Book 4 in The Darling Brothers series, featuring Remi. Coming July/August 2026.

From Yale professor and bestselling author of How Fascism Works, a searing confrontation with the authoritarian right’s efforts to annihilate public education, silence teachers, and use taxpayer money to undo a century of work to advance social justice action on race, gender, sexuality, and class.Combining historical research with an in-depth analysis of our modern political landscape, Erasing History issues a dire warning for America and the the worst fascist movements of humanity’s past began in schools; the same place so many of today’s right-wing political parties have trained their most vicious attacks. Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, Vladimir Putin, Turkey’s Recip Erdogan, and Argentina’s Javier Milei have all reached the same if you want to roll back the clock on civil rights, equity, and inclusion, a great place to start is in our schools. Yale professor Jason Stanley exposes the true danger of the right’s tactics and traces their inspirations and funding back to some of the most dangerous ideas of human history. He shows that hearts and minds are won in our elementary schools, high schools, and universities—and that governments are currently ill-prepared to do the work of uprooting fascist policies being foisted upon our children through school boards, in courtrooms, and in the boardrooms of the companies trusted to train our teachers and create the materials they’ll share with their students. Deeply informed and urgently needed, this book is a vibrant call to action for lovers of democracy worldwide.

In the midst of a California wildfire, two opposites find that their only hope for survival is each other. This was Shane’s worst nightmare—a wildfire that threatened the California mountain town where his grandfather lived. He had to get Pops out of there. Thank God for the young firefighter they assigned to him at the barricade. With the handsome but oh-so-butch Mike Canali along for the rescue mission, everything would be okay. Or at least that’s what Shane kept telling his inner drama queen. This wasn’t the time to panic! Mike had been on the job with Cal Fire for only two weeks, but he came from a big Italian family full of firefighters, so he recognized serious trouble when he landed in it along with the flamboyant gay guy named Shane, and Shane’s crotchety grandfather. Trapped, with no way to escape, Mike had to come up with a plan to save their lives—and the lives of all the other drivers stuck on the road. One day can change the course of a life—especially when that day involves surviving an inferno. Even two opposites can find they’re stronger together. When the superficial is burned away, what’s left is what’s real—true bravery, the true self, and, maybe, true love.

I need to stop crushing on the hot new guy. Asking him to move in with me is the last thing I should do. Ian My main goal for sophomore year is to survive with my bruised, rejected heart intact. That looks a lot like avoiding anything that could hurt me, at least until Callum Cross shows up.

Sure, all signs point to Callum being straight, but nobody’s had his back before, and there’s nothing stopping us from just being friends. What makes things complicated is that Callum is exactly my type, and when he ends up crashing on my couch, there’s no escaping how much I’d rather have him in bed.
