On December 2nd, we have the one that we're most anticipating for the year (but we’re a bit biased!). When the Rest of the World Dances by our Bryony Rosehurst is an incredibly touching and beautiful collection of poetry.
while the rest of the world dances is a collection of poems surrounding personal experiences of mental and chronic illness, relationships, coming of age, inequality, and other life experiences, both good and bad, with the parts separated into seasons.
her roots were planted in cold, black mud,
not enough water,
not enough love,
not enough sunlight,
so she forgot to grow.
don’t put her leaves in your mouth:
this soil has always been poison,
and now she is, too.
December 6th brings two cooks in swoony romantic comedy A Dash of Salt and Pepper by Kosoko Jackson.
Xavier Reynolds is doing less than stellar. He just got dumped, was passed over for a prestigious fellowship, and to top it all off he's right back home in Harper's Cove, Maine (population: 9,000). The last thing he wants to do is to work as a prep chef in the kitchen of the hip new restaurant in town, The Wharf. Especially since the hot, single-father chef who owns it can't delegate to save his life.
Logan O'Hare doesn't understand Xavier or why every word out of his mouth is dipped in sarcasm. Unfortunately, he has no choice but to hire him--he needs more help in the kitchen and his tween daughter, Anne, can only mince so many onions. It might be a recipe for disaster, but Logan doesn't have many options besides Xavier.
Stuck between a stove and a hot place, Logan and Xavier discover an unexpected connection. But when the heat between them threatens to top the Scoville scale, they'll have to decide if they can make their relationship work or if life has seasoned them too differently.

When He Beckons by Halli Starling brings high heat MLM romance on December 28th.
A charming - but slightly strange - accidental first meeting at a skate park. Opposites attract. And technically...one works for the other one.
Zan has a fast mouth and a lot of technical know-how, so dating hasn't always been easy. He'd set aside any notion of a romantic life to work and spend as much time outdoors as possible. Biking, canoeing, skiing, you name it. He's never tried skateboarding, even though he stops by the skate park near the trail where he bikes to watch boards - and sometimes people - flip, or crash hard.
Instead of skater-watching, Zan meets Deacon. Deacon's odd and interesting, and it turns out, the head of the small indie press of which Zan is a huge fan. Rochester Press puts out the weird and erotic, the dark and mischievous, and finally meeting the head of the press is great. Maybe not so great - Deacon has just hired the printing company Zan works for, and now Zan's in charge of all the new jobs.
It'll be fine.
Except Zan (and his big mouth) immediately asks Deacon out on a date. And Deacon accepts. There's no fraternization clause in Zan's contract, or Deacon's. It should be fine.
A high-heat, quirky novella about two people who would never seek out a date via online platforms or at speed dating. But their weird seems to compliment each other.
And last but not least is Woe in Total Darkness by Sem Thornwood is rivals to lovers with forbidden love and secret relationship that is coming out on December 30th.

All the while in the safe lands of the Moon Kingdom, Princess Zuraya Haliyes doesn’t even waste a thought over the curse. She spends her days planning the wedding to her very handsome fiancé and her nights escaping from nightmares. Zuraya doesn’t dare question her perfect life.
