A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read "A powerful and urgent call to action—for the health and safety of half of our population, it’s time we rethink the male body ideal and build a world that includes us all.” —Dr. Elizabeth Comen, MD, medical oncologist, associate professor of medicine at NYU...

I'm getting engaged to a dangerous man. I'm scared, but I don't have a choice. It's the price I have to pay to save my family's legacy. I think all hope is lost. Then I meet a mountain man who sweeps me off my feet. For one night, I let him have me. It was supposed to end there. But it doesn't. The next time I see him, I'm wearing a ring. But my mountain man doesn't back down. Reign says that I'm his. And he promises to fight for me.

In the 1990s, strong-willed Irene Maxwell embarks on her path toward ordination as an Episcopal priest, confident in her calling but unprepared for the hidden obstacles she'll face. During a job interview with the dean of a cathedral-conducted uncomfortably in his car-he asks Irene questions, only to interrupt her responses by poking her leg, forcing her into silence. Even though women in the priesthood had become more acceptable by then, Irene soon discovers that gender biases haven't disappeared-they've simply gone underground, devolving into a form of guerilla warfare.

Avi Mulvaney is many things. Son. Twin. Owner of the fashion label, Gemini. Murderous psychopath. Together, he and his brother, Asa, make one brutally efficient monster, ridding the world of predators who victimize the innocent. History proves Avi and Asa don’t do well apart, but their father has decided to test that theory. Felix Navarro knows exactly who he is. Baby brother. Fashionista. Vigilante. While he’s not happy that his big brother married a Mulvaney, the union has its perks.

Adam’s identity IRL has been outed, and while he managed to stave off Levon’s initial assault, he can’t stay in New York City. He needs to leave before even more danger comes his way. The only place he can travel to is a city where the Pleonexia Alliance doesn’t have any power—Los Angeles, home to Daggerfall Dynasty.

I never knew what hit me. Rex stormed into my little world with two adorable twin boys and no apologies. Bearish. Short-fused. Consuming. Huge. Torturously gorgeous. Leave-your-heart-in-pieces wrong. Did I mention HUGE? He's instant trouble the second he checks into our lodge and my overprotective grandpa hires him. Then I catch him staring with that knowing ache in his eyes. I forget what trouble even means. He also needs a nanny. Sold.

It's finally happened. The one month grace period has expired, and Levon has declared a Guild War on Fayte's guild. Can Destiny's Overture defeat the Pleonexia Alliance? Can a guild of just seven win against a guild of several hundred thousand? Well, Adam has a few tricks up his sleeve, and they might be enough to guarantee victory. And yet the Guild War against the Pleonexia Alliance is not the only problem they are facing. Kidnappings, midnight assaults, and a dwelling of mystical creatures living deep beneath the Suncrest Mountain await Adam and his companions.

GAME ON! The time has come for Fayte to create a guild—the first one in Age of Gods. But creating a guild is a lot easier said than done, especially when the place Fayte wants to create hers is the most dangerous location currently within the game. Stampede. The term refers to an event that happens when humans leave the city and a horde of monsters gathers to attack them. It’s guaranteed to happen while their sect is being built, which means it is up to Adam, Aris, Fayte, Kureha, Lilith, Susan, and Titania to defend the construction workers while they build it.

Aris has come out of cryosleep. She begins her rehabilitation IRL and also begins playing Age of Gods. While she is leveling up to leave the Village of Beginnings, Adam and his party enter the ruins of a magic academy destroyed in ages past. Their goal is to find a hidden class for Fayte.

Ever since the signing of the World War III Armistice, the virtual world has become even more important than the real world. Adam does not care for the virtual world. His only concern is curing his terminally ill lover, but with Aris on the verge of death, he is running out of both time and hope.

Adam is the first person to reach level 10 and leave the Village of Beginnings, but before he can even reach the Sun Continent, the vessel he’s on is attacked by pirates!

Horror fans will get their thrills in this collection–from werewolves to vampires to zombies–all the time-worn horror baddies are there. But so are predators of a distinctly American variety–the horrors of empire, of intimate partner violence, of dispossession. And so too the monsters of Rogers’ imagination, that draw upon long-told Cherokee stories–of Deer Woman, fantastical sea creatures, and more.  

Man Made by Grace is a play on the concept of how to become a man of God and the grace that God has given to man. Acknowledging Christ in 1993 was a decision that at the time I believed that I did on my own, for myself, but nothing could have been farther from the truth. It is and was the awesome love of God that drew me into awareness of the need, but it was the foundation of love that prepared me for his grace.

Lysander Hawkley combined breathtaking good looks with the kindest of hearts. He couldn't pass a neglected wife without rushing to the rescue, which invariably led to ecstatic bonking, which didn't please their erring husbands one bit. Let loose among the neglected wives of the ritzy county of Rutshire, Lysander causes absolute havoc. But it is only when he meets Rannaldini, Rutshire's King Rat and a temperamental, fiendishly promiscuous international conductor, that the trouble really starts....

We're made to look passive, dissociated, and defeated. If we're not pot-bellied beer drinkers or egoistic morons, no one wants to watch the broadcast. What happened to John Wayne, Matt Dillon, and G.I. Joe? Men who knew their strengths, understood their roles, believed in hard-nosed Christian values. Well, they're not dead; in fact, they're alive and well buried inside each one of us, waiting to emerge like the heroes they are. All they need is a reminder of what our God-given nature is. It's time for us to go back to the very beginning and dissect exactly who we are as men.
