  Katherine's will appoints her loving and loyal groundskeeper Baily as executor, leaving estranged grandson Del livid. Since Del wasn't around, it's stipulated he must spend thirty days under the same roof as Ginger and Baily to get to know the cat as a loving companion, not just a commodity, in order to share in any inheritance. 
  As the men bond over the weeks leading into Christmas, Baily is unaware Scrooge-like Del is sneaking around, searching out cash and other valuables. Will they be able to make nice once Baily discovers Del's naughtiness? Which list does Ginger end up on? And what will Katherine's last gift to each man mean to their future?

  Can a chance meeting in the rain change someone's life?
  Meeting someone who can make him stop going is an eye-opener for Henrik. The man, Mikko, is his complete opposite, a steady rock in the wild rainstorm that is Henrik's life, but the connection between them is both unexpected and instantaneous. Their encounter only lasts a few minutes, but before they part, they exchange phone numbers. 
  They live far away from each other, but soon they text and call daily, until Mikko is Henrik's dearest friend and most trusted person. But a late-night question on the phone has Henrik re-evaluating his feelings. It's impossible to love someone you've only met in person once ... right? 
  Is the connection Henrik and Mikko forged long distance enough to sustain them when they meet again? And will their love be strong enough to give them the happily ever after they deserve?

  Freddie Churchill is no prodigal son. After living his freshman year of college proudly as a heathen, he comes home to the closet, and to a father who will always put the Mormon Church before him. He's on his best behavior. Until one Sunday, from across the chapel, he flirts with a temptation too good to pass up.
  
  
  Jamie Fairfax is preparing to serve a mission for the Church he's always loved. He is pushing himself hard to overcome lingering doubts and intrusive anxieties, to be the valiant missionary the Lord needs him to be. And before he can prove himself worthy to serve, the Lord asks Jamie to minister to Freddie, and to entangle himself in his most forbidden desires.
  
  
  They won't be married in the temple for time and all eternity. But they just might get their happily ever after ...

  Nautch Boy - A Memoir of My Life...

  The Last Courtesan was his mother's story. Nautch Boy tells his own. 
   
  A sweet-faced, quiet boy dressed in matching pink shorts and a top poses demurely for a photograph in a kotha, holding a flower vase with plastic white daisies in it. Powdered, scented women around him sparkle and pirouette like movie stars on the silver screen. The boy looks at them in awe. Will he be able to join them in this evening of glamour and music? When will he become a nautch boy?  
  His dream is jinxed by his courtesan mother Rekhabai's ambition to secure his future away from every last thing that ties him to the kotha. But can he silence the music in his veins?  
  Sent off to a boarding school in the hills, the boy learns to balance the two worlds-he can undulate his hips to popular Hindi songs like his mother but also recite by heart the poems of Rossetti and Shelley.  
  Nautch Boy is Manish Gaekwad's account of being born and raised in a disrespected environment at odds with his privileged education. He finds his vocation as a reporter, screenwriter and a novelist, and eventually replaces that flower vase of fake white daisies with colourful stories of love, laughter and decay from the kothas.

  The Arch-Mage's Firebird

  Thomas East was meant to be the youngest Arch-Mage in history, a magical genius and a solver of problems. But he hadn't expected quite so many problems -- not to mention the endless meetings, bureaucracy, and political negotiations. So he's currently hiding in a sleepy California seaside town, working in an ice cream parlor and avoiding everyone he's let down ... until a firebird in need of rescue crashes into his shop.
  Nicholas Incandesco has far too many problems. He's a firebird, a shapeshifter, and a power source, and a lot of magicians could use someone with his gifts. He's also technically a murder suspect with two magical bounty hunters on his trail. He just wants someplace safe to land, and the attractive witch behind the ice cream counter might offer a sweet refuge. 
  This encounter might be exactly what both Nicholas and Tom need to find themselves ... and rescue each other.
