📘 Book Summary
Five years ago, Nikki Caldwell’s world imploded when her father—beloved superhero The Eagle—broke his one rule and killed his archnemesis, Nightshade. Wracked with guilt, he vanished, leaving behind the teenage crime-fighting team he’d assembled… and a daughter burdened with a secret: the man he killed wasn’t Nightshade.
In the years that followed, Nikki buried her sidekick past. But when Nightshade resurfaces, it’s clear it’s with a deadly new plan: to eliminate every member of The Eagle’s former team. As time runs out, Nikki is forced to track down her estranged teammates who have scattered across the country, each trying to escape their past…and each other. Reconnecting means confronting old wounds, buried secrets, and the one truth none of them are ready for: everything they thought they knew about Nightshade was a lie, and the truth is darker than they expected.
Nikki thought she’d left that life behind.
But some legacies don’t die—they just wait for their moment.

This fire season, it’ll be their hearts catching sparks
As a Sierra hotshot firefighter, Logan ”Sonny” Sonelli is used to getting burned, especially when it comes to love. Regardless of a smokey outlook, he’ll push ahead, looking for the good fires, until he can chuck it all away and get his lone cabin in the woods. What he doesn’t need is a new neighbor who’s sunny, pretty, and obsessed with foxes.
After a messy breakup from her longtime boyfriend, River Alfaro is ready to claim her newfound freedom in South Lake Tahoe. She can’t wait to revel in her independence for the first time in her life. As a wildlife behaviorist, the only thing that remains elusive to her goals is spotting the endangered red fox in the wild.
When River discovers her new neighbor is a wildland firefighter, she’s eager to ask for his advice in her search. Except the hot guy next door is also a grump who has no interest in helping her. Feeling pressured by the rest of his crew, Logan begrudginglyagrees, only to be reminded of all the connections he’s been missing in his life and how much he truly needs it when doing one of the hardest jobs imaginable.

This season’s book is Keeper’s Reign by Eliza Leone. It’s a mild (fade-to-black or fully clothed) story, aimed more at an adult readership.
When Onnie's grandfather asked her to inherit his legacy, she wasn't expecting a magical bookshop, a talking cat with an attitude, and a town full of fantastical beings. Except that's exactly what she got.
Alku is a quaint town nestled in the forested mountains of the Pacific Northwest, and it carries with it secrets. Many of them. It's where the current Keeper protects and curates the world's written knowledge archive, and Onnie's elderly Grandfather happens to be the current one. The bookshop has chosen her to be next.
Onnie's tossed into the magical deep end but finds more allies than expected. A story about self-acceptance, family, and learning to lean on others, Keeper's Reign is the first part in a trilogy following the final Keeper and the dangers she faces.
Limited quantity. Ships mid-October.
