Summary

Jimmy McSwain returns, but the question lingers, now that he has finally solved the fifteen-year-old murder of his NYPD cop-father, Joseph, who has he become?
Busy concentrating on family issues, Jimmy hasn't taken a new case in nearly three months, and when a call comes in from Philip Connelly, who wants proof of his wife, Myra's, cheating, Jimmy is torn. Take the case, or say no. He rejects it, only to learn a week later that Philip has been found dead in a park on Staten Island. The police believe it was suicide, but Myra -- a self-admitted adulteress -- is convinced he was murdered. Jimmy agrees to take the case. But it seems his decision to rejoin the world has also affected the other areas of his life: his sister is facing a health crisis, an old friend from his father's past has resurfaced, and his lover, Captain Francis X. Frisano, is working a difficult case in Chelsea where gay men are being attacked. 
If that wasn't enough, Jimmy is on the hunt to bring down his new nemesis, the criminal mastermind Mr. Wu-Tin. A fire at one of his warehouses stirs fear in Jimmy that the man is trying to destroy evidence of his crimes. That's when life throws him a twist, and suddenly Jimmy feels that just as he's hoping to find answers, new mysteries emerge about whether the path he's on leads to a fresh start, or a fresh kill.

    Mia Voss walked away from a promising competitive climbing career to chase something deeper in the silence of stone and sky. Free soloing brings her the peace she craves despite the danger, the judgment, and the loneliness of summits that seem to scrape the edge of heaven. 
     
    Alex Kerrigan, a seasoned search and rescue ranger, doesn’t have time for thrill-seekers—especially not ones who climb without ropes. But something about Mia gets under her skin. She's uninhibited, magnetic, and maybe more fractured than she’s letting on. 
     
    When a stunt turns into a disaster, their lives and hearts collide on the face of Longs Peak. What begins as a rescue becomes a breaking point—for survival, for truth, and for the rare stillness of being known. 
     
    Everything That Falls is an exhilarating novel of emotional grit, breathtaking risk, and an intimate romance set against the unforgiving beauty of the wild.

    When Randall Whealton, Earl of Plymouth, loses a bet to his friend the Duke of Northumberland, he pays the price: spend a month with him and Alan at Alan's family ranch in Wyoming. It's the last thing he wants to do, but pride and honor won't let him back down.
    Cattle wrangler Sawyer Kincaid works with livestock and horses at the Justice ranch. The job suits him—animals he understands, but people are a whole different ball game. And the stuffy Englishman Alan and George bring with them is among the worst of the lot: snooty, stuck-up… and hot as hell. A combination Sawyer is determined to ignore.
    Sawyer works hard, and he's good at his job, but Randall always thinks he knows better. Sawyer would love to kick his ass back across the pond… until an outing at the local watering hole when with hands from another ranch decide to show Randall who's boss. Ranch hands stand up for each other, and Sawyer finds himself defending Randall and later nursing his injuries. That buried attraction flares to life—but it could just as easily burn out once Randall's time in Wyoming is up.

    WARNING: Those who don't remember my past are doomed to repeat it.I'm Prancing As Fast As I Can is a coming of Gay story that takes us from a scared, self-hating kid who spends most of his time under his desk staring at the hunky man on the Doan's Pills box, to becoming a writer on Will & Grace, helping to make it a little easier for other scared, self-hating kids who might also be hiding and staring at their secret desire. It's a journey through Olympic mustaches and when Chér's name had an accent and losing your virginity to a trucker and chasing Gay bashers in six-inch heels dressed as a drag bunny and a terrible virus and memorials and memorials and memorials and ACTing UP and using the word "lover" and having a fan who's also a serial killer and Gay penguins and spreading your boyfriends' ashes with your new boyfriend and Prop 8 and getting to write lines for divas on Ugly Betty and Gay marriage and more stuff like that and in the end ketamine therapy to help it all make sense.
