Jacob Ellington I've been bred for success. As the CFO of my father's wealth management firm, I know exactly what's expected of me and the image I must uphold. To the outside world, my long-term girlfriend and I are beautiful, powerful, successful...and rich. However, the suit I wear hides more than my cut physique. Living a lie has been the norm since I was a teenager. Although not ideal, I have a great woman by my side and a promising future. Everything is as it should be. Until I cross paths with Dylan Ryder. One look and everything I've worked so hard to conceal comes rushing to the surface. One taste and I'm ready to burn my life as I know it to the ground. Dylan Ryder I'm used to being judged. My Mexican-American heritage earns me some looks, my tattoos earn me others, and of course being on a date with another man ensures whoever wasn't staring because of the first two things, definitely is now. But I haven't been on a date in a while. With my family's automotive shop under attack from vandals I'm working longer hours to try and make ends meet as business keeps waning. So, when I crumple the front-end of a Maserati at the grocery store, I really don't have the time or money to deal with it. But knowing it's the right thing to do, I offer to fix it anyway. Wholly unprepared for the onslaught of lust as Jacob Ellington enters my life, I struggle to maintain control. However, as our paths continue to cross, I become unsure if I even want control anymore. And when our mouths inevitably collide, he lights my world on fire. Literally.

The rage of women is at a high: sparked by the Women's March of early 2017, stoked by countless policies of the Trump administration, and finally reaching incineration levels over the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh in October 2018. But this issue isn't just timely--there's depth to the idea of women's rage: who gets to be angry (white women, black women, young women)? How do women express their anger? And what will they do with it as a collective? In Burn It Down , a diverse group of women authors explore what rage means to them--from the personal to the systemic, the unackowledged to the public, and more. One woman describes a complicated rage at one's own body--for being ill with no explanation--while another writes of the rage she inherits from her father. One Pakistani-American contributor says, "to openly express my anger would be too American," and explains why. Edited by Lilly Dancyger, a Catapult editor and writing instructor, Burn It Down is an anthology that offers literary catharsis and narrative variety to the many readers who have propelled Rebecca Traiser's Good and Mad to the NYT bestseller list.
