About Maya-Gawonii Shabazz-Saleh

Briarbound: At the christening of the mortal prince, Prince Rory Briar, the fae are called to bless the child. By the old law, two kinds answer: the Tenders, who give a life its gifts, and the Reckoners, who name its cost. But the court of Briar has learned to love only blessings, so the Reckoner Mallorie is left off the list. She answers the insult with precision: at fifteen, the prince will prick his finger on his father's sword and fall into a sleep that only true love's kiss can break.

  • Cupid & Co February 10, 2027

    When pragmatic divorce attorney Tanya Williams publicly dismantles dating-app mogul Rose Papadopoulos in a viral podcast debate, she expects mild internet fame---not a job offer. What neither of them know: his algorithm isn't just good code, it runs on actual magic. Hired to keep his company "ethically human," Tanya becomes Rose's favorite sparring partner-and his accidental match. Between board-room banter, late-night coding sessions, and a matchmaking glitch heard 'round the internet, their enemies-to-lovers tension turns incandescent.

Yasmeen Khoury-Dot, to her mother-is twenty-nine and has killed more men than he has. She kills the ones who slight her. She kills the ones who don't.

    Midnight in California: A Holiday Duology brings together two aching, funny, quietly magical holiday romances-one lit by Bay Area fog and unfinished conversations, one lit by Los Angeles lights and a clock that refuses to move. In The Twelve Voicemails of Christmas, Kaya Dela Cruz and Theo Vega broke up eight years ago and never looked back... until voicemails full of everything unsaid begin arriving at 12:03 a.m., the twelve nights leading up to Christmas. Problem is, neither of them remember leaving any voicemails.
