There's nothing like a near death experience to make a guy reassess his life. And that's exactly what Logan McCabe decides to do, starting with looking up the girl he spent one wild night with eleven years ago, right before his life turned to crap. He spent a year fantasizing about her. Now he's ready to see how reality matches up. Abigail Parker is a perfectionist. She's only strayed from the straight and narrow once in her life, on her eighteenth birthday. It was supposed to be one wild night with a totally unsuitable man before she settled into her sensible future. Instead it changed her life forever. Logan might still be the sexiest man Abigail has ever seen, but a dirty-talking, tattooed, night club owner with a criminal record is the last thing she needs in her perfect life. He claims she's his fantasy girl, but what he doesn't know is she's also the mother of his ten-year-old daughter... Each book in the Things to do Before You Die series is STANDALONE: * His Fantasy Girl* Her Fantasy Husband* His Fantasy Bride

Winner of the 2020 William Saroyan International Prize for Writing A Best Book of the Year at BuzzFeed and the Times Literary Supplement"Croft writes with an extraordinary intensity that ensures this exceptional Bildungsroman will stay etched in the reader's mind for a very long time to come." Olga Tokarczuk, Nobel Prize-winning author of Flights"It's a complex portrait of a young Oklahoma woman's development of a rich and exacting interior life. It's also a visual love letter to family, language and self-understanding... Every page of this stunning and surprising book turns words around and around." --The New York Times "Croft's photos, mixed in with her text, create continuity between memoirist and protagonist, despite their differing names... They make Homesick into a translator's Bildungsroman, one in which art is first a beacon, then a home." --NPR The coming of age story of an award-winning translator, Homesick is about learning to love language in its many forms, healing through words and the promises and perils of empathy and sisterhood. Sisters Amy and Zoe grow up in Oklahoma where they are homeschooled for an unexpected reason: Zoe suffers from debilitating and mysterious seizures, spending her childhood in hospitals as she undergoes surgeries. Meanwhile, Amy flourishes intellectually, showing an innate ability to glean a world beyond the troubles in her home life, exploring that world through languages first. Amy's first love appears in the form of her Russian tutor Sasha, but when she enters university at the age of 15 her life changes drastically and with tragic results.

In At Home with a Dreamlike Earth, Steven Croft explores the natural beauty in his birth-state of Georgia, where his poems bring the reader to the lush coastal landscapes of the Barrier Islands and the nurturing comforts of Southern living."These poems paint pictures in which crooked oaken branches drape skeins of moss and pay homage to the quiet moments of life..."-Connie Jordan Green, author of Darwin's Breath"This chapbook lifted me, poem by poem, as gradually and gracefully as a Georgia high tide."-Gordon Johnston, author of Scaring the Bears and Where Here Is Hard to Say"Mythic in scope, layered with meaning, Steven Croft's poetry strips bare a deep longing for the places that live in memory, in history, in the dark soil. In this powerful collection Croft holds his compass still; it points us toward a wildness none of us can forget."-Janisse Ray, author of Red Lanterns

A Yorkshire orphan struggling for opportunity against 18th-century odds reluctantly transforms into a Venetian courtesan during the Empire's last days.Renna Covert dreams of a world beyond her Yorkshire life shelling cotton. Having an unlikely education, she hopes to be a maid or even a governess one day. On a fateful night, she meets two men from the West India Company with connections to a country estate and a way out of her urchin life. But before taking a position in the estate's scullery, Renna discovers a girl at the local asylum bearing burn scars like those on her back. She uncovers proof that the girl is her sister. But an unexpected foe disrupts her hunt to unearth her family's dark legacy and has Renna committed to the asylum. With her friends' help, Renna escapes to the Venetian Ghetto. Danielle, a former courtesan, takes Renna in, but only under the condition that she trains in the one profession Renna fought to avoid-prostitution. Renna's life transforms from an orphaned waif to a lavish courtesan. Although there are freedoms in her new world, Renna detests what she's become and longs for the family she's never known. She reaches her emotional breaking point when she learns of Danielle's aims to sell her into slavery. Having survived with only her wits, opportunity, and a bit of luck, Renna crafts a plan to leave Venice on Carnival night, possibly abandoning the freedom she's gained and the history she's yet to understand. She confronts the fiend behind her family's misfortune in her fight for independence. As Venice concedes to Napoleon in 1797, a life of agency is on the horizon, and Renna's prospects could catapult her out of poverty into an unimaginable future.THE CURSE OF MAIDEN SCARS is a coming-of-age, women's fiction novel with gothic flair set in the tradition of Victoria Mas' THE MADWOMAN'S BALL, and Sarah Dunant's IN THE COMPANY OF THE COURTESAN, with the sensuality of LADY CHATTERLEY'S LOVER.
