Check out the great selection of books across a variety of genres below! I’m sure you’ll find something you’ll enjoy reading!​​​​

Enjoy and happy reading!

Ribbon of Dreams

A heartfelt coming-of-age novel set in 1970s Tennessee, Ribbon of Dreams explores identity, family, and hope as a young man faces love, loss, and change in a divided America.

Ribbon of Dreams is a coming-of-age story set in the rural American South as soldiers return from the Vietnam War, dealing with PTSD, grief, and African Americans strive for social justice.

In the spring of 1975, a teenager nicknamed Skid nears high school graduation in a small town in Tennessee. But as he prepares for the next chapter of his life, he begins to question the path laid out for him by his family and community.

Skid dreams of leaving his small town, but his widowed stepfather expects him to take over the family business of restoring vintage cars. With tensions rising between them, Skid struggles to find his identity after being swept up in a protest by African American students.

As he navigates the challenges of young adulthood, Skid discovers a passion for screenwriting and begins to see his town in a new light. Through his talent, he captures the beauty and complexity of rural America, from the rolling fields of corn to the worn faces of the town’s residents.

But as Skid prepares to leave for college, a tragedy strikes his community, forcing him to confront the harsh realities of life and the fragility of his dreams. In the aftermath, he must choose whether to stay and help rebuild his life or forge ahead on his path.

Set against the background of a violently evolving America, Ribbon of Dreams explores the power of friendship, the influence of memory, community, and self-discovery.

From the author of the critically acclaimed novels Gettysburg by Morning and The Farm, O’Brien’s latest novel transports readers to an America torn by years of political and social strife, family upheaval, and heartbreaking sorrow.

The Golem’s Holocaust

A girl clings to hope in a world built to destroy it—and a legendary guardian rises from myth to protect her. The Golem’s Holocaust is a haunting, unforgettable fusion of history and folklore, where courage, memory, and the human spirit are the ultimate acts of resistance.

A young Jewish girl. A protector born of ancient legend. A fight to stay alive in a world torn apart by war.

In The Golem’s Holocaust, Scott Eveloff reimagines the Jewish myth of the Golem in a deeply moving tale set against the horrors of Nazi-occupied Europe. When Shayna is torn from her family and thrust into the brutal reality of a concentration camp, her world narrows to one simple hope: survival. But just as all light seems lost, something stirs from legend—a guardian shaped from clay, bound to protect, and driven by a force beyond reason.

As Shayna and the Golem form a fragile, powerful bond, she learns that staying alive means more than enduring pain. It means holding on to identity, to memory, and to the flicker of hope no matter how faint. Together, they navigate a landscape where myth and memory intertwine, where every small act of defiance matters, and where love and loyalty carry a terrible, beautiful weight.

Blending historical fiction with Jewish folklore, The Golem’s Holocaust is a story of heartbreak and strength, of impossible choices and quiet courage. As Shayna faces the darkest parts of human history, she must decide what kind of person she will become—and how far she’s willing to go to save what matters most.

Revelation 

Jordan Nash is a bon vivant par excellence.
Or actually: was a bon vivant.
When he is officially declared dead by the authorities, his life turns into a nightmare.

Determined to prove his existence, he stumbles upon the mysterious Dead People Association. A club where people like Jordan, who have been erased from government records, gather. Or… so he thought.

Because not everyone in the group turns out to be alive. Some are ghosts, trapped between two worlds, desperately seeking passage to the afterlife. These are the ones Jordan can still live with…

But those others… The others are apparitions that have clung to the land of the living in sinister ways, sometimes for centuries. They will stop at nothing to force Jordan to help them stay here.
As Jordan balances on the edge of two worlds, he discovers that some boundaries cannot be crossed without danger.

Do you dare to follow him into the shadow world of twilight death?

A Billionaire’s Infatuation

Remi McMillian used to believe in plans: finish school, build her career, and never let love get in the way.

After a brutal betrayal, Remi leaves North Carolina for a fresh start in New York with a guarded heart and a job she refuses to lose. Becoming the personal assistant to billionaire business mogul Tony St. Clair wasn’t part of the plan, especially when he’s arrogant, demanding, and entirely too attractive for her peace of mind.

Tony St. Clair doesn’t believe in love. Control is what he understands, and distance is how he protects himself. But Remi—unfiltered, unimpressed, and immune to his wealth—gets under his skin fast. She challenges him. Pushes back. Makes him want more than he ever intended. And when a business trip to Chicago ends with a hotel mix-up and only one bed, the tension between them ignites, revealing a man who is protective, intense, and impossible to ignore. But attraction isn’t the same as trust.

As secrets from Tony’s past begin to surface, Remi must decide if risking her heart again is worth the promise of something real, or if walking away is the only way to protect herself from another devastating mistake.

A Billionaire’s Infatuation is a spicy African American billionaire romance featuring forced proximity, opposite attracts, a guarded alpha hero, emotional tension, a strong heroine, and the risk of love when safety feels easier.

If you love powerful men brought to their knees by the one woman they can’t control, start reading today.
