NATIONAL BESTSELLER. The first in the Kopps Sisters Novel Series, Girl Waits with Gun is an enthralling novel based on the forgotten true story of one of the nation’s first female deputy sheriffs. Constance Kopp doesn’t quite fit the mold. She towers over most men, has no interest in marriage or domestic affairs, and has been isolated from the world since a family secret sent her and her sisters into hiding fifteen years ago. One day a belligerent and powerful silk factory owner runs down their buggy, and a dispute over damages turns into a war of bricks, bullets, and threats as he unleashes his gang on their family farm. When the sheriff enlists her help in convicting the men, Constance is forced to confront her past and defend her family — and she does it in a way that few women of 1914 would have dared. A New York Times Editors' Choice “A smart, romping adventure, featuring some of the most memorable and powerful female characters I've seen in print for a long time. I loved every page as I followed the Kopp sisters through a too-good-to-be-true (but mostly true!) tale of violence, courage, stubbornness, and resourcefulness.”—Elizabeth Gilbert

A taut and subtle family drama from France. A little girl lives happily with her mother in war-torn Paris. She has never met her father, a prisoner of war in Germany. But then he returns and her mother switches her devotion to her husband. The girl realizes that she must win over her father to recover her position in the family. She confides a secret that will change their lives. Why Peirene chose to publish this book: 'This is a poetic story about a girl's love for her father. Told from the girl's perspective, but with the clarity of an adult's mind, we experience her desire to be noticed by the first man in her life. A rare examination of the bonds and boundaries between father and daughter.' Meike Ziervogel 'A delicate, discreet novel. Like its little heroine. Impressive.' Sud Ouest Dimanche 'Sizun's beautifully controlled and simple story captures the surprisingly clear gaze of a little girl who discovers how adults excel in the art of concealment.' Le Nouvel Observateur 'This story brings to mind, like a slap in the face, our forgotten childhood memories. We remember the way adults fail to hear the tiny cries of the heart.' Marie Claire

While western-derived legal codes have superseded Islamic law in many parts of the Muslim world, Islamic, Koran-based law still retains its force in the area of marriage and family relations, the area that is key to the status of women. This work makes available for the first time in English three compilations of responses to questions about family law given by two prominent Muslim jurists of the ninth century (third century of Islam)—Ahmad b. Hanbal, the eponymous founder of the Hanbali rite of Sunni Islam (the one dominant in Saudi Arabia), and Ishaq b. Rahwayh. These compilations are basic sources for the study of the development of legal thinking in Islam. The introduction to the translation locates the compilations in a historical context and elucidates how the various issues of family law are treated. An appendix contains a collation of the significant variants among the manuscripts and printed versions of the Arabic texts. The volume concludes with a topical index and an index of names.

When Zoë Norton Lodge was growing up in Annandale in the eighties and nineties, the self-proclaimed Heartland of the Inner West was a heady brew of somewhat maladjusted and genuinely unsettling residents. But Annandale was changing. New words like ‘architect’ and ‘labradoodle’ drifted out of the overabundance of cafés – and eventually entire weeks would go by with no backyard bomb explosions. These stories of neighbourhood warfare, unsound relations, quashed dreams and facial disfigurement are told with Norton Lodge’s characteristic comic verve and eye for absurdity: encounter Greek grandparents whose decades-long resentment turns a colander into a weapon; a petrol-sodden Mamma; children sent to school with cat-food sandwiches; ‘distressed’ furniture; flying babies and other suburban wonders.

This first book in Rosanne Bittner’s popular Savage Destiny series tells the powerful love story of 15-year-old Abigail Trent, who is traveling west with her family; and a very rugged plainsman, Zeke Monroe, the half-Cheyenne guide who wins Abbie’s heart as they journey through an untamed land beset with Indians, outlaws and nature’s harsh challenges. Although Zeke and Abbie come from very different worlds, violence and personal loss bring them together in unexpected ways, including a very poignant situation that involves Abbie’s little brother. By journey’s end, Abbie has changed from an innocent young girl to a strong woman whose courage and determination to survive make her the perfect woman for the sometimes violent Zeke, whose past and upbringing make him a challenge only Abbie’s love and personal faith can overcome. Sweet Prairie Passion is the beginning of many more stories about this unforgettable couple and their life together as they face the perils of settling America’s Old West and learn that love can conquer anything. PRAISE: “Power, passion, tragedy, and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —Romantic Times “Extraordinary…Bittner’s characters spring to life.” —Publishers Weekly

One moment in time was all it took... the mirror started it all. One moment in time changed everything. The world as we knew it unraveled when portals were opened to the multiverse, leaving Earth vulnerable to attack. In exchange for opening these portals, our government granted the shifters from other worlds something they desperately needed – mates. Includes books 1-3 Shifted Reality One moment in time was all it took... the mirror started it all In the multi-verse worlds of werewolves and other shifters, one fateful moment changed everything for Angelique. When Rogan, the alpha of the pack, stepped through a magicked looking glass to claim her as his fated mate, her life changed forever. She doesn't know him, but he looks eerily familiar to the alpha in her successful wolf-shifter romance novels. When they enter another reality in the multiverse, can Angelique find true happiness? Or will she somehow be pulled back through the looking glass? Shifted Existence One moment in time was all it took... You have two options. Surrender or run. When the government opened the portals to the multiverse, everything changed. The shifters that came through the portals needed mates. Earth’s females became the spoils of war. They have given us two options. Those that run are declared feral. Bailey chose to run rather than surrender. Talon, Alpha of the Storm Rift Pack, had never expected to return to Earth but the mirror has shown him his fated mate – Bailey, a feral on Earth. With the fate of two universes hanging in the balance, will they be able to find a way to be together? Shifted Dimension One moment in time was all it took... her digital world collides with reality. Gage and Chance never expected to find each other in the digital realm of a post-apocalyptic game. Gage, a game designer, finds herself face-to-face with the hero from the world she has created. Chance, a warrior from a splintered universe, uses the looking glass to enter her world. He entices Gage to go back with him through a mirror and help fix what is destroying his world. When Gage discovers that it's her own actions that caused their universe to splinter, she's left with a choice: to go back and fix her mistakes, or watch Chance’s world implode. With the fate of two dimensions in their hands, can they save his universe before it disappears for good? If you enjoy paranormal science fiction romance, you’ll love this box set. 1-Click it today!
