Parable of the Sower is the Butlerian odyssey of one woman who is twice as feeling in a world that has become doubly dehumanized. The time is 2025. The place is California, where small walled communities must protect themselves from hordes of desperate scavengers and roaming bands of people addicted to a drug that activates an orgasmic desire to burn, rape, and murder. When one small community is overrun, Lauren Olamina, an 18 year old black woman with the hereditary train of "hyperempathy"—which causes her to feel others' pain as her own—sets off on foot along the dangerous coastal highways, moving north into the unknown.

I've spent my whole life riding things that want to kill me. The most dangerous ride of all? Chasing the woman who broke my heart across a war zone to bring her home. My name is Ace Sterling. Six years texting a woman who never replies. Every birthday. Every Christmas. Every night I'm drunk enough to confess and sober enough to hit send. Harper Jones - my Goldie - she stole my heart, crushed it, and drove away to Los Angeles without looking back. Or so I thought. Turns out she's been protecting my family from the shadows, loving me in silence while I believed she didn't. Now she's back in New Falls with secrets that could ignite a war between two of the most dangerous mafia families in the country. Then I find her tied up in my cousin's barn... another man's ring on her finger. I don't believe it. I won't. Because she's mine. And now...this is war. Unleashed is a standalone romance, but part of the Beneath the Reign series, where each book follows one of the brothers in the Sterling family. This story is Ace & Harper.

Irene Redfield is a Black woman living an affluent, comfortable life with her husband and children in the thriving neighborhood of Harlem in the 1920s. When she reconnects with her childhood friend Clare Kendry, who is similarly light-skinned, Irene discovers that Clare has been passing for a white woman after severing ties to her past-even hiding the truth from her racist husband. Clare finds herself drawn to Irene's sense of ease and security with her Black identity and longs for the community (and, increasingly, the woman) she lost. Irene is both riveted and repulsed by Clare and her dangerous secret, as Clare begins to insert herself-and her deception-into every part of Irene's stable existence. First published in 1929, Larsen's brilliant examination of the various ways in which we all seek to 'pass,' is as timely as ever.

The Masculine Woman in America, 1890-1935 examines how the suffrage movement's efforts to secure social and political independence for women were translated by a fearful society into a movement of unnatural "masculinized" women and dangerous "female sexual inverts." Scrutinizing depictions of the masculine woman in literature and the popular press, Laura L. Behling explicates the literary, artistic, and rhetorical strategies used to eliminate the "sexually inverted" woman: punishing her by imprisonment or death; "rescuing" her into heterosexuality; subverting her through parody; or removing her from society to some remote or mystical place. Behling also shows how fictional same-sex relationships in the writings of Henry James, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Gertrude Stein, and others conformed to and ultimately reaffirmed heterosexual models. The Masculine Woman in America, 1890-1935 demonstrates that the women's suffrage movement did not so much suggest alternatives to women's gender and sexual behavior as it offered men and women afraid of perceived changes a tangible movement on which to blame their fears. A biting commentary on the insubstantial but powerful ghosts stirred up by the media, this study shows how, though legally enfranchised, the new woman was systematically disfranchised socially through scientific theory, popular press illustrations, and fictional predictions of impending sociobiological disaster.

Then Hosaka Corporation reactivates him, for a mission more dangerous than the one he’s recovering from: to get a defecting chief of R&D—and the biochip he’s perfected—out intact.

But while deep in the forest, they encounter a beautiful and mysterious woman.

Will this encounter be the key to opposing the Divine Voice? And could that bring Illusia closer to finally learning about its true intentions?!

Her mother makes a decision: Mary will become Mark, and Ma will continue to collect his inheritance money.
