And soon the heat between them grows to something neither can ignore, something that burns much hotter than warfare. But nothing is simple in the struggle for Ceratas. There are those who wish to use Aidan to destroy both Torin and his country. When both of them are captured, used against each other to break their wills, Aidan and Torin must find the strength to trust each other in a way neither finds easy, if they’re to save each other—and their country… Reader Discretion: contains male/male love , gay fantasy romance, and intense emotional elements

"You have to bear in mind that [Questlove] is one of the smartest motherf*****s on the planet. His musical knowledge, for all practical purposes, is limitless." --Robert Christgau A punch-drunk memoir in which Everyone's Favorite Questlove tells his own story while tackling some of the lates, the greats, the fakes, the philosophers, the heavyweights, and the true originals of the music world. He digs deep into the album cuts of his life and unearths some pivotal moments in black art, hip hop, and pop culture. Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson is many things: virtuoso drummer, producer, arranger, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon bandleader, DJ, composer, and tireless Tweeter. He is one of our most ubiquitous cultural tastemakers, and in this, his first book, he reveals his own formative experiences--from growing up in 1970s West Philly as the son of a 1950s doo-wop singer, to finding his own way through the music world and ultimately co-founding and rising up with the Roots, a.k.a., the last hip hop band on Earth. Mo' Meta Blues also has some (many) random (or not) musings about the state of hip hop, the state of music criticism, the state of statements, as well as a plethora of run-ins with celebrities, idols, and fellow artists, from Stevie Wonder to KISS to D'Angelo to Jay-Z to Dave Chappelle to...you ever seen Prince roller-skate?!? But Mo' Meta Blues isn't just a memoir. It's a dialogue about the nature of memory and the idea of a post-modern black man saddled with some post-modern blues. It's a book that questions what a book like Mo' Meta Bluesreally is. It's the side wind of a one-of-a-kind mind. It's a rare gift that gives as well as takes. It's a record that keeps going around and around.
In this modern New York fairytale, a Quiet Prince sets out to save his long-lost love from the schemes of an evil ex. But it will take more than true love's way overdue kiss to break this social media curse. Stella Knight is a talented programmer, a brilliant video game designer, and has a lifelong habit of telling powerful people where they can stick it. This time, it's her lying, duplicitous, code-stealing boyfriend, Mal... who also happens to be her boss. Now she's out of a job, a home, and any chance of future employment as rumors that she's the thief spread through the gaming community. When her old friend Ashton Prince makes her an offer, Stella is desperate enough to take a job from the first love she never got over. Ashton Prince is the steady brother in the Prince family. He runs a cybersecurity company, never takes unnecessary risks, and, according to his brothers, is boringly predictable. He's also spent the last fifteen years quietly, deeply, and hopelessly in love with his best friend from high school. When he discovers she needs help, sees a way to fill a void in his company, and have her back in her life-it's a temptation he doesn't want to resist. But working together comes with its own set of challenges. Stella is determined to prove her critics wrong, and Ash knows her situation is too precarious to tell her how he truly feels. But the more time they spend together, the hotter the torches they're both carrying burn. To rise above the thorny limits set by their shared past, Ash and Stella must face what they really mean to each other. Will their love set them free or will it burn everything they've both built to the ground?
