  Sequel to A United Front
  In London during the spring of 1818, the close-knit group of men successfully routed a recent threat of extortion that particularly impacted Jo Everett and Daniel Walters. The after-effects might linger, but everyday life and other challenges keep all four couples occupied.
  Luc, the musician, and Harry, the actor, are heavily involved with a production at Drury Lane Theatre. Ben is helping Edward to counter his father's edict that Edward quits London to take the reins of the family doctor's practice in Wiltshire, leaving behind his lover and his medical research.
  Meanwhile, Percy is out of sorts at the prospect of his sister Eustacia's upcoming wedding. As usual, his long-suffering lover Nathan bears the brunt of Percy's mercurial moods. Life above the tailor's shop at Tottenham Court Road has apparently returned to normal since the banishment of the corrupt constable, Jabeth Snell.
  But neither Jo nor Daniel has fully recovered from their close escape. Jo is trying to put on a brave face while Daniel's old doubts have resurfaced, making him keep Jo at a distance. Can Jo and Daniel weather the storm and return to their previously happy existence? And will their friends rally round to help them reconcile?

  Barefoot strangers crashing a beloved cat's funeral leads to horrified pearl clutching, wacky adventures, and blossoming friendships in Megan Okonsky's hilariously irreverent debut. 
   
  Tombstone, Texas, has never seen anything like the barefoot travelers who barrel in one afternoon, looking like they just stepped out of the seventies. They appear right in the middle of Pinky Elizabeth Swear's eulogy for her beloved rescue cat, Sweet Potato Grace (may she rest in eternal peace and abundance of goat cheese). To be honest, Pinky is relieved at the interruption. She'd planned to use the second half of her eulogy to come out of the closet. Now, she doesn't have to. 
   
  Are the newcomers a circus troupe? Revolutionaries? A sinister cult? While the town grows suspicious and rumor mills churn, Pinky finds herself drawn to the charisma of the barefoot strangers. Perhaps, she starts to think, the wrath of Tombstone is a thing worth risking in order to be true to oneself.

  Liam, Bart, and Evan have been best friends since all of them met in college. Though Liam is straight, he makes an effort to take out his two friends to all the gay bars in their city. Liam acts as the matchmaker for many of his gay friends, but he has not made the connection between Evan and Bart. At least, not yet.
  Evan and Bart find themselves drawn towards one another through their shared love of punk music and video games, but unable to make a move. Evan, a former drunk who is still working on getting his life together, fears his own weakness in the face of alcohol and the pressures of his family. Bart, a runaway from his home state of Utah and his Mormon family, still struggles with what he is allowed to believe. 
  After Liam breaks up with Sarah, his best friends Bart and Evan meet at his apartment for a night of conciliatory drinking. When they arrive to find Liam's place empty and messier than ever, the two of them are forced to wait until their friend shows up. Through a series of flashbacks and heartfelt conversations, Bart and Evan learn that they have waited long enough for one another. By the end of the night, Liam, Evan, and Bart all hope for their broken hearts to be mended, but it may take more effort than usual.

  One hotel room. One bed. Zero chance of keeping it professional. 
  Harry 
  When I agreed to chaperone the boys’ hockey team, I thought my biggest challenge would be pretending to understand the rules—not being stuck sharing a hotel room with Darius Hill. The hockey coach. The human whistle. The man who’s made my Mondays miserable for years. 
  But somewhere between the bus ride, the tense semifinal, and one very small bed, I start to realize the worst part of Darius Hall might be how much I like him. 
  Darius 
  I’ve spent years pretending Harry Peterson doesn’t get under my skin. Easier to tease him than admit I notice everything—his color-coded lesson plans, the cedar-and-coffee smell, that unguarded laugh. 
  Now we’re stuck sharing a hotel room, and I’m running out of excuses for the way I feel. One bed. One night. And suddenly I can’t decide what’s harder to handle: his endless commentary or how much I miss it when he stops talking. 
  Peaches and Pucks is a cozy, rivals-to-lovers novella full of banter, heart, and heat—because sometimes love takes a slapshot straight through your defenses.
