  How do you save a drowning man when that drowning man is you? Jake Moore's world fits too tightly around him. Every penny he makes as a welder goes to care for his dying father, an abusive, controlling man who's the only family Jake has left. Because of a promise to his dead mother, Jake resists his desire for other men, but it leaves him consumed by darkness. It takes all of Dallas Yates's imagination to see the possibilities in the fatigued art deco building on WeHo's outskirts, but what seals the deal is a shy smile from the handsome metal worker across the street. Their friendship deepens while Dallas peels back the hardened layers strangling Jake's soul. It's easy to love the sweet, artistic man hidden behind Jake's shattered exterior, but Dallas knows Jake needs to first learn to love himself. When Jake's world crumbles, he reaches for Dallas, the man he's learned to lean on. It's only a matter of time before he's left to drift in a life he never wanted to lead and while he wants more, Jake's past haunts him, making him doubt he's worth the love Dallas is so desperate to give him.

  Things to Aim For accurately summarizes this collection of work by Rodney Ross, all previously published by JMS Books and for the first time conjoined.
  Whether it's a Palm Springs Christmas Eve gathering gone awry, an embittered father harassing a vet tech to euthanize his dead son's cat, or a circuit-party leftover heading to the Midwest for his disapproving father's funeral and a sister with secrets, every character's aspiration leads to something unexpected. They flail, they fail, they prevail in finding a measure of serenity and love. Contains the stories: O, Christmas T(h)ree: Stanton and Clay's Christmas Eve party becomes a series of threesomes: abandoned kittens, a vet keen on sharing their bed and a frantic couple with a little boy who rented the house from a fraudulent site. December 24th won't be a silent night.
  
  Smoking with Didi: Pete makes a reluctant trip to small-town Ohio for his father's funeral. There he's battered by flashbacks of an anxious adolescence and his late father's rejection. His sister Didi has a few things she wants to get off her chest, but the surprise may be hers when Pete opens a floodgate of his own secrets.
  
  The Old Man at My Door: A winter storm warning blankets the news stations before the blizzard itself. But at Renata's farmhouse door, already flocked with snow, comes an unexpected knock: Albin Lawrence, an old man who grew up in the house. Renata's caution yields to common sense as she welcomes him in for a tour. What danger, really, could a shaky man over eighty, who has only one arm, represent?
  
  Bended Knee: When restaurateur Hugh Neumann rebukes Oliver Nicholas's very public proposal to his boyfriend during a Valentine's Day dinner, the diverted Cupid's arrow strikes Hugh not in the heart, but in the ass. An unrelenting media storm of commentary begins to affect home life with his partner Dominick and forces Hugh to question their decade-long relationship.
  
  Otis: An embittered old man's Christmas Eve trip to the veterinarian with his late son's cat Otis yields an unexpected lesson. As the snowfall mounts and city streets become impassable, is it too late for redemption?

  Matteo Garras wants to be left alone. Most people take the hint. Apparently, Charlie Marsh isn't most people. From the moment the alpha—who smells like sunshine—sits down next to Matteo at the local shifter bar, Matteo's world tilts on its axis, making him want a future he didn't think he could have, one he doesn't think he deserves. 
   
   
   
  Charlie has always had a thing for grumpy cats, so his instant attraction to Matteo isn't a surprise, but the intensity of his feelings and his possessive desire to protect the brooding omega are. The more Charlie gets to know Matteo, the more he realizes they have in common, including scars that are more than skin deep. 
   
   
   
  When pain from Matteo's past tries to make him push Charlie away, fate pulls them back to each other, binding them together forever and giving Charlie the chance to show Matteo he deserves everything he's ever dreamed of having.

  Inspiring and timely, Pauli Murray's Revolutionary Life is the riveting story of an African American woman, born in 1910, who blazed through the barriers of race and gender decades before the Civil Rights and Women's Movements. Pauli Murray fearlessly rode freight trains dressed as a boy during the Great Depression and befriended First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt before embarking on a pioneering life of social activism, legal scholarship, and many firsts. In 1944, Pauli graduated first in her class at Howard University; in 1965, she was the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in law from Yale University; in 1966, she was a founder of NOW, the first National Organization for Women; and in 1977, Pauli was the first Black woman to be ordained as an Episcopal priest. Pauli never faced a barrier she couldn't smash through, and her life as a feminist, civil rights lawyer, poet, author, activist, and priest paved the way for all to live a life of equality and purpose.
