Threads of Purpose by Douglas Bell: Asher Tidwell was trained to survive—through silence, perfection, and control. But when one mistake shatters his future, meditation becomes his only refuge. Guided by Buddhist wisdom, Asher sits in stillness long enough to face his truth: the life he built was never his own. What rises in that silence is clarity, grief—and a long-buried dream.

Threads of Purpose is a powerful literary novel about race, identity, and the quiet courage it takes to choose purpose over performance—and to become who you truly are.

The Summer That Ruined Everything by ST Bell: Sometimes ruining everything is the only way to save yourself.

It's 1963, and Cal Buchanan has resigned himself to one more summer stuck in his parents' high-society beach community before he graduates from Harvard and steps into the life that has been planned for him. He'll be working at his father's company and marrying a longtime family friend who is the perfect wife for a wealthy society executive. It's not the life he'd choose for himself, but he knows he can't have what he truly wants.

He must keep an important part of his identity a secret from everyone.

That is, until he meets Jack Francis, an up-and-coming Hollywood heartthrob who is vacationing at the beach mansion next door. Jack is unlike anyone Cal has ever met: free-spirited, impulsive, and unashamed of his desires. As Cal grows closer to Jack and their friendship turns into a secret summer fling, Cal begins to wonder: does he have more choices than he thought, and does he have the courage to make them?

The Dark Band by Rachel Oslin Bradford: What happens when you’re betrayed by your people...

Weeks before her 23rd birthday and what should have been her ensuing wedding, Liviana Peat is wrongfully accused of treacherous crimes against men in her conservative community of Heimoor and is sentenced to death. When a mysterious stranger intervenes and offers to buy her from her father and the town instead, he spares her life but condemns her to exile from the only home she’s ever known. Still reeling from her trauma, the mysterious stranger introduces her to his traveling companions, collectively known as The Dark Band. She has no choice but to travel with this group of men on the next phases of their journey.

...and banished from the only life you’ve ever known?

But Liviana is keeping a secret, one that she feels might hold more danger for her if the men find out. As they continue on, Liviana begins to heal and grows closer to the men with each passing day, but darker forces and magical mysteries are at play: there is a violent death in the woods and dark myths are whispered to be wandering about. When Liviana and the Dark Band stumble upon something straight out of folklore, they will do whatever they can to survive.

And forced to face the darkness...within and without?

Poseidon’s Daughters by Reign Reeves Pearson: They thought they could break her.

They thought she would run. That she would unravel. That she would drown in grief and disappear, a ghost before she was ever gone. They were dead wrong.

Eirianwen spent years burying her past, carving out a life that was hers alone. No handlers. No missions. No leash. Just a fragile illusion of peace, held together by the hope they they would never find her again.

But ghosts don’t get happy endings. A storm-wracked night. A corpse at her feet. A message written in blood.

They aren’t here to kill her. They’re here to erase her. To twist the truth, warp her history, break her mind piece by piece until no one will believe a word she says. If she speaks, they’ll call her a liar. If she fights back, they’ll call her dangerous. And when she finally disappears, the world won’t even ask where she went.

But Eirianwen is done running. They wanted her desperate. They wanted her spiraling. They wanted a ghost.

She’ll give them a reckoning.
