Book excerpt: The only woman in the Bible who is noted to have loved a man, Queen Michal was King David's childhood sweetheart, his first wife, and daughter of his great friend and greater enemy, King Saul. Married to and then abandoned by David at age 14, Michal is forced to marry him again and become his first queen ten years later. Thrown into transition and turmoil, Queen Michal resists the ambition and greed that have become integral to David's personality and kingship. Acting nobly as his queen, but refusing to compromise her soul, Michal is drawn in friendship to the women in the king's court. Among his concubines and mistresses is Bathsheba, who becomes the mother of David's son, Solomon. In Queenmaker, Michal emerges as a wise and loving woman whose female family sustains her and establishes the spiritual foundation of the entire kingdom. Queenmaker depicts in unforgettable detail the characters of one of the greatest periods in Biblical history-their public deed and private thoughts-and gives readers the court of the kings as only a woman could see it.

Book excerpt: The first biography of Missy Meloney, the most important woman you've never heard of Marie "Missy" Mattingly Meloney was born in 1878, in an America where women couldn't vote. Yet she recognized the power that women held as consumers and family decision-makers, and persuaded male publishers and politicians to take them seriously. Over the course of her life as a journalist, magazine editor-in-chief, and political advisor, Missy created the idea of the female demographic. After the passage of the 19th Amendment she encouraged candidates to engage with and appeal to women directly. In this role, she advised Presidents from Hoover and Coolidge to FDR. By the time she died in 1943, women were a recognized political force to be reckoned with. In this groundbreaking biography, historian Julie Des Jardins restores Missy to her rightful place in American history.

Book excerpt: Raised the daughter of an indentured servant, Thana Leoram has brought King Keiran Sipesh to his knees. The vampire is willing to break the law to pursue their forbidden love, and she is ready to give in to her desires. Before they get the chance, though, word of an invasion by the Sador Empire arrives. The young and untested king marches off to war, leaving Thana behind. However, Thana’s mother will do anything to stop her daughter’s relationship with the vampire, and with him gone, a plan is put into motion that will force Thana from the castle in fear for her life. Not knowing who else to trust, Thana flees to find Keiran, following him into the fray. Though she only sought sanctuary, she becomes the central prize of the war itself. A Sadori general realizes Thana is far more precious than Tordania’s coal. She will offer him a route to glory, and the painful truth of her very existence will be laid bare. She will have to choose between a life of luxury in the hands of her Sadori captors or risk her life in an escape to return to the vampire she loves.

Book excerpt: Everything changed when I crashed into a food truck.It all started with a brutal hill. An incline that I was determined to crest. One, long, punishing climb with my thighs screaming as I pumped the pedals for all I was worth. That hill could have been a metaphor for my whole life. I was climbing out of the crater left by a broken heart, ready to seize control again. Making it up that hill was a good first step.Then I hit the food truck.Enter Reese Riley, blond, gorgeous, stunning sapphire eyes and the kind of smile to set my blood on fire. No way he was real. With charm to spare, he walked me home and then asked me out. Then he introduced me to his friends-Briggs, Goran, and Dalton. Stunning men, all of them. Funny, too. They flirted, they teased, and they indulged. They were incredible, each of them, and they fit into my life like they'd been born to be there. I didn't know whether to celebrate or to run like hell.Oh, and did I mention they were aliens?*Please note this is a reverse harem and the authors suggest you always read the forwards in their books. This is the first in a trilogy.
