Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is their happily ever after nothing but a convenient fantasy? Everyone knows that Gracie’s fiancé died shortly before their wedding. What no one realizes is just how much better her life is without him—and the guilt she feels over that fact. Now she’s free to do whatever she wants--without having to accommodate his every need. She’s free. Too bad she’s also painfully lonely. Maybe that marriage of convenience her parents are so in favor of isn’t such a bad idea after all… Carson hasn’t been lucky where romance is concerned, either. But he needs to prove to his father that he’s ready to settle down if he plans to inherit the family business in the future. Marrying Gracie makes total sense—if she will just agree. The instant and irresistible pull of attraction he feels to her, however, is an entirely different story. With his track record, trusting his judgement—and his heart—would surely be a huge mistake…right? Can Gracie and Carson overcome the past hurts and trust issues that stand between them?

Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Best Translated Book Award Longlisted for the Believer Book Award Longlisted for the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation A Los Angeles Times Bestseller The English-language debut of an exciting young voice in international fiction, selling 660,000 copies in Japan alone, Convenience Store Woman is a bewitching portrayal of contemporary Japan through the eyes of a single woman who fits into the rigidity of its work culture only too well. The English-language debut of one of Japan’s most talented contemporary writers, selling over 650,000 copies there, Convenience Store Woman is the heartwarming and surprising story of thirty-six-year-old Tokyo resident Keiko Furukura. Keiko has never fit in, neither in her family, nor in school, but when at the age of eighteen she begins working at the Hiiromachi branch of “Smile Mart,” she finds peace and purpose in her life. In the store, unlike anywhere else, she understands the rules of social interaction—many are laid out line by line in the store’s manual—and she does her best to copy the dress, mannerisms, and speech of her colleagues, playing the part of a “normal” person excellently, more or less. Managers come and go, but Keiko stays at the store for eighteen years. It’s almost hard to tell where the store ends and she begins. Keiko is very happy, but the people close to her, from her family to her coworkers, increasingly pressure her to find a husband, and to start a proper career, prompting her to take desperate action… A brilliant depiction of an unusual psyche and a world hidden from view, Convenience Store Woman is an ironic and sharp-eyed look at contemporary work culture and the pressures to conform, as well as a charming and completely fresh portrait of an unforgettable heroine.

I asked my sister who still hadn't let Jordan's hand go. What a fool I was, they both were holding hands not just her. "I feel something more, I love him." She defended. "I love her too." Jordan's words echoed in my head. "She isn't your mate. I am." I argued. "No Lystra, she is my mate. I get to choose. I chose her."
