The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of A Woman Is No Man returns with a striking exploration of the expectations of Palestinian-American women, the meaning of a fulfilling life, and the ways our unresolved pasts affect our presents. Raised in a conservative and emotionally volatile Palestinian family in Brooklyn, Yara thought she would finally feel free when she married a charming entrepreneur who took her to the suburbs. She’s gotten to follow her dreams, completing an undergraduate degree in Art and landing a good job at the local college. As a traditional wife, she also raises their two school-aged daughters, takes care of the house, and has dinner ready when her husband gets home. With her family balanced with her professional ambitions, Yara knows that her life is infinitely more rewarding than her own mother’s. So why doesn’t it feel like enough? After her dream of chaperoning a student trip to Europe evaporates and she responds to a colleague’s racist provocation, Yara is put on probation at work and must attend mandatory counseling to keep her position. Her mother blames a family curse for the trouble she’s facing, and while Yara doesn’t really believe in old superstitions, she still finds herself growing increasingly uneasy with her mother’s warning and the possibility of falling victim to the same mistakes. Shaken to the core by these indictments of her life, Yara finds her carefully constructed world beginning to implode. To save herself, Yara must reckon with the reality that the difficulties of the childhood she thought she left behind have very real—and damaging—implications not just on her own future but that of her daughters.

A sexy, bad boy/good girl, fake dating, football romance from bestselling author Chelle Sloan GUIDE TO LOVE RULE #37: Fake it till you make it. Just don't fall in love. Ever since I can remember, I've always played it safe. I didn't take chances. I’m the quintessential good girl of the Banks family. At least, I was until Linc Kincaid walked into my life. Now I'm doing things I never thought I'd do. Getting drunk. Singing at karaoke bars. Kissing hot as sin football players for the world to see. One minute I'm a shy nurse whose biggest problem was that her ex-boyfriend was back in town. The next I’m fake dating the bad boy of the Nashville Fury. Because yeah…that happened. Linc and I didn't mean to get ourselves into this situation, but after pictures of our crazy night hit the internet, we agreed it was a genius plan: I needed help to keep my clingy ex-boyfriend away and he needed to clean up his image. A win-win. Plus, he was up front with me—he didn't do long term. And since I'm a forever kind of girl, there was no way I was going to fall in love with my fake boyfriend. Right? Wrong. So Wrong. In my defense, he started holding my hand for the cameras. And kissing my forehead. Calling me a swoony nickname that caused all the butterflies. But I was holding out. Being strong. Until he offered to give me spicy lessons in the bedroom. And I said yes. I guess that's what I get for taking chances. Now, somewhere along the way, I fell in love with my fake boyfriend. And there's no guide to love for that.
