Brooklyn is a talented artist with an obsession for blood; one that she satiates at her uncle's tattoo shop. It's here at The Bleeding Heart that Brooklyn practices the art of dispensing pain onto others. Yet, nothing can dull the desire running through her veins, especially since the man she really wants to torture rots in jail for murder. When Daniel comes into her life, Brooklyn's obsession with tattoos and blood quickly turns into desire for him. She dreams about getting him on her tattoo table as her first official customer, marking him as her own. But Daniel has a different idea as to what they should be doing with their bodies. As Brooklyn spirals out of control, her sanity begins to slip right along with whatever is left of her humanity. Daniel may be the only one left to save her, if she lets him in. In the end she will have to choose between exacting vengeance, staying alive, or loving Daniel.

The human spirit is at the heart of Conservatism. Conservatives have become a marginalized and misunderstood demographic in our pop-political culture. They are not as they are often portrayed: greedy, racists, sexist, homophobic and violent. Rather, they believe in equality, opportunity, accountability, freedom and independence. Harvard graduate Pillinger Choi, a first generation daughter of a Korean mother and a Jewish father, presents conservative views on social, fiscal and foreign policy issues from a modest and compassionate perspective. Bleeding Heart Conservatives will invigorate jaded conservatives, closet conservatives, and conservatives-turned-libertarian/independent, as well as enlighten curious apoliticals and liberals.

Skye Perry and Lucas Lee each have their reasons for sneaking in through the back door of the Pinwheel Plant Shop to attend a macramé class. Since her divorce, Skye goes nowhere without her dog, Rooster, and he's technically not allowed in the shop. Lucas (a.k.a. Lee Stone), well, he's a famous rock star lying low in Braverton until his stalker goes on trial in California. When Lucas' therapist suggests he enroll in a crafty class to take his mind off his trauma, he waits until the last minute and is stuck taking macramé (whatever that is) in the suburbs. Lucas expects his classmates to be women of a certain age. Instead, he's pleasantly surprised to find himself tying knots with a cute dog trainer who has no idea who rocker Lee Stone is. Skye would be perfectly fine hanging out in her studio apartment with Rooster or spending all her time at Girl's Best Friend--her dog adoption center specifically geared toward female identifying clientele. But her mom thought it was time she met some new humans and gave her a gift card to the Pinwheel for Christmas, so Skye signed up for a class. After Rooster falls asleep under Lucas' chair, Skye considers that maybe she was meant to meet just this one special human. Falling hard and fast for one another, Lucas and Skye throw caution to the wind and go on a date in public even though they're risking the wrong people discovering where Lucas is. When the inevitable happens, can the dog trainer and the rock star untangle themselves from their pasts to be together, or will they leave each other hanging? Bleeding Heart is the fifth book in the Pinwheel Plant Shop thread of the Old Town Braverton Sweet Romance Series.

In the tradition of Mary Higgins Clark -- a suspense-filled story of a young widowed mother who unwittingly endangers her own life and that of her child as she searches for closure from a painful family loss and the truth behind it. When Maggie Collier learns that her father-in-law's murder may have been the result of his accidentally discovering the whereabouts of a kidnapped child, she takes up the investigation herself. As she explores the seemingly idyllic lives of citizens in the quiet community of Delbrook, Wisconsin, Maggie gradually recognizes a dark and eerie menace lurking beneath the town's picture-perfect façade. And she's clearly not the only one feeling unnerved by the proceedings. Someone else is keenly interested in her search. Soon her own questions about her father-in-law's murder intersect with the investigation by a young lawyer from Chicago who is hunting for his niece's kidnapper. As they join forces, Maggie and Grant probe deeply into the lives of her seemingly respectable friends and neighbors. When everyone, it appears, has a secret to hide, Maggie enters a race against the clock to find the truth before the elusive serial killer and kidnapper can make her the next victim. Crackling with tension and rich characterizations, Bleeding Heart hurtles toward a skillfully realized, cunningly resolved climax.

The fourth book in the young adult vampire romance series that’s “fun, funny, and a relief from Twilight wannabes” from the author of Out for Blood (Booklist). As the newly crowned vampire princess, Solange Drake has a lot to get used to—including some new fangs. Her family is also hosting the Blood Moon, a rare gathering, in the forest near their farm, which means Solange’s best friend, the all-too-human Lucy, must keep her distance, whether she wants to or not. While the Drakes are busy with the party—and keeping a pack of feral vampires at bay—Lucy has her training at the Helios-Ra Academy (aka Vampire–Hunter High) to keep her occupied. And there’s her cousin Christabel, who almost seems to have a personality when her head isn’t buried in a book. But when Christabel is mistaken for Lucy and kidnapped, it becomes clear that someone—or something—wants to hit Solange where it hurts. No one messes with Connor Drake’s friends and family and gets away with it, especially since Christabel has awoken feelings in him he can’t fight, including the fear that he might not be able to save her . . . Praise for the Drake Chronicles “Vampires with bite and girls who bite back. A witty, exhilarating and fresh take on an old tale.” —Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “An action-packed story full of intrigue, suspense, and romance with a great cast of characters.” —School Library Journal “An all-around kick-ass good time.” —Fyrefly’s Book Blog

Bleeding Hearts: From Passionate Activism to Violent Insurgency in Egypt examines the wave of violence that broke out in Egypt in the aftermath of the 2013 military takeover against the country’s first democratically elected president. Abdallah Hendawy sheds light on stories of several political activists who abandoned their commitment to nonviolence and took up arms against the state. Through multiple interviews, ethnographic observations, field work, and qualitative data analysis, Hendawy challenges the dominant theoretical paradigms on radicalization that often attribute this complex phenomenon to ideological or religious beliefs. Hendawy thoroughly examines the tumultuous events that followed the 2013 military takeover and the journey of several radicalized individuals. He demonstrates how and why select Egyptian activists turned to violent tactics in the course of their political engagement. The book ultimately concludes that repressive political environments, particularly the systematic authoritarian practices by state security agencies against political activists, are largely responsible for radicalization. Abusive state practices traumatized the activists and created a litany of unsettled grievances without recourse, giving rise to a formidable desire for revenge against those who violated them – both individuals and the institutions they represent.
