Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Marcus thought the worst thing in his life was being alone. He was wrong. After his relationship quietly falls apart, Marcus finds himself sitting in his apartment, surrounded by silence he helped create. The conversations he avoided. The distance he let grow.

Something easy to ignore.But the longer he sits with it. the harder it becomes to pretend it isn't there. Watching.Waiting.Understanding more about him than he wants to admit. As Marcus spirals through memory, regret, and the quiet truth of who he's been, he's forced to confront something far more terrifying than being alone: The possibility that he was never alone to begin with. The Thing in the Corner is a psychological, slow-burning exploration of avoidance, self-deception, and the quiet ways we disappear from our own lives. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Miles Crawford is the top car salesman at his dealership. He can read a customer before they close their door, close a deal before lunch, and hit his number every month. By every metric he's ever been given, he's winning.So why does he feel like he's starting over every thirty days?At a driving range on a Thursday evening, Miles meets Vernon Caldwell - a retired city councilman who moves through the world with an ease that money can't explain. Vernon never makes cold calls. Doors open before he knocks. People offer before he asks. And he's never sold anything in his life.Over nine sessions at the range, Vernon introduces Miles to a different kind of currency - one that can't be deposited, can't be counted, and can't be taken from you.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Grant Eriksen is a family law attorney in Houston with a clean record, a snake plant, and a life so quiet it echoes. Niesha Cole is a respiratory therapist and single mother of two who walks into his office with a color-coded binder, a custody case, and the kind of composure that comes from years of holding everything together alone.Her ex-husband is filing for expanded custody - not because he wants more time with their children, but because he wants to stop paying support. Grant takes the case. He wins the case. And somewhere between the courtroom and the ruling, between late-night phone calls that last too long and silences that say too much, the line between attorney and client disappears.What follows is not a fairy tale.It is the story of two people falling in love across the oldest line in America - a white man and a Black woman navigating the weight of a world that has opinions about who they are together. A world of stares in restaurants, polite discomfort at family dinners, and the quiet, grinding accumulation of moments that are too small to name and too heavy to carry. A world where love is real and still not enough.Set against the sprawl and humidity of Houston, Texas, Opposing Counsel is a novel about custody and code-switching, about binders and boundaries, about the difference between being needed and being loved. It is about a man who learns to see and a woman who is tired of teaching. About children who understand more than their parents realize. About a snake plant on a windowsill, still reaching toward light it cannot touch through the glass.They don't make it. But what they build - and what it teaches them - is worth every page.

Ora Lee Colson is a widow, a mother of three, and the woman whose house is on the list - the unwritten list passed hand to hand along the roads that Black musicians travel because the hotels won't have them and the restaurants would rather close than serve them.When word comes that Solomon "Smoke" Cartwright and his blues band are coming through on Saturday night, Ora Lee begins a three-day preparation that transforms her modest shotgun house into something sacred. She kills the chickens. She presses the tablecloth. She pulls down the good china - the set she only trusts to Easter and the dead.But Solomon Cartwright is not just any musician passing through.
