Book excerpt: WINNER OF A 2019 RIPPED BODICE AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN ROMANCE “Herrera serves up high heat, serious social commentary, and laughs in perfect measure.” —Book Riot No one should have to choose between love and justice Haitian-born professor and activist Patrice Denis is not here for anything that will veer him off the path he’s worked so hard for. One particularly dangerous distraction: Easton Archer. The Assistant District Attorney who last summer gave Patrice some of the most intense nights of his life, and still makes him all but forget they’re from two completely different worlds. All-around golden boy Easton forged his own path to success, choosing public service over the comforts of his family’s wealth. With local law enforcement unfairly targeting young men of color, and his career—and conscience—on the line, now is hardly the time to be thirsting after Patrice again. Even if those nights have turned into so much more. For the first time, Patrice is tempted to open up and embrace the happiness he’s always denied himself. But as tensions between the community and the sheriff’s office grow by the day, Easton’s personal and professional lives collide. And when the issue at hand hits closer to home than either could imagine, they’ll have to work to forge a path forward...together.

Book excerpt: From international bestselling author, Lexy Timms, comes a forbidden romance that'll set your heart racing. When Tony Rivers left New York three years ago, he left behind two things. One was the off-Broadway musical he’d made a success through his choreography. The second was a piece of his heart. Fed up with Allison's secrets and cover-ups, he left her and The Big Apple. He’s now established on the Hollywood television scene as a dance coach and choreographer, though he aspires to direct. When he’s offered a plum position as director on a hot new series, a television mini based on the musical he worked so hard on, he has second thoughts. The price of admission—working with his old nemesis, Blake Smithson, who’s the scriptwriter. What blows Tony away is that Blake’s living with Allison. Allison never expected to see Tony Rivers again after her father dragged her away from college and forbade her to see Tony. When he arrived in New York four years later, he reawakened all the feelings she had for him. But she was married then, if only in name. Regardless, she fell into an affair with Tony, but refused to divorce her husband when Tony asked her to marry him. Though heartbroken when Tony left New York, Allison pulled her life together and built a career producing theater productions. Between that and raising her two-year old son, she has a full life. When Tony walks through her door once more three years later, she’s torn between hating and loving him. The one thing she does not want is to expose her son to the man who abandoned her, even if that child is Tony's own son. Can Tony and Allison untangle the hurts of the past to build a new future? Or will the challenges of their present lives cause their love to die forever? LOVE YOU SERIES: Love Life Need You My Love

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a dearth of multicultural literature in schools since few schools offer a curriculum that promotes multicultural education. However, by the year 2050, ethnic minority children will make up the majority of the United States public school classrooms. Multicultural literature is the building block of a multicultural education which reflects our nation’s diversity and helps all students learn by providing help to bridge the cultural gap, and promote racial awareness. Teachers often find it difficult to identify or find quality multicultural literature that adheres to the standard curriculum. Turning the Page: The Ultimate Guide for Teachers to Multicultural Literature helps educators find and evaluate multicultural books that are suitable for the classroom and align with the standard curriculum. The book includes a peer-reviewed metric that shows teachers how to substitute biased books with multicultural literature that endorse the same themes. Second, the book includes reviews, lesson plans, and curated book lists of multicultural books. Finally, the book offers a stepwise plan on how to create a task force of school stakeholders who can implement a comprehensive, multicultural program. In 2018, The National Association for Multicultural Education released standards for multicultural education to encourage school staff to become culturally competent and linguistically diverse. Turning the Page: The Ultimate Guide for Teachers to Multicultural Literature moves educators in that direction.
