    Maddie Townsend might live in a town called Serenity but there’s been nothing calm or peaceful about her life since her marriage broke up.

    This stay-at-home mom has no job skills, an out-of-control sixteen-year-old son, a talkative fourteen-year-old who’s suddenly gone silent, a six-year-old daughter whose heart is broken, an ex-husband whose younger girlfriend is expecting their baby and two best friends who think she’s somehow qualified to help them open a fitness spa for women.

    Elim Garak has ascended to Castellan of the Cardassian Union…but despite his soaring popularity, the imminent publication of a report exposing his people’s war crimes during the occupation on Bajor looks likely to set the military against him.

    Into this tense situation come Dr. Katherine Pulaski—visiting Cardassia Prime to accept an award on behalf of the team that solved the Andorian genetic crisis—and Dr. Peter Alden, formerly of Starfleet Intelligence.

    The two soon find themselves at odds with Garak and embroiled in the politics of the prestigious University of the Union, where a new head is about to be appointed. Among the front-runners is one of Cardassia’s most respected public figures: Professor Natima Lang. But the discovery of a hidden archive from the last years before the Dominion War could destroy Lang’s reputation.

    As Pulaski and Alden become drawn into a deadly game to exonerate Lang, their confrontation escalates with Castellan Garak—a conflicted leader treading a fine line between the bright hopes for Cardassia’s future and the dark secrets still buried in its past…

    The WRONG Brother: A Friends to Lovers Romantic Comedy (Love You Forever Book 1) Rock bottom has a basement—and I just found it.

    I’ve been head over heels, write it in my diary over and over in love with my best friend Preston Young, pretty much my entire life.

    You’d think after decades of hiding my feelings I’d want to reveal my lifelong secret love to my best friend privately, but NOPE. As the queen of ridiculously grand romantic gestures, I chose a Jerry Springer style television reveal.

    I’ll spare you the anxiety inducing details and just say, it didn’t work out the way I thought it would… Cue crawling into a deep dark hole of wine, ice cream and sad ass movies. I’m never showing my face again.

    Okay, so maybe he stormed off the stage and rejected me on live television.
    And maybe when his older brother came over to comfort me…I kissed him. So much for getting my act together.

    One minute I’m pining for my best friend, the next I’m falling for his brother. And to make matters worse…now my best friend thinks he might be in love with me?

    I didn’t know it was even possible to screw up this bad.

    Frank Li has two names. There’s Frank Li, his American name. Then there’s Sung-Min Li, his Korean name. No one uses his Korean name, not even his parents. Frank barely speaks any Korean. He was born and raised in Southern California.

    Even so, his parents still expect him to end up with a nice Korean girl–which is a problem, since Frank is finally dating the girl of his dreams: Brit Means. Brit, who is funny and nerdy just like him. Brit, who makes him laugh like no one else. Brit… who is white.

Desperate to be with Brit without his parents finding out, Frank turns to family friend Joy Song, who is in a similar bind. Together, they come up with a plan to help each other and keep their parents off their backs. Frank thinks he’s found the solution to all his problems, but when life throws him a curveball, he’s left wondering whether he ever really knew anything about love—or himself—at all.

Not to mention the fact that I was now able to stick my nose into other people’s business for a good cause, find a murderer, and pick up helpful tips from an incredibly attractive detective…
