Book excerpt: Althea is nothing but trouble! Everyone agrees: her mama, her daddy, her teacher, even the policeman. But when Buddy Walker, the play leader on Althea's street in Harlem, watches her play paddle tennis, he sees something more: pure possibility. Buddy buys Althea her very own stringed tennis racket, and before long, she's on her way to becoming a great athlete—and to proving that she's more than just trouble. Althea Gibson was the first African American ever to compete in and win the Wimbledon Cup. Born in 1927, she was a spirited child and became an enormously talented athlete. Sue Stauffacher's lively text, paired with vibrant paintings by artist Greg Couch, captures the exuberance, ambition, and triumph of this remarkable woman. Readers will cheer from the stands as Althea transforms from playground tomboy to Wimbledon champion.

Book excerpt: Rachel Gibson, who occupies a very special place in readers’ hearts alongside Lori Foster and Jennifer Crusie, delights with this funny, smart, and sexy story of an ex- starlet’s attempt to start over as the personal assistant to a cantankerous—but very hot—ex-hockey player. Nothing But Trouble is nothing but wonderful! Trouble . . . Chelsea Ross's acting career has been a total bust. The closest she ever came to stardom was her brilliant performance as "Pretty Dead Girl #1." But leaving Hollywood to become the personal assistant to a famous hockey player could be her stupidest career move ever. More trouble . . . Injured superstar Mark Bressler's glory days are over. The bad-boy ex-jock could at least be civil to the pint-sized, pink-haired bombshell who the Seattle Chinooks hired to be his P.A. If Chelsea didn't need the money, she'd be running from the world's biggest jerk as fast as her feet could carry her. Big trouble! Chelsea can deal with Mark's rotten attitude and dark moods. The problem is those biceps and that red-hot bod! And when the bad boy starts to put the moves on her, Chelsea knows it's time she banished him to the penalty box . . . if only she could resist the kind of trouble he has in mind!

Book excerpt: In 2007, Nathan Rabin set out to provide a revisionist look at the history of cinematic failure on a weekly basis. What began as a solitary ramble through the nooks and crannies of pop culture evolved into a way of life. My Year Of Flops collects dozens of the best-loved entries from the A.V. Club column along with bonus interviews and fifteen brand-new entries covering everything from notorious flops like The Cable Guy and Last Action Hero to bizarre obscurities like Glory Road, Johnny Cash’s poignantly homemade tribute to Jesus. Driven by a unique combination of sympathy and Schadenfreude, My Year Of Flops is an unforgettable tribute to cinematic losers, beautiful and otherwise.

Book excerpt: For five years, Cecilia Morgan’s entire existence has revolved around playing personal assistant to self-centered former NFL quarterback Wade Carter. Their arguments have been the stuff of legend. But just when she finally gives her notice, his father’s health fails, and she suddenly finds herself in Wade’s hometown. Now if she can just ignore how sexy her ex-boss is starting to look in his Wranglers... To say CC’s notice is a bombshell is massive understatement. Wade can’t imagine his life without his “left tackle.” She’s the only person who stands up to him, and it’s his favorite thing about her. And he’ll do anything to convince CC to stay—even if it means playing dirty. Now they’re living under the same roof, getting involved in small-town politics, and five years of fighting is starting to feel a whole lot like foreplay. But when a quarterback realizes he might be falling for his MVP, he’ll have to throw a Hail Mary she’ll never see coming... Each book in the Credence, Colorado series is STANDALONE: * Nothing But Trouble * The Trouble with Christmas * Asking for Trouble
