    Mara Williams is twenty-four years old, drowning in debt, and running out of time. Working double shifts at Mel's 24-Hour Diner on Flatbush Avenue while her mother Clara fights cancer at Kings County Hospital, Mara exists in that brutal space between survival and collapse-too proud to beg, too desperate to keep pretending the math works. When she crosses paths with Dominic "Dom" Reyes at a Crown Heights loft party, the attraction is immediate but the danger is undeniable. Dom controls drug territory across the neighborhood with a quiet ruthlessness that commands respect from men who fear nothing, yet something about Mara pulls at him in ways he hasn't allowed himself to feel in years. What begins as a transaction-Mara making courier runs to cover her mother's bills-slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. Crown Heights is their backdrop: its brownstones and bodegas, its soca music and territorial corners, its beauty and its blood. As the rival Haitian crew led by Jean-Baptiste Laurent pushes into Dom's territory and a childhood friend's obsession turns lethal, Mara finds herself caught between the woman she was raised to be and the woman survival has made her. Keisha, her best friend, is fighting her own battle against an abusive partner. A determined detective is building a case that could imprison everyone Mara loves. Crown Heights is a slow-burning interracial love story about the price of surviving a world designed to crush you-and what it costs to find redemption once you've already paid. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R.H.

    Rowan Hale didn't move to town to fall in love. She moved to disappear. After leaving behind a controlling home, a relationship that made her feel small, and a college degree she couldn't finish, Rowan starts over in a new town with only one steady thing in her life - her best friend and roommate, Mateo. Then she gets a job at Blue Hour Grill. The restaurant is loud, chaotic, and full of personalities bigger than she feels most days - especially Jax Moreno. Six-foot-something, sharp-smiled, and impossible to ignore, Jax carries herself like she's unbreakable. She teases Rowan. Reaches things Rowan can't. Looks at her like she sees more than she should. But Jax has her own past - and a habit of keeping people at arm's length. As Rowan slowly learns to take up space instead of shrinking, old wounds resurface, forcing her to decide who she wants to be - and who she's brave enough to choose. Because sometimes healing doesn't happen in grand gestures. Sometimes it happens after closing time.

    He wanted possession, not something whole. He wanted silence, not a voice. He wanted her dim, obedient, erased. But she got away. She didn't escape in a single moment. It was a slow burn-papers, prayers, poems. She left pieces of herself behind, but she gathered the ones that mattered. Now she glows. Not because she was rescued. Not because she was lucky. She glows because she chose herself. This is her story. Told in fragments. Told in fire. Told in the light he could never touch. Author's Note: This poem is the beginning of my story. I survived intimate partner abuse. I'm healing, writing, and glowing. Thank you for reading.

    Clementine, a young woman on the cusp of adulthood, is given a handwritten book by her mother, Beatrice Love. The book, titled The Orange History of Me, holds the unfiltered truth about their family's past-secrets that have shaped Clementine and her sister Cara's life in ways they never fully understood. As she reads, the narrative alternates between Beatrice's memories and Clem's memories and present-day struggles with identity, love, and forgiveness. Beatrice's story begins in Monroe, Jamaica, where she falls in love with a man she believes will be her escape from a childhood filled with instability. But her love story is not a fairytale-her husband, initially loving and attentive, slowly distances himself, drawn into an affair with the sharp-tongued and manipulative Miss Chin. The affair isn't just a betrayal-it catalyses a series of emotional and psychological battles that reshape Beatrice and her children's world. As Clem reads about her parents' marriage, her father's abandonment, and her mother's attempt at suicide, she is forced to confront her feelings of resentment and shame. Her mother's pain is laid bare in the pages, forcing Clem to see Beatrice not just as a mother but as a woman-flawed, broken, but ultimately fighting for her survival. Throughout the novel, Clem grapples with whether she can forgive her absent father, who now lives a different life, and Miss Chin, the woman who played a role in her mother's suffering. At the same time, she wrestles with her own emotions toward Chiang Jiang, Miss Chin's son, whom she once loved in childhood but now sees in a different light. In the end, The Orange History of Us is not just about the past-it is a story of rebirth. Beatrice and her children must decide whether to let their pain define them or use it as a foundation for something new.
