A sexy, enemies to lovers sports romance by New York Times bestselling author, Monica Murphy Asher Davis is many things to me. My first crush. My first kiss. And most importantly, the boy who's broken my heart more times than I can ever count. Yet there is something about the brooding bad boy that I can't resist. We're those people you see in high school who avoid eye contact with each other in the hallway, even though we know where the other is at all times. We're miserable when we're forced to work together in class, our gazes full of hatred. And we are also that couple you gossip about when they win homecoming prince and princess their sophomore year... The irony is not lost on me because I'm so far from being his princess. I'm the girl he toys with when he's bored. And he's definitely not my prince, no matter how badly I want him to be. The back and forth is what kills me the most. I'm equally torn between wanting to run to him and away from him, and he knows it. Finally it's our senior year and we're months away from never having to see each other again when disaster strikes-and brings us closer together. All it takes is one heated touch, and I'm burning for Ash. Hotter than I ever have. But will that burn turn into a devastating fire we can't come back from? Or can we actually make it work this time? Close to Me is book one in the standalone Callahans series.

The #1 New York Times–bestselling author and child abuse survivor reveals the challenges that he still faces as an adult, as a husband, and as a father. In the blockbuster autobiography A Child Called “It”, Dave Pelzer shared the story of his childhood—one of the most dramatic and extreme stories of child abuse ever prosecuted in the state of California. As a child, Pelzer was beaten, starved, and abused both emotionally and physically by his alcoholic and mentally unstable mother. As a man, Pelzer went on to have love, happiness, a fulfilling career, and a family of his own. To many, Pelzer seemed to have found his happy ending. But for a child abuse survivor, living a normal adult life carries challenges and complications above and beyond those faced by most people. This book, the fifth in Pelzer’s nonfiction series, provides an honest and courageous look at the difficulties inherent in marriage, parenthood, work, and life from the perspective of someone who survived horrific physical and emotional terrors as a child—and who seeks to meet the responsibilities and complications of adult life with love, strength, and an open heart.

Poetry. Alice Notley's two books collected here, CLOSE TO ME & CLOSER... and DESAMERE, are works that are wholly their art, meaning they occur as their language shape measure. She's invented a measure. The text is a rich current crossing, as at the moment of imagining, into being in death and in an expanded life. Notley transgresses conventional contemporary categories of genre; rather than genre, the form of the writing is the mind's inner sense and motion. "Alice Notley is, I think, the most challenging and engaging of our contemporary radical female poets...infused with uncommon verbal originality, intelligence and joyous playfullness, full of heart, intensity and wonder, provocatively addressing forever unsolved questions of form and identity, life and death, imagination and gender, Notley's poems are unsettling and inspiring"--the San Francisco Chronicle. Other Alice Notley titles available from SPD include ALMA, OR THE DEAD WOMEN; FROM THE BEGINNING; and WALTZING MATILDA.
