The Dark Crescent Sisterhood #4 As Sybils—protector warrior “witches”—they control the Elements...But passion is a force that no one can contain. Captive to temptation, bound by desire... Even Bela Argos, a well-trained Sybil who must harness all of the magic of her warrior sisters, has found the new wave of supernatural attacks to be challenging. And on top of that, she is dealing with Duncan Sharp, the frustratingly sexy NYPD detective who has a small problem—he might,/i> into a demon in the middle of the night and consume Bela while she sleeps. But even the dark energy that fills Duncan can’t hamper the fiery attraction that Bela feels. The demon on Duncan’s back is the soul of a suspected serial killer. Even worse than his “hitchhiker” is the demonic fever that is threating to take over his body completely and overpower Bela in its wake. His only course is to get even with the demons who cursed his blood before it consumes Duncan’s soul, the city he’s trying so hard to protect, and the woman who has stolen his heart. “Fan favorite Windsor returns with a new trilogy set in the same universe as her Bound series. The world of the Dark Crescent Sisterhood remains troubled and a new threat is rising. The main characters here were secondary players in the previous books, and fans will be delighted by the update on former headliners. Windsor’s heroines are once again kicking butt and taking names, all for our enjoyment!” -RT Book Review

In the midst of the Cultural Revolution a Rebel Red Guard anonymously circulated an essay condemning the Chinese Party elite as a decadent, exploitative 'new red capitalist class'. The subversive yet truthful nature of the message stung the top Communist leadership in Beijing. Incredibly, the writer, Yang Xiguang, was only nineteen years old, a star high school pupil and the son of high-ranking Hunan officials. Denounced as a 'counterrevolutionary' by Chairman Mao himself, Yang was hunted down, arrested in 1968, and sentenced to ten years in prison. Captive Spirits is his remarkable story of life in the Chinese gulag during one of the most tumultuous periods of modern Chinese history.

A dark lesbian romance retelling of the Hades/Persephone abduction story, set in mythological ancient Greece. In the land of the dead, Queen Hades’ word is law. Hades gets what she wants—always—and what she wants is a certain goddess of the springtime. Innocent Persephone chafes beneath her mother’s hawkish gaze and mercurial temper. Demeter has rebuffed all her daughter’s suitors, but she is not yet satisfied; she strives to crush Persephone’s spirit. Still, when Hades pulls her into the dark realm of the underworld, Persephone longs for the world above, even if it means an eternity under her mother’s thumb. With her tears and pleas for freedom ignored by pitiless Hades, Persephone must learn to satisfy her keeper in all ways, lest she suffer the consequences. And though she cannot deny that something blooms within her, something forbidden, Persephone despairs of ever feeling the sun upon her skin once more. No matter the cost, Hades intends to keep her.
