If only she weren&’t luring me back to a living nightmare…Ana: All my life, I&’ve fought to protect the helpless, but I never thought I would have to sacrifice my morals to save my little brother.

When the bot arrives, though, her hair is curlier than I selected, her skin is surprisingly soft, and she&’s curvier and more beautiful than I imagined. But do bots tremble at the lightest touch? Do they smell like a heady mix of flowers and hot, sweet blood, teasing my fangs to life? Technology is truly a marvel. Or is it?Twyla: Running from a forced engagement is terrifying. But I&’m backed into a corner, and my only escape is to crawl into a packing box for a bot modeled after me. It&’s certainly a panic move, but it got me out of one bad situation… And landed me right in the middle of another. At first, Cedra isn&’t the most welcoming sort, not when she presses a knife to my flesh and threatens to kick me out of her home. I come clean fast, pleading with her to let me stay and be her housekeeper. She&’s hesitant, but I can tell she&’s warming up to the idea… Something&’s flaring between us—fierce and urgent and insistent. And if these primal desires are mutual, maybe she&’ll be the one begging me to stay.New World Book 1: New World: Stay with MeBook 2: New World: Made for MeBook 3: New World: Own MeBook 4: New World: Breathe with MeBook 5: New World: Safe with Me

New Worlds, Old Ways: Speculative Tales from the Caribbean
by Peekash PressDiscover some of the best in speculative short fiction from the Caribbean's up-and-coming voices."The Caribbean has a powerful, modern tradition of fantastic literature that’s on full display in this anthology of original fiction by writers from Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, and Bermuda . . . None of these writers is likely to be familiar to American audiences, but all are worth getting to know. Readers who love the writing of Nalo Hopkinson, Tobias S. Buckell, and Lord herself will savor this volume.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred ReviewDo not be misled by the ‘speculative’ in the title. Although there may be robots and fantastical creatures, these common symbols are tools to frame the familiar from fresh perspectives. Here you will find the recent past and ongoing present of government and society with curfews, crime, and corruption; the universal themes of family, growth and death, love and hate; the struggle to thrive when power is capricious and revenge too bittersweet. Here too is the passage of everything—old ways, places, peoples, and ourselves—leaving nothing behind but memories, histories, and stories.This anthology speaks to the fragility of our Caribbean home, but reminds the reader that although home may be vulnerable, it is also beautifully resilient. The voice of our literature declares that in spite of disasters, this people and this place shall not be wholly destroyed.Read for delight, then read for depth, and you will not be disappointed.Brand-new stories by: Tammi Browne-Bannister, Summer Edward, Portia Subran, Brandon O’Brien, Kevin Jared Hosein, Richard B. Lynch, Elizabeth J. Jones, Damion Wilson, Brian Franklin, Ararimeh Aiyejina, and H.K. Williams.
