A story of secrets, body jumping, and the power of language, The Language of Liars is a poignant, thought-provoking new masterpiece from award-winning author of The Water Outlaws S. L. Huang. "Pitch-perfect science fiction about linguistics and consequences. This book destroyed me."-Yoon Ha Lee, New York Times bestselling author of Ninefox Gambit A New Scientist Best of 2026 Pick, an Amazon Best Science Fiction & Fantasy of April Pick, and a Most Anticipated Pick for Literary Hub | Book Riot | Shelf Reflection Speak another people's language. Know them. Become them. And discover you've destroyed them. In his training as a spy, Ro was warned: you will always be living a lie. Jumping into a Star Eater's mind in the first place requires a moment of perfect psychic connection, and he has studied all his life to comprehend their species. Admires them, respects them, is reverent at the idea of being one of them-the only species physiologically capable of mining the element needed for lightyear-spanning space travel. The species all others crave to know more of, but who have notoriously shared so very little. The species Ro's own small civilization, with its dwindling resources and withering reach, needs to know more about. It will feel real, his elders impressed upon him. It will never be real. But Ro's certainty runs deep: he will be different. Ro will not be an imposter hiding the truth of his past, because his heart will be one of them. He will be one of them. To understand is to become. It never occurs to him that the mere act of understanding can destroy.

Twenty-nine-year-old Lily Buckley planned to be happily married and in her dream job by now. Instead, she's been single since being left at the altar three years ago, and works at her local paper, writing stories about giant vegetables at the village fete and a dog who looks exactly like Chewbacca. Not quite what she was dreaming of. So when Lily's allowed to write her own column it's exactly what she's always wanted – except there's a catch. She has to do one thing every week that scares her then write about it. With encouragement from a sexy colleague – and adrenaline-junkie – Christopher, Lily agrees. From sky-diving to haunted houses, Lily is going to be pushed to her limit. And since heartbreak has left her afraid of falling in love again, her growing feelings for Christopher might be the thing to push her past it. But then her mum has a crisis, and Lily's column is the only thing keeping her – and her colleagues' – jobs afloat, and then Christopher's ex arrives with her sights set on a romantic reunion. Suddenly jumping out of a plane is the least of Lily's problems… Can she save her family, her friends, and her heart – or will she let her fears hold her back? An uplifting, feel-good story about friendship, romance, and finding the hero inside yourself. Fans of Marian Keyes, Mhairi McFarlane and Sophie Kinsella will love Colleen Coleman!

That's it, I can't stand it anymore! I've spent months trying to get Professor Logan Clark to notice me. I dress sexy, I gaze into his eyes, I lick my lips when he looks at me. I want to get him out of his classroom and out of his clothes for a little private, one-on-one tutoring… COURTNEY SHAW: I'm a smoking hot red head with a sex drive that would make a porn star blush and a major daddy complex. Older men are my thing, and lots of them have sampled the sweet treats I have in my panties. So why isn't Logan Clark jumping at the chance to be with me? Even after our little oral exam in the restroom he keeps pushing me away. Is this his idea of torture? Well, two can play at that game… LOGAN CLARK: Damn this girl, doesn't she understand that there are rules against professors having sex with students, no matter how smoking hot and sexy they are? She doesn't seem to care that screwing her could get me fired. I'm not going to risk my job just to have sex with her. No way. Not even after she drops a wet thong on my desk and shows up naked at my door. I've worked too hard to get where I am at this school. I'm not going blow it all for her. At least that's what I keep telling myself…

Cowboy romance? Umm, let's uno reverse that and go with cowgirl romance !' 'This book took everything from every book I ever loved and mashed it into one' She's Texas's toughest bull rider, and he's determined to win her heart. Dakota and Wyatt. Storm and sunshine. Growing up, they were as inseparable as a pair of cowboy boots. The best of friends - or so Dakota thought. Every summer, Wyatt would come home to his family's flower farm in Granite Falls, Texas, and they'd stargaze in the fields together, pinkies brushing, laughter rumbling with the cicadas . . . until one summer, he never returned. Dakota hasn't heard a peep from Wyatt in over three years, and during that time, a lot has changed. He's the hockey world's golden boy, and she's developed a reputation as "The Cowboy Killer," breaking both rodeo records and men's hearts. The last thing Dakota needs is a distraction from her bull-riding goals, but everything changes when her old friend waltzes back into town with an adorable baby on his hip. Wyatt's back to get the girl he's been obsessing over for years, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get her back - two-stepping at the rodeo, jumping into Cibolo Creek, even rendezvousing in outdoor showers. All Dakota wants is to keep her distance and focus on training, but when she learns the truth behind why Wyatt left, she finds it hard to stay away. . . The scorching Texas sun might not be the only thing that burns them this summer. Tropes: Second Chance Black Cat x Golden Retriever He Falls First 'I love cowboy romance, but I loved this take even more' 'This book literally squeezed my heart and made me feel all the feels!'
