy out in nature. And when she meets Dean—warm, thoughtful, and perceptive—she starts to discover that her life can be like her beloved night sky, with black holes of grief for Ginny and dazzling meteors of joy from first love.
