        Bad Kitty

        by Roberts, Teresa Noelle

        When you make the Devil’s bargain, be prepared to take the heat. A lot of heat.     Chronicles of the Malcolm, Book 2     Most of Xia’s early memories are repressed, thank the Great Cat Mother. But her body remembers how to kill.     The longer she and her fellow Malcolm crewmates are holed up on Cibari hiding from assassins, the twitchier she gets—until the planet’s insanely sexy Warlord, Rahal Mizyar, borrows her skills to take out slavers.     Rahal suspects Xia is his mate, but the human-raised female never learned the finer points of felinoid rituals. The solution: make her fall hard and fast for him, even if it means playing dirty.     Hired to determine if Xia is the long-missing granddaughter of the felinoid prime minister, Cal Janssen has finally tracked her down. Getting past Rahal, though, is a problem—until he’s mistaken for a notorious arms dealer and playboy. And he finds himself the object of both Rahal’s and Xia’s seduction.     When their first mission brings Xia’s memories bulleting back to the surface, she realizes she’s fallen for two men who don’t exist. Running away, however, could be her deadliest mistake.     Warning: Contains an assassin with a swiss cheese memory, a badass warlord who’s getting tired of his own con, and a freelance lawman. Secrets, lies, and hot sex with no rules.

        We Were Dreamers

        by Simu Liu

        This is Simu Liu’s superhero origin story.   Weaving together the narratives of two generations in a Chinese family who are inextricably tied to one another even as they are torn apart by deep cultural misunderstanding, We Were Dreamers traces Liu’s unlikely journey from Harbin, China to Hollywood within the context of his family’s immigration story.   Liu’s parents left him to be raised by his grandparents in China while they sought a future in North America. Liu was devastated when the father he hardly even remembered returned to take him away from the only home he ever knew; culture gaps, racism, and wildly conflicting definitions of success made it difficult to become a family.   Ultimately, it's Liu’s singular determination to make his dreams come true agai nst all odds that not only leads him to succeed as an actor but also opens the door to reconciliation with his parents. For by the time he is 30 – the same age his parents were when they immigrated – he recognizes that he and his parents have much in common, most notably their courage to dream, and to dream big.
