Still reeling from his father's break with the God of Israel, Prince Jonathan is in line to inherit a throne that has already been stripped from his family. The young shepherd David is the man after God's own heart, chosen to take Jonathan's place. Carrying a secret anointing that won't stay hidden, David yearns to fight alongside his childhood hero rather than against him, but his calling threatens both their lives at every turn. Instead of fighting to the death over a crown that can't belong to both of them, the two young warriors forsake rivalry and pledge themselves to a friendship forged in the passionate pursuit of the God who called them-both. Walk alongside two Biblical heroes as they embrace the will of God through a selfless covenant that would withstand the brutal tests of family jealousy and war-a friendship that would change history.

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK Once in a great while a writer comes along who can truly capture the drama and passion of the life of a family. David James Duncan, author of the novel The River Why and the collection River Teeth, is just such a writer. And in The Brothers K he tells a story both striking and in its originality and poignant in its universality. This touching, uplifting novel spans decades of loyalty, anger, regret, and love in the lives of the Chance family. A father whose dreams of glory on a baseball field are shattered by a mill accident. A mother who clings obsessively to religion as a ward against the darkest hour of her past. Four brothers who come of age during the seismic upheavals of the sixties and who each choose their own way to deal with what the world has become. By turns uproariously funny and deeply moving, and beautifully written throughout, The Brothers K is one of the finest chronicles of our lives in many years. Praise for The Brothers K “The pages of The Brothers K sparkle.”—The New York Times Book Review “Duncan is a wonderfully engaging writer.”—Los Angeles Times “This ambitious book succeeds on almost every level and every page.”—USA Today “Duncan’s prose is a blend of lyrical rhapsody, sassy hyperbole and all-American vernacular.”—San Francisco Chronicle “The Brothers K affords the . . . deep pleasures of novels that exhaustively create, and alter, complex worlds. . . . One always senses an enthusiastic and abundantly talented and versatile writer at work.”—The Washington Post Book World “Duncan . . . tells the larger story of an entire popular culture struggling to redefine itself—something he does with the comic excitement and depth of feeling one expects from Tom Robbins.”—Chicago Tribune

JACK Tragedy strikes, again. Four years after suffering the loss of our parents, our brother is murdered right alongside his beautiful wife, the devastation leaving their three children orphaned. Not only have I lost my brother but now I'm forced to take on his two kids and seventeen-year-old stepdaughter, Penelope. But Pen is far from the little girl I remember. No. She's all woman, with soft curves and plush lips-all things I shouldn't be noticing. I have three months before she turns eighteen. Three months before she leaves for college. And three months to make sure whatever threat against her life has been thwarted. Too bad for me, those three months will be nothing but torture laced with temptation, threatening to break my resolve. Can I come out of this unscathed, or will this lust drag me into the pits of hell where I belong? PENELOPE Lies, deceit, and death. It's all I've ever known. And trusting someone? Out of the question. Unfortunately, teenager me didn't get the memo and I stupidly gave my crush-riddled heart to Jack Crown. He was older, wiser, and apparently a manwhore. I was his brother's stepdaughter and way too young. Not on his radar, and justifiably so. But that didn't stop me from falling for the only man who'd ever shown me real affection. No. I let myself trust him, thinking he'd always be there. The one constant in my crappy life. I was wrong. Now, four years later, tragedy strikes again. By life's irony I've landed on his doorstep with only one thing to prove. I'm not the little girl he remembers, and I sure as f*ck don't need him anymore. Filthy Crown is a spin on the single dad age gap trope where Jack finds himself a new daddy after inheriting his brother's kids and strong-willed stepdaughter. Here's what to expect: ♛ Single Dad ♛ Steam ♛ Age Gap ♛ Forbidden Romance ♛ Happily Ever After
