“We love rainy days, don’t we, baby?”

Dominic King doesn’t want or need anything . . . except his freedom.

The key to his cage is tucked in the suit pocket of his overbearing, overprotective, older brother, Tobias — the leader of a secret vigilante group Dominic helps govern.

Their mission? Destroy Roman Horner. And what better way to start than with their target’s daughter?

The problem is, the moment Cecelia Horner arrives in Triple Falls, plans and motivations change. For Dominic, she’s a potent reminder that there’s still good in the world. With Tobias away for the summer, things start to quickly heat up until she’s not just a want, she’s a need. With the Ravenhood’s fate on his shoulders, Cecelia becomes Dom’s only solace, and a light for his tortured soul. Because he knows, better than anyone, that a choice is coming. And once the decision is made, there’ll be no coming back . . .

One Last Rainy Day is the first book deliciously steamy continuation of the internationally bestselling Robin Hood retelling that set Tiktok on fire. Kate Stewart's The Ravenhood Legacy series is an irresistibly edgy spin-off series shedding a new light on the secret, morally grey brotherhood – this time from the brooding and magnetic perspective of Dominic.

Natura non facit saltum Nature makes no such leap. Or does it? Prepare for a ride into worlds spawned by the evils of pride and science. An intense graphic tale describing man's ability to create and the horrendous circumstances for making bold choices. "Of dust and earth and bone I'm made. I rose and came, when called - obeyed."

The villain isn’t supposed to be king.

I have a simple plan. Finish Royal Elite School and get into my dream university.

Everything about Aiden King is black. Black mind. Black heart. Black soul. I should’ve remained quiet and endured the time I have left.

I didn’t.

I made the irrevocable mistake of provoking the king on his throne. The devil in his hell. And now, I’ll pay the price.

Being hated by Aiden King is dangerous. But being wanted by him is lethal.

A haunting tale of possession and exorcism, now reissued on the seventieth anniversary of the year of its writing, the definitive text of William S. Burroughs's early, long-unpublished novel, now a cult classic and a highly regarded part of his oeuvre Originally written in 1952 but not published till 1985, Queer is an enigma. Both an unflinching autobiographical self-portrait and a coruscatingly political novel, it is both Burroughs's only realist love story and a montage of comic-grotesque fantasies that paved the way for his masterpiece, Naked Lunch. Set in Mexico City during the early fifties, Queer follows William Lee, the protagonist of Burroughs's debut novel Junky, a man afflicted with acute heroin withdrawal and romantic yearnings for Eugene Allerton. As Lee breaks down over the course of his hopeless pursuit of desire from bar to bar in the American expatriate scene, the trademark Burroughsian voice emerges, a maniacal mix of self-lacerating humor and the ugly American at his ugliest. Now reissued on the seventieth anniversary of the year of its writing, this edition of Queer features a contextualizing introduction by the eminent Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris.

What s been the purpose of your life if not to love and be loved? That s the story of humanity, and the story of 665. The drama of finding, the needful hope in uncertainty, the dominance and submission, and the grinding within us all to become more together than we are alone. 665 TCT is all the ways we excel in our nobility and fail in our stupidity. It s about social justice and despite our beliefs, what we all share as human beings. Okay, admittedly, not all of us are human or at least all human or, well anyway there s other sides to the story. Twenty-six thousand years ago, an Aries named Adam, was selected to lead the first Council of Twelve. Adam made a decision that ignited the Great War between the Four Prime Evils and us all. Although formed to govern humanity, the Council only exists now to prevent its destruction. This is the story of the 665th Council. You ll laugh, cry, get angry, maybe annoyed and yet, come away enriched over a vortex of sensory engagement. You meet us all: An Asian family, two southern rednecks, a gay couple and Mark: half the Council of Twelve. We circled the world to find the others with the help of a few angels and demons.

No matter what you ve read in the past you haven t read anything like this. This historical fantasy autobiography is shamelessly erotic, hosting the most elegant and explicit sex in print today. It s drama, comedy, horror and epic fantasy, yet somehow, as familiar as humanity itself.
