After having her idea stolen and turned into a blockbuster series by her ex-writing mentor, Sutton St. Clair, all Bianca Lindow-Platt wants is to plot her Biker Smut Book #14, collect her check, and pay her mortgage.
But when Sutton dies suddenly, leaving the writing of the last, desperately in-demand book to Bianca in her will, Bianca is saddled with bigger problems:
Paisley, Sutton’s die-hard fan/assistant who was left out of the will—and definitely holds a grudge against anyone who was “honored.”
Carson, Sutton’s estranged son, who has been traumatized by his mother’s books (who names a romance hero after their child?!) and now must settle the estate, determined to hate anyone connected to the cursed, viral series.
And Sutton herself, back from the dead and determined to back-seat-haunt her masterpiece—and Bianca—while fixing the mistakes she made with the people in her life.
Now, Bianca must come to terms with the true meaning of “the end” and what it means to move on.

SMALL KINGDOMS by Rebecca Flint Marx
In 1993, 15-year-old Ellie Stein watches her unflappable mother drop their dinner after hearing a news report about the death of a famous photographer. Jessamyn’s reaction sparks Ellie’s curiosity about her mother’s past life in New York, but digging into her mother’s secrets means unearthing a truth she never could’ve imagined.
In 1973, 21-year-old Jessamyn Stein hitchhikes from Michigan to New York and finds herself working in the music clubs of lower Manhattan, then as an in-demand fashion model. But as Jessamyn tries to make her way in the city, violence marks her days. She finds unexpected reprieve in a charming man who rescues her from a mugging—but she soon realizes he comes with dangers of his own.
Set between 1990s Ann Arbor, Michigan, and 1970s New York—and culminating in the historic summer of 1977 NYC blackout—SMALL KINGDOMS is an extraordinary dual coming-of-age novel for fans of Coco Mellors, Lily King, and Ann Packer.

THE SUICIDE MOTOR CLUB by Christopher Buehlman
Remember that car that passed you near midnight on Route 66, doing 105 with its lights off? You wondered where it was going so quickly on that dark, dusty stretch of road, motor roaring, the driver glancing out the window as he blew by.
Did his greedy eyes shine silver like a coyote’s? Did he make you feel like prey? You can’t remember now.
You just saw the founder of the Suicide Motor Club. Be grateful his brake lights never flashed. Be grateful his car was already full.
They roam America, littering the highways with smashed cars and bled-out bodies, a gruesome reflection of the unsettled sixties. But to anyone unlucky enough to meet them in the lonely hours of the night, they’re just a blurry memory.
That is—to all but one . . .
Two years ago, they left a witness in the mangled wreck of her family car, her husband dead, her son taken. She remembers their awful faces, despite their tricks and glamours. And she’s coming for them—her thirst for vengeance even more powerful than their hunger for blood.
On the deserted highways of America, the hunters are about to become the hunted . . .
