  Not your average peck on the cheek ...
  Mild mannered Derek is a perfectly ordinary bloke living a perfectly ordinary life. He works at the library, supports Stoke City football team, and cares for the twelve beautiful racing pigeons he inherited from his father in his spare time. He isn't into kink. He definitely isn't into feathers, in spite of the birds. So when a mysterious young man appears in his home claiming to be a pigeon, it's all a bit much. 
  Avery is eccentric, perching on the furniture, refusing to eat eggs and stealing Derek's chocolate digestive biscuits when his back is turned. He's also attractive, kind, mischievous, and a dab hand with a feather, and Derek finds himself falling madly in love. But when he discovers the truth about Avery, it causes him to question everything he thought he knew about himself. And when those doubts take him to a very dark place, it's up to a library book, his own innate decency, and Avery himself, to make things right again. 
  This sweet, angsty romance is a contemporary, tongue-in-cheek take on the old northern European Swan Maiden fairy tale.

  Open Secret An - The Family...

  In 1922 Robert Allerton—described by the Chicago Tribune as the “richest bachelor in Chicago”—met a twenty-two-year-old University of Illinois architecture student named John Gregg, who was twenty-six years his junior. Virtually inseparable from then on, they began publicly referring to one another as father and son within a couple years of meeting. In 1960, after nearly four decades together, and with Robert Allerton nearing ninety, they embarked on a daringly nonconformist move: Allerton legally adopted the sixty-year-old Gregg as his son, the first such adoption of an adult in Illinois history. 
   
  An Open Secret tells the striking story of these two iconoclasts, locating them among their queer contemporaries and exploring why becoming father and son made a surprising kind of sense for a twentieth-century couple who had every monetary advantage but one glaring problem: they wanted to be together publicly in a society that did not tolerate their love. Deftly exploring the nature of their design, domestic, and philanthropic projects, Nicholas L. Syrett illuminates how viewing the Allertons as both a same-sex couple and an adopted family is crucial to understanding their relationship’s profound queerness. By digging deep into the lives of two men who operated largely as ciphers in their own time, he opens up provocative new lanes to consider the diversity of kinship ties in modern US history.

  Bastien is a vampire on vacation, and like any other vampire on vacation, all he wants to do is sleep all day and drink lots of wine. (And maybe some blood too. You know. If the opportunity arises.)  
  Which makes it very irritating when a vampire-hunting priest wakes him up at a super bright and sunny hour to kill him. But it turns out that this vampire hunter happens to be very handsome.  
  And Bastien happens to be so very thirsty...

  What happens at the swimming hole, stays at the swimming hole… 
  When Adler arrives at Second Chance Ranch, I know he’s trouble. Adler gets under my skin like no one else and threatens my quiet, orderly, ranch foreman life. 
  In fact, my body’s reaction to his presence is something of a surprise. When I have the chance to explore the chemistry between us while secretly skinny dipping, I go for it because I know all too well that city slickers never stay long. 
  Except Adler comes back… 
  And I’m tasked with training him to be a ranch hand. No matter how tempting Adler’s easy smiles are, I can’t risk a repeat encounter for several reasons: 
  I’m his boss. 
  I hate gossip, especially when I’m the subject. 
  And doing my job right will always be my top priority. 
  Adler challenges all of that with chaos, rescue dogs, and an attraction that refuses to quit. As the weeks pass, our connection deepens into a secret fling. My rodeo days taught me how to handle a rough ride, but Adler has me falling fast. 
  Landing in the dirt is going to hurt, but I can’t bring myself to end things. Adler’s everything I never knew I wanted, but he won’t be content with staying in the shadows forever. Can I be the cowboy he needs and deserves before he’s gone for good? 
  Keep You Safe is book two in beloved author Annabeth Albert’s small-town Colorado cowboy romance series with Yellowstone meets Schitt’s Creek vibes. This return to the ranch features a stoic foreman and a younger city slicker turned ranch hand. Grumpy/sunshine, fish out of water, age gap with mature main characters, reluctant coworkers, sensual exploration, hurt/comfort, found family, and big feels with a standalone HEA guaranteed!
